142' PALMER JOHNSON LUXURY CHARTER YACHT

Luxury Yacht Charter

Charter Testimonial - Beyond All Expectations

Onboard Lady J, we strive to pamper our guests and we take pride in making each charter experience special and unforgettable. The following testimonial was shared by a charter group who eloquently detail how their vacation onboard was unparalleled. 

"The trip was quite simply wonderful. Amazing would be an understatement. Sometimes in life you just get lucky, by choosing LadyJ, my goodness did we get lucky. 

I was surprised to hear that many folks chartering exclude yachts over 20 years old. That would seem foolish as they would miss the opportunity to stay on the most delightful, comfortable, well-appointed, luxurious pleasure craft.  From the size & comfort of the beds through to the choice of furnishings, it really felt like home-away-from-home. The toys and entertainment options were fantastic, but it was how they were presented, that made our experience on Lady unique.

Lady J’s difference is the team onboard. The staff were second-to none! We wanted for nothing, there was always someone discretely close by and pre-empting our requests; the beach set-up, the toys at the ready, the fishing, the cocktails, and more. The crew's desire to serve and exceed expectations was five-stars, well beyond what I have ever experienced. 

I have been in retail and hospitality all my life and I would be very proud if Jarryd and the Lady J staff were one of my teams. Within moments of our arrival they created empathy and established a great relationship with all our group, ensuring they could deliver great service from the get-go. Anthony, our Chef, prepared meals that were just so delicious we felt like constantly indulging in his fabulous creations. 

At the closing of our trip we were presented with a short personalized film and set of photos as a memory of our time onboard which was a fantastic enhancement and a lovely way to say farewell. 

To all the staff on LadyJ, we are so grateful to you for taking such great care of us. There is nothing that could have been improved! Lady J's owners have carefully prepared Lady J to be an outstanding charter yacht with an excellent crew whose joy and great vibes make guests’ time onboard absolutely incredible."

Staying in shape while enjoying a luxury yacht charter vacation is essential especially when the charter includes indulging in the Chef’s magic in the galley. Following are some fun and healthy activities that guests recently enjoyed while cruising the coast of Maine onboard 142' Palmer Johnson Lady J: 

  1. Treadmill Workout: Watching the sun rise while working out on the treadmill, completely enveloped by tranquility in an uninhabited bay, surrounded by porpoises and seals is a magical way to start the day. There is a TV on the sun deck if you would like to stay in touch with world news, or you can plug in your iPod into the treadmill port or sun deck surround sound. You can also choose to chat to your friend on the neighboring treadmill.

  2. Waterski: Organize it with the crew so that tender will take you out. Did you know that waterskiing can burn up to 200 cals per 30 mins?

  3. Kayaking: Discover the hidden corners of Penobscot Bay in Maine. Kayaking is great for cardio as well as muscle toning. Average 170 calories per 30 minutes.

  4. Snorkeling: while relaxing and peaceful, snorkeling is a great way to stay active while on board.

  5. Paddle Boarding: An excellent exercise for core training.

  6. Hiking: Explore the nature trails in each port that you visit. Hiking burns 200 calories per 30 minutes.

  7. Lady J Boot Camp: A crew member will whip you into shape with his fun filled pre-breakfast cardio workout on the sundeck!

  8. Mountain Biking: Lady J carries 5 mountain bikes for charter guests to explore the islands. The Captain suggested the extremely scenic coastal road from Camden to Rockport, Maine. Average 300 calories per 30 minutes.

  9. Swimming: The great thing about a yacht charter is you’ll always have beautiful waters surrounding you. Swimming at a moderate pace burns 200 calories per half hour.

  10. Deck Climbing: Just climbing up and down the three flights of stairs from your cabin to the main deck—to the bridge deck—to the sun deck is a workout in itself! Climbing stairs burns 275 calories per 30 minutes!

After all this hard work and activity, a dip in the on-deck jacuzzi is the best way to relax and refresh in style, with a rum punch in hand. All calories burned estimates are approximates based on 150lb person. These may vary from person to person.
