Brand New 2013 Heesen Super Yacht: CRAZY ME

We are always excited when we hear about the release of a brand new super yacht, especially when it comes from the Heesen Shipyard. Founded in 1978, Heesen has become one of the leading yacht builders, synonymous with excellent build quality, elegance and impressive design features. The latest release from Heesen's Oss facility is the YN 16250, a 50m all-aluminium constructed semi-displacement super yacht, which has been christened Crazy Me.

Her new owner is a complete visionary, pushing the design boundaries and creativity of the Heesen team to create one of the most advanced super yachts yet. Gary Grant was responsable for the striking exterior lines, achieving his signature swoosh from bow to stern. Another impressive design feature sees the use of formed glass, which provides stunning aesthetics as well as fantastic sound insulation throughout the yacht.

Italian designer Christiano Gatto was appointed for the interior design, creating a linear and contemporary design, which seeks to enhance the space on board. One of our favourite design features is the glass bottomed pool, enhancing light to the aft deck below. In terms of performance, the maximum speed is 21 knots at half load. She will be able to accommodate up to 12 guests in 6 staterooms, including one owner's suite, a VIP Cabin and four double cabins. She is due to be delivered in June 2013.

If you cannot wait to charter a stunning Heesen luxury crewed motor yacht, we have a host of impressive vessels that will provide you and your family with an unforgettable yacht charter holiday. One of our favourites this month is DALOLI, a Heesen 120, available for charter from Athens. Accommodating up to 8 guests in 4 cabins, she is the ideal choice for families looking to explore the Ionian Sea in style. We have a great sailing itinerary, which includes stops in Kefalonia, Lefkas and Zakynthos.

Cannes Film Festival, Day 12 – Zulu – Our Yacht Nominee:CALLISTO!

The glamour and excitement of the Cannes Film Festival is such that the final day is already upon us! The most prestigious film festival in the world has passed in a whirlwind of celebrities, fast cars, and flashing sequins. Yet it is also never one to go out with a whisper. The final day of the 66^th Festival de Cannes will close with a screening of the thriller Zulu by Jerome Salle featuring acting heavy weights Orlando Bloom who we know from films such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings and Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland, Ghost Dog).

It is an adaptation of the fantastic novel of the same name by Caryl Ferey which was awarded the Grand prix de litterature policiere in 2008. This powerful film sees cops, Orlando Bloom and Forest Whitaker team up in an attempt to bring the murderer of an 18 year old girl to justice in a South Africa still rife with racial and social tensions from the apartheid.

Taking inspiration from Orlando Blooms Pirates of the Caribbean, our yacht nominee for Zulu is CALLISTO! With William Turners affinity for sailing we thought that this stunning Nautors Swan 80 would be the perfect way to relax and unwind after two weeks of attending the hectic Cannes Film Festival.
