Highlights from the 2012 Charter Yacht Show in the British Virgin Islands
The annual charter yacht show, in the British Virgin Islands, is a meeting ground for world-wide professional charter yacht brokers and the luxury yachts which are available for charter in the British Virgin Islands.
The highlight of the show was the themed cocktail party. Each yacht chose a country to represent - Akasha went French this year! Captain Harvey hosted an Absinthe Bar, Kim & CJ kept the champagne cocktails flowing, and Chef Cara put on a beautiful patisserie table featuring red white & blue macaroons, and the most amazing white & dark, chocolate ganache lollipops!
Akasha's crew had much admiration for their french sailor's outfits.
Akasha's crew excel at themed evenings, and love to arrange special parties & events for your charter, from 70's Disco nights to children's pirate themes, contact us now to discuss ideas!
