Watch the Caribbean Sailing Regattas in style aboard VOLTERRA

Charter yacht VOLTERRA, an 80-foot classic Palmer Johnson sloop, provides an excellent platform for watching the Caribbean Spring Regattas.

 Charter Yacht Volterra - Crewed Caribbean Yacht Charters, Sailing Vacations

Here's some possibilities for the 2011 Caribbean sailboat racing season:
March 4-8|  Martinique|  Semaine Nautique
March 4-6|  St. Maarten|  Heineken Regatta
March 4-7|  Tortola|  Dark & Stormy
March 5-7|  Martinique|  Carnival Regatta
March 24-27|  St. Barths|  St. Barths Bucket
March 28-April 3  |  Tortola|  BVI Spring Regatta
April 4-9|  St. Barths|  Voiles de St Barths *
April 14-19|  Antigua|  Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta *
Volterra - Heineken Regatta 2009

Most yachts are available for charter during the various races and regattas as solely spectator boats (what better way to view the race than from a beautiful yacht while being pampered with fine food and spirits?) as the owners do not want the wear and tear that racing demands on their yacht.

That said, Volterra will consider a racing charter for the Voiles de St. Barths, and the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta... inquire !

VOLTERRA, an 80-foot classic Palmer Johnson sloop, was designed to circumnavigate the world safely in comfort and style. While she has indeed traced her stern wake around the globe, she has also distinguished herself on the race course in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic; Volterra finished first in the 1997 Transatlantic Challenge Race.


Designed by German Frers and John Alden, she is endowed with fast, classically  elegant lines, built by Palmer Johnson and solid cherry wood interior by John Munford.  She's a beauty!

Twin Guest Cabin

Volterra has a crew of three and accommodates up to six guests in three cabins. There are port and starboard guest cabins, each with two single beds and adjoining bathrooms with showers. Two additional bunks are provided in the main salon, enclosed by a privacy curtain. The owners cabin located midships offers two beds, one extends to a full queen sized bed. The owner's cabin also offers a comfortable settee with a fold down work desk and a well-appointed bathroom with shower stall.


Her large cockpit offers ample elbow room to an active racing crew as well as comfortable accommodations to owner and guests for a romantic dinner in the moonlight. 

RATES: Winter 2011
  • $20,000/wk plus expenses for up to 6 guests; or
  • $21,600/wk for 4 guests & $22,000/wk for 6 guests; all inclusive, except bar, dockage...
Volterra is currently available for charter after February 26th.

Classic Yacht + Charming Crew + Scrumptious Cuisine = Succesful Charter!
