Talking Private yacht in Bora Bora? (AmEx trip of a lifetime winner, can spend up to $20k)

Hi, all; we're in the process of planning our $20k AmEx "Trip of a Lifetime" trip. If you'd like to catch up on how we ended up selecting Bora Bora and/or what this trip is about, feel free to read the thread at:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...uld-we-go.html

(But long story short: we won a sweepstakes, can go anywhere in the world, we picked Bora Bora and now we have to finalize details so trip completes by 5/16/2012...)

Now that our decision has been made, we are working with a travel agent (they provided her) and asked them to look into both overwater bungalows and private yachts. On the yacht front, they came up with the "Tahiti Twosome Cruise":

It looks OK, but just...OK. Is it our best option? We can't find a better one googling around and travel agent knowledge is limited (this is the only yacht option they came up with).

If it were you, would you take this or a week at the Four Seasons or St. Regis? They're about the same price. Or some other, nicer yacht? We've never been on a yacht so we're kind of groping in the dark here. Help!

Regards,
Katherine
