Escape to The South of France for a Gourmet Sejour on Motor Yacht NAJADE!

If you love your food, NAJADE is the yacht for you! Chef Christophe Fischbach uses the finest ingredients and naturally grown regional products to create wonderful meals heavily influenced by his travels worldwide. Boatbookings charter broker Cordelia recently visited this yacht for lunch and was treated to the incredible menu below:

The stunning Feadship NAJADE was launched in 1965 and has been meticulously maintained, making her look like she was launched just yesterday. Her tasteful decor exudes a feeling of luxury and gradeur. Her top deck is a truly marvellous place to relax and soak up the sun. Her 5 cabins will accommodate up to 9 guests. A multitude of watertoys including kayaks, paddleboards, waterskis and donut will keep you entertained for hours.

September Days at Bâoli Beach Club

The Cannes beach club scene is as popular and sought after as Pampelonne Beach in St Tropez, with the addition of the Croisette and its world class shops at your beckoned call. Bâoli Beach Club is located in front of the Marriot hotel and just a stones throw away from the more popular Carlton, Martinez and The Majestic hotels. With a miles worth of private beach clubs to choose from, why would you choose Bâoli Beach Club over the very popular Z Plage, Plage 45 or Vegaluna?

A Day at Bâoli Beach Club

Settle into the comfort and refreshing space of your lounger, whether it be on the wide golden beach or on the exclusive Bâoli pontoon. Enjoy an exhilarating morning of swimming, water sports and fresh juices! Everything quietens down for lunch where you can enjoy some of the finest sushi on the French Riviera prepared right in front of your eyes; also on offer is the freshest fish imaginable as well as French classics done with a refreshing Miami twist. After lunch is when the party really gets started – the arrival of the DJ signifies the beginning of the daily Bâoli party where people flock for the atmosphere and delicious cocktails after a long day of shopping on La Croisette. A classic Riviera beach club experience, with a welcome Miami twist of hospitality and service!

There is no better way to arrive in Cannes than by your very own private charter yacht. One of the most sought after yachts in the area is the majestic Mangusta 92 Scratch, based out of Mandelieu La Napoule. With a striking gun-metal grey hull, Twin 16V 2000 MTU engines and spacious bow and aft lounging spaces, it is hard to find a better looking yacht with impressive performance on the French Riviera.

September is the perfect time to charter in the South of France and there are many special offers not to be missed. Contact us for more information on chartering this September, whether it is on the French Riviera, for Ibiza closing parties or last minute getaways to Italy, Croatia or Greece.

A New Era for Sunseeker

A new era of Sunseekers is upon us. Managing director, Stewart McIntyre, is due to step down at the end of the month after five years at the top. The chairman of Wanda, Sunseeker’s parent company, Wang Jianlin has announced his intention to, “Transform Sunseeker to the next generation of success.” Here at Boatbookings, we’re huge fans of Sunseeker as it is so the prospect of further progress is mouthwatering.

HIGH ENERGY is the latest 28m Sunseeker to hit the charter market. Based in the South of France, Sunseeker describe her as “Daring and dramatic.” She cruises at 20 knots, is styled exquisitely, and finished impeccably, making her a superb balance of performance and comfort.

The contemporary yet elegant saloon features a magnificent blend of dark woods and light furnishings. Full length windows on either side offer uninterrupted, panoramic views as well as allowing natural light to pour in, creating a light and airy feel.

The 4 staterooms are superb, especially for a yacht of her size. All are indulgently spacious, inviting and traditionally styled. What else would you expect from the best of British craftsmanship? To top things off, zero speed stabilisers will ensure that you are as comfortable as possible

Above deck, HIGH ENERGY is just as impressive. Dine al fresco on the aft deck, soak up some rays on the forward deck, either under power or at anchor, or cool off in the jacuzzi on the flybridge, the choice is your’s.

HIGH ENERGY is just one of a range of beautiful Sunseekers available for charter. To charter your own, contact the Boatbookings team today.
