All Eyes on Cannes – the Film Festival Arrives for its 71st Year

The biggest event in film is returning for its 71^st year in the beautiful South of France. For two weeks, Hollywood will take short-term residence along the French Riviera as a number of original films compete for numerous awards such as the prestigious Palme D’Or, Un Certain Regard, Best Actor and Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival (Festival de Cannes en Français).

Having been comparable to “two weeks at the Oscars” the Cannes Film Festival is entrenched in glitz and glamour, with previous celebrity attendees being models, actors and music artists alike, such as Rihanna, Nicole Kidman, Bella Hadid, David Beckham and Jessica Chastain. With Cate Blanchett heading up the panel as President of the Competition Jury, this year’s Film Festival promises to be as magical as the last.

Films to watch out for this year include the Spanish psychological thriller Everybody Knows directed by Asghar Farhadi, which will open the Festival. Some of the other most anticipated films being featured include Under the Silver Lake, BlacKkKlansman, Girls of the Sun, Fahrenheit 451 and The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, the Festival’s closing film.

Experience Cannes in its full glory during the 71^st Annual Film Festival; chartering a luxury yacht to witness this celebrated event is the ultimate experience. Charter for events, day charters or week-long rentals and enjoy the opulence of the French Riviera in true style. Enquire today with Boatbookings to find out more!

Leo DiCaprio Living the High Life on TOPAZ at the World Cup

The Fifa World Cup 2014 in Brazil got going with a bang last night as Neymar’s 2 goals guided Brazil to victory over Croatia, providing the hosts nation with the perfect start to their much anticipated campaign to become champions of the world once more.

Once the final whistle was blown and the party really got started, Hollywood superstar Leo DiCaprio seemed to care little about dodgy referees and angry Croatians as he sauntered back to the 482-foot super yacht TOPAZ.

DiCaprio has been keeping a low profile when out and about in Brazil but will have no such issues aboard the stunning 147m Lurssen. Owned by Sheikh Mansour, himself a football fan and owner of Manchester City Football Club, TOPAZ is the quintessence of luxury.

New in 2012, TOPAZ offers everything that your heart could desire. The stunning vessel features a jacuzzi, 2 swimming pools, a cinema and even 2 helicopter pads. Rumoured to have cost $678 million, she will do doubt cater for all of the desires of DiCaprio and his 20 guests.

TOPAZ is unfortunately not available to charter but that shouldn’t stop you joining in the fun and living the Hollywood lifestyle at the World Cup. There is still availability on a large range of stunning yachts, including this beautiful Numarine 78.
