Founder and Director, Ann E. McHorney, has 25 years in the Charter Industry, with experience as a Charter Sales Specialist for a prestigious Ft. Lauderdale firm, as a crew member on both sail and motor yachts ranging from 40 to 170 feet, and as a former owner of a charter yacht… Acting as a Charter Specialist for Select Yachts, Ann E delights in her efforts of matching charter clients with the right yachts and crews. “It’s sort of like being the Ultimate Match Maker – that’s how I like to think of myself! I’m so pleased when people come to me at the end of their holiday exclaiming that this was the best vacation of their lives. What a great thing to be able to do for people!” Years of working as charter crew have provided Ann E. with lots of cruising time in fabulous destinations.
She has traveled the East Coast of the US from Maine to the Dry Tortugas, the Great Lakes, the Bahamas, and the entire Caribbean from the Dominican Republic to Venezuela and the ABC’s. Mediterranean travels include Spain and the Balearics, the French and Italian Rivieras, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Greece, and Croatia. With first hand knowledge of the delights and attractions to be found along the way, Ann E. is the perfect person to assist in planning a dream yachting vacation. Having a degree in Restaurant Management, studies at Cordon Bleu in Paris, and a Graduate Gemologist diploma, Ann E can advise on great shopping and dining too! Ann E has chosen St. Maarten as her home and the site for Select Yachts, as she sees it as the up and coming location for the Charter Yacht Industry. “The number and quality of the yachts that arrive here for the season just gets better and better. St Maarten has a new modern airport with direct flights from the US, Canada, South America, France, The Netherlands, and other European countries, it’s an easy place to fly into, plus there is great provisioning for that gourmet food served on charter. The surrounding islands have an intriguing international flair and varied histories, to say nothing of the gorgeous swimming and diving, and the open stretches of beach.
