Create Your Own Ocean Adventure for Less
New book shows travel enthusiasts how to create a budget-friendly charter yacht vacation
New York, NY, February 14, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The pictures are plastered all over the glossy tabloids: rich celebrities vacationing on their private yachts, sipping champagne and catching the sun’s rays. Unfortunately, in today’s struggling economy, these types of vacations seem simply out of reach. Or are they?
The truth is that anyone can afford a luxury charter yacht vacation. Dream Cruises: The Insider's Guide to Private Yacht Charter Vacations, the new book by travel and yachting expert Kim Kavin, shows just how easy it can be to book a private yacht without getting ripped off.
In Dream Cruises, Kavin shares her years of yachting experience to give readers the know-how to creating an affordable and truly personalized vacation. Kavin gives readers the inside scoop on:
• Locating a reputable charter yacht broker
• Booking a yacht any time of the year
• Avoiding travel agency bureaucracy and the crowded traditional cruise money trap
Kavin’s years of experience in the boating and yachting industry all come into play in Dream Cruises. “This is the first book to explain crewed charter options in layman’s terms that anyone can understand.”
“After reading Dream Cruises, anyone can vacation like a celebrity, no matter the budget,” Kavin said.
