Need help finding website or liveaboards available for 100% private charter.

[evilclown]

I'm trying to charter an entire boat for my family and I.
Any suggestions on websites where i can find listings or specific boats that would be available.
i'm open to locations (pacific - caribbean - red sea)
i'd like something modern and comfortable.
budget is not an issue.
thanks.

You want a yacht, not a liveaboard. Fully staffed with dive gear, compressor, and dive staff. About $25,000 per week for a smaller (80 or so feet), and $125,000/week for the real deal. Look on Luxury yacht charter - motor yacht boat vacations and crewed sailing yachts in the Mediterranean, Caribbean & worldwide., Luxury Crewed Yacht Charters - Caribbean, Mediterranean, Bahamas, Croatia, Greece, Worldwide, or Yacht Charter - eYachtCharter.com. Or google yacht charter like I did.

Try the Cuan Law. It's a 105 foot trimaran. We spent a week on her in February, and it was incredible. I know they will rent out the entire boat. Here's their web site: Luxury Sailing in the British Virgin Islands

Or for slightly more $$ this is Greg Norman's previous yacht: http://www.charterworld.com/index.h...&charter=nomad-ex-floridian--aussie-rules-996

I haven't been on it, and I don't know what your budget is or how much you demand, but the Cat Ppalu boat is chartered in groups. At least that'll show you a rate and you can get a sense of what the trip will cost you.

How many people are we talking about? We did a crewed sailboat charter in the BVI a couple of years ago with eight -- four couples -- and the boat had a compressor and dive gear on board. It was very comfortable, and all such trips we have taken have included fantastic food and a well-stocked liquor cabinet.

If you're talking about significantly more people, I can tell you we had an incredible time diving off the MV Tala in the Red Sea. It's a comfortable, although not extraordinarily elegant boat, but the facilities for diving simply could not be better, and the staff knows how to extract every last drop of fun from every single day on board.

Can't help you with a listing website, but...

Putiraja Liveaboard in exotic Raja Ampat is available for full charter. In fact, we take groups all the time whether they're leisure or scientific oriented.
Check out the link on my signature. Let me know if you have any question.

We charter out of the British Virgin Islands every year with Horizon Yacht Charters Yacht Charter Vacations from Horizon Yacht Charters They have an option for crewed or un-crewed boats and you can customize the provisioning to fit your needs. Not sure how many are in your group but we manage to put 8 divers on a Lagoon 44ft cat with plenty of room. Very easy to get gear setup on the boat for diving or have any of the LDS's pick you up from your boat and take you on a guided dive. We usually do a combination of dives from the charter boat and dives with the some of the LDS's.
