The place to see and be seen – yacht charter in Miami!

With growing interest, an ever increasing number of boats and plenty of sunshine Miami is place to be this winter! Every year, many flock to this centre of American yachting in order to soak up the guaranteed good weather and great hospitality. It is the gateway to both the Caribbean and the Florida Keys, combined with a relaxed but cosmopolitan lifestyle, great food and the home of the famed Nikki Beach club as well as many other fantastic destinations. Miami is truly the ultimate place to enjoy your yacht charter this year.

There is no better way to explore Miami's islands than by boat. And there's no better boat you can ask for than one designed by German sports car manufacturer Porsche. The 28 Fearless Porsche design boat oozes the German styling that made the company the icon it is today; with eye-catching curves and of course the super-cool sloping rear!

This boat isn't just about Porsche styling, it boasts American muscle as well, with an edited 550HP Dodge Viper engine this powerboat is perfect for thrill seekers as it can achieve an astonishing speed of 80mph! One of just 22 of this type of boat created around the world, it truly is the boat to be seen in, guaranteed to attract attention as you power along the golden coasts.

We have an expanding range of day boats in Miami, from large luxury yachts to sleek day cruisers. What better way to view this gorgeous and glamourous city?

Actor Tom Cruise Joins the Americas Cup Emirates New Zealand Team!

On Thursday 28th July actor Tom Cruise and his son joined the Emirates Team New Zealand that has now won an incredible ninth consecutive race of the Louis Vuitton Cup. After watching this in form team beat rival Luna Rossa Challenge from the team's VIP vessel, both the Hollywood star and his son jumped aboard and joined the 11 man crew in near perfect sailing conditions for an exhilarating demonstration of what these incredible yachts can accomplish.

Tom Cruise said “it was absolutely incredible, we got to work with the crew, it was remarkable actually, we thought we were going to get on and we would go cruising to the slip, and next thing we know I was on this one he was on that one, on the grinder, it was a privilege!”

Both father and son had a competition to see who could get the top speed on a yacht that is capable of speeds of over 44knots (50mph) thanks to their 130-foot (40m) tall wing sails, the equivalent of a 13-story building! Skipper Dean Barker even went as far as to say that “We had a nice reach back under the Bay Bridge, so Tom jumped on the handle bars and did a better job than I did. It was a real boost for the team to have someone like him come along.”

Emirates Team New Zealand also announced recently that they would choose to advance to the Louis Vuitton Cup Final that begins August 17th in order to give them more time to upgrade the yacht having won the round robin of the Louis Vuitton Cup.
