Cocktails and Canapés on board luxury charter yacht BEAR MARKET.

Luxury Yacht Charter Mangusta : Last night the Boatbookings team was welcomed on board a luxury 92ft Mangusta charter yacht for cocktails, canapés and to have a look around this gorgeous boat. With her sleek and sporty appearance, yet sophisticated and soothing interior, BEAR MARKET seems like a great yacht for fun charters amongst families and friends around the French Riviera. English captain Jim is a great laugh and the rest of the crew were wonderfully inviting, making it a truly enjoyable evening.

From the Chanel cushions in the cabins, the beautiful scent of Joe Malone candles drifting through the salon to the Molton Brown soaps and Ralph Lauren robes in the bathrooms, this Mangusta is a delightful vessel, fully equipped with the best of the best amenities on board. The gorgeous sun lounge area on the top of the boat, for adults only, is the perfect getaway (not just from the kids!) since it was easy to imagine the pure sunbathing heaven you would be in, anchored anywhere in the Cote d’Azur, soaking up the sun, being gently rocked by the sea.

And one thing that certainly can’t go without mention is the food! We were lucky enough to sample some of the chef’s amazing work…ranging from sushi to gazpacho that would nicely finish a day on your luxury yacht charter! The divinely presented Maki rolls and wasabi mayonnaise were made to perfection and a definite favourite amongst the guests were the Tempura prawns with sweet chili sauce, not to mention the delicious wines that came with it!

Why not Charter a Luxury Yacht for the Cannes Film Festival?

Cannes Yacht Charter in May truly is something that everyone should experience, enjoy sitting by the seafront observing the buzz of the Entertainment World from a luxury charter yacht. Only a few weeks away, everyone is excited to find out who will be nominated for the 2012 Cannes Film Festival which will be taking place between the 16th and 27th May.

Boat Bookings.com charter a range of luxury yachts in Cannes during the film festival from events to accommodation or even just to escape for a day and discover the beautiful French Riviera.

The place to be during the film festival is the Old Port of Cannes, situated right next to the Palais de Festivals where all the celebrities will be strutting down the red carpet for the most talked about event in the Film and TV industry. So naturally, the best place to be chartering a yacht is from this harbour, where you can watch the crowds of people and paparazzi from the comfort of a luxury yacht, where you will probably be rubbing shoulders with the stars of the festival. While the hotels are quickly filling up and you’ll be forced to stay further afield and pay the ridiculous taxi fares of the Cote d’Azur, chartering a yacht for your business or for pleasure, is a far more comfortable, easier and enjoyable at such an optimum time.

So whether it’s entertaining business associates or relaxing with family and friends on your Cannes yacht charter , we have plenty of fun-filled sailing itineraries covering the whole French Riviera, which would be just perfect to spend the days during the film festival. Or if you would prefer to dock in one of Cannes’ wonderful ports and take in the atmosphere, chartering a luxury yacht certainly isn’t a bad way to be passing the time at one of the most glamorous events of the Hollywood calendar!

Luxury Motor Yacht AVELLA…a Fantastic Charter Yacht for Events on the Riviera.

Motor Yacht AVELLA is an Azimut 105 that we recently visited in the Old Port of Cannes (see our luxury yachts Cannes). She is an extremely well maintained, elegant and spacious yacht and ideal for corporate events. She was chartered for the MIPIM just a few weeks ago and lined up for the MIPCOM, so she is very used to catering for big groups of people and the captain and crew are experts in doing so. English captain Gary Morton and his friendly crew are extremely accommodating and simply don’t understand the word ‘no’…exactly what you want when doing big events charters!

Up on the top deck of motor yacht AVELLA is a wonderfully spacious seating area, upholstered in stripes to truly give off a nautical ambience. We were told this area is perfect for meetings as it can be expanded and there was also an array of water toys, probably more appropriate for a family charter. On the lower deck is a great al fresco dining area with BBQ and fridge and a sunbathing area at the front of this 33.5m Azimut yacht for soaking up the rays.

Inside this Azimut motor yacht you are welcomed by an open saloon and sleek bar area decorated in a cream and mid oak colour scheme. You are then taken through into a lovely dining area where you will have the opportunity to experience some of the chef’s exquisite recipes. The 4 cabins are spacious and decorated in light, fresh colours and fit very well with the general sophistication and character of this luxury motor yacht.

Please don’t forget the Antibes Yacht Show next week, and also we have many day boats for hire for events of all types in the French Riviera – Please feel free to contact us at any stage, as our team is here to help.
