How to beat the Winter Blues
Chilly winters always bring about dreams of warm Caribbean seas and sunny skies. If you aren’t lucky enough to live down island but need a getaway, Club La Costa Yacht Club has announced a new yacht and winter cruising destination in the British Virgin Islands.
Introducing Luxury Catamaran CLC Gemini
CLC World Resorts & Hotels (CLC World) very own catamaran CLC Gemini will be based in the British Virgin Islands, offering Yacht Club members the opportunity to sail away. This luxury catamaran’s inaugural season will begin February 2019 and run until May 2019. From there she will continue her sailings at the Yacht Club’s very popular summer cruising grounds in the Mediterranean.
This newest edition to the Club La Costa Yacht Club fleet – which already includes CLC Romy and CLC Nicodemus – is a 60-foot catamaran by French builder Fountaine Pajot. CLC Gemini is able to accommodate up to eight guests in four en-suite air-conditioned cabins, complete with TV and DVD players. With ample interior and exterior seating you can sit back and relax while the Captain & Crew take care of you. Enjoy cocktails and sundowners from the trampolines or soak up the views while enjoying the fresh cuisine served up by an experienced chef from their open-air galley.

Club La Costa Yacht Club has spent every summer exploring destinations such as Greece, Turkey, Italy and Spain and this new base is a perfect addition to their repetoire. Enjoy the culture of Tortola, swim the protected bays of Virgin Gorda, enjoy the classic “Painkiller” cocktail at the famous Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke or enjoy a fresh lobster grill on the beach of Anegada. The archipelago offers an unspoiled Caribbean experience that can be tailored to your needs.
