Brand New San Lorenzo Luxury Yacht, LADY CECILIA

The team at Boatbloggings.com is always excited to hear about the newest yacht concepts and releases and the delivery of the latest San Lorenzo SD122 is no exception. The 38m luxury motor yacht LADY CECILIA has just been delivered to her owner in Hong Kong, creating great excitement and celebration in Asia and the Far East for both the local public and the Italian luxury yacht manufacturer respectively.

The super yacht began its journey from the Italian port of Genoa on board a cargo ship, before passing through the Suez canal and the Indian Ocean, with stops in Singapore, Jakarta and China. She arrived safely in Hong Kong after 39 days of travel and sat beautifully in the water to the delight of her new owner.

The celebrations did not stop there, as the Far East is one of the company’s largest emerging markets with the recent sale of a 46m tri-deck super yacht, which is due for delivery in 2014. One of our favourite San Lorenzo luxury charter yachts is MARCELINA OF LONDON, a 88ft motor yacht, accommodating up to 10 guests in 4 stunning cabins. She has a spectacular Flybridge, which is perfect for soaking up the rays with your closest friends and family. Available for charter on the French Riviera, this luxury charter yacht is the ideal choice for your charters around St Tropez, Monaco and Corsica.

Luxury Yacht Charters at the Antigua Yacht Show 2012

The prestigious Antigua Yacht Show 2012 commences this Sunday at the Nelson’s Dockyard Marina in English Harbour, the Falmouth Harbour Marina and the Antigua Yacht Club Marina. This charter yacht show presents 98 vessels on show ranging from crewed sailboats and catamarans to super yachts, making this show the ideal opportunity for brokers to take a look at the very latest luxury yachts available for the upcoming charter season in the Caribbean. The show grew in popularity with the increase in tourism, as Antigua became an accessible destination, which prides itself on its hospitality, the friendliness of the locals and the fact that part of the island has dedicated itself to the servicing of the yachting industry.

Past shows have proven successful, yet we believe the Antigua Boat Show 2012 is about to exceed all previous shows. Firstly, the yachts on show this year are the best that we have seen, with the latest Sunreef Crewed and Power Catamarans, prestigious Nautors Swan monohulls and luxury CRN super yachts. Attendee’s will also be able to see the worlds largest catamaran HEMISPHERE on show this year, which is definitely worth a visit after our great review of her at the Monaco Yacht Show 2011.

One of the boats that we are most looking forward to see is the luxury sailing yacht REE, a 115 Valdettaro, with accommodation for up to 10 guests in 5 sumptuous cabins. She epitomises the style, elegance and quality of all of the yachts on show at the Antigua Boat Show. She offers all of the luxuries that you would expect to find on a 40m Motor Yacht after her $2.5m refit in 2011. Available for charter in the Caribbean in the winter, you should definitely make the most of her water toys and great can-do crew.

Alternatively, one of our favourite crewed luxury super yachts on show at this years show is SHERAKHAN. This Ververk 228 epitomises luxury and is the perfect yacht to entertain a large number of friends and family, with accommodation for up to 26 guests in 13 cabins. Each suite is extremely spacious, measuring from 30m up to 50m squared. She features a BBQ, Jacuzzi, Jetski’s and enough water toys to keep everyone entertained for hours. Available for charters in the Caribbean at Christmas and West Mediterranean in the Summer, SHERAKHAN is the perfect yacht for those who want to push the boat out!

If you would like to receive more information with regards to booking one of these yachts, please enquire through our website, where one of our senior brokers will be happy to help you plan the experience of a lifetime. You can also send your charter enquiries to [email protected] where our broker in your desired region will contact you and send you some suitable proposals.

Luxury Yacht Charter in Singapore

Singapore is an island country with a population of around 5 million. Its port is one of the five busiest in the world, given trade is very important in the country’s economy. However, the boats are not just for trading goods – why not hire a yacht in Singapore? It may be the world’s fourth leading financial centre, but you can do more than just business in Singapore.

Staying in Singapore: Raffles is one of the top hotels in Singapore; named after the founder of modern Singapore, Raffles is a timeless symbol of colonial opulence. Complete with spa, gymnasium and outdoor swimming pool the hotel also has its own shopping arcade and museum. Raffles is also where the cocktail, the Singapore Sling, was created in the hotel’s Long Bar. Offering a range of suites to stay in, restored to the grand style of its heyday in 1915, Raffles offers a luxury accommodation to visitors in Singapore.

Shopping in Singapore: The city’s most exciting retail hub, Orchard Road, has many upmarket shopping malls, such as ION Orchard and Paragon. These malls boast high-end fashion brands including the likes of Gucci and Louis Vuitton. With such a wide range of shops available in the premier shopping district, Orchard Road will surely be an unforgettable shopping experience.

Eating in Singapore: Chatterbox, also on Orchard Road, serves local heritage cuisines which are now famous both locally and worldwide thanks to this restaurant at the Mandarin Orchard. For forty years the award winning Mandarin Chicken Rice has been one of the most sought after Singaporean dishes, yet Chatterbox also serves Western favourites along with many Asian dishes. Given Singapore’s importance in the financial world, it would make a great location for a luxury yacht charter for a corporate event.

Why not charter a luxury catamaran in Singapore, such as the Cumberland 46, which can take up to 23 guests. With three outside areas, there is plenty of space to host an event in style and enjoy views of the city skyline while sailing around the southern islands of Singapore.
