In order to add a little boat fun for Facebook users, Boatbookings.com now has two quiz applications on Facebook. “Yacht Sleuth” shows the user images of boats and if the user guesses the right one, they gain points. “Port Finder” shows the user one of the world’s famous ports, and asks you to guess which one it is. Both apps give you hints if they are too difficult.

Thailand has it all – fabulous destinations, excellent weather, world-class cuisine, diving, snorkelling, and increasingly, excellent charter boats. We belive it’s the world’s fastest growing major charter destination, and our enquiries are rising dramatically every year.
You can sail from Phuket to see Krabi, Phi Phi, the James Bond island (right) and the extraordinary sights of the Andaman sea including unspoiled Myanmar/Burma.
Or sail on the East Coast of Thailand to equally famous destinations such as Koh Samui and Pattaya in the Gulf of Thailand. Regardless, you’ll have a fantastic charter!

Just back from the Paris Boat Show – we’re happy to say that we’ll be adding 100’s of great new charter yachts to our site, many in exotic locations such as Mauritius, Seychelles, Maldives and the Caribbean. One of the hottest boats at the show was, of course, the Lagoon 420 Hybrid, which we’ve written about previously as part of our “Green Chartering” initiative.
The Paris Boat show was very well attended and represented well by companies that ordinarily cater to the French market. We attend to find new yachts that we may not have run into otherwise!
