How To Hop Gallery

I saw about 300 charter yachts in 2007. Most of them I toured at boat shows at a pace of at least ten yachts a day. My stack of collected brochures from last year alone is more than three-feet tall.

Milk and Honey’s captain and stewardesses get into the spirit.

Charter brokers Diane Fraser (left) and Patricia Saks from Fraser Yachts Worldwide enjoy the festivities – which they’ll later describe to potential clients.

Balaju also brought in a massage therapist to help soothe brokers before they headed back to the louder parties onboard other boats.
