We are doing the happy dance! After a couple of years of good intentions of creating a standalone hotel barges charter website, we finally did it! BargeCharters.com has been uploaded. HURRAY!
Check it out: www.BargeCharters.Com
Calendars are already starting to fill up for the prime weeks of 2010 for many of our most popular Hotel Barges... and here's an incentive to get you motivated to book early, too!

Hi Sheila & Bob,
We are on the last cruise of this season with lovely folk, fabulous weather and enquiries coming in for next year, so all is good.
Bob & Sheila your charter yacht brokers (Paradise Connections) and hotel barge specialists, who live aboard their own sailboat and are currently at anchor in Simpson Bay Lagoon near Explorer Island (French side) of St Martin had an odd experience at lunchtime.
At about 12:30pm our boat started shaking. We both thought that maybe the boat was dragging as the boat was vibrating and there was a low grumbling noise like when the anchor chain moves over the bottom. Or was someone up against us???
Looked outside and everything is OK we are still shaking and a neighbor is looking around, too.
First time I've ever felt an earthquake at anchor that I know of :)
18.043°N, 62.781°W4.5 Magnitude
29 km (18 miles) ESE (102°) from Marigot, Saint Martin, Guadeloupe
30 km (18 miles) E (87°) from Philipsburg, Sint Maarten, Netherlands Antilles
We received an email from the French Hotel Barge LUCIOLE with a photo taken this week of them cruising the Canal du Nivernais in the Burgundy region of France.
We just received an email from Dannielle & Julian of the French Hotel Barge ATHOS from "sunny & warm Languedoc", while an email from my brother in Eastern Washington State this morning told me it was 38°F. Brrrrrrrrr and it is still September! Definitely time for you to start planning your next vacation... Especially with some of the Early Booking Discounts that are still in effect.
Penny from the French Hotel Barge LUCIOLE says that she'd like to fill up the remaining cabins that are still available for the weeks of 11 October & 18 October 2009.
They are offering the the remaining cabins at the LOW price of US$2500/person.

The luxury, crewed French Hotel Barge ALEGRIA, has two open weeks left for the 2009 season.
The French Hotel Barge ALEGRIA has a couple who is willing to share their charter with another couple, May 15-21, 2010, Canal du Midi in the south of France.
The crewed luxury Barge Alegria has two cabins and thus accommodates a maximum of 4 guests. Normal rates for a private 2-person charter is $22,500, while in this case you'd be splitting the 4-person rate of $24,000/wk with the other couple, bringing the price down to only $12,000/cabin.
This is a great opportunity for a couple to experience a week aboard ALEGRIA.
Olivier sent us this photo today, captioned "A private concert in a lock".
