Chartering a Luxury Azimut Yacht!

Azimut’s are some of the most eye catching and visually stunning yachts available to buy or charter. It would be incorrect however to think that an Azimut is just an aesthetically pleasing yacht, as the levels of technology, build quality, comfort and safety features would match any other leading yachting marque. The true brilliance of the Azimut motor yacht is its ability to never look old. The philosophy behind the brand is to produce the highest quality product possible, with the help of skilled tradesmen, technology and the very best core components.

One of the largest Azimut’s available for charter is the stunning SULTANS WAY 007, available for charter in the Maldives. This motor yacht accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 sumptuous cabins, which have been designed to provide the ultimate comfort and luxury on board. She does not have a minimum charter length, which is quite unusual for a yacht of this size, providing great flexibility for potential clients. She is the perfect yacht for exploring the natural beauty of the Maldives and includes all of the latest Jet Skis and water toys to keep the whole family entertained for days!

If you are looking for something a little smaller but still has lots of deck space and luxurious accommodation, crewed motor yacht WILJIM is definitely a great choice for you! This Azimut motor yacht accommodates up to 6 guests in 3 cabins, available for charters from the St Tropez area. She would be the ideal choice for slow cruises along the Riviera and maximising your suntan, as she has a spacious Flybridge, as well as multiple sunpads! Why not start your charter in St Tropez and head down to the world famous beach clubs of Pampelonne Beach? Book your charters early to avoid disappointment!

Our final suggestion for an Azimut charter would be the gorgeous BIG BABA, available for charter from Porto Cervo, Sardinia. Accommodating up to 4 guests in 2 cabins, BIG BABA is the ideal choice for shorter charters, especially multiple days around the beautiful Maddalena National Park. She is a wonderful choice for those who want a visually stunning yacht, which provides elegance, practicality and comfort!

Charter a Luxury Yacht in the Maldives

The Maldives are an atoll of 1100 islands 400 miles south of India in the Indian Ocean. 202 of these are inhabited, 87 are exclusive resort islands. These islands form an amazing sailing area, with unlimited secluded anchorages and diving spots. The Maldives are very close to how one might define paradise… clear blue skies, warm turquoise sea and endless white sandy beaches. Underwater you will fine around 3000 coral reefs, and water so clear that you can see fish fifty metres away. If this sounds exciting, why not charter a luxury yacht to the Maldives and explore the waters yourself.

Diving in the Maldives is extremely popular, and it is understandable why! Take the chance to discover over one thousand species of fish and other water-dwelling creatures, from schools of colourful fish to manta rays and sharks which are all lured in to the Maldives by its monsoon tides and abundance of food. Plunging in to these warm waters will surely be an experience of a lifetime; even when you are still on your yacht it’s amazing enough to know that thousands of tropical fish are swimming just beneath you, inviting you to explore their own underwater world. You may even get to try night diving, when the coral comes to life searching for its food, as do the creatures that live within it.

If this has enticed you to charter a luxury yacht in the Maldives, how about THE SULTANS WAY 007, an Azimut 103S. She is a perfect luxury charter yacht, based in Male, and has inclusive use of scuba diving equipment; she also comes with snorkel gear if you fancy exploring the shallower waters and jet skis if you feel the need for some speed. After spending the day exploring the waters, sit back and relax on board, whether dining inside or chilling on deck with a few drinks, THE SULTANS WAY 007 will provide you with an unforgettable holiday.

If you would like to receive more information with regards to booking your luxury 2013 charter yacht in the Maldives, please enquire through our website, www.boatbookings.com, where one of our Charter Specialists will be happy to help you plan the experience of a lifetime. You can also send your charter enquiries to [email protected], and one of the team will get back to you shortly with some proposals.
