A New Era for Sunseeker

A new era of Sunseekers is upon us. Managing director, Stewart McIntyre, is due to step down at the end of the month after five years at the top. The chairman of Wanda, Sunseeker’s parent company, Wang Jianlin has announced his intention to, “Transform Sunseeker to the next generation of success.” Here at Boatbookings, we’re huge fans of Sunseeker as it is so the prospect of further progress is mouthwatering.

HIGH ENERGY is the latest 28m Sunseeker to hit the charter market. Based in the South of France, Sunseeker describe her as “Daring and dramatic.” She cruises at 20 knots, is styled exquisitely, and finished impeccably, making her a superb balance of performance and comfort.

The contemporary yet elegant saloon features a magnificent blend of dark woods and light furnishings. Full length windows on either side offer uninterrupted, panoramic views as well as allowing natural light to pour in, creating a light and airy feel.

The 4 staterooms are superb, especially for a yacht of her size. All are indulgently spacious, inviting and traditionally styled. What else would you expect from the best of British craftsmanship? To top things off, zero speed stabilisers will ensure that you are as comfortable as possible

Above deck, HIGH ENERGY is just as impressive. Dine al fresco on the aft deck, soak up some rays on the forward deck, either under power or at anchor, or cool off in the jacuzzi on the flybridge, the choice is your’s.

HIGH ENERGY is just one of a range of beautiful Sunseekers available for charter. To charter your own, contact the Boatbookings team today.

Cutting Edge Technology Unveiled in Monte Carlo

Racing is as much a part of Monaco as tennis is a part of Wimbledon. Earlier this year, thousands of spectators watched as Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton furthered Mercedes domination at the Monaco Grand Prix in a season which has seen a huge step forward in the engineering in the cars and a move to hybrid engines. The racing in Monaco is far from over however and the boating world is certainly not being left behind in terms of innovation as the Solar1 cup came to Monte Carlo.

29 teams from 11 different countries arrived with their entirely solar powered boats for a weekend of racing. The President of Solar1, Sergei Dobroserdov, sees Solar1, “As a great opportunity to animate and excite a new generation.” The likes of Mangusta are as popular as ever in the yachting industry but, just as the Toyota Prius has come to rival V8 powered sports cars, so we might anticipate a new range of luxury yachts in the near future.

For those of you who are worried that a new era of fuel efficient yachts will come at the expense of design, luxury and comfort, look no further than M OCEAN. She showcases fine Italian design with every conceivable comfort whilst 8 solar panels power all of the electrics on board and the hybrid engine allows her to travel up to 8 knots in total silence.

On board, the stunning aft deck is vast and merges seamlessly with an elegant and airy, open-plan salon. Those looking to work on their tan can happily spent hours on large sun pads on the flydeck or soaking in the jacuzzi on the forward main deck.

Below deck the saloons are magnificently lit by large windows offering panoramic views but pull the blinds down and enjoy an intimate cosy atmosphere in which to enjoy a film in the evening.

M OCEAN is available to charter in the South of France. If you are interested in chartering her or any of our extensive range of yachts, please don’t hesitate to contact the Boatbookings team.

The Best of the BVI!

The freedom to explore in supreme luxury and comfort is what sets yacht charters apart from other types of holiday. Whether you are on a 30 foot sailing yacht or a 100m super yacht, you are free to cruise around and visit as many places as you wish. A great place to take advantage of this freedom is in the BVI. You will have to return to this beautiful corner of the Caribbean more than once to experience all that is on offer but that is not to say that a week is not enough time to explore and enjoy this slice of heaven.

Who hasn’t dreamed of having their own desert island. On Sandy Spit, just off Jos Van Dyke, indulge your dream, if only for a few hours. A beautiful place to stop for lunch and with terrific snorkelling in the coral reef, this tiny island is perfect for a day trip.

Once you’ve escaped the outside world for long enough, head over to Willy T’s to cool off with a cocktail. This old schooner off the coast of Norman Island serves simple food for lunch and dinner before the party starts in the evenings.

LA MANGUITA is a superb yacht to enjoy the best of the BVI on. She is spacious and comfortable on board and, with a top speed of 24 knots, you’ll get wherever you want to be in a hurry.

Below deck, the contemporary finish with deep leather sofas and hard wood floors is wonderfully elegant and cool. The cabins are spacious, well-lit and indulgently comfortable.

Above deck, dine al fresco on the beautiful aft deck and relax in the sun on the flybridge. LA MANGUITA has everything that you need to enjoy an unforgettable charter in the Caribbean.

If you are interested in chartering in the Caribbean, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Boatbookings team.
