L'EQUIPAGGIO VEDI- CHIUDI

Elizabeth King
Chef/mate

Nato a: 1972
Nazione: USA

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.

LAYOUT DI BORDO VEDI- CHIUDI

Domande & risposte

Come funziona il contratto di charter?

Il contratto viene stipulato direttamente tra l’Armatore e il Cliente, con il supporto del broker. Si basa normalmente sul modello contrattuale internazionale MYBA, concepito per garantire tutele chiare e bilanciate a entrambe le parti.

È inoltre prevista la figura dello Stakeholder, responsabile della custodia sicura dei fondi fino alla conclusione del charter.

Cosa è incluso nella tariffa del charter?

La tariffa base comprende il noleggio dell’imbarcazione, l’utilizzo delle dotazioni di bordo, la presenza dell’equipaggio e la relativa copertura assicurativa.
Restano escluse le spese operative come carburante, cambusa, porti, bevande e attività aggiuntive, che vengono gestite tramite APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance).

L’elenco preciso di ciò che è incluso o escluso sarà confermato al momento della selezione dello yacht.

Cos’è l’APA e come funziona?

L’APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) è un fondo anticipato, di norma pari al 25–35% del canone di charter, destinato alla copertura delle spese operative: carburante, provisioning, porti, attività a pagamento, bevande e richieste personalizzate degli ospiti.

Al termine della crociera, il Comandante fornisce un rendiconto dettagliato delle uscite. Eventuali importi non utilizzati vengono rimborsati al cliente, mentre eventuali eccedenze vengono regolate direttamente al momento della chiusura del charter.

Quali sono le modalità di pagamento?

Alla firma del contratto è previsto il versamento del 50% dell’importo totale.
Il saldo, comprensivo di APA, tasse e eventuali oneri aggiuntivi, viene richiesto circa cinque settimane prima dell’imbarco. (a seconda dell'armatore)
I pagamenti vengono effettuati tramite bonifico bancario, che rappresenta lo standard operativo nel settore del charter di lusso.

Posso annullare una prenotazione?

Sì, è possibile cancellare, ma si applicano le clausole previste dal contratto.
In linea generale, in caso di rinuncia da parte del cliente, l’Armatore trattiene i depositi già versati.

Qualora l’imbarcazione venga riaffittata per lo stesso periodo, l’Armatore rimborsa l’importo recuperato, al netto delle relative commissioni.

Ogni richiesta di cancellazione viene gestita con la massima trasparenza. Ulteriori dettagli sulle politiche applicate sono disponibili contattandoci direttamente.

Come individuare lo yacht più adatto alle mie esigenze?

La scelta dipende principalmente dal tipo di esperienza che desideri vivere:

  • Motor yacht per il massimo comfort, grande stabilità e trasferimenti rapidi.

  • Sailing yacht per un’esperienza autentica, silenziosa e legata alla tradizione della navigazione.

  • Catamarano per ampi spazi, stabilità superiore e maggiore privacy.

BeBlue analizza destinazione, numero di ospiti, preferenze personali e budget, selezionando per te la soluzione più adatta.

Quanto tempo prima è consigliabile prenotare?

Per l’alta stagione (Mediterraneo: giugno–settembre; Caraibi: dicembre–aprile) è consigliabile prenotare con diversi mesi di anticipo, così da assicurarsi le migliori opzioni disponibili.
Gestiamo comunque anche richieste last-minute, compatibilmente con disponibilità e requisiti di licenza.

È possibile personalizzare menu, preferenze e attività?

Certamente, prima della partenza riceverai un Preference Sheet in cui potrai indicare gusti, esigenze alimentari, allergie, preferenze per bevande e attività che desideri svolgere.
Lo Chef e il Comandante utilizzeranno queste informazioni per costruire un’esperienza completamente su misura.

Quante persone possono essere ospitate a bordo?

La maggior parte delle imbarcazioni può accogliere da 6 a 12 ospiti, a seconda della configurazione interna.
Alcuni superyacht oltre gli 80 metri, conformi alle certificazioni internazionali, possono ospitare fino a 36 persone.

Sarò connesso a Internet durante il charter?

La maggior parte delle imbarcazioni offre connessione Wi-Fi a bordo, tramite rete mobile o sistemi satellitari. La qualità e la velocità del servizio possono variare in base all’area di navigazione e alla tecnologia installata.

È previsto lasciare una mancia all’equipaggio?

La mancia non è obbligatoria, ma rappresenta una consuetudine consolidata per esprimere apprezzamento al lavoro della crew.
Le linee guida internazionali indicano come riferimento un importo pari al 10–15% del canone base.
