The Incredible Hulk on the French Riviera!

In the magnificent world of yachting there’s stand-out and then there’s BIBICH TOO. She’s a stunning new addition to the Peri Yachts range, at a spacious 41 metres she has an incredibly contemporary range of inside space combined with 3 secluded decks. All fairly standard for a luxury super yacht on the Riviera then, until you see the unusual colour combination to the exterior! Her emerald green hull mixed with shades of gold looking upwards is a completely original look, not seen on any other boat.

BIBICH had the same eye-catching green hull, however the new model dwarfs this boat by a game changing 13 metres. This difference is amplified by her unusually curvaceous behind, exuding a super-modern look unrivalled by any other. Then there’s the speed. BIBICH TOO is among the sportier large yachts, capable of churning out a very respectable 21 knots cruising.

Following a successful charter season, BIBICH TOO is available for charters on the French and Italian Rivieras. Not only this, but her registration means you can visit the golden isles of the Balearics too!

Flexible, fascinating and flamboyant – this stunning luxury yacht is available at the rate of €140,000 per week. Contact us or visit www.boatbookings.com for more information!

The Blue Peter – The Number One Yacht for Regatta Charters!

On Sunday, Tom from the Boatbookings Team was lucky enough to get out on the water for an afternoon of sailing on board THE BLUE PETER. Built in 1930, she has been under the ownership of owner/skipper Mat for 13 years. THE BLUE PETER and the ocean are evidently two of Mat’s greatest passions in life! He has nurtured her and restored her into the beautiful condition that she is now in – a true labor of love! THE BLUE PETER is currently undergoing a comprehensive refit following the installation of a completely new mast. Her new mast is 2.5m taller than her previous one and, with a larger mainsail, this makes her even faster and more spectacular than she was before!

She has had many successful regatta outings over the years, this year being no different. She has consistently been one of the top competitors with strong performances in the Monaco Classics Week, Regatta Royales in Cannes and Les Voiles de St Tropez.
