If you do this, at least get their 17m boat, but that is out of your price range. In general a first trip on a yacht is best done overnight -- at anchor -- and then build up from their, for an enjoyable vacation!
Correct, we aren't boat people (meaning, we have no substantial experience on boats)...our thinking was just, what can we do that's "once in a lifetime," unique, something we could never otherwise afford?
The food didn't even occur to me but you're probably right. After reviewing the itinerary, the main thing we thought is, we can do all those things and more with the Four Seasons or the St. Regis as our base.
I just didn't want to pass up a unique opportunity...if lots of "boat people" said "that looks amazing!" then I'd start to feel differently. That does not seem to be the case....
