If ever a couple was built for the close-quarters intimacy of full-time cruising, it’s Kevin and Elizabeth King. These Leopard 50 owners have walked through life side-by-side since infancy. “Elizabeth and I met in church in Fort Smith, Arkansas, when we were about two-years-old,” says Kevin. “Our families were close. We went to church together, and our fathers eventually became business partners. Elizabeth and I even have the same birthday - day, month and year.”

After attending the University of Arkansas and working for their families’ telecom company, the energetic, ambitious couple decided to go into business for themselves. They did so in their usual way, together and full throttle. “In 2005, we decided to start our own real estate brokerage,” says Kevin. “It took off like mad. With Elizabeth's marketing skills and my sales and recruiting experience, everything just exploded. We became the number one volume real estate office in our region in just our third year.”

Of course, that success came at a price. As much as they loved their work, Kevin and Elizabeth knew they needed both a way to occasionally escape the demands of entrepreneurship and a plan for their long-term future, i.e., retirement. As it turns out, there was a one-word answer for both: Sailing. “Elizabeth came up with an idea to go sailing,” says Kevin. She found a crewed charter in the BVI, and we went and absolutely loved it.” Loved it a lot.

Kevin, who never goes along for the ride, spent much of that first cruise learning the basics of sailing from the crew. Over the next three years, the Kings immersed themselves in their new passion. They took ASA courses and went on more cruises. Kevin even volunteered to crew on passages up and down the East Coast. The couple was pleasantly surprised by the welcome and support they received from their fellow cruisers. “The sailing community is made up of a lot of good, caring people,” says Kevin. “They're like-minded. They enjoy sailing, obviously, but they also enjoy the sense of community and helping others. It’s amazing how quickly you can make friends even during a pandemic.”

In 2019, the Kings put their seamanship to a life-changing test. They successfully crossed the Atlantic via the Azores with their three kids on a friend’s Leopard 45. The trip sealed their decision to go full-time and validated their 2018 decision to purchase a Leopard 50. Kevin and Elizabeth took delivery of their 50 earlier this year and say it checks every box on their design and performance list. “We liked the Leopard a lot because of the forward hatch and the forward seating area,” says Kevin. “We love the flybridge, too. The heavy displacement is important to us. The boat is solid, like a tank. We've been in some pretty high winds being offshore, and it handles great. We've never felt unsafe with the Leopard. Taking the option of the larger engine was a good call. We use that added power a lot coming in and out of some inlets in Florida.”

The Kings’ Leopard, Southern Charm, is now pretty much home for Kevin, Elizabeth and their daughter, who is finishing up high school remotely from the Leopard’s lounge area. While the couple must occasionally spend time in Fort Smith as they wrap up the sale of their business, they hurry back to Southern Charm as soon as possible. The COVID pandemic has had a mixed impact on the King’s new-boat experience. On the downside, the couple was forced to cancel a planned maiden cruise to the Bahamas, a cruise to Acadia National Park in Maine, and visits by friends and family. But the corona-caused acceptance of remote meeting options reduced the need for those trips back to Arkansas.

Once the all-clear sounds, the Kings would like to explore the Bahamas and circumnavigate the world. Closer in, they look forward to introducing their friends and family to Southern Charm and the world of sailing. “Fort Smith is a border town with the Arkansas River wrapping around half of it, “ says Kevin. “We have lakes all around the city, so lots of our friends grew up skiing and wakeboarding and all that kind of stuff, but nobody's really been on a big sailboat.” The couple also plans to offer crewed cruises on Southern Charm. Kevin says they might do ten or fifteen cruises a year, “just enough to cover some of our cruising costs.” And scratch their entrepreneurial itch, no doubt.

When exactly all this might happen is still up in the air, given the continued health concerns. And that’s fine with the Kings. “We've kind of quit planning with COVID,” says Elizabeth. “We have a general idea of what we're going to do, and then we're just pretty loosey-goosey from there.” Adds Kevin: “We were on a treadmill with work for a long time. We want to spend some quality time enjoying the slow route. Not hurrying on an agenda to get anywhere, but enjoying the places we visit and taking the time to meet locals and enjoy the local food, and get to know people a little bit instead of hurrying to get the next spot.”

One thing is certain, even in these crazy times. Whatever the future holds for Kevin and Elizabeth, they’ll experience it hand-in-hand.

DISTRIBUCIÓN DEL YATE VER- CERRAR

Preguntas y respuestas

¿Cómo funciona el contrato de chárter?

El contrato se firma directamente entre el Armador y el Cliente, con el apoyo del bróker. Normalmente se basa en el modelo contractual internacional MYBA, diseñado para garantizar una protección clara y equilibrada para ambas partes.
También está prevista la figura del Stakeholder, responsable de custodiar los fondos de forma segura hasta la finalización del chárter.

¿Qué incluye la tarifa de chárter?

La tarifa base incluye el alquiler del yate, el uso del equipamiento a bordo, la presencia de la tripulación y la correspondiente cobertura de seguro.
Quedan excluidos los gastos operativos como combustible, provisiones, tasas de puerto, bebidas y actividades adicionales, que se gestionan a través del APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance).

La lista exacta de lo que está incluido o no será confirmada en el momento de seleccionar el yate.

¿Qué es el APA y cómo funciona?

El APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) es un fondo anticipado, normalmente equivalente al 25–35% del precio del chárter, destinado a cubrir los gastos operativos: combustible, provisiones, tasas de puerto, actividades de pago, bebidas y solicitudes personalizadas de los huéspedes.

Al finalizar la travesía, el Capitán entrega un informe detallado de los gastos. Los importes no utilizados se reembolsan al cliente, mientras que cualquier exceso se liquida al cierre del chárter.

¿Cuáles son las condiciones de pago?

Al firmar el contrato se requiere un pago del 50% del importe total.
El saldo — que incluye el APA, impuestos y posibles cargos adicionales — suele solicitarse aproximadamente cinco semanas antes del embarque (según el armador).
Los pagos se realizan mediante transferencia bancaria, el método estándar en el sector del chárter de lujo.

¿Puedo cancelar una reserva?

Sí, es posible cancelar, pero se aplican las condiciones previstas en el contrato.
En general, si el cliente renuncia, el Armador retiene los depósitos ya abonados.

Si la embarcación se vuelve a alquilar para el mismo período, el Armador reembolsa la cantidad recuperada, descontando las comisiones correspondientes.

Cada solicitud de cancelación se gestiona con la máxima transparencia.
Más detalles sobre las políticas aplicadas están disponibles contactándonos directamente.

¿Cómo elegir el yate más adecuado para mis necesidades?

La elección depende principalmente del tipo de experiencia que deseas vivir:

  • Yate a motor para el máximo confort, gran estabilidad y traslados rápidos.

  • Velero para una experiencia auténtica, silenciosa y ligada a la tradición de la navegación.

  • Catamarán para amplios espacios, mayor estabilidad y más privacidad.

BeBlue analiza el destino, el número de huéspedes, las preferencias personales y el presupuesto para seleccionar la opción más adecuada para ti.

¿Con cuánta antelación se recomienda reservar?

Para la temporada alta (Mediterráneo: junio–septiembre; Caribe: diciembre–abril), se recomienda reservar con varios meses de antelación para garantizar las mejores opciones disponibles.
También gestionamos solicitudes de última hora, siempre que la disponibilidad y los requisitos de licencia lo permitan.

¿Es posible personalizar el menú, las preferencias y las actividades?

Por supuesto. Antes de la salida recibirás un Preference Sheet, en el que podrás indicar tus gustos, necesidades alimentarias, alergias, preferencias de bebidas y las actividades que deseas realizar.
El Chef y el Capitán utilizarán esta información para crear una experiencia completamente a medida.

¿Cuántas personas pueden alojarse a bordo?

La mayoría de las embarcaciones puede albergar entre 6 y 12 huéspedes, según su configuración interior.
Algunos superyates de más de 80 metros, conformes a las certificaciones internacionales, pueden alojar hasta 36 personas.

¿Tendré conexión a Internet durante el chárter?

La mayoría de las embarcaciones ofrece Wi-Fi a bordo, a través de redes móviles o sistemas satelitales. La calidad y la velocidad del servicio pueden variar según la zona de navegación y la tecnología instalada.

¿Está prevista una propina para la tripulación?

La propina no es obligatoria, pero es una práctica habitual para expresar agradecimiento por el trabajo de la tripulación.
Las directrices internacionales toman como referencia un importe equivalente al 10–15% de la tarifa base del chárter.
