Fancy a Holiday on One of “The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals”? Step Aboard Angeleyes
Netflix is much more than the source of all your favourite shows and movies. One might say it has become a bit of a trendsetter too. Original series such as Tidying Up with Marie Kondo encourage people to let go of anything that doesn’t bring them joy; Tiny House Nation helps people make the move from a stationary McMansion to a tiny home on wheels; and The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals points viewers towards unique holidays. In other words, Netflix is opening the world up to entirely new concepts designed to improve our quality of life. Or, in the case of the latter, our holidays.
What’s particularly attractive about all the series mentioned above is the fact that, these things and strategies offer us a new sense of freedom. It urges us to declutter literally and metaphorically, and to re-examine our lives and what is genuinely important to us. Ultimately, it all boils down to one thing: experiences. Unforgettable experiences you, your friends and your family will fondly look back on for years to come. Day trips and activities enjoyed together, the kind that will always find their way back into the conversation around the annual Christmas table.
A Luxury Chartered Yacht Holiday: “Go anywhere you like, whenever you want”
Any type of holiday can give us that light and carefree feeling we all crave after a years’ worth of hard work running the office or managing the household. There’s no need to travel far. Sometimes, just hopping into the car and hitting the road for a couple of hours just to spend the day breathing in a change of scenery can be just what the doctor ordered.
But what if you could take that road-tripping everything-is-possible, nothing-is-tying-me-down vibe to the next level? What if you could take it out onto the sea by ways of a luxury chartered yacht holiday? Tune into Netflix’s The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals, and you’ll see that it’s possible aboard Seaduction’s Angeleyes.
As the series’ host and licensed real estate salesperson, Luis D. Ortiz rightly notes, the Angeleyes is “a beautiful masterpiece of a yacht” that comes with “a crew making sure that you eat well and that you have the time of your life every single minute of your stay. The entire lifestyle is going to change your world.” Ortiz who has been on his fair share of yachts, is quick to point out that this 85 foot luxury yacht feels a lot more spacious than others he has vacationed on before, and that’s all down to the clever design.
“It's built wider and taller than your average yacht so there's plenty of room to spread out. It has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and it can sleep up to ten people,” Ortiz explains. Best of all? It gives you the freedom to “go anywhere you like, whenever you want”. St. Vincent to Grenada? You got it.
Celebrity Life 101 – “Exceptional Service During Your Stay”
With a full outdoor bar, seating for ten and a crew that is ready to make your every wish come true aboard the Angeleyes, you can count on exceptional service during your stay. Jo Franco, the multilingual storyteller and “travel chick” on the Netflix show, wasn’t wrong when she said, “this is like the celebrity life 101”. What else could you possibly compare it to, when the crew of your floating vacation home surprises you with their very own cocktail concoction, Sunset Dream, just when you felt the craving for a fancy drink arise?
It’s almost as though Chef Jenn Hart and Stewardess Jenny Gulland know exactly what it is you need before you’ve even figured it out! Add to that the knowledgeable Captain Darrel Hearne and First Mate Remi Leclezio, who know just where to take you for a surprise trip to a deserted island, and you’ve got yourself the holiday version of an MTV Cribs episode.
While the celebrities on MTV’s Cribs love to boast about “the magic” happening in the bedroom, aboard the Angeleyes, the real magic happens in the kitchen. Yes, it may look like a kitchen straight out of a Tiny House Nation episode, but you’ll be surprised at what Chef Jenn Hart can create in such a small but functional and impeccably designed space.
She will make your wildest gourmet fantasies come true, and caters to any diets and food sensitivities that may be present at the table. And once the sun sets and you’re ready to kick back in the jacuzzi with a killer Caribbean view, the crew will be more than happy to whip you up another cocktail to complement the moment.
Built-in Closets, Spa-Style En-Suite Bathrooms & 70 Gallons of Freshwater
The Angeleyes is designed to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible, leaving you with nothing to be desired – other than, perhaps, another Sunset Dream. The living room area, with its floor to ceiling windows, brings the stunning exterior into the interior as a constant reminder of the fact that you are living the Caribbean dream.
As we’ve already mentioned, this yacht is wider than the usual models, with most 85 feet yachts measuring between 15 and 18 feet wide. The Angeleyes on the other hand, is 23 feet wide, which allows for “a lot of liberty when it comes to designing the space,” Luis explains.
The main state room is spacious with a lot of clever, space-saving built-in features, ensuring all your belongings can be neatly tucked away, giving you peace of mind during your stay. This also allows for bookmarked marble, spa-style bathrooms and shower cabins big enough to fit two people. And, best of all? The extra footage means the yacht maintains better stability –also aided by stabilizers – so those prone to sea sickness need not worry about feeling off. You’ll be walking this yacht with sea legs at all times!
“This is the Vacation People Dream Of” – Moving Meditation Aboard a Luxury Chartered Yacht
Yes, there’s something exciting about roaming strange cities and throwing yourself into the hustle and bustle of big-city-life, crowded streets and packed cafés and restaurants. But there is truly something mesmerizing about escaping it all by inviting your closest friends and/or family onto a beautiful yacht and heading out into Caribbean sea. It’s almost as though you are completely disconnecting from the real world and creating your own little bubble in which you are free to do whatever you please.
It’s a sort of moving meditation – the further you sail out into the sea, the deeper your inhalations and exhalations, the more profound your connection with those around you, the greater the gratitude for all it is you’re seeing, living and feeling during each and every moment of your vacation. This really is the vacation people dream of, and after the first time jumping off the yacht and into the crystal blue sea – the “Caribbean baptism” – you will emerge refreshed and recharged.
Sea-Tripping, Gourmet Picnics & Sunsets Awe-Inspiring Enough to Leave You Teary-Eyed
Imagine you have just spent a week or two on one of The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals – namely, the luxury chartered yacht, Angeleyes – with all your best people on board. You spent your mornings fuelling up on gourmet breakfasts and refreshing dips in the sea, your mid-day lounging around soaking up the sunrays on the top deck, and the afternoons taking full advantage of all the water sport activities on offer.
Perhaps you ventured out for a full exploration of the Spanish Virgin Islands - Puerto Rico, Culebra and St. Croix, for example – or through the Bahamas. Then, just as your holiday comes to an end, you decide it’s time for one last outing, one last photo-op to capture an unforgettable getaway. You can rest assured that the Angeleyes crew will know just where to take you.
In the case of Netflix’s Luis, Jo and Megan Batoon, the Captain decided to take them out to Tintamarre Island for their last holiday fix. The crew set up an incredible picnic spread, plenty of sunscreen options, towels and snorkelling gear – a must, considering this deserted island is known for its sea turtles and varied marine life.
It really is no wonder that, when Luis found himself faced with the last sunset in this unique vacation setting, he was moved to tears. Don’t be surprised if you are too – a holiday on a chartered yacht, sea-tripping and island-hopping, filling up on expertly prepared food and sipping on cocktails while the sun sets, is a lesson in gratitude and quality of life. And you deserve it.
