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.

London Boat Show 2013 Review, Part II

Following on from our first report from this years London Boat Show, Part II aims to round up the rest of the exhibition in terms of exciting new releases and charter destinations. We have already spoken very highly of the Predator 68 and San Remo Sunseeker models, but it would be incorrect to say that these were the only two yachts worth seeing.

There is always a lot of hype around the release of a luxury Italian product, in particular when it is from the exclusive Ferretti Group and Riva. The Iseo is designed as a ‘runabout’ and is the perfect vessel for those who love to cruise on lakes in style. Norberto Ferretti, chairman of the group states, “After the wooden classics like the Ariston and the Florida, which made the history of our shipyard in the smaller yacht range, Riva today has introduced another small yacht that encompasses the values that have made Riva the legend it is today: meticulous craftsmanship, uniqueness, elegance and painstaking attention to detail.” Are you looking to charter a classic Riva? Look no further than the beautiful Aquarama on Lake Garda, accommodating up to 7 guests for a luxury cruise. She has a great captain, who is very insightful, professional and hospitable, ensuring you have the very best day out possible.

We met up with one of our closest suppliers at the show, who are based around Bodrum and specialise in bareboat and skippered monohull and catamaran charters. Have you never been to this region before? Please see the following link to our sample 7 day itinerary for inspiration on your holiday. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday, where you can explore the natural wonders of the Turkish coastline, including secluded bays and anchorages, then look no further than Turkey.

Have you never chartered before? At www.boatbookings.com, we welcome everyone from sailing professionals to complete novices and will help you at every step of the way to make your dreams a reality. We have a team of highly skilled professionals who are extremely knowledgeable in their destinations and will be able to help you with any questions you may have.
