Exotica Charters Announces Availability of New Yacht Charter Locations Following Wide Adoption and Innovative Use of Latest Water Maker Technology

Exotica Charters is a premier yacht charter company owned by DMA Yachting, a renowned international yacht charter group focusing on charters in exotic locations. New areas have become available due to total adoption and leveraging of a new technology. 

As one of the leading US yacht charter companies, myBVIcharter has announced the addition new destinations to its travel itineraries.

The company has a robust fleet of catamarans and motor yachts in the British Virgin Islands. Their classic weekly itinerary sees all the yachts depart on Saturday in a counterclockwise direction towards Virgin Gorda and Anegada.

The latest addition is driven by a new technology called the Water Maker. This relatively new invention is shifting how the charters are done. It enables the clients to get a pickup outside of the marinas, often on a remote Greek island or an isolated Cay in the Bahamas.

The most dramatic effect is in Greece, where a host of new areas is opening. Specifically, Dodecanese and Sporades are opening up, along with more Ionian charters where no marinas were available or limited space once prevented charters from operating.

In the Bahamas, since this is a massive are, the new technology is allowing charters to start anywhere, giving the company more freedom and flexibility.

"We've got quite a few boats in Ionian now, an increasing number in the Dodecanese off the coast of Turkey, and finally some yachts in the Sporades, the Mamma Mia islands," the company spokesperson stated.

The company adds that the distances in the BVI are not as pronounced and the itinerary including the Sunset Loop is fairly fixed, but some of the crewed yachts are changing the pickup to give the clients a head start of a day or two on the mass of the yachts leaving Nanny Cay on Saturday afternoon to start their seven-day charters.

"We're offering new boats arriving to the BVI fleet in the 2024 winter season on myBVIcharter. The effect in the Bahamas is very significant, as only a handful of marinas, notably Nassau, handles the 700+ islands and 2400 cays," the spokesperson added.

In connection with an increasing offer of flights from Florida to the individual smaller islands, even larger yachts can pick up in more remote locations. Apart from the Abacos, customers can now get a pickup in Inagua, Eleuthera, or Long Island.

In Greece, the effect is twofold as explained by Mo, the Charter Guru at myGreekcharter. There are new ways to discover classic locations. Since the first yachts started allowing Santorini pickup/dropoff, other yachts chose to follow suit. Santorini does not have a marina, and the pickup with a tender was a game changer. The amount of water needed for 15 people made daily stocking impractical and the yachts chose to start and finish in Athens.

Daniel, the owner of DMA Yachting, explained: ”We’re seeing first 3-4 crewed yachts permanently stationed in the Sporades and 8-10 yachts in the Dodecanese. Previously, you had to charter from Athens and ideally take a 2-week charter. This is no longer the case - you can start almost anywhere.”

The situation with the motor yacht Bahamas is similar. The previously Nassau-centric model, where all yachts started in Nassau and went for a weekly “milk run” charter to the Exumas, is challenged. “People don’t want to charter in the same spot twice”, explains Mo. “With 2,400 Cays, why not start in Eleuthera or even Long Island? And if the charterer wants to start in Staniel Cay, why get there from Nassau? Start the charter there!”

The water maker is not a new technology. It’s been around for a long time. It’s the innovative use, wide adoption, and necessity to spend less or no time in the marina that made the yachts offered by myBVIcharter behave differently.

Exotica Charters, a yacht charter specialist in emerging and remote locations owned by DMA Yachting, has also observed increasing deployment of water makers in its fleet. “We’re suddenly able to create completely new itineraries, as we can do a route ABCD instead of A to A. You can get picked up in B and dropped off at C a week later. We’re seeing multiweek charters covering huge distances, especially in the Med: Sardina/Corsica, France to Italy to Malta, Ionian to Turkey in Greece.”
