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.

If you are interested in chartering MOGAMBO, please don’t hesitate to contact the Boatbookings team.

HIGHLANDER – The Forbes Family Superyacht enters the Charter Market!

HIGHLANDER, built in 1986 for Malcolm Forbes, the editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine boasts entertaining celebrity guests such as Ronald Regan, Baroness Thatcher, Liz Taylor and Sir Paul McCartney. Previously based on the East Coast of the US, offering famous “money tours” with her money-green hull, HIGHLANDER is now available for charter on the French Riviera.

Recently acquired by American financier Roberto di Guardiola, who has extensively re-fitted the yacht in a hugely sympathetic manner, she now feels like a yacht of the modern day but still boasts the prowess and tour de force of those who have walked her beautiful teak decks. Following Malcolm’s death in the 1990s, his son Scott recalled entertaining the late Baroness Thatcher and her husband Denis when he was seeking Republican Presidential candidate nomination in 2000.

Admittedly it’s easy to see why heritage alone may tempt you into chartering HIGHLANDER but with a new offering of 162-feet of living space, a classic tender, expansive sundecks, gym facilities and an outstanding design including her freshly painted dark and dominating hull she sells herself even without reeling off her impressive CV of guests.

For more information on this stunning super yacht like no other contact us today.

COSTA MAGNA Available for MIPIM 2015

MIPIM is the first major event in Cannes every year. The Croisette floods with people enjoying the spring sunshine in what is a magnificent mix of business and pleasure. As with many of Cannes‘ internationally renowned events, the vieux port is the place to be and be seen. As such, the most popular yachts book up very quickly, often up to 12 months in advance. Boatbookings are therefore delighted to announce that, due to a cancellation, one of the event’s premier yachts, COSTA MAGNA, is once more available for charter for MIPIM in 2015.

At MIPIM, a lot of entertaining and business is conducted with champagne glass in hand. COSTA MAGNA can accommodate up to 100 guests at port, as well as up to 42 guests when cruising, allowing you to host large and glamorous cocktail parties while the sun goes down.

As well as the impressive amount of space available on board, her interior is refined and elegant. Hard wood tables and finishings are complimented beautifully by plush, white carpets and deep and inviting sofas, lending an relaxing and sophisticated atmosphere.

Early spring sunshine is far from uncommon on the Cote d’Azur. COSTA MAGNA features an indulgent amount of outdoor space with a spacious and well appointed aft deck, perfect for relaxing with a cold drink. The open upper deck is well suited for large cocktail parties as well as private lounging so don’t forget to pack your sunglasses.

If you are interested in chartering COSTA MAGNA for MIPIM or if you are planning a last minute summer holiday, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Boatbookings team.

Showcasing the Best of the Vieux Port for the Cannes Lions

The sun is beaming down on the best and brightest of the advertising world as the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity gets going. Whilst not attracting the spotlight to the same extent as the Film Festival, the streets of Cannes are buzzing again and the Vieux Port de Cannes is full of stunning yachts once more.

ROBUSTO is certainly one of the most eye catching yachts to be gracing Cannes in the coming weeks.

Excellent use is made of the vast outdoor spaces on board. Aft there are large seating areas, perfect for relaxing and watching the world go by while at port. For those looking for more privacy, the top deck is a wonderful place to dine al fresco while a vast seating area on the forward deck offers plenty of space to lie back in the sun.

Below deck there is no shortage of luxury. 2 large salons offer plenty of seating while benefiting from the natural light streaming in through large windows on all sides. The cabins are similarly well appointed, bright and spacious.

WINNING STREAK, a beautiful Sunseeker 94, is intelligently laid out to maximise space without compromising the level of luxury or comfort.

Below deck, she is spacious and finished to an outstandingly high standard. In the salon, there is enough space for each of your guests to spread out and relax while the cabins are elegantly decorated and inviting.

Above deck is where WINNING STREAK comes into her on however. Dine al fresco on the aft deck, sun yourself on the flybridge or cool off in the jacuzzi. A host of options are at your disposal and will impress even the most discerning charter guest.

ROBUSTO and WINNING STREAK are just 2 of a whole host of luxury yachts offered by Boatbookings. If you are interested in chartering, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
