Hot Yachts from the Monaco Yacht Show – LEO FUN

LEO FUN is a 2009 6 cabin Proteskan Turquiose launched 2009 and a big hit at the Monaco Yacht Show this year. LEO FUN is a luxurious 43 Meter Motor Yacht that has been styled and designed by Paolo Caliari.  Jean Guy Verges designed the sophisticated and luxurious interior.

She definitely was one of the stars from this year’s Show. What sets this yacht apart is her supreme elegance, but very much a masculine elegance, like a top hotel in Milan.

She is defined by the use of texture more than colour, mostly dressed in chocolate and coffee and fudge and vanilla, with an array of different tones to the materials and finishes creating an overall feeling of total class and quality.

She feels utterly luxurious; every corner is beautifully rounded, every cabinet and fixture making reference to the main theme of geometric patterning in the carpentry and wall coverings. She has a distinctly Italian feel, with sublime style and attention to every aesthetic detail. She is spacious and uncluttered, and is a fabulous addition to the charter market.

LEO FUN also has a cleverly designed exterior, a sleek silhouette with lots of open deck space on every level. She of course offers entertainment systems throughout the yacht, and all the water toys you could wish for.

Is the Indian Ocean Safe for Charter?

There’s been a lot written about pirates in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Somalia. And there has been some pirate activity within 60 miles of the Seychelles. So we’ve gotten a number of enquiries as to whether its safe to charter in the Indian Ocean.

First off, the Indian Ocean is HUGE, and there have been no instances to our knowledge in the beautiful and inviting charter areas of the Maldives, Mauritius and Madagascar. So if you’re thinking of a charter in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, we recommend you choose one of these areas.

Secondly, the recent hijack of a British couple was in open waters as they were sailing to Mozambique from the Seychelles. It is far safer to stay in standard charter areas, near the coast.

If you’d like to charter in the Indian Ocean, but have any safety concerns, we recommend that you speak to our Indian Ocean office – please contact them here.
