Sailing Yacht Scorpio is a fantastic yacht to charter. She is a fast sailing yacht, yet her spacious accommodation and high levels of equipment make for luxurious living. Built in 1996 at the Fred Shultz Yard in Cape Town, South Africa, Scorpio is a Sovereign 51 designed by Phil Southwell. She accommodates 3 guests in 2 aft cabins, both are extremely well ventilated by a large ceiling hatch to funnel breeze plus opening ports on 3 sides. The larger Guest Double Cabin has a queen sized bed and en-suite bathroom. Guests using the adjacent Single Cabin can share the double cabin facilities or those of the crew off the Saloon. The Saloon is spacious and comfortable. On deck a separate helmsman’s cockpit aft leaves a spacious centre cockpit with table for al fresco dining which offers guests ample space to relax. Scorpio is also fully equipped for scuba diving for certified divers. She is in the Caribbean- Based in Grenadines, West Indies – Summer May-01-2011 – Dec-14-2011 6,400 USD Week 3 (ex fine-wine / glic/fees/tx / comm / dock / +A/C: $30/nt).
Don’t forget SCORPIO is available for charter throughout the Windward and Leeward islands during the winter season – this, of course included the Virgin Islands and theGrenadines. If you are unsure about our availability getting from one location to another, the rule of thumb is to allow us 1 week turn-round between the VI’s and the Grenadines (or vice versa) – We are able to do 24hr turn-rounds for consecutive charters in the same location – if you are in any doubt talk to Dick at CharterPort or contact us direct at this e-mail address.
Of course we still offer scuba diving inclusive in our rates.
