The yacht that Captain Lee Rosbach is sailing on this season of Below Deck is the notorious My Seanna. While fans of the show haven't seen the yacht since season six in 2018, it was quite the impressive power vessel. It looks like Valor is taking a back seat for this season.

On this season of the popular Bravo series, My Seanna is setting sailing once again with Captain Lee and the crew from the show. Even though it has been a couple of years since the fans have seen the massive yacht, they do not forget all the great times the crew had on it during season 6. Captain Lee took the My Seanna ship all the way to Tahiti on season 6, which made for quite the picturesque season. Now My Seanna is back on the water, sailing through the Caribbean sea with the crew from Below Deck .

Back the yacht was 160 feet, but was refitted in 2014 to the 185-foot mega yacht its appears as today. The Yacht Charter Fleet added that the interior and exterior designs of the boat were designed by Glade Johnson Design. The overall look and style of the yacht feels expensive and luxurious thanks to the fabulous designs the vessel was given. Not only is the boat beautifully design, but it is massive enough to fit up to 12 guests. The yacht includes six rooms, including a master suite, one VIP stateroom and 4 double cabins. Not to mention, My Seanna can also hold up to 12 crew members on board to ensure a relaxed and luxurious experience. The price for a boat like this will cost you between $350,000 and $412,500 per week in the summertime and between $294,000 and $392,000 per week during the winter seasons.

Even the beautiful furnishings and lavish seating featured throughout the yacht  were carefully placed to create a rich and comfortable atmosphere. As for amenities, the My Seanna includes impressive leisure and entertainment facilities that make this boat ideal for socializing and entertaining with family and friends.

Below Deck Season 6: Where Are The Cast Members Now?

Bravo’s ‘Below Deck’ is a reality television show that focuses on the crew members who work on a private yacht as they cater to the needs and demands of high-end clients who embark on lavish and exclusive charter vacations. The crew members must also deal with their drama, which often spills over into their work lives. The sixth season of the show follows its cast into the yacht named My Seanna as it sails in the stunning waters of Tahiti. Since the premiere of the season in October 2018, fans have followed their favorite cast members closely and have been curious to know more about them since it wrapped up. We have got all the details for you, so let us begin!

Lee Rosbach is a Published Author Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Captain Lee Rosbach (@captain_lee_rosbach)

The captain of the ship was a veteran face in the sixth season of the show. He managed to run the boat successfully and was able to tackle the interpersonal problems that came his way. As a captain, he had to make some hard decisions but it did not deter Captain Lee from coming back to the show for a couple of more seasons. Owing to his health issues, he had to take a break during the filming of the tenth season and he revealed he will not be returning to the show.

Captain Lee is a published author of ‘Running Against the Tide: True Tales from the Stud of the Sea’, a book he co-wrote with Michael Shohl. He is enjoying his time with Laura Monteverdi, his wife, and lovingly calls her “my bride” in all of his Instagram posts. He has confirmed that he will be doing more work with Bravo but the details are still unknown.

Adrian Martin is Focusing on Family Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Adrian Martin (@chefadrianmartin)

The Chef on the cruise for Season 6 was Adrian Martin. He was well-liked by all other crew members because of his calm and composed demeanor and pleasant temperament. However, third stew Laura Betancourt, in one of her confessionals, mentioned Adrian passed some romantic advances and sexually charged remarks that made her feel uncomfortable. On the show, he apologized for his behavior when she confronted him about it. After appearing on ‘Below Deck’ for a single season, Adrian kept working as a chef in NYC and then moved to Saint Martin, where he grew up.

Following that, Adrian had been offering private dining experiences to his clients and had shared that he wanted to go on a tour all over the US. Interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Adrian picked up on his plans after 2021 and even worked on a couple of yachts during this time. In 2022, Adrian and his partner, Grace, had a daughter whom they named Poppy Eloise. From what we can tell, he is now settled in Oregon with his lovely family.

Kate Chastain is  a Proud Mother Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kate Chastain (@kate_chastain)

The fan-favorite, Kate, brought her usual flair and feistiness to the sixth season of the show as well. There were many people she head-butted with but that is what fans love to see. In August of 2023, she appeared on a show named “Couch Talk” with Captain Lee and they discussed the “biggest moments of the week”. She is a new and proud mother of baby boy Sullivan Cay and has over one million followers on Instagram. This successful influencer has found different ways to reach new heights in her career and there is no stopping for Kate anytime soon.

Josiah Carter is Living a Content Life Today

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Josiah Carter (@josiahcarter_)

The British steward brought his refined service skills and keen attention to detail to the yacht and formed a good relationship with Kate. He quickly became a fan favorite and won over many hearts with his funny but well-meaning comments. After he departed from the show, he expressed that he could come back to the franchise for one of the spin-offs but the plans did not materialize due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Josiah is currently the owner of an ethical clothing brand named House of XOXO and is also a famous Instagram influencer. He and his long-time partner adopted a puppy Spoodle in December 2020 and they named him River. In addition to the fulfilling moments in Josiah’s life, he got engaged to Michael Groves in February 2022 and the couple will be married very soon this year. It seems like Josiah is very content in his life right now, and the doors for coming back to the Bravo production are not closed for him.

Caroline Bedol is Leading a Private Life Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by @socrazysocaroline

Caroline’s entry into the show was quite promising but it was not an easy ride for her as she sustained a lot of minor injuries and got into some heated arguments during the show. Even though Kate and Josiah celebrated her leaving the show, fans could not help but wonder what she has been up to. Caroline has kept a low profile since leaving the show and revealed that the time she spent on the show was quite traumatizing and she would like to recuperate for a while.

In a Reddit AMA, she did say that she can think about returning to the show. She said , “I would have another go at the third-stew position! Only because they would literally never attempt to eff with me again haha”. She has picked up her interest in horse riding again and espouses her political beliefs boldly. It looks like Caroline is gradually healing and is paving the way for great things ahead.

Laura Betancourt is a Yoga Instructor Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Laura Betancourt (@laurabetancourt)

Laura joined as a stew to replace Caroline in the middle of the charter season. Her strong personality clashed with Kate at the beginning of her arrival but the two were able to figure out a friendship along the way. Laura also had a brief romantic stint with Ashton while they were aboard.

Post leaving the show after just six episodes, Laura is now working as a yoga and fitness instructor with many certifications under her belt. She even hosts online practice sessions for her clients, which include celebrities. She is currently living in Hawaii and is making her followers envious with pictures of herself in beautiful and underexplored locations. From what we can tell, Laura is either single or she has decided to keep her love life under the radar. Whatever the case may be, she has great things written for her in the coming years and she seems to be thriving.

Chandler Brooks is Focusing on Personal Growth Now

The bosun of the yacht, Chandler, was not a favorite member of the crew. They felt he was not performing well at his job and had a bad attitude. He landed in a lot of trouble with Captain Lee because of not adhering to his orders and poorly treating his deckhands. Many fans agreed with Captain Lee for firing him but a lot of speculation has gone around related to his departure and his whereabouts after the show. Even though his co-star Caroline, in an AMA, said that Chandler was fired because he told the production team he wanted to resign and was overwhelmed with the job, there is no proof of the same.

Since his departure, Chandler has continued to rise the ranks in the yachting industry and is in a loving relationship with Jamie Jason, a cast member of ‘Below Deck Mediterranean’ season 3. Even though he is not present on social media, Jamie kept her profile public till a few years ago and it was evident that the couple were building a strong relationship while enjoying their respective careers and traveling. Chandler seems to have found some peace and stability in his life after the show, and better things are in store for him.

Ross Inia Keeps a Low-Profile Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ross Inia (@ross_inia)

Ross Inia joined the show as a deckhand but following Chandler’s untimely departure from the show, he was promoted to bosun. According to his crew mates, he was a better leader than Chandler, even though he was not the best. He gained a lot of love and liking from the fans of the show but Inia did not make a second appearance. In December 2018, following the season wrap-up, Inia was partying with a few friends in West Palm Beach, Florida, when he got into a fight and was reportedly arrested for disorderly intoxication and battery.

As per reports, Inia was charged with a couple of felonies but the charges were later dropped to misdemeanors when he entered a “not guilty” plea. According to Bravo, he said, “It was just me and a couple of mates having a night out. That’s pretty much all I can say. I can’t really elaborate on it. It was a big misunderstanding.” He has kept a low profile since then and frequently posts pictures with his son, Kai. On a personal front, he got engaged to his girlfriend, Rachel, in May 2021 and wants to spend more time in Florida to stay close to both his son and his fiance. Sadly, Inia’s father passed away in February 2022. Though he misses him every single day, Inia keeps his father’s memories alive in his heart.

Ashton Pienaar is Doing Community Work Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Yo-Yo Diet Recovery Coach (@ashtonpienaar)

Ashton survived a near-death experience in the show when his leg got caught in a towline but he was fortunately saved by a cameraman. He returned to the show for the next season, but it soon became apparent that he had a drinking problem which led to him being fired. After he left the show, Ashton turned his life around and is currently the owner of a fitness company called A P Elite. In 2021, he declared that he had been sober for a year and is making strides in delivering on personal and familial relations. He is not only helping himself but also providing support to people to lead better and healthier lives and it seems like he is meant to do even greater things.

Rhylee Gerber is an Entrepreneur Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rhylee Gerber (@thelifeofrhylee)

Born and brought up in Alaska, Rhylee joined the ‘below Deck’ crew as a deckhand. She did not get along well with many people in the show but always ended up in heated arguments with Ashton. She came back to the show for a subsequent season but has not made an appearance since then.

After deciding to leave the show for good, Rhylee went back to Alaska and started fishing professionally. She frequently posted about the daily ins and outs of her life and after the pandemic was over, she moved into a van and started traveling across the country. She was accompanied by her dog, Dolce, whom she lost to an unbeatable tumor in July 2020. She is currently an entrepreneur and is seemingly involved in animal rescue. She is a very successful influencer and is shining brighter than ever.

Tyler Rowland is a Digital Creator Now

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tyler Rowland (@tyler.c.rowland)

With STCW and CPR certifications, Tyler made a good deckhand on ‘Below Deck’. Some sparks flew between him and Rhylee during the filming of the show but it did not lead to long-lasting relationships. After the show, he went back to working as a firefighter and has also become a digital creator. He has reclaimed his liking for adventure and frequently treks and travels to obscure destinations. He expresses interest in a lot of arenas like fitness, food, and activism. It is great to see Tyler being in his element and reclaiming his true self to achieve better.

“Home” motoryacht in the 7th Season of Below Deck Mediterranean

If Home is where the heart is, then the motoryacht “home” is surely the home of many yacht enthusiasts.

This 50m motoryacht built by Heesen truly shined during the 7th season of Below Deck in Malta and her modern interior and features were well highlighted.

Home is available for charter from $245,000 / week , and the purchase price is at €29,500,000.

Mustique motoryacht in the 8th season of Below Deck Mediterranean

The 8th season of Below Deck Mediterranean embarked on the Italian riviera onboard Mustique, a 55m (180ft) motoryacht by Trinity Yachts.

Mustique features an impressive retro interior and spacious outdoor areas that truly shine when combined with the Mediterranean coast of that particular season.

Mustique can be chartered from €230,000 / week . Her last asking price for sale was at $19,000,000.

Yachts featured in Below Deck Sailing Yacht (Spin off)

Parsifal iii luxury sailboat.

Parsifal III appears in the two seasons of the spin-off Below Deck Sailing yacht, captained by Glenn Shepard around Greece (season 1) and Croatia (season 2). Launched in 2005 by Perini Navi, this 177,2ft superyacht was designed by Remi Tessier. She can accommodate a total of 12 guests and 9 crew.

She is available from $237,500 to $274,000 per week to charter her around the Mediterranean and the Caribbean winter time.

In 2016, her selling asking price was $20,5 million.

Yachts featured in Below Deck Adventure (Spin off)

Motoryacht mercury (previously known as malibu and kermit).

In the fourth spin off of Below Deck, the now infamous decided to spice things up a little. Instead of the usual Mediterranean or Caribbean routine, Below Deck went to the less explored (but extremely breathtaking) Norway.

For this new serie filled with adventure, Below Deck picked the motoryacht Mercury, ex Malibu and Kermit, to explore the Fjords Norway is famous for.

Mercury is a 50m motoryacht built by the dutch shipyard Amels, and designed by Terence Disdale.

She can accomodate up to 12 guests and 12 crew onboard. No doubt, that should be enough for this new exciting season.

Mercury is available for charter from $170,000 a week . Her current selling price is $13,500,000 .

Yachts featured in Below Deck Down Under (Spin off in Australia)

Thalassa (keri lee iii): the motoryacht in below deck down under season 1.

Thalassa was the vessel of choice for the Australian Spin off of Below Deck. The real name of the yacht isn’t actually Thalassa but Keri Lee III.

The 181ft (55m) yacht was built by the American shipyard Trinity Yachts and features amenities such as a gym, a jacuzzi and 6 magnificent cabins. The perfect vessel to sail in style the waters of Northeastern Australia.

Keri Lee has a weekly charter rate that starts at AUD310,000 .

Northern Sun: the yacht in Below Deck Down Under Season 2

Below Deck Down Under season 2 explored the coasts around Cairns, the gateway to access the great barrier reef and the Whitsunday Islands.

And it’s hard to imagine a better yacht than the Northern Sun motoryacht to explore this iconic area. The Northern Sun is a 50.8m (now yacht) that used to be a vessel dedicated for ice exploration. The refit work took two years but was clearly worth it when we look at the result displayed in this second season of the Australian Spin off.

Although the Northern Sun is built by the Japanese Narasaki shipyard, it surely is a boat that fits Australian waters quite well and could delight anyone looking to explore the most rugged locations in style, whether they are polar or tropical.

Northern Sun is available for charter from $161,700 / week . Her latest asking price was $15,000,000 .

I reviewed this book for a course titled "Creative and Critical Inquiry into Modern Life." It won't meet all my needs for that course, but I haven't yet found a book that would. I wanted to review this one because it states in the preface that it fits better for a general critical thinking course than for a true logic course. I'm not sure that I'd agree. I have been using Browne and Keeley's "Asking the Right Questions: A Guide to Critical Thinking," and I think that book is a better introduction to critical thinking for non-philosophy majors. However, the latter is not open source so I will figure out how to get by without it in the future. Overall, the book seems comprehensive if the subject is logic. The index is on the short-side, but fine. However, one issue for me is that there are no page numbers on the table of contents, which is pretty annoying if you want to locate particular sections.

Content Accuracy rating: 4

I didn't find any errors. In general the book uses great examples. However, they are very much based in the American context, not for an international student audience. Some effort to broaden the chosen examples would make the book more widely applicable.

Relevance/Longevity rating: 4

I think the book will remain relevant because of the nature of the material that it addresses, however there will be a need to modify the examples in future editions and as the social and political context changes.

Clarity rating: 3

The text is lucid, but I think it would be difficult for introductory-level students who are not philosophy majors. For example, in Browne and Keeley's "Asking the Right Questions: A Guide to Critical Thinking," the sub-headings are very accessible, such as "Experts cannot rescue us, despite what they say" or "wishful thinking: perhaps the biggest single speed bump on the road to critical thinking." By contrast, Van Cleave's "Introduction to Logic and Critical Thinking" has more subheadings like this: "Using your own paraphrases of premises and conclusions to reconstruct arguments in standard form" or "Propositional logic and the four basic truth functional connectives." If students are prepared very well for the subject, it would work fine, but for students who are newly being introduced to critical thinking, it is rather technical.

It seems to be very consistent in terms of its terminology and framework.

Modularity rating: 4

The book is divided into 4 chapters, each having many sub-chapters. In that sense, it is readily divisible and modular. However, as noted above, there are no page numbers on the table of contents, which would make assigning certain parts rather frustrating. Also, I'm not sure why the book is only four chapter and has so many subheadings (for instance 17 in Chapter 2) and a length of 242 pages. Wouldn't it make more sense to break up the book into shorter chapters? I think this would make it easier to read and to assign in specific blocks to students.

Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 4

The organization of the book is fine overall, although I think adding page numbers to the table of contents and breaking it up into more separate chapters would help it to be more easily navigable.

Interface rating: 4

The book is very simply presented. In my opinion it is actually too simple. There are few boxes or diagrams that highlight and explain important points.

The text seems fine grammatically. I didn't notice any errors.

The book is written with an American audience in mind, but I did not notice culturally insensitive or offensive parts.

Overall, this book is not for my course, but I think it could work well in a philosophy course.

This textbook is not particularly comprehensive (4 chapters long), but I view that as a benefit. In fact, I recommend it for use outside of traditional logic classes, but rather interdisciplinary classes that evaluate argument

To the best of my ability, I regard this content as accurate, error-free, and unbiased

The book is broadly relevant and up-to-date, with a few stray temporal references (sydney olympics, particular presidencies). I don't view these time-dated examples as problematic as the logical underpinnings are still there and easily assessed

Clarity rating: 4

My only pushback on clarity is I didn't find the distinction between argument and explanation particularly helpful/useful/easy to follow. However, this experience may have been unique to my class.

To the best of my ability, I regard this content as internally consistent

I found this text quite modular, and was easily able to integrate other texts into my lessons and disregard certain chapters or sub-sections

The book had a logical and consistent structure, but to the extent that there are only 4 chapters, there isn't much scope for alternative approaches here

No problems with the book's interface

The text is grammatically sound

Cultural Relevance rating: 4

Perhaps the text could have been more universal in its approach. While I didn't find the book insensitive per-se, logic can be tricky here because the point is to evaluate meaningful (non-trivial) arguments, but any argument with that sense of gravity can also be traumatic to students (abortion, death penalty, etc)

The text covers all the relevant technical aspects of introductory logic and critical thinking, and covers them well. A separate glossary would be quite helpful to students. However, the terms are clearly and thoroughly explained within the text, and the index is very thorough.

The content is excellent. The text is thorough and accurate with no errors that I could discern. The terminology and exercises cover the material nicely and without bias.

The text should easily stand the test of time. The exercises are excellent and would be very helpful for students to internalize correct critical thinking practices. Because of the logical arrangement of the text and the many sub-sections, additional material should be very easy to add.

The text is extremely clearly and simply written. I anticipate that a diligent student could learn all of the material in the text with little additional instruction. The examples are relevant and easy to follow.

The text did not confuse terms or use inconsistent terminology, which is very important in a logic text. The discipline often uses multiple terms for the same concept, but this text avoids that trap nicely.

The text is fairly easily divisible. Since there are only four chapters, those chapters include large blocks of information. However, the chapters themselves are very well delineated and could be easily broken up so that parts could be left out or covered in a different order from the text.

The flow of the text is excellent. All of the information is handled solidly in an order that allows the student to build on the information previously covered.

The PDF Table of Contents does not include links or page numbers which would be very helpful for navigation. Other than that, the text was very easy to navigate. All the images, charts, and graphs were very clear

I found no grammatical errors in the text.

Cultural Relevance rating: 3

The text including examples and exercises did not seem to be offensive or insensitive in any specific way. However, the examples included references to black and white people, but few others. Also, the text is very American specific with many examples from and for an American audience. More diversity, especially in the examples, would be appropriate and appreciated.

This is an excellent introductory (first-year) Logic and Critical Thinking textbook. The book covers the important elementary information, clearly discussing such things as the purpose and basic structure of an argument; the difference between an argument and an explanation; validity; soundness; and the distinctions between an inductive and a deductive argument in accessible terms in the first chapter. It also does a good job introducing and discussing informal fallacies (Chapter 4). The incorporation of opportunities to evaluate real-world arguments is also very effective. Chapter 2 also covers a number of formal methods of evaluating arguments, such as Venn Diagrams and Propositional logic and the four basic truth functional connectives, but to my mind, it is much more thorough in its treatment of Informal Logic and Critical Thinking skills, than it is of formal logic. I also appreciated that Van Cleave’s book includes exercises with answers and an index, but there is no glossary; which I personally do not find detracts from the book's comprehensiveness.

Overall, Van Cleave's book is error-free and unbiased. The language used is accessible and engaging. There were no glaring inaccuracies that I was able to detect.

Van Cleave's Textbook uses relevant, contemporary content that will stand the test of time, at least for the next few years. Although some examples use certain subjects like former President Obama, it does so in a useful manner that inspires the use of critical thinking skills. There are an abundance of examples that inspire students to look at issues from many different political viewpoints, challenging students to practice evaluating arguments, and identifying fallacies. Many of these exercises encourage students to critique issues, and recognize their own inherent reader-biases and challenge their own beliefs--hallmarks of critical thinking.

As mentioned previously, the author has an accessible style that makes the content relatively easy to read and engaging. He also does a suitable job explaining jargon/technical language that is introduced in the textbook.

Van Cleave uses terminology consistently and the chapters flow well. The textbook orients the reader by offering effective introductions to new material, step-by-step explanations of the material, as well as offering clear summaries of each lesson.

This textbook's modularity is really quite good. Its language and structure are not overly convoluted or too-lengthy, making it convenient for individual instructors to adapt the materials to suit their methodological preferences.

The topics in the textbook are presented in a logical and clear fashion. The structure of the chapters are such that it is not necessary to have to follow the chapters in their sequential order, and coverage of material can be adapted to individual instructor's preferences.

The textbook is free of any problematic interface issues. Topics, sections and specific content are accessible and easy to navigate. Overall it is user-friendly.

I did not find any significant grammatical issues with the textbook.

The textbook is not culturally insensitive, making use of a diversity of inclusive examples. Materials are especially effective for first-year critical thinking/logic students.

I intend to adopt Van Cleave's textbook for a Critical Thinking class I am teaching at the Community College level. I believe that it will help me facilitate student-learning, and will be a good resource to build additional classroom activities from the materials it provides.

While the book is admirably comprehensive, its extensive details within a few short chapters may feel overwhelming to students. The author tackles an impressive breadth of concepts in Chapter 1, 2, 3, and 4, which leads to 50-plus-page chapters that are dense with statistical analyses and critical vocabulary. These topics are likely better broached in manageable snippets rather than hefty single chapters.

The ideas addressed in Introduction to Logic and Critical Thinking are accurate but at times notably political. While politics are effectively used to exemplify key concepts, some students may be distracted by distinct political leanings.

The terms and definitions included are relevant, but the examples are specific to the current political, cultural, and social climates, which could make the materials seem dated in a few years without intentional and consistent updates.

While the reasoning is accurate, the author tends to complicate rather than simplify -- perhaps in an effort to cover a spectrum of related concepts. Beginning readers are likely to be overwhelmed and under-encouraged by his approach.

Consistency rating: 3

The four chapters are somewhat consistent in their play of definition, explanation, and example, but the structure of each chapter varies according to the concepts covered. In the third chapter, for example, key ideas are divided into sub-topics numbering from 3.1 to 3.10. In the fourth chapter, the sub-divisions are further divided into sub-sections numbered 4.1.1-4.1.5, 4.2.1-4.2.2, and 4.3.1 to 4.3.6. Readers who are working quickly to master new concepts may find themselves mired in similarly numbered subheadings, longing for a grounded concepts on which to hinge other key principles.

Modularity rating: 3

The book's four chapters make it mostly self-referential. The author would do well to beak this text down into additional subsections, easing readers' accessibility.

The content of the book flows logically and well, but the information needs to be better sub-divided within each larger chapter, easing the student experience.

The book's interface is effective, allowing readers to move from one section to the next with a single click. Additional sub-sections would ease this interplay even further.

Grammatical Errors rating: 4

Some minor errors throughout.

For the most part, the book is culturally neutral, avoiding direct cultural references in an effort to remain relevant.

This textbook covers enough topics for a first-year course on logic and critical thinking. Chapter 1 covers the basics as in any standard textbook in this area. Chapter 2 covers propositional logic and categorical logic. In propositional logic, this textbook does not cover suppositional arguments, such as conditional proof and reductio ad absurdum. But other standard argument forms are covered. Chapter 3 covers inductive logic, and here this textbook introduces probability and its relationship with cognitive biases, which are rarely discussed in other textbooks. Chapter 4 introduces common informal fallacies. The answers to all the exercises are given at the end. However, the last set of exercises is in Chapter 3, Section 5. There are no exercises in the rest of the chapter. Chapter 4 has no exercises either. There is index, but no glossary.

The textbook is accurate.

The content of this textbook will not become obsolete soon.

The textbook is written clearly.

The textbook is fairly modular. For example, Chapter 3, together with a few sections from Chapter 1, can be used as a short introduction to inductive logic.

This text is a beginner textbook for arguments and propositional logic. It covers the basics of identifying arguments, building arguments, and using basic logic to construct propositions and arguments. It is quite comprehensive for a beginner book, but seems to be a good text for a course that needs a foundation for arguments. There are exercises on creating truth tables and proofs, so it could work as a logic primer in short sessions or with the addition of other course content.

The books is accurate in the information it presents. It does not contain errors and is unbiased. It covers the essential vocabulary clearly and givens ample examples and exercises to ensure the student understands the concepts

The content of the book is up to date and can be easily updated. Some examples are very current for analyzing the argument structure in a speech, but for this sort of text understandable examples are important and the author uses good examples.

The book is clear and easy to read. In particular, this is a good text for community college students who often have difficulty with reading comprehension. The language is straightforward and concepts are well explained.

The book is consistent in terminology, formatting, and examples. It flows well from one topic to the next, but it is also possible to jump around the text without loosing the voice of the text.

The books is broken down into sub units that make it easy to assign short blocks of content at a time. Later in the text, it does refer to a few concepts that appear early in that text, but these are all basic concepts that must be used to create a clear and understandable text. No sections are too long and each section stays on topic and relates the topic to those that have come before when necessary.

The flow of the text is logical and clear. It begins with the basic building blocks of arguments, and practice identifying more and more complex arguments is offered. Each chapter builds up from the previous chapter in introducing propositional logic, truth tables, and logical arguments. A select number of fallacies are presented at the end of the text, but these are related to topics that were presented before, so it makes sense to have these last.

The text is free if interface issues. I used the PDF and it worked fine on various devices without loosing formatting.

1. The book contains no grammatical errors.

The text is culturally sensitive, but examples used are a bit odd and may be objectionable to some students. For instance, President Obama's speech on Syria is used to evaluate an extended argument. This is an excellent example and it is explained well, but some who disagree with Obama's policies may have trouble moving beyond their own politics. However, other examples look at issues from all political viewpoints and ask students to evaluate the argument, fallacy, etc. and work towards looking past their own beliefs. Overall this book does use a variety of examples that most students can understand and evaluate.

My favorite part of this book is that it seems to be written for community college students. My students have trouble understanding readings in the New York Times, so it is nice to see a logic and critical thinking text use real language that students can understand and follow without the constant need of a dictionary.

This textbook is quite thorough--there are conversational explanations of argument structure and logic. I think students will be happy with the conversational style this author employs. Also, there are many examples and exercises using current events, funny scenarios, or other interesting ways to evaluate argument structure and validity. The third section, which deals with logical fallacies, is very clear and comprehensive. My only critique of the material included in the book is that the middle section may be a bit dense and math-oriented for learners who appreciate the more informal, informative style of the first and third section. Also, the book ends rather abruptly--it moves from a description of a logical fallacy to the answers for the exercises earlier in the text.

The content is very reader-friendly, and the author writes with authority and clarity throughout the text. There are a few surface-level typos (Starbuck's instead of Starbucks, etc.). None of these small errors detract from the quality of the content, though.

One thing I really liked about this text was the author's wide variety of examples. To demonstrate different facets of logic, he used examples from current media, movies, literature, and many other concepts that students would recognize from their daily lives. The exercises in this text also included these types of pop-culture references, and I think students will enjoy the familiarity--as well as being able to see the logical structures behind these types of references. I don't think the text will need to be updated to reflect new instances and occurrences; the author did a fine job at picking examples that are relatively timeless. As far as the subject matter itself, I don't think it will become obsolete any time soon.

The author writes in a very conversational, easy-to-read manner. The examples used are quite helpful. The third section on logical fallacies is quite easy to read, follow, and understand. A student in an argument writing class could benefit from this section of the book. The middle section is less clear, though. A student learning about the basics of logic might have a hard time digesting all of the information contained in chapter two. This material might be better in two separate chapters. I think the author loses the balance of a conversational, helpful tone and focuses too heavily on equations.

Consistency rating: 4

Terminology in this book is quite consistent--the key words are highlighted in bold. Chapters 1 and 3 follow a similar organizational pattern, but chapter 2 is where the material becomes more dense and equation-heavy. I also would have liked a closing passage--something to indicate to the reader that we've reached the end of the chapter as well as the book.

I liked the overall structure of this book. If I'm teaching an argumentative writing class, I could easily point the students to the chapters where they can identify and practice identifying fallacies, for instance. The opening chapter is clear in defining the necessary terms, and it gives the students an understanding of the toolbox available to them in assessing and evaluating arguments. Even though I found the middle section to be dense, smaller portions could be assigned.

The author does a fine job connecting each defined term to the next. He provides examples of how each defined term works in a sentence or in an argument, and then he provides practice activities for students to try. The answers for each question are listed in the final pages of the book. The middle section feels like the heaviest part of the whole book--it would take the longest time for a student to digest if assigned the whole chapter. Even though this middle section is a bit heavy, it does fit the overall structure and flow of the book. New material builds on previous chapters and sub-chapters. It ends abruptly--I didn't realize that it had ended, and all of a sudden I found myself in the answer section for those earlier exercises.

The simple layout is quite helpful! There is nothing distracting, image-wise, in this text. The table of contents is clearly arranged, and each topic is easy to find.

Tiny edits could be made (Starbuck's/Starbucks, for one). Otherwise, it is free of distracting grammatical errors.

This text is quite culturally relevant. For instance, there is one example that mentions the rumors of Barack Obama's birthplace as somewhere other than the United States. This example is used to explain how to analyze an argument for validity. The more "sensational" examples (like the Obama one above) are helpful in showing argument structure, and they can also help students see how rumors like this might gain traction--as well as help to show students how to debunk them with their newfound understanding of argument and logic.

The writing style is excellent for the subject matter, especially in the third section explaining logical fallacies. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this text!

This is a review of Introduction to Logic and Critical Thinking, an open source book version 1.4 by Matthew Van Cleave. The comparison book used was Patrick J. Hurley’s A Concise Introduction to Logic 12th Edition published by Cengage as well as the 13th edition with the same title. Lori Watson is the second author on the 13th edition.

Competing with Hurley is difficult with respect to comprehensiveness. For example, Van Cleave’s book is comprehensive to the extent that it probably covers at least two-thirds or more of what is dealt with in most introductory, one-semester logic courses. Van Cleave’s chapter 1 provides an overview of argumentation including discerning non-arguments from arguments, premises versus conclusions, deductive from inductive arguments, validity, soundness and more. Much of Van Cleave’s chapter 1 parallel’s Hurley’s chapter 1. Hurley’s chapter 3 regarding informal fallacies is comprehensive while Van Cleave’s chapter 4 on this topic is less extensive. Categorical propositions are a topic in Van Cleave’s chapter 2; Hurley’s chapters 4 and 5 provide more instruction on this, however. Propositional logic is another topic in Van Cleave’s chapter 2; Hurley’s chapters 6 and 7 provide more information on this, though. Van Cleave did discuss messy issues of language meaning briefly in his chapter 1; that is the topic of Hurley’s chapter 2.

Van Cleave’s book includes exercises with answers and an index. A glossary was not included.

Reviews of open source textbooks typically include criteria besides comprehensiveness. These include comments on accuracy of the information, whether the book will become obsolete soon, jargon-free clarity to the extent that is possible, organization, navigation ease, freedom from grammar errors and cultural relevance; Van Cleave’s book is fine in all of these areas. Further criteria for open source books includes modularity and consistency of terminology. Modularity is defined as including blocks of learning material that are easy to assign to students. Hurley’s book has a greater degree of modularity than Van Cleave’s textbook. The prose Van Cleave used is consistent.

Van Cleave’s book will not become obsolete soon.

Van Cleave’s book has accessible prose.

Van Cleave used terminology consistently.

Van Cleave’s book has a reasonable degree of modularity.

Van Cleave’s book is organized. The structure and flow of his book is fine.

Problems with navigation are not present.

Grammar problems were not present.

Van Cleave’s book is culturally relevant.

Van Cleave’s book is appropriate for some first semester logic courses.

About the book.

This is an introductory textbook in logic and critical thinking. The goal of the textbook is to provide the reader with a set of tools and skills that will enable them to identify and evaluate arguments. The book is intended for an introductory course that covers both formal and informal logic. As such, it is not a formal logic textbook, but is closer to what one would find marketed as a “critical thinking textbook.”

According to Laws of The Republic Indonesia Number 12 in 2012 about Higher Education article 5, one of the main purposes of higher education is to promote the potentially development of students in order to be man of faith and fear of God Almighty and noble, healthy, knowledgeable, skilled, creative, independent, skilled, competent, and cultured for the sake of the nation. Therefore, the students of higher level should be promoted to have critical, reflective and analytical abilities. Although students at university levels should be able to develop this kind of thought, thinking critically is not simply acquired; it ought to be promoted and practiced constantly trough effective aids. A useful mean to foster critical thinking in this context is reading, and more specifically comprehension reading game " Brain Teasers ". Reading without comprehension is simply word calling. Effective comprehends not only make sense of the text, but are also able to use the information it contains. They are able to think thoughtfully or deeply and to make personal connections as they analyze and question what they are reading, hearing, and seeing. Studies showed that developing students' abilities to take critical literacy boldness when reading texts is an important aspect of literacy instruction. Interpreting texts through a critical literacy lens can help students become aware of the messages that texts communicate; who should receive privileges; and who has been or continues to be oppressed. As students learn how to engage in critical

As a philosophy professor, one of my central goals is to teach students to think critically. However, one difficulty with determining whether critical thinking can be taught, or even measured, is that there is widespread disagreement over what critical thinking actually is. Here, I reflect on several conceptions of critical thinking, subjecting them to critical scrutiny. I also distinguish critical thinking from other forms of mental processes with which it is often conflated. Next, I present my own conception of critical thinking, wherein it fundamentally consists in acquiring, developing, and exercising the ability to grasp inferential connections holding between statements. Finally, given this account of critical thinking, and given recent studies in cognitive science, I suggest the most effective means for teaching students to think critically.

Critical thinking is an intellectually disciplined process of actively and skilfully conceptualising, applying, analysing and evaluating information gathered from or generated by observation, experience, reflection, reasoning or communication, as a guide to belief and action. To accomplish these critical thinking actions good language ability is crucial. Vygotsky revise great importance to the link between the development of language and critical thinking. This is a correlational research in which 30 MA Students of Azad University of Shiraz branch were selected as participants. California Critical thinking skills questionnaire was used to collect the data in this research. Results indicated that there is significant relationship between mother tongue and critical thinking level, but there is no significant relationship between age, gender and critical thinking level.

This study was intended to investigate the effectiveness of teaching critical thinking on students' writing performance and their critical thinking dispositions. To this end, 140 students were selected. 73 students were assigned to the experimental group and 67 were assigned to the control group. The experimental group received instruction in critical thinking strategies whereas the control group did not. The instruments used in this study were the researcher-developed essay test, the Ennis-Weir critical thinking essay test, and the California Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory (CCTDI). A 2-group pretest/posttest quasi-experimental design was utilized to determine the outcome measures. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent-samples t-test. Statistically significant differences were observed in the experimental and the control groups in the total scores of the three instruments. The results indicated an improvement in students' writing performance and their dispositions toward using critical thinking strategies. Nonetheless, some dispositional aspects such as truth-seeking, cognitive maturity, and open-mindedness did not differ significantly after the intervention.

Learning using 1:1 mobile devices is a partnership between the user and the curriculum, where learning interventions are strategically integrated to foster critical thinking skills for effective problem solving. The purpose of this research study is to explore the question, How can 1:1 mobile technology be used to develop critical thinking skills and support creativity? The skill of problem solving is evidence of applied critical thinking during targeted learning. The literature review and focus group results, contextualise and aim to demonstrate how learners are using 1:1 mobile devices to develop critical thinking skills to achieve problem solving outcomes. Engineering courses that are using problem orientated design-based learning and are allowing students to use 1:1 mobile devices, need to support students by including targeted learning interventions. Learning interventions using active learning (self-directed learning) principles that are designed to teach critical thinking skills to achieve higher order problem solving outcomes for ‘real world’ solutions. Focus group results are included in this research study to highlight students’ perceptions when using 1:1 mobile devices for learning as evidence of applied critical thinking skills.

Why A Critical Thinking Mini-Guide? This miniature guide focuses on of the essence of critical thinking concepts and tools distilled into pocket size. For faculty it provides a shared concept of critical thinking. For students it is a critical thinking supplement to any textbook for any course. Faculty can use it to design instruction, assignments, and tests in any subject. Students can use it to improve their learning in any content area. Its generic skills apply to all subjects. For example, critical thinkers are clear as to the purpose at hand and the question at issue. They question information , conclusions, and points of view. They strive to be clear, accurate, precise, and relevant. They seek to think beneath the surface, to be logical, and fair. They apply these skills to their reading and writing as well as to their speaking and listening. They apply them in history, science, math, philosophy , and the arts; in professional and personal life. When this guide is used as a supplement to the textbook in multiple courses, students begin to perceive the usefulness of critical thinking in every domain of learning. And if their instructors provide examples of the application of the subject to daily life, students begin to see that education is a tool for improving the quality of their lives. If you are a student using this mini-guide, get in the habit of carrying it with you to every class. Consult it frequently in analyzing and synthesizing what you are learning. Aim for deep internalization of the principles you find in it—until using them becomes second nature. If successful, this guide will serve faculty, students, and the educational program simultaneously.

 The Miniature Guide to Critical Thinking Concepts and Tools

Why Critical Thinking? The Problem: Everyone thinks; it is our nature to do so. But much of our thinking, left to itself, is biased, distorted, partial, uninformed or down-right prejudiced. Yet the quality of our life and that of what we produce, make, or build depends precisely on the quality of our thought. Shoddy thinking is costly, both in money and in quality of life. Excellence in thought, however, must be system- atically cultivated. A Definition : Critical thinking is the art of analyzing and evaluating thinking with a view to ­improving it. The Result: A well cultivated critical thinker: • raises vital questions and problems, formulating them clearly and precisely; • gathers and assesses relevant information, using abstract ideas to interpret it effectively; • comes to well-reasoned conclusions and solutions, testing them against relevant criteria and standards; • thinks openmindedly within alternative systems of thought, recognizing and assessing, as need be, their assumptions, implications, and practical consequences; and • communicates effectively with others in figuring out solutions to complex problems. Critical thinking is, in short, self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective thinking. It requires rigorous standards of excellence and mindful command of their use. It entails effective communication and problem solving abilities and a commitment to overcome our native egocen- trism and sociocentrism.

Tools of Critical Thinking: Metathoughts for Psychology

David A. Levy , Pepperdine University

Description

This innovative text is designed to improve thinking skills through the application of 30 critical thinking principles—Metathoughts. These specialized tools and techniques are useful for approaching all forms of study, inquiry, and problem solving. Levy applies Metathoughts to a diverse array of issues in contemporary clinical, social, and cross-cultural psychology: identifying strengths and weaknesses in various schools of thought, defining and explaining psychological phenomena, evaluating the accuracy and usefulness of research studies, reducing logical flaws and personal biases, and improving the search for creative solutions. The Metathoughts are brought to life with practical examples, clinical vignettes, illustrations, anecdotes, thought-provoking exercises, useful antidotes, and contemporary social problems and issues. Tools of Critical Thinking, 2/E is primarily suited as a core textbook for courses in critical thinking/problem solving, or makes an ideal supplement in a wide variety of undergraduate and graduate psychology courses, including introductory psychology, abnormal psychology (psychopathology), cross-cultural psychology, theories and methods of psychotherapy, research methods and design, theories of personality, clinical practicum, and contemporary problems and issues in psychology.

Introduction and background

Unreliable health information has been identified as a public health challenge. It may lead individuals to explore unproven and potentially harmful medical treatments 1 or cause delays in seeking appropriate healthcare services. 2

At the time, researchers at the University of Galway were producing evidence syntheses to inform COVID-19 policy and practice. Recognising the need to provide a similar quality of evidence to public audiences, they established iHealthFacts, an initiative to provide people living in Ireland with evidence-based information about health claims. iHealthFacts solicits questions from the public about health claims they encounter, conducts reviews of research evidence to answer these questions and presents the findings in an accessible way. These may include claims about the effects of health interventions, for example, treatments for diseases, diet, dietary supplements or exercise regimes. Initially, public enquiries were centred around COVID-19. Following the pandemic, the range of enquiries widened, notably with increased interest in traditional and complementary therapies.

The Takeaway. Critical thinking is a purposeful method for enhancing your thoughts beyond your automatic, everyday way of thinking. It's a process that uses a framework and tool set.

EXCLUSIVE: Below Deck season 6 yacht revealed

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Katia Damborsky   4 September 2018

For the sixth season of Bravo’s Below Deck, the 56m/184ft motor yacht 'My Seanna ’ from Delta Marine will be playing host. 

Premiering on 2 October, Below Deck is coming back to our screens and the superyacht of the season can be exclusively unveiled as My Seanna  - a motor yacht renowned for her opulent interiors, chic deck areas and dedicated entertainment and leisure facilities. 

At 56 metres, the Delta Marine build is the largest yacht ever to feature on the show and the first in Below Deck's six seasons to use her real name as opposed to a pseudonym. This doesn't include the spin-off Below Deck Mediterranean, which follows the lives of superyacht crews during the summer charter season. 

Below Deck, on the other hand, is filmed during the winter cruising season. Usually, it is set in the popular cruising grounds of the Caribbean but, this year, in another first for the show, it takes place in Tahiti - an idyllic island in French Polynesia which offers an alternative destination for winter charters. 

The ocean is calling... 🌊 and @Captain_Lee_Rosbach is picking up with an all-new season of #BelowDeck Tuesday, October 2 @ 9/8c. Link in bio for a first look! A post shared by BravoTV (@bravotv) on Aug 22, 2018 at 8:24am PDT

Filming of the hit reality TV show began in Tahiti in early February and now a recently released trailer included below provides a glimpse into what on-deck antics viewers can expect from the crew and guests alike.

In this season, fan favourite Captain Lee Rosbach returns to the helm accompanied by Chief Stewardess Kate Chastain. But apart from these two familiar faces, the rest of the crew are new to the show. 

Held by Below Deck veteran Ben Robinson for the first four seasons, the chef position will be filled by Adrian Martin, an experienced superyacht chef who has won awards at some of the industry's top culinary contests.

Following on from his predecessor Ben Robinson, Adrian Martin is expected to cause plenty of drama in the galley

Following on from his predecessor, Adrian will serve up delicious dishes as well as plenty of drama when his diva reputation surfaces. Likewise, tension is created when Kate forms an exclusive clique with her first ever male stew - Josiah Carter - leaving fellow stewardess Caroline Bedol feeling left out. 

Also anticipated to provide compulsive viewing is the dynamics between bosun Chandler Brooks, who begins to crack under the pressure, and his deckhands Ross Inia and Ashton Pienaar. Female deckhand Rhylee Gerber will be making her debut on the show too.

The show will also provide an insight into what a French Polynesia yacht charter is like. But to find out more about what other luxury yachts have featured in the TV series, read our article Names of Below Deck yachts revealed . Or read the  My Seanna review  for a closer look at this season's yacht.

Located five miles West of Papeete harbour, Marina Taina was the first Superyacht facility constructed, built in 1994 and was expanded in 2004. Marina Taina offers a safe, quiet and pollution-free environment in a beautiful lagoon.

The Marina is close to Faa’a International Airport, Papeete city amenities and is within walking distance from Carrefour shopping mall, with the largest supermarket in Tahiti.

Two cement docks are reserved for luxury yachts and the marina can handle up to 27 units at the same time (stern-to-mooring with anchor and lines on bottom moorings – depth 3 to 15m). Services include electricity 220 V/ 380 V – Three phases – 60 Hz. – 60 to 250 Amps), fresh water, marine gas station (fuel delivery on board by pipe), three restaurants, two dive clubs and various repair shops.

A French Polynesia yacht charter vacation offers a mesmerizing selection of things to see and do. Here is our small selection of some of the most outstanding:

Don't Miss:

• The Pā'ōfa'i Gardens, Papeete, Tahiti : within easy walking distance of the port of Papeete, the Pā'ōfa'i Gardens stretch for around 4.5 hectares along the waterfront and host more than 400 trees and plants from all around the five archipelagos of French Polynesia.

Tiki Takaii, Hiva Oa, Marquesas Islands:  the ancient archaeological site of Mea'e Te l'Ipona is situated high above the Puama’u village, in the mountains of Hiva Oa and is home of the largest "tikis" (ancient, human-like religious stone sculptures) in French Polynesia.

Motu Tapu Lagoon, Bora Bora:  once the private beach of the Queen of Tahiti in 1827, Motu Tapu lagoon is crystal clear and turns a vivid blue as the water gets deeper. Surrounded by stunning views, this bay creates a vision of an idyllic desert island escape.

Marae Taputapuatea, Raiatea: a newly-listed UNESCO World Heritage Site, this famous temple is one of the most renowned temples in French Polynesia. With hundreds of ancient temples spread across these islands, some of them still buried in the jungle, there are many for you to explore. 

Mount Aorai, Tahiti:  Aorai is the second highest peak in French Polynesia, after Orohena. Generating phenomenal views throughout the hike, this 9.5-mile walk is one to remember. 

Tiputa Pass, Rangiroa: t he most famous dive site in French Polynesia. This is a dive you can repeatedly perform, day after day, and still, be astonished by what you may see each time. From great hammerhead sharks to manta rays and turtles, there is a huge variety of wild and wonderful marine life found here. 

French Polynesia's vast scattering of islands means there is something to suit everyone; from adventure and wildlife enthusiasts to beachgoers and sun worshippers. The region is also ideal for diving enthusiasts, notably in the Society Islands and the Tuamotus islands, which provide some of the most memorable diving sites across the globe. 

Particularly idyllic and charming, it is no surprise French Polynesia is also a top destination when it comes to weddings and honeymoons. The islands are like paradise on earth and provide the perfect backdrop to any romantic event. 

French Polynesia has an incredibly rich culture and historic background which can be seen and felt as soon as you visit the region. The first people to observe Tahiti and French Polynesia’s other isolated islands migrated from Southeast Asia roughly 4,000 years ago. Today, many residents are descendants of the brave sailors who navigated their way here on wooden canoes stitched with natural fibers.

Tahitians have a mindset that revolves around a philosophy known as  aita pea pea , or ‘ not to worry .’ Many Tahitian traditions and oral legends date back to their Maohi ancestors, including the bamboo huts built with pandanus roofs they still live in and the colorful pareus they still wear.

As well as its beautiful islands and swathes of beaches, French Polynesia is also renowned for its artistry which includes weaving, woodcarving and tattooing. Each sacred tradition tells a colorful story about Tahitian life, love, and their enduring relationship with nature.

Music and dance are also a huge part of their culture and each performance displays passion and vitality which was once linked to all aspects of island life. 

If you’re unsure about whether you want to book a motor yacht, a sailing yacht or a luxury catamaran for your South Pacific getaway, there are a few things you should consider first.

Motor Yacht Charters in French Polynesia

Motor yacht charters  are a fantastic way to explore all that French Polynesia has to offer, and with the extra power that you get from the high-throttled engines, you can cover much greater distances in a shorter amount of time, allowing you to get the maximum out of your private super yacht charter.

From large superyachts to sleek smaller models, and everything in between, there is sure to be something to suit your needs.

Sailing Yacht Charters in French Polynesia

If it’s a more tranquil and peaceful experience you’re looking for, then perhaps a  sailing yacht  might be the best fit; allowing you to relax and rejuvenate whilst soaking in the impeccable views. The dry season between May and October is the optimum time for cruising across this gleaming archipelago. While there is no shortage of clear skies and warm sunshine throughout the year; there are more events and festivals, less humidity, and greater availability of cruise dates during these times.

Catamarans  are also a prevalent choice in French Polynesia, offering more excellent stability, ample space and larger cabins, as well as being perfect for navigating the shallow waters and the famous picturesque lagoons that are found here.

There is a limited amount of vessels that are readily available in this region so if you are keen on renting a luxury yacht around these waters, we highly recommend you speak with a yacht charter broker who can advise you on which yachts will be available and when. 

For convenience we have listed the average prices for motor yacht and sailing yacht charters in French Polynesia below;

• For private motor yacht rentals in French Polynesia, prices can range from $45,000 to $826,483 per week, plus expenses
• For luxury sailing yacht rentals in French Polynesia, prices alter from $56,000 to $254,136 weekly, plus expenses

Taxes and service fees are set at 5% of the gross charter rate, to be collected before each charter.

French Polynesia is a year-round cruising destination with temperatures ranging between 28 - 31 degrees. Although the most popular times to embark on a private superyacht vacation are usually during the peak summer months, there are many different elements to take into consideration before you go. 

Tahiti and French Polynesia only have two seasons the wet season and the dry season. Between May and September is the most favorable for yacht charters as it is generally drier and the winds tend to be more predictable. 

The best conditions for sailing can be found in the Iles sous le Vent (Leeward Islands) region which is home to prevailing winds coming from the east at a speed of between 15-20 knots and up to 25 knots.

Between November and April is the wet season with an average high temperature of 35 degrees and an average low of 29 degrees.

Most yacht charters begin in Tahiti, French Polynesia's largest island. Papeete , a port city on Tahiti, is the capital of French Polynesia and is a great starting point for those wanting to explore the surrounding islands. 

Guests can embark on their superyacht at one of Tahiti's main Pacific hubs, Marina Taina or Papeete Port . Papeete is a city bustling with life, you will find that you are within walking distance of excellent dining and shopping facilities. 

One of the largest urban centers in the South Pacific, Papatee itself is a gracious and elegant tropical city with tall palm trees and an abundance of flowers hugging the city. From here you can cruise to the nearby Mo'orea , Raiatea and the additional Society Islands .

Others may prefer to start their charter in the region of Raiatea on Thaiti island which is where another popular marina is located. You can fly to the international airport in Papeete and then catch a connecting flight to Raiatea (Uturoa Airport) with Air Tahiti.

Raiatea is the ideal location to begin your yacht charter venture thanks to its close proximity to Tahiti's sister island, Mo'orea. Only 17km away, this island explodes majestically out of the crystal clear ocean into vertical peaks and is surrounded by a wide, shallow lagoon. Home to two beautiful bays, Opunohu and Cook bay, you'll find that you will feel instantly relaxed and rejuvenated within the first 24 hours of your yacht charter experience. From here, head to Huahine , Taha'a and Bora Bora for more idyllic cruising. 

For more advice please speak to your yacht charter broker who can help you create your perfect French Polynesia itinerary. 

Sample Itineraries

French Polynesia has some of the most scenic marinas in the South Pacific, boasting many fantastic amenities and facilities.

Tahiti, French Polynesia's main yachting hub, offers 3 marinas: 

• Marina Taina, Tahiti - an attractive full-service marina that offers limited stern to dockage to superyachts with controlling depths of 4-15 meters. 
• Marina de Papeete - a highly recommended marina located in the heart of the city that can home yachts of less than 20 meters LOA 
• Port de Papeete - beautiful port, has great security and is recommended for larger superyachts with multiple crew members. 

Marinas outside of Tahiti include: 

• Maikai Marina, Bora Bora - offers berthing for yachts up to 45m (150ft) 

Serene anchorages trickle all around the tropical islands of French Polynesia, giving way to labyrinthine coves and perfectly scalloped bays that provide a thrilling experience for yacht charter guests. With dozens of delightful anchorages to choose from, you'll have no problems finding the perfect place to settle whether you're wanting to soak up the warm sunshine or make the most of your yacht rental's water toy box. 

Here is a collection of our recommended anchorages across this region: 

• Motu Piti A’au, Bora Bora - on the southeast side of the island, this gorgeous anchorage is prime for those searching for a tranquil setting for relaxation. 
• Lagoonarium, Bora Bora - close by the popular St Regis Resort and the Le Meridien Bora Bora, this anchorage provides great views of Bora Bora and boasts incredibly clear waters, ideal for snorkeling. 
• Apu Bay, Tahaa - deep anchorage, beautiful setting and a large bay with plenty of room. 
• Opunohu Bay, Mo'orea - the water is 80 meters deep at the mouth and is a particularly popular choice for its magnificent scenery.
• Cooks Bay, Mo'orea - boasts picture-perfect vistas of the island of Mo'orea. The surrounding waters are great for swimming and perfectly clear for those wanting to snorkel.

ATMs are easy to find on Tahiti and near airports but more challenging on other islands so it is advised to plan your cash well.

Tipping is not expected or standard practice in the country.  That said, you can certainly tip for good service and in those situations, 10% is the unspoken benchmark.

French Polynesia is an overseas territory of France, and French is the official language. However, Tahitian is widely spoken, particularly in the outer islands, as well as in other dialects. Not many people speak English outside of tourist establishments.

Avoid daytrippers around popular hotspots by arriving either first thing in the morning or late afternoon when they all head back to their resorts.

One of the best places to visit if you're looking for a luxury escape, Bora Bora is globally renowned to be one of the most romantic destinations on the planet. Scattered with opulent resorts and beautiful vistas, there is definitely something for the entire charter party to enjoy here. Check out the incredible Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora for some inspiration, they also have overwater bungalows with pools as well as decks, allowing you to both swim on your balcony and jump off of it.

If it's island life you're after Bora Bora has plenty of unique anchorages and bays that you can venture to during your time here.

Romantic, charming and elegant, Tahiti is a popular and idyllic charter location thanks to its naturally made lagoons and passes which teem with abundant marine life and coral-fringed reef. Not only this but the island is steeped in beauty, indulgence and adventure, the atolls of Tahiti are primed for those wanting to explore in perfect privacy and it is here that one can completely relax, kick back and enjoy deserted sandy beaches. 

Mo'orea

You can't deny the natural beauty of Mo'orea island. One of the best places for snorkeling and diving, the island is home to some of the most incredible marine life. Those on a yacht charter vacation will get to embark on the most incredible experiences here from deep sea diving to swimming with humpback whales. From the months of July to November, humpback whales visit the waters around this island and can be seen on a regular basis, sometimes even inside the lagoon. 

Thanks to the island's crystal clear waters, the ocean around this region is home to some of the best snorkeling spots in the entire French Polynesia.

The Marquesas

North of Tahiti, the mystical islands of Marquesas are some of the most remote, yet accessible, islands in the world. If you're looking for a truly authentic island experience, you'll be able to find it here. The islands are known locally as ‘The Land of Men’ and are famous for their traditional Polynesia tattoos and artistry.  There are many local artisan markets in the main villages where you can find any unique and original gifts, from seed necklaces to carved bone earrings to giant wooden manta rays carved with traditional Polynesia designs.

The Marquesas is made up of two main islands: Nuku Hiva and Hiva Ova, both of which offer dramatic scenery and perfectly unique landscapes. Rich in history and culture, these islands are definitely worth visiting as they are simply unlike any other destination in the world. 

With an abundance of opportunities for adventure and exploration, Huahine is one of the larger society islands. From archaeological sites, picture-perfect beaches and superb snorkel spots, this island is the perfect place to go for a unique charter vacation. Be sure to visit Aveva Bay for a refreshing swim and soak in the impeccable views from Panorama de Tefareii.

For yacht charters in French Polynesia, we strongly advise booking well in advance of your trip to ensure you get the perfect vessel for your chosen dates. We recommend booking at least 3 months ahead to give your broker the time to organize the ultimate charter experience. 

If left too late, the selection of yachts at your disposal will be reduced. It is also useful to book early in order to secure a date when everyone in your charter party is available as the longer you leave it, the more challenging this will be. 

Your  yacht charter broker  will also need plenty of time to craft a personalized itinerary and enough time to book ahead for the nights you wish to spend in the marinas.  Advance booking will allow your broker the optimum time to organize everything down to the last detail to ensure your yacht charter runs seamlessly.

Conjuring up fantastical visions of an idyllic island utopia, Tahiti lives up to the hype with its dazzling white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, lush vegetation and volcanic mountain peaks.

TAHITI yacht charter

… and to Tahiti Nui and Tahiti It, the quintessential heartland of French Polynesia. Acclimatise to the local lifestyle on the beach at Pointe Vénus where shaded palms guard the distinctive black sands and historic visitors include Captains Cook and Bligh. Tread in their footsteps with a walk to view the peninsula’s famed lighthouse – the only one to be found on the island. Catch the action on Plage de Taharuu, a top surfing destination and popular weekend hangout for locals thanks to a long, crescent beach and great waves. Swap sea water for the jaw droppingly gorgeous sight of Faarumai Waterfalls. This cascading trio are a short forest walk away from civilisation and a not-to-be-missed experience.

Tahiti’s remoteness is no barrier to sophistication and the see-to-be-seen destination on everyone’s itinerary is Marina Taina. An on-trend locale patronised by the chic yacht crowd and populated by a profusion of local bars and restaurants, this is the ideal stop-off point to meet fellow charter guests and exchange travel stories. The food also merits a mention with a choice of local and international dining hotspots including Pink Coconut and Restaurant le Quai, both of which are renowned for their authentic Tahitian repertoire. Be sure to sample a freshly pressed noni juice, renowned for its antioxidant benefits and used for centuries as a natural remedy.

Add a spot of cultural exploration and make a point to visit Marae Mahaiatea, widely considered the finest example of a communal meeting place used by Polynesians for religious and social gatherings. The Mara’a Grotto is also a must-see with its vivid gardens, deep freshwater pools and fern-ringed hollow leaving inspiring the likes of French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin.

The itineraries.

There’s so much to see and experience on a yacht charter in Tahiti and our suggested itineraries will help you create a picture-perfect sail through the Society islands.

Society Islands: Raiatea to Bora Bora

Board on the island of Raiatea just a short 40-minute flight from Tahiti. Sail around Raiatea, Huahine, Taha’a, and end at Bora Bora enjoying many tropical anchorage stops at each island.

Board on the island of Raiatea. Enjoy more time to explore and stay at additional anchorages on this extended 10-night itinerary. See Raiatea, Huahine, Taha’a, Maupiti and end in Bora Bora.

Discover Tahiti and the Society Islands

Depending on your selected bareboat charter in Tahiti itinerary, visit some of these tropical highlights.

Tahiti is the international arrival point and is the largest island in French Polynesia. The interior of the island is pretty much uninhabited, it is mountainous with flowing streams and cascading waterfalls. The majority of Tahitians live in the capital Papeete where there are tourist attractions, shopping, fine dining and high-end resorts and spas.

One of the largest islands in the Society archipelago, Mo'orea is famous for its crystal clear waterfalls that tumble down from jagged volcanic peaks. Pastel coloured villages are nestled into a rain forest highlighted with pink and red frangipani and hibiscus. The surrounding lagoon thrives with vibrant corals and an abundance of tropical fish.

Huahine is the wildest and most secretive island of the Society Islands it is composed by two islands: Huahine Nui (big Huahine) in the North and Huahine Iti (small Huahine) in the South separated by a narrow channel. Both offer a luxuriant vegetation, white sandy beaches, small coves hidden from the eyes, coral desert islets, a lagoon with turquoise colours and much diversified food and fruit-producing cultivation. A real haven of peace for recharging the batteries!

Raiatea is the second largest island. Located 193 km north-west from Tahiti, Raiatea has an authentic charm thanks to its historical prosperity, legends and sacral mountain Mount Temehani, that stands at 772 metres high. To the south of Raiatea, there are beautiful waterfalls and the Faaroa river, that offers the possibility of kayaking to enjoy the unspoiled nature of this mystic island.

This unique island shares a huge lagoon with Raiatea, is famous for vanilla plantations and the cultivation of exquisite pearls. Visit a pearl farm and examine some of Tahiti's finest export before jumping in the sea at the 'coral river'. Glide over hundreds of colourful coral species while being pursued by a school of brilliant yellow butterfly fish.

The legends and romance associated with Bora Bora bring an almost mystical presence to the island. Part of the allure, are the towering black peaks that dominate the centre of this volcanic archipelago. The emerald waters of the lagoon and the surrounding barrier reef offer a kaleidoscope of colourful fish and living corals. For a fun night on shore, then Bloody Mary's restaurant is a must!

“Tahiti crew was very responsive and provided excellent help to us during the year and a half we spent in French Polynesia, from our departure on the Pacific Puddle Jump, through our time in the Marquesas, Tuamotus, and Society Islands. “

“It is more than pleasant experience to work with Tahiti Crew. At all times we are amazed with the level of service and care. Tehani and her team are very professional and efficient dealing with every task we give them.I highly recommend Tahiti Crew!”

“Tehani and her team did a superb job for us handling arrangements for everything from fuel and docking and maintenance services for the boat to assisting with visa renewals and arranging touring activities and flights for all the WildBerry team. They consistently delivered all their services with the highest degree of customer focus. My wife and I and my crew can highly recommend Tahiti Crew and will definitely use them the next time we go to French Polynesia (hopefully soon).”

“Doing business with Tahiti Crew is like doing business with pure Sunshine. Tahiti land of some of the most beautiful women in the world. Tehani and her crew guided us through the check in progress, helped us with repairs and watched our boat when we were out of the country. Tahiti crew helped make all of the tedious problems effortless.”

“Por la presente queria agradecerte todos los servicios prestados durante los tres años que el Kahuna estuvo en la Polinesia. Siempre dispuesta a solucionar todo tipo de necesidad para la tripulación y velero. Todo tipo de tramites, envíos de productos a distintas islas, aduanas, migraciones, exportaciones como también hacer amenas las estadías en puerto mostrando tu cultura y distintas actividades. Es un placer trabajar con gente como tú que hacen mas simples, segura la estadía y las necesidades de la tripulación y barco.”

“We spent almost a year in Tahiti with our “headquarter” at Marina Taina. Heirani and Tehani went beyond the call of duty to help us with check- in and check- out, obtaining our cartes de sejour, rerouting our watermaker to Bora Bora when it was late arriving in Papeete, and looking out for our boat during our absence… the list goes on and on!  They truly offer exceptional service with a smile and we can highly recommend their services.”

See the "First-Ever Floating Olympic Village" Where Surfers Will Be Staying

In a groundbreaking move for Paris 2024, surfers will experience a blend of luxury and competition as they reside aboard the Aranui 5 — which has actual beds.

The Olympic surfers have a lot to be stoked about this year!

In a historic first for the Summer Games , surfers competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics will not be sleeping in  the traditional Olympic Village . Instead, they're checking in to  a specially designed boat anchored off the coast of Tahiti. In other words, the surfers are living in luxury aboard the Aranui 5, dubbed the "first-ever floating Olympic village" by Olympics.com .

What makes this Village so luxurious? Well, unlike their teammates  staying in the Parisian neighborhood of Saint-Denis , the 48 Olympic surfers will all have private quarters with actual  mattresses instead of the infamous cardboard ones . Trés chic!

Why is Olympic surfing in Tahiti?

These special accommodations were made available to the surfers for the next two weeks since the competition  location is the French Polynesian Islands , in the central South Pacific, about 3,700 miles from Australia. The southern Tahitian beach of Teahupo'o experiences arguably one of the world's biggest surf swells, per The Associated Press.

According to Surfer , the Paris 2024 surfing event is the farthest medal-winning site from the host city in history. Teahupo'o secured the opportunity to host the tournament before the pandemic, having previously hosted the World Surf League's yearly tournament. It was thought that the French territory would be more consistent and challenging than the shores on France's mainland, especially given that swells don't reach their peak till the winter, per Surfer .

Inside the Aranui 5

These athletes are not only gearing up for their high-stakes competition at the 2024 Olympics but are also savoring an unprecedented level of luxury aboard the Aranui 5. As they prepare to showcase their skills on one of the world’s most renowned surf breaks, they are enjoying top-notch amenities and exclusive comforts that elevate their Olympic experience. 

The Aranui 5, a custom-designed dual-purpose vessel, combines the comforts of a cruise line with the functionality of a supply ship, per the ship's site . Although categorized as a small yacht, it can carry around 230 people in 103 staterooms. The boat has eight separate guest decks and an array of amenities. According to Surfer , the boat includes a reception area, dining room, Sky bar, and a dancing room. There are two conference rooms, multiple lounges, and a library for meetings and relaxation.

@kanoaigarashi i think our athlete village in tahiti is better than the actual one in paris 😅 #olympics #athletevillage #surf ♬ original sound - Kanoa Igarashi

Athlete Kanoa Igarashi , who hails from California but is competing for Team Japan,  showcased the ship's first-rate facilities in a TikTok video he posted ahead of the 2024 Opening Ceremony. Athletes can unwind in the video and computer room, shop at the boutique, or dip in the swimming pool. The boat even offers a well-equipped fitness room, a massage room, and a spa to maintain their fitness regimen.

Inside the actual bedrooms, athletes enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows and their own private terrace that looks out over the ocean. And, of course, they each get their own Paris 2024 comforter.

Beyond the sleeping quarters, according to Surfer , these athletes also have access to a dining hall around the clock, meaning they can chow down day or night. What's more, there is a tattoo studio on board, in addition to ping-pong and foosball tables, available for use during downtime activities during the Olympic competition.

Business | Baltimore Yacht Basin Marina at Baltimore Peninsula has sold, will be re-imagined

Baltimore Yacht Basin Marina, on the Middle Branch next to Nick’s Fish House restaurant and Locke Landing, has been purchased by BYB Prop Real Estate Partners, led by Marcellous Butler, co-founder of Baltimore-based floating home company Flohom. The purchase price was not disclosed.

The property was sold by Sagamore Ventures, Under Armour founder Kevin Plank’s private investment firm and one of the developers of Baltimore Peninsula, a waterfront community where a first phase of apartments, offices, hotels, shops and restaurants is nearing completion.

Before Sagamore purchased it in 2015 for $5.9 million, the marina had been owned by a group of investors who opened Nick’s Fish House in 2004. Before that, the marina had been city-owned with private management for decades.

Flohom, which offers fleets of floating homes similar to houseboats for short-term lodging, has a production facility at Baltimore Peninsula. The marina will be redeveloped with about 150 boat slips and eventually will house Flohom vessels for short-term and long-term residential and commercial use.

“Waterfront access is a cornerstone of Baltimore Peninsula, and the new BYB Marina will bring the neighborhood experience to the next level,”  MaryAnne Gilmartin, founder and CEO of MAG Partners, part of the development team along with Sagamore, MacFarlane Partners and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, said in an announcement.

Some of Baltimore Peninsula’s tenants include the Baltimore headquarters for CFG Bank, which occupies a nearly 100,000-square-foot office, and retailers Urbano Tex-Mex, LIVE-K karaoke, Inspire Nail Bar, Daily Grind and M&T Bank, which have signed leases. Rye Street Tavern recently reopened under Clyde’s Restaurant Group.

Olympic surfers sleep on a cruise ship in Tahiti, a first for the Games

TEAHUPO’O, Tahiti (AP) — Cardboard beds might be Paris’ solution to providing athletes a place to sleep for the 2024 Olympics. But some 10,000 miles away in Tahiti, where the surfing competition is taking place, it’s a cruise ship.

About 45 minutes from the surfing venue, the Aranui 5 ship is able to accommodate about 230 passengers in over 100 cabins, with eight guest decks, a spa and gym, according to its website. It’s anchored just off shore and the surfers, coaches and others take small boats to get back and forth.

“They have a wonderful location for the village, which is on a ship,” French Polynesian President Moetai Brotherson told The Associated Press. “It’s unusual, but they seem to like it.”

While media have been restricted from boarding the ship, athletes have shared photos and video on their social media that offer a glimpse into what the Olympics say is the first-ever floating athlete village.

“I think our athlete village in Tahiti is better than the actual one in Paris,” surfer Kanoa Igarashi of Japan said on TikTok, sharing a video tour of the accommodations.

In the video, he shows the amenities on board, including a 24-hour dining hall, fully stocked Olympic gift store and activity center with ping pong and foosball tables.

Matt Scorringe, a coach traveling with the New Zealand surfing team, shared an Instagram video from the ship showing a pool with a statue of the Olympic rings at one end.

On TikTok, German surfer Tim Elter posted the sea view from his cabin, jokingly tapping the bed frame, saying how it’s not cardboard like those at the Olympic village for athletes in Paris.

The ship helps alleviate some of the larger-than-usual crowds and need for new buildings that locals and activists said could affect the small town at the end of the road on the small island.
