Bolstering its high-profile presence at both the Dubai and the Kuwait International Boat Shows, the IFA Yacht Ownership Club (IFA YOC) recently expanded its exclusive yacht lifestyle concept to include the Caribbean, taking its total number of cruising zones to five. It is the only Yacht Ownership Club based in the Middle East to offer such a breadth of destinations and services.

IFA YOC caters to those who want to indulge their passion for luxury cruising, in a variety of international destinations, without the stress and costs inherent to multiple yacht ownership. What's more,it works just like a golf or beach club membership, where members pay an annual fee that grants them access to the club's services and facilities, which in this case is a fleet of professionally crewed and maintained luxury yachts. Platinum, Gold and now Silver memberships are available, and each comes with an allocated number of credits that can be exchanged for a combination of peak, shoulder and off-peak, luxury cruising days.

Members of IFA YOC enjoy access to a luxury fleet of three Maiora yachts ranging from 23 to 27 metres and covering the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, the Arabian Gulf, the Red Sea and the Caribbean.

Piaras Moriarty, Vice President Vacation Ownership IFA Hotels & Resorts said, "Members can now discover the white and pink sandy beaches of Barbuda, the coral reefs in Antigua and the luxuriant blend of sunlight, sea air and fantastically rich vegetation of Nevis and St. Kitts. These islands are the most captivating and picturesque of the Caribbean's colonial harbour towns and we're delighted to offer them to our members."

To incorporate the Caribbean cruising zone expansion, the 'IFA Cannes', which spends the summer in the French Rivera, will now spend the winter in the Caribbean.
