North America 3rd largest booking broker

North America’s 3rd highest booking broker

Top 3 for 14 consecutive years

Going to boat shows around the world is breathtaking and hard work at the same time. The organizers reward the top ten brokers with complimentary inscribed broker bags in which to place their dock floor plans, ball point pens and writing pads for various notes. I also use my broker's bag to house my camera that i use to take photos of the yacht and crews. The reason for the broker bags is to thank those hard working booking brokers and to tell the crews on board each yacht, that this is one of the top booking brokers they have on board.

Starting from about 2001 Barrington-Hall broke into the top 3 highest booking brokers and this continued until 2015, when we changed our direction slightly. We find that quality is far better than quantity, so we selected the lower priced high-end mono-hulls and the lower priced good quality catamarans and the lower priced quality power boats and decided not to venture below those Fresh benchmarks. It is so important that our guests enjoy THEIR vacation without any problems. We have found this to be a far better way to do business but we do not get every client who comes to us for answers, but we remain in the top 5 booking brokers.

A wonderful reason for success is THAT we concentrate on fully crewed yacht vacations worldwide, we do not do villa rentals, no bare boat Yacht rentals, no captain only rentals. We have also changed our industry, where we have some of the crews contract directly to us as well as the owner. This is the first time this has been done and the one reason is to get better crew to serve our guests. The crew represent Barrington-Hall so they better do a better job for our guests.

What is our job as a charter broker? It is just one simple fact; our guests must shed tears of joy on their last day of vacation. Nothing else.

Our service to our guests today is tomorrow’s reputation.

ultimate yacht vacation

Your ULTIMATE VACATION experience is right here!

Barrington-Hall private yacht charters around the world, we rent private yachts with captain and crew teams in most destinations, but guests’ most popular destinations remain: Caribbean, Bahamas, French/Italian Riviera and Greece.

STEP # 1. Your broker

It is wise get the right broker who has cruised all these locations in a private yacht and or captained vessels in these locations, because that broker/brokers generally know exactly what they are doing and are very serious about making sure their guests get the best and see the better anchorages in those various locations. Barrington-Hall know which is “THE” best one week of the year and which is the best week of each month, and we explain why. Not all brokers are the same, 10% of brokers treat this profession as a full-time profession, the rest dabble in the industry. Barrington-Hall and staff have two professionals captains who have both remained within Barrington-Hall since 1995. We treat this industry as our full-time profession and have done so since inception. We travel to various boat shows around the world, so that we know the boats and the captains and their crew teams. Annual boat shows we attend are Greece, Genoa, Antigua, Tortola and the USVI boat shows. The better we know the crew and their yachts, the better your vacation.

It is your broker who shares with you, where to go and what to do, we were by far the first company to set up example itineraries with our own pictures to show guests where they are going to be. We want our guests to be as educated as possible about their selected yacht and location. Once you speak to Andrew or any one of the Barrington Staff you have reached the top private yacht company out there, no need to look for other brokers. You will always reach one of our staff 24-7 and a live person always answers the telephone, unless all lines are occupied. You will never here the words, Hi your call is important to me I am away from my desk, leave a message and I will get back to you. If your call is important to them, then a live person will answer it, no excuses. It is also your broker’s duty to keep all guests away from open ocean crossings, when you cross an open ocean passage it is there where the ocean swells are and this is where guests get motion sickness. It is virtually impossible to be uncomfortable with the guidance of a top yacht charter broker. We provide our clients with material that enhances their yacht rental with us. We do not do “bare boat” rentals, no “captain only” rentals, all our yachts around the world are fully crewed.

Give our telephone number 954-720-0475 to family and friends, just in case of emergencies, I am the only person they will get at 2am 3am and 4 am, this includes week-ends. If you read STEP # 1, you know we are the only company for you in the world. Your ultimate decision is to first select the right broker…….

STEP # 2. Yacht rental.

Do not plan your trip in advance, get the right broker who will share with you everything you need to know about your itinerary. Now is not the right time to plan your itinerary, there is far more important things to do. We want your mind fresh and clear to do only one thing and that is select the boat you wish to enjoy and the crew you wish to enjoy. Clear your mind and ask your broker which yachts he/she suggests for your location. What a top broker does here is carefully select vessels he/she feels will fit your party -family or adults, active, passive, take it as it comes, cuisine, water sports, land sports, drinking party, normal drinkers, no drinkers, expensive weekly cost or normal. Many aspects effect your brokers mind, so it is wise for a top broker to provide a maximum of 3-5 vessels for you to select from. This means your broker has selected what he/she feels is the very best yacht for you and then we motivate which one meets your needs the best. Not all of us think the same, so if guests find a vessel on the internet first tell us the name of that yacht, you may have selected one he nearly placed on your top list, so it is a good one, or he/she may have walked far away from what you found on the internet.. Be careful we are dealing with people and some may not meet the standard we expect our guests to enjoy during their vacation. As a broker my job is not to save our guests $500 or $1,000 my job is to make sure we get the right yacht for our guests. We know when a saving of $800 is a good deal and only then will we tell our guests. Most owners simply offer specials because they cannot get enough business. Make a big note of the boats that have a 3 minute video, plus color brochures, these are generally the owners who give brokers the best tools to work with to solicit one week yacht rentals, so these are generally the better vessels to pay for. Our very first e-mail to our guests featuring various vessels will also has one example picture itinerary. This is more to show you what can be done than anything else, but everything is planned by myself at the appropriate time.

STEP # 3.

From the 5 vessels provided by your top yacht charter broker you can study their water toys, their after charter happy letters, their cabin layouts, their deck space for sun tanning, specifications, and crew profile plus look at the crews pictures, then peek at their different weekly rates. If one or two water toys are not on board the yacht you like, your yacht charter broker can have that placed on board for a small rental fee. Look at the year of manufacture, with Caribbean catamaran charters this is vital to your vacation because two different items have been manufactured into 2011-2017 catamarans, (some manufacturers have missed this even to today), but a top yacht charter broker will point out, each new Caribbean catamaran that have walk around beds in their cabins, better comfort for guests. The new sky lounge is an added 3 rd floor to the roof of these new catamarans, this is where guests sun tan, or sit next to their captain while cruising between the islands. This new sky lounge is where guests enjoy sunsets, high in the air with happy hour drinks and treats. Once guests charter a catamaran with walk around beds and a sky lounge they never want anything else. catamaran vacations will never be the same again, they just seem to be evolving. Many features on Caribbean power yachts, or all modern power yachts separate them as well and as long as the owner has maintained vessels correctly they can look brand spanking new even after many years chartering.

Take “Christina O” – this yacht belonged to Aristotle Onassis, who wooed Jackie Kennedy in the late 1960’s and this 1932 yacht was recently totally upgraded and looks magnificent inside. But many guests like the new modern sleek look, so the recently designed vessels from 2005 onward well maintained are generally the ones guests gravitate to today.

STEP # 4. Checking all details.

Having your broker provide your selected yachts means you do not need to look on the internet, that has been take out of the equation because of the work already done by your broker. You can comfortably look on the internet, but always ask your broker what he/she feels about the yacht you found. This is also an industry where selecting the cheap yachts can bring headaches. WE always suggest all our guests take out trip insurance, we can do this and also cover your airline seats as well as the cost of your yacht. Virgin Island yachts are normally price weekly and are all inclusive, because they know traveling is short and sweet, so price for fuel is generally no problem. The rest of the world price differently because no person can guess where guests are going to ask their captain where to go, so the big factor is fuel. If you ask for caviar, with expensive wines and champagnes, it can drive up costs as can docking one, or every night. So this is how all other vessels are priced for one week.

They have a base rate say $40,000 this is plus expenses + tax (if any). Barrington-Hall always total up all costs for all our guests.

Plus Expenses: The A.P.A. (Advance Provisioning Allowance). This sum is estimated at 35% of the total charter fee. The captain keeps all the receipts for the expenses and at the end of the charter will hand you receipts and the cash change. If costs exceed estimated APA, then additional funds will be required to cover outstanding bills upon disembarkation. APA covers, fuel, food, drinks, water, dockage and any costs incurred by your power yacht during your charter.

Plus expenses on a catamaran can be between 20%-25% or 30% depending on location and owners. Whatever money is not used during the week is refunded to guests. 90% of all our guests get a refund on their last day with a print-out of expenses.

STEP # 5 reservations:

Now to make reservations and payments. The earlier you book your trip the sooner you get the best vessel and best crew. 10 Months to 7 months is the normal booking time period. Here is how “YOU” do this. Let’s say you and some friends have a BBQ to get together to discuss such a trip and 3 agree to pay one third of the fees, then at this stage all 3 of you have settled on a provisional yacht. Call me immediately and I place a hold on the yacht for your trip. You are not obligated to this hold in anyway, I can drop the hold, you can change dates, or the boat and do a fresh hold. The hold in the Caribbean is good for 14 days and I can extend the hold for a further 14 days. The rest of the world has zero hold periods, whoever pays first gets the yacht. Generally we can go closer to the time of departure with selecting your yacht. No one is going to hold it. When these companies deal with Barrington-Hall they know we are serious, they will hold your yacht for us, as respect, but generally for 1 week.

At this stage we have not discussed itinerary in anyway. We have not discussed your cuisine or your drinks, again it is smart to keep your mind clear so you select the yacht you want & your Barrington-Hall yacht charter broker is comfortable with your crew & knows all the sweet points about your yacht you have your eye on.

STEP # 6: the booking process:

First a hold is placed on the yacht you have selected. The idea of the hold is, so no one books the yacht you have selected to enjoy while you read and sign the agreement, date it and e-mail back to Barrington-Hall. Once this is done from your side, e-mail the signed agreement to us, then mail us the original and your check payment to us, or you can wire the funds to us. We would get your signed agreement the same day and send to the owner for his signature. Owners have 20 days to sign your agreement but normally send back after a few days. I will also let the owner know I have your deposit and he in turn sends us your agreement signed by all parties, it is only then that we send them your deposit, which is contracted to be placed in their escrow account where the owner cannot touch the funds. You can now go ahead and purchase airline seats and do this as soon as possible, the airlines normally raises rates the closer we get to boarding times. It is now that we automatically mail our guests a complimentary package, this package would contain items related to your vacation like a WELCOME MAGAZINE if in the Virgin Islands. This is a fun package and we also send you a 5 page food and bar preference sheet, this is a tick-off program so write what you do not wish to eat and your professional chef will attend to this in detail.

Now when the deposit has been paid to Barrington-Hall and the agreement has been signed by all parties it is time to discuss trip insurance as well as discuss an example itinerary.

STEP # 7 Now for your example itinerary:

EXAMPLE ITINERARY

The more ideas shared with you means you have smarter answers for your captains first question for you—That is “WHERE DO YOU WISH TO GO AND DO?” That question is his first when you are on board, but we are not on board yet. 12-10 days prior to your vacation your captain and chef will call and confirm where to meet them. Your chef does not purchase any cuisine until she has discussed this with you.

At all times your broker is by your side, so call us for any questions no matter how small and give 954-720-0475 to family and friends for emergencies my telephone rings 24 -7.

Greece yacht charters: Our guests are under our umbrella from when they land in Athens until they get home. My agent in Greece personally sets up the limo when you arrive in Athens and you will meet my agent who introduces our guests to their captain and chef team. We do many catamaran trips in Greece but most are Greece power yachts.

USVI Pickup law

New Law Governing Chartering in the Virgin Islands Have Been Changed 2016

This new law : Charter yachts are now allowed to pick up 12 guests in the USVI and transport all, into the BVI.

Brokers, captains and central agents, such as Barrington-Hall are absolutely delighted this old derelict law set round 1984 is now redundant. This law prohibited any commercial charter yacht from picking up more than 6 guests in United States water and traveling across a 1.5 mile section into the British Virgin Islands. Over the years it cause many irritating issues, that is now gone.

TODAY groups of 12 guests can be picked up in St Thomas United States Virgin Islands, by a sailing yacht, Catamaran, or Power boat and transferred into the wonderful British Virgin Islands. For many many years this has been a huge issue, because airline flights are direct from Miami into St Thomas USVI. The Cyril E. King airport is an international airport, so she can accept the largest airlines. The British Virgin Islands has a small runway, which only accepts small jets, this means guests are forced to do two different sized airlines, when flying into and out of Beef Island Tortola British Virgin Islands. To do this guests had one stop in Puerto Rico (also an international airport) and take a puddle jumper (12-10 passenger plane into the BVI).

There were many different ways to get around this old law, but today we can now pick up 12 guests in US waters and transport 12 guests to the British Virgin Islands.

Catamaran Slivochka 59 foot is a high-end luxury catamaran charter vessel, which sleeps 10 guests, so in 2016 we have been picking up 10 guests in Crown Bay Marina in St Thomas USVI. The guests charter starts Immediately, with Christmas Cove, or Hawksnest Bay a perfect stop for guests first night on board. Slivochka (means my little plumb) is what we term brand spanking new she has walk around queen beds in her cabins, for guests comfort. Slivochka also has the new sky lounge which is a 3 rd section of floor on the roof of the catamaran and it is here where guests sun-tan, or sit next to their captain when cruising between the islands. It is also the sky lounge where guests watch sunsets, with happy hour treats in one hand and their favorite drink in the other. The sky lounge is high in the air. Only the new Caribbean catamarans enjoy these two options. SLIVOCHKA 3 minute VIDEO here: www.bitly.com/svochka set up for yacht charters and excited guests are keen to learn more about Caribbean Catamaran vacations.

A great way to describe a private yacht charter is: Your ultimate experience. Here is your private floating resort, which travels where you wish to go.

When looking to do a super yacht rental, make sure you get the best company to represent you.

All our vessels are fully crewed, which means a minimum of a personal top captain and a personal world-class chef. Slivochka is our top crewed catamaran. Your personal chef will customise your meals specifically for you and your party, no matter what you ask for. Having this 6 passenger rule now superseded means they crew also have less problems picking up split arrivals. Having been doing this since 1990 and being the one and only term catamaran in all of the virgin Islands in those early years means we know when new laws make guests chartering much easier and Barrington-Hall are delighted with this new change. Now when guests aim at BVI catamaran charters, they have a one-way ticket to their boat no matter what it is. We concentrate on BVI yacht charters.

catamaran best revenge - cuisine

Catamaran Best Revenge 5 - World Class Cuisine

Meet Best Revenge 5's Captain Nicholas and Chef Lucy

One of the top 3 chefs in our industry today; Best Revenge 5.

Lucy is the top chef on board the luxury catamaran Best Revenge 5 and she can accommodate almost any international meal request. Lucy certainly can deliver world-class cuisine for the private yacht charter guest, with her Sommelier abilities she will also pair your meal with the perfect wine.

Lucy said

to me “Andrew, I love food! It is a universal language we can all share. I take particular interest in local (Caribbean) produce, and I hand pick every item that goes into my menus - no online orders on the Best Revenge 5; your guests deserve the best".

We have spent many years in the Windward Isles, where small Caribbean markets teach creativity and colorful flavoring! My years in the French West Indies has heavily influenced my cuisine and educated me on what ate the best wine pairings for each meal, from appetizers through to dessert.

I know the value of fresh ingredients and never cut corners incorporating those just-picked pinches of taste into every bite. Any time I have a special need, it is well-researched to be sure it's understood and meals are tailor made. Sauces are also my favorites.”

Catamaran Yacht Charters on Best Revenge 5

A true story from Lucky on board catamaran Best Revenge 5:

“Andrew, we had a wonderful couple as parents taking their kids for first snorkels, getting to take "big" kids on their first snorkels during their private catamaran sailing vacation, yes it was fun.

The parents had given us doubloons, swords, jewelry to hide in one of those famous three pirate caves at Norman Island. best revenge 5

So this huge treasure hunt was on the way for these “big” kids, with pirate’s map in hand, only to find someone had taken our hidden treasure (yes, before the big kids could find it!); so all our treasure was gone.

A quick treasure had to be improvised and we were delighted to have found a trove of wonderful chocolates! This we all laughed about, but it could have been far nicer had we discovered the 'real' treasure. I guess everyone is looking for treasure when taking a fully crewed catamaran charter in the British Virgin Islands.”

On another occasion we had to plan a wedding proposal and this is how it went:

Charter Private Yacht

I was left on board to prepare cuisine for the afternoon lunch and also to hide the new engagement ring. After the table was set, I placed the ring in a half-opened clam shell opposite the lady who was going to be asked for her hand in marriage.

Captain Nick had taken the guests on a guided tour through those 40-foot tall round boulders, first the Cathedral, then along a path with thick undergrowth which opened into that famous Devil’s Bay.

Named Devil’s Bay because in the old days this bay was used at night to bring in all kinds of illegal items and bags of them, but today it is one of the most gorgeous bays in the British Virgin Islands sailing route. Relaxing at the lunch table after their wonderful walk and swim, it was on to the clams and tears flowed. Perhaps we are more focused on those little special things life offers us than comedy.

Life on the sea certainly teaches you not to take yourself too seriously, and laughter is as free-flowing as the captain’s cocktails! When someone is on deck, I always take a little pillow to them for extra comfort.” That is a mark of someone who knows the power of serving their guests correctly.

“As for our lives, it is hard to imagine we were ever anywhere but on the sea. As our true vocation it is so much a part of us, and we see the opportunity to charter as a lifestyle, not a job. In fact, we often feel like we have retired to our very own island and get to share it with other special people, our guests.”

Catamaran Best Revenge 5 sleeps 8 guests in 2 king and 2 queen cabins.

Motor Yacht Freedom - cuisine

Motor Yacht Freedom - 120' luxury power boat - World Class Cuisine

Captain George Custer and Chef Joseph Stiles

Power Yacht Freedom was awarded the best vessel in show 2012. When you see all 78 vessels on show and you walk on board Freedom 120 ft., you know why. Be careful; there are 3 different Freedom BVI yacht charter vessels.

Best vessel on show 2012; this is difficult to do with a large luxury power yacht when half the vessels on show are luxury charter catamarans and mono-hull yachts, so this award is well-accepted.

Freedom Motor Yacht

Chef Joseph Stiles is an award-winning chef who brings to Freedom international experience in kitchens from Italy to the Virgin Islands. “Andrew, pastries and sauces are my best-kept secret. I trained at the acclaimed Western Culinary Institute, a Le Cordon Bleu accredited school in Portland.”

Oh my gosh, his pastries are awesome. Joseph has worked in Italy and St. Croix in local high-end restaurants. He also won the award for Best Entree in the Taste of St. Croix 2010.

Joseph brings his passion for food and wine to the intimate setting of Freedom, where he uses the spectacular Caribbean as his backdrop for his award-winning cuisine. His philosophy, "simple food prepared to perfection is the mother of all foods", is sure to ring true and enhance the dining experience of our guests on board.

For the past 18 years, I have visited Monaco, Genoa, Greece, Antigua and Tortola to learn everything I can at these various mega yacht charter vessels at their annual charter yacht boat shows, and no meal was better than Joseph Stiles’ on board Freedom 120.

Here is a very inexpensive 120-foot luxury private crewed power boat at $68,500 for an all-inclusive yacht charter vacation for 9 guests. The next step up in cost has the same quality crewed power charter yacht, but costs $70,000 plus 35% expenses, bringing that rate to $94,500.

Smart charter guests are going to recognize this value for their dollar, and Motor Yacht Freedom is not likely going to be around for many years to come, so charter this power yacht today. Book for 2014 and 2015 and 2016.

Watch a video of the 120' super yacht below.

If guests book a $300,000 per week charter yacht, the cuisine will not match the Freedom cuisine.

Motor Yacht Viaggio - cuisine

Motor Yacht Viaggio World Class Cuisine

Captain Andrew Woodruff and Chef Lisa Mead

We were served an exclusive “boat-tique' breakfast on board Viaggio, set for 4 special yacht charter brokers, with the captain sitting in to share the happy banter.

Each yacht broker was asked to order whatever they felt they wanted to enjoy for the day. I had Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise sauce. The backdrop was a typical gorgeous day with a vista of coconut palms, blue Caribbean water and a very bright Caribbean sunny morning.

The creamer was very unique and it makes me chuckle even today as I write about it as it was set in glass and looked like a cow’s udder complete with 4 teats. The pictures tell the story; this means you were almost compelled to use the creamer. Note the picture of the chocolate cream puffs; these were magnificently tasty and very light.

The service perfect was provided by 2 charming ladies in uniform, and the chef is the world famous lady by the name of Lisa Mead.

Motor Yacht Viaggio is a top luxury power yacht with chef Lisa Mead and she is one of the private yacht charter industry’s top cuisine queens.

Lisa has enjoyed her own TV cooking show called " Galley Gourmet with Chef Lisa” (galley is the name for kitchen). Lisa is a very charming Australian chef with over 18 years of yacht charter industry experience.

She has cruised the Mediterranean as well as has spent many years in the Caribbean on board various charter yachts, providing epicurean delights for her guests no matter where she is.

Lisa started in restaurants in Australia, ran her own catering business and cooked for royalty, celebrities and heads of state.

“Andrew, what I like to do is find out what the guests on board like to eat and drink during their week on board Viaggio. I will then concentrate on their requests, and at least once I like to serve something I feel will surprise them.

I would love to serve them something they never even dreamed of, a real 'Lisa Surprise'.

I want the guests to have their ultimate yacht charter vacation, and my side is to ensure that their cuisine is perfect. Yes, I make my own bread and source fresh produce. These are essential to success, but it is different sources that make each meal special. Whilst in Asia, I learned to speak conversational Malaysian, Indonesian & Japanese.”

”Power boats such as Viaggio have to fall into the luxury mega yacht category, so that we provide the very best service guests expect. We do strive to make their charter the ultimate experience.”

Greece Yacht Charters - World Class Cuisine

At most annual Greek boat shows, they allow us to take pictures of all the chefs at the show; this is a wonderful Greek tradition. Then at others, it is the individuals that are photographed. We have all the different methods that the Mediterranean private yacht charters provide when it comes to their wonderful cuisine.

Some 70% of these chefs on board are also Sommeliers, so knowing who they are is important for the guests especially if they love fine wine.

The most impact I have noticed over the years in wine in Greece is that many of my clients have shipped back Greek wine to the States, and I can go into detail about that; but none have shipped wines back home from anywhere else.

Greek cuisine

Each year when I plan to go to Greece, I get goose bumps knowing I am about to order a plate of octopus and calamari, because enjoying octopus in Greece is like biting into a soft tasty cloud.

The Greeks just know how to cook octopus and calamari. As visitors to Greece, we are all there to experience the different cuisine, people, and enjoy their different ways of approaching life.

Being on board a private crewed charter yacht simply makes every aspect that much more enjoyable.

I have seen vegetables I have never seen in my 60 years of life. Many fish dishes are provided, like a plate full of one-inch long minnows, and they are so tasty. Then the next dish is 2-inch long minnows, and that is even more tasty. The way their professionals cook food is vastly different from how we do it, and it is so good. The Greek wine is magnificent.

Greeks just do things differently; remember, they are the cradle of civilization.

For their annual boat show cuisine competition, all the chefs have to bring their prepared meals to one table, which you can see by the pictures provided.

Generally there are 5 or 6 judges taken from all aspects and walks of life. The judges first judge each meal by the presentation and setting of the meal.

Once that is done, each judge can taste each individual meal and make notes about the texture, the smoothness, how different flavors have impacted a particular meal.

They are allowed to sip various wines as well. All their scores are tallied and the winner selected, with second place and third place for different settings. The cuisine is a very special part of Greece power yachts as well as the service they offer our guests.

Private Yacht Charter Vacations

Today the top service for all Mediterranean power yachts is Greece, so in the past they followed everyone’s example, but today they lead the world.

Our company concentrates on Greece yacht charters, with our guests being under the Barrington-Hall wing when they land in Athens until they board their airline flight home.

All your crew on a Greek motor yacht charter speak English so there is no language barrier and their cuisine speaks to everyone.
