COSTA MAGNA Available for MIPIM 2015

MIPIM is the first major event in Cannes every year. The Croisette floods with people enjoying the spring sunshine in what is a magnificent mix of business and pleasure. As with many of Cannes‘ internationally renowned events, the vieux port is the place to be and be seen. As such, the most popular yachts book up very quickly, often up to 12 months in advance. Boatbookings are therefore delighted to announce that, due to a cancellation, one of the event’s premier yachts, COSTA MAGNA, is once more available for charter for MIPIM in 2015.

An Insight into Ibiza onboard Motor Yacht Sensei this Summer

Chartering a crewed motor yacht around the Balearic Islands has always provided guests with unforgettable memories, sparked by the stunning scenery, crystal clear waters and hedonistic culture. Ibiza is widely regarded as the nightlife capital of the world, yet La Isla Blanca (The White Island) possesses more qualities than the sole ability to host an unforgettable party. Whether it is discovering your very own private bay, sitting down to some of the best seafood in the Med or relaxing with friends at a luxurious beach club, Ibiza is able to please guests of all ages, needs and expectations.

Es Xarcu Bay

One of our favourite bays is close to the southern town of Porroig, where you will find Es Xarcu restaurant. The restaurant takes pride in its ‘virgin cove’ location, and consequently makes full use of the freshest fish and seafood, which is carefully prepared and cooked in a simple and authentic manner. Prepare yourself for prawns cooked on a charcoal grill, delicious paella with seafood and simply cooked fish with traditional sides. The virgin cove has welcomed some of the most stunning super yachts in the world, including the iconic Motor Yacht A from the Blohm+Voss shipyard, ensuring that you will be in good company.

During a recent business development trip, Charter Brokers Charles and Ben carefully chose to dine at Amante Beach Club, which sits overlooking Sol D’En Serra Bay. Amante won Ibiza’s award for the best beach club in both 2012 and 2013, which does not fully do it justice, as it would be able to compete with the very best beach clubs anywhere in the world. Whether you attend the early morning yoga class followed by breakfast, anchor for lunch or dinner, the Amante experience is one that you will remember forever. Make sure to try the stunning fish stew, comprising of poached monkfish, clams and prawns in an intense, complex, yet beautifully balanced sauce.

Sensei-Best-YachtSummer 2014 welcomes the impressive Motor Yacht Sensei to Ibiza and the Balearic Islands. Having spent a successful start to the season chartering along the French and Italian Rivieras, she embarks upon a new challenge to impress her charter guests in Ibiza and Mallorca this July and August.

At 39m in length, she boasts 3 stunning decks, which is perfect for entertaining, relaxing and soaking up the golden rays of the Balearics. Sensei hosts 10 guests in 5 spacious cabins, making her ideal for family charters, as well as being able to successfully accommodate large groups of friends. We look forward to receiving your enquiries and helping you plan an unforgettable yacht charter vacation this summer!

Hot off the press, the SWATH Electra Limosine Tender!

This year’s Electric & hybrid Marine World Expo saw the launch of the SWATH Electra Glide Limousine Tender. This revolutionary vessel is the world’s first Carbon Neutral Solar Hybrid  SuperYacht Tender that combines both the environmental benefits of solar electric sustainability with the no sea sickness comfort of an anti-roll SWATH vessel.

This boat, built by Nedship, is not short on power and is powered by twin 300hp Regen Electric outboards the Tender’s maximum speed a very impressive 45 knots. Her 20kw a day solar panels produce up to 7Mws annually, which at a speed of 16 knots is enough energy to travel more than 1,000 carbon neutral nautical miles, pretty impressive!

This luxurious vessel features a galley and and bar which means she is perfect for day expeditions and for exploring remote and hard to reach beaches and coves on your luxury yacht charter. Other mod-cons include hot and cold air conditioning, surround sound entertainment, two flat screen TVs and opening gull wing windows on each side of the craft.

Richard Sauter Head of design noted “The SWATH Electra Glide Tender takes us to an era of Responsible Luxury Yachting, where zero carbon solar power is a standard requirement and anti-roll, full standing spaciousness is taken for granted.”
