Charter a Luxury Crewed Catamaran Out Of Belize City – Part I

Belize is fast becoming one of the most popular destinations for chartering. With beautiful beaches and some extraordinary coves to explore, we highly recommend chartering there. For those who like to adventure, Belize is home to some stunning diving locations, and some exquisite backdrops for what will be the charter of a lifetime.

If you need to be tempted any more, why not check out our sample itinerary? One of our favourite parts to the itinerary is St George’s Caye, which provides a picturesque setting for a tranquil day on the water, from the luxury of your own yacht. St George’s is a private island, so you’ll be able to experience unspoiled beauty first hand.

For those looking to help sail, Belize is the perfect place to start, with clear crystal blue waters all around. You could even take a break and help the crew fish for your dinner, where Tuna, Mackerel and Cobia are often caught.

We highly recommend Belize for a charter with friends and family alike, where you can enjoy both the company of your guests and the activities on offer.

Stay tuned for Part II, where we have a look at some of the fantastic yachts available to charter in Belize.

Phuket is one of Thailands Best Destinations to Charter a Luxury Yacht.

Phuket welcomes millions of tourists every year and is a popular destination for honeymooners, heiresses and surfers, thanks to its cosmopolitan vibe and sense of paradise. Often referred to as the jewel in the crown of South East Asian yachting, Phuket provides amazing scenery, pristine beaches and spectacular dive and snorkel spots. What more could you want from a luxury vacation?

Catamarans are very popular for slow cruising around islands, providing guests with great stability and comfort. However, if you are looking to do some serious cruising in a short period of time, you may be inclined to go for a motor yacht. Before you make your decision, you should definitely think about a power catamaran, incorporating the advantages of a motor yacht with a catamaran.

We have a fantastic Schionning 43ft power catamaran available for charter from Phuket and is ideal for exploring the beautiful islands of Krabi and Phi Phi. This is a fully crewed catamaran, leaving your 26 guests to socialise and sunbathe on her large external deck. She can also accommodate up to 8 guests in 4 cabins for more intimate charters with friends and family. This powercat is available for charter without a minimum duration, providing guests with great flexibility.

Visit Antibes For Your Luxury Yacht Charter!

Antibes lies between Nice and Cannes along the coast of the French Riviera. It is often missed out as somewhere to visit, but we know better – with Port Vauban, the largest yachting harbour in Europe, Antibes is a prime destination for your luxury yacht charter! One of the main sites in Antibes, the Château Grimaldi, once a stronghold of Monaco royalty and home to Pablo Picasso, stands tall as part of the city's history. Antibes Juan-les-Pins has a reputation for some of the best beaches along the French Riviera, so why not head to Antibes to discover more about them?

So, if you want to charter in Antibes, here are some suggestions for you.

REHAB, a Sunseeker Predator 68, is a brilliant yacht for day charter. She is a popular choice with our team, and will make sure your experience of Antibes and the surrounding French Riviera is unforgettable! She can cruise with a maximum of 12, so bring along your family and friends for a fantastic day out. Or if you're looking to venture further afield, REHAB can accommodate 4 guests in 2 well-appointed cabins. Her crew will attend to your every need, and make sure you get the most possible out of your charter.

Another great choice for charter is OUTSIDE EDGE, a Mangusta 72. She is kept in pristine condition with a can-do Captain, who will make some great suggestions for your charter itinerary, but will readily make changes if you fancy something different. She has a great saloon deck, so on OUTSIDE EDGE you can make the most of the sun, whether you're up for some al fresco dining or want to top up your tan. There is plenty of space to accommodate up to 7 guests in 3 cabins, or 9 of you cruising for the day.
