Super Yacht of the Week: SIREN

At Boatbookings we’re huge fans of Nobiskrug yachts, as you’ll see from our previous post on the beautiful MOGAMBO we love their sporty lines, the stand-out grey hulls and the huge amount of light that floods their interiors. A winner for us this week is SIREN, a favourite of Brokers Allison and Ben at this year’s Antigua Yacht Show. Ben said that SIREN was “streets ahead of the competition,” and we can really see why.SirenCruisingProfile

The World’s Best Yacht at the 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Following a thrilling Grand Prix last week in Hungary, Lewis Hamilton has closed the gap to team-mate Nico Rosberg to just 9 points. With the 2 silver arrows seemingly destined to trade blows at the top of the leaderboard right up until the end of the season, the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi promises to be an occasion not to be missed. Since its inaugural race in 2010, the Yaz Marina circuit has hosted the final of race of the calendar every year. The 5.5km track weaves through five star hotels and the stunning Yaz Marina and, with fireworks guaranteed on and off the track, there is no better place to crown a new Formula 1 champion.

On a yacht, you couldn’t be closer to the action if you were driving the car yourself. At such a fantastic event, amongst the most glamorous and wealthy people in the world, you will be the envy of them all on MOGAMBO.

Aft, her 3 vast decks are the perfect place to host a party for the race, with all of your guests being able to enjoy uninterrupted views of the action on the track.

During the day, there is no shortage of space to relax and recover from the party the night before; whether you are sipping on a cold drink while soaking in the jacuzzi or spreading out and soaking up the sun.

Stunning, simple and sophisticated. The interior is no less impressive than the outdoor spaces. Even those well-acquainted with the finest luxuries can’t help but be impressed by the magnificent styling and the indulgent volume of space available on board.

The Palme d’Or in the Port of Cannes – The Best at the Film Festival 2014

Cannes is alive and buzzing with anticipation for the famed Film Festival, beginning on 14th May. The iconic Carlton Hotel has been decorated to almost unrecognisable lengths promoting the latest Hollywood blockbusters such as the new Transformers movie and The Expendables 3. The beach clubs have been transformed into concert venues, party spaces and meeting areas and last but not least the prestigious old port of Cannes is filling up with the world’s finest super yachts ready to house the biggest names in film! We’re in Cannes looking at the most iconic yachts at this year’s Festival de Cannes…

In yachting size really does matter, and taking up the “Quai du Large” this year is MOGAMBO. An award-winning design from Nobiskrug, she has a simple yet truly effective exterior with mysterious grey hull and huge windows flooding the interior with light. The sleek exterior almost disguises the fact that MOGAMBO is of colossal size, weighing in at an impressive 73.55 metres. Comprising of three decks of contemporary opulence, this luxury super yacht offers everything from a beach club to a hair salon and meeting spaces to saunas. Impressed? MOGAMBO’s price tag is €600,000 per week, with a minimum charter period of 10 days.

In a world where tradition is everything, with white and blue being the norm, standing out is key. For Roberto Cavalli, standing out comes in the form of a beautifully painted pearlescent hull. From some angles the 40 metre Baglietto super yacht glows in a stunning teal, but see her in port and she’s a striking purple. Self-named RC isn’t on the charter market so we cannot confirm the interior but from the social media snaps of celebrities such as Made in Chelsea’s Mark-Francis Vandelli we see multiple animals prints and extravagant patterns. What else would you expect from such a famed designer?
