Taking a Caribbean vacation when COVID is still a concern requires extra planning, care, and preparation, but it can be done — spectacularly.
Safe Cruising During Covid
Here on Namaste, we have developed a plan that we believe delivers a truly luxurious experience that minimizes risks to guests and crew alike without minimizing adventure.
During last charter season we chose to cruise in and around Antigua. Staying in a single country, we reduced the risk of plans being disrupted by travel policy changes. By taking normal precautions when off the boat (e.g., wearing face masks and washing hands), risks were minimal and contained. As we look ahead to the ’21-’22 Caribbean charter season, more islands will be open and we look forward to returning to them. The health and safety of our guests and crew is our primary concern and we continue to take virus precautions very seriously.
To offer additional peace of mind, Namaste has contracted with MedAire, one of the most respected medical assistance providers in the world. Their doctors are on call 24/7/365. In the unlikely event medical care is needed, or recommended, MedAire will give us access to the best provider in the area.
Both you and the crew will be tested prior to cruising based on current island guidelines, and with everyone observing on-island discipline, we can operate on board with a well-founded assumption that you and the crew are COVID-free. Namaste can be your safe haven to eat, sleep, and enjoy yourself in the warm, crystal-clear Caribbean waters. Masks are not required on board.
Namaste is equipped better than a luxury resort. We offer sea scooters, pedal kayaks, as well as everything you need for scuba, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. Furthermore, the captain has spent seven years cruising around the Caribbean, so he has a wealth of local knowledge to help guide your adventures.
Namaste’s unique onboard spa experiences offer true journeys into relaxed bliss. Namaste is equipped with a Jacuzzi, a steam room, and exercise equipment. Why go ashore for a treatment when you can do everything on board?
Yes, these are unprecedented times. Fortunately, when you board a private yacht that takes COVID risks seriously, your much-needed getaway is still possible—and safe. With Namaste, you don’t have to delay your next adventure any longer.
