A Guide to Chartering a Luxury Yacht on the French Riviera Part I

The French Riviera is the perfect destination for your luxury summer charter. We have so much to offer all the way along the coast of the Côte D’Azur, as it’s such a popular destination with our clients. Whether you’re looking for a sailing yacht or motor yacht, bareboat or crewed, there’s something for you along this coastline. The French Riviera is home to glitz and glamour, good weather and great food. This section of the Mediterranean coastline is so inviting, but the roads can get pretty busy sometimes – the best way to explore the Côte D’Azur is on your own private charter yacht.

Monaco.
Home to House of Grimaldi and the Monaco Grand Prix, this may be the second smallest principality in the world but it knows how to get noticed. With the prestigious Casino de Monte Carlo and Hotel de Paris, Monaco is a great place to explore, whether you choose to start your charter here or visit as part of your itinerary.

A great choice for a day charter out of Monaco is DIABLO, a Cantieri Navali del Mediterraneo. Devilishly good looking, she cruises at 38 knots, so is perfect if you have a need for speed and style. Accommodating up to 10 guests, DIABLO is available to charter from 4,200 € per day.

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

Following on from Part I of our Belize blogs, and having introduced a sample itinerary and the destination, we give you some ideas of the best yachts to charter in Belize.

Two of our favourite yachts for charter in Belize are both Lagoon 500s. Lagoon catamarans are a part of Beneteau Yachts, and are a fantastic brand of catamaran, offering both luxury and comfort in spacious accommodation. Catamarans are perfect for first time sailors, as they provide stability on the water, and a space that you would often struggle to find in a monohull of the same length.

DORIS is the first of our Lagoon 500s, she is a 2007 model, with 3 cabins accommodating for up to 6 guests. Her crew of 2 is great and for sailing enthusiasts, they would love to let you help sail!

Our second suggestion is the beautiful AMURA, which is also a 2007 Lagoon 500, which accommodates 8 guests in her four well appointed cabins. Her interior is gorgeous and bright, though the use of large windows, which not only allow the sunlight of Belize to shine through into the yacht, but allow you to gaze out onto the crystal blue waters surrounding you.

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.

A Luxury Day Charter Yacht: Miami

After our recent publication on this years annual Miami International Boat Show, the thought of chartering around Florida and exploring the Keys got us really excited. If you have never been to the sunshine state, there is much more to it than all-you-can-eat buffet restaurants and theme parks. Florida is home to the wonderful Florida Keys, Everglades National Park as well as some of the finest beaches, so there is something for everyone. When it comes to chartering a yacht in Florida, you have two great choices. You can choose between a relaxing day out with your family or a sport fishing trip and chance your arm at catching a huge Marlin!
