Chartering a Crewed Monohull in Fiji and French Polynesia

Thailand-and-South-East-Asia-are-waiting-to-be-explored

Are you fed up of going to the same destination every year? Are you looking to be inspired with new exciting destinations to spend your vacations? At Boatbloggings.com, we like to help you think outside of the box and provide inspiration for your travels, no matter whether you are looking for an adrenalin packed adventure holiday or a relaxing one. With many people choosing Europe or the Caribbean for the majority of their holidays, we have put our heads together to suggest alternative destinations, where you will find all of the same luxuries without the crowds. We would recommend the Seychelles for sailing and catamaran charters, as well as the Maldives and Thailand. If you are looking for something a little different and further afield, have you thought about visiting French Polynesia and Fiji?

No matter whether you are a complete novice or an advanced sailor, we have the right yacht for you. One of our most popular crewed monohulls is this Jeanneau 494, captained by the experienced Steele, whose expertise on the local area makes for an unforgettable charter experience. You may be thinking that chartering a yacht in Fiji will be out of your budget but this yacht will compare to any high end hotel and provides extra space, comfort and privacy for all guests on board. Her 3 cabins makes this an idea choice for family adventures around one of the most beautiful parts of the world.

Are you still not convinced that this yacht is for you? We’re convinced that when you read the following review, you won’t have any more doubts!

“Hi Kevin, We had a fabulous trip that exceeded our every expectation. I cannot emphasize enough what an amazing time we had. Steele took care of all the planning, fed us amazing vegetarian meals, and ensured that we had ample snorkeling, sailing, secluded beaches to walk on, wine & beer, and far too much food. I gained two pounds even though we swam at least two hours a day. Steele keeps an exceptionally clean and well organized boat, and his cautious approach to sailing and navigation filled us with confidence and left us with nothing to worry or fret over. Each day was a carefree, wondrous adventure. The pace was never rushed or hectic while also never being boring or too slow. Again testament Steele`s ability to read his guest`s moods and tailor the trip to their desires. The Insight we now have is how critical a role finding the right crew makes. Steele, Nick, and Lisa are wonderfully fun, witty, and caring individuals. They really worked hard to tailor the itinerary to fit our interests. Given the inherent proximity a sailing vessel imposes, it is critical that you enjoy the company of everyone onboard. In retrospect, having the opportunity to meet and get to know Steele, Nick, and Lisa was the best part of the entire trip. These are the kind of people you desperately want as friends and we look forward to sailing with them again. The only thing I would change is the picture Boatbookings has on it`s website for the boat. I would encourage Steele to send you a picture of the boat under sail with an island in the background. I know it shouldn`t matter but I think seeing the boat in an idyllic setting helps people better envision their vacation. Perhaps multiple pictures. D and I would also like to thank you Kevin for setting us up with such a wonderful crew in an idyllic location on such short notice.”

Charter a Luxury Yacht for the Cannes Film Festival 2013

The Cannes Film Festival is one of the global events which each year we look forward to. This year, the feeling is no different, and everyone wants to attend. We have some great availability left on some fantastic yachts, and with each yacht, we help you get a berth for the 12 day festival.

OUT is a stunning option for corporate events, providing ample space for all guests on board. She is 154ft, and with plenty of deck space and room inside, she is suitable for entertaining lots of guests at any one time. Her modern and bright interior create an extremely elegant yet comfortable environment for your charter.

GEORGIA ROSE is a 30m Azimut, and although slightly older, presents an excellent choice for the Film Festival. She has a more traditional interior and is smaller than OUT, but would, nonetheless be one of our personal favourites!

Heesen Yachts Unveils a New 58m Superyacht Design

The partnership of Heesen Yachts and Francesco Paszkowski has, in the past days, released a brand new 58m design. With stylistic elements taken from automotive and aeronautical vehicles, the yacht looks classy and modern, with  curved lines at every angle.

The design, from every perspective, has been thought through entirely. The sun-bed area on the fore-deck contribute to the sleek look of the new Heesen. Indeed the stern of the 58m Francesco Pazskowski yacht design is very distinctive with its swim-platform embellished with full-width steps, symmetric stairs around the sun-pads to access the aft deck and the two unconventional openings for the mooring springs. The elongated swim deck furthers the elegant image which this new design portrays, as she glides through the water with grace, seen in each image.

An unusual design feature, however, is located on the fore deck where a bimini lifts up to reveal and shade an open-air lounge space. Guests are accommodated in five cabins. The full-beam master suite is traditionally located on the main deck, while the rest of the guests are on the lower deck in two twins and two double cabins.

Whilst this stunning yacht isn’t yet on the market for charter, there are plenty of other Heesens which are. AT LAST is a beautiful 44m model, which oozes tradition and class. She is available for charter in the Bahamas, complimented with all the water toys you could wish for, including a fully inflatable slide. She has plenty of space in all cabins for all guests, and accommodates up to 11 guests in 5 cabins. With a crew of 8, your every need will be tended to and you will be sure to have the charter of a lifetime.

Make a Splash at The Baths when you Charter a Luxury Yacht in Virgin Gorda!

Virgin Gorda is the third largest of the British Virgin Islands, and a popular destination for anybody who is looking to charter in the Caribbean. Said to have been named the 'Fat Virgin' by Christopher Columbus, the island's profile on the horizon looks like a fat woman lying on her side. If you're looking to charter a yacht to explore Virgin Gorda, The Baths are a necessary stop-off point.

The Baths are situated about 2 km south off the main town Spanish Town at the southern tip of the island between Spring Bay and Devil's Bay. The beach here shows evidence of how the BVI were formed through volcanic activity. White sand beaches are scattered with huge granite boulders, which create spectacular grottos with sea pools reflecting the light that shines down on them. The boulders form an inviting maze, which you can clamber through as you explore. The Baths provide an excellent chance to marvel at the wonders the world can create, so taking your yacht around to view them will leave you stunned. Along with such beauty on land, snorkelling in the warm waters will also amaze you. Around The Baths you will find a great range of fish and rays; if you're lucky you may even spot a herd of seahorses in the clear blue sea.

If you are looking to explore Virgin Gorda and The Baths, GYPSY PRINCESS is an excellent choice to charter. A stunning Lagoon 450, she was one of the favourites at the BVI Yacht Show, where she won Best Catamaran Under 55ft. GYPSY PRINCESS has a very experienced and friendly crew, who will welcome you on board for an unforgettable sailing vacation. New this year, she has 3 spacious cabins and will comfortably accommodate 6 guests, whether you choose to spend time inside or on the padded sun deck which is perfect for catching some rays.
