Chartering a Luxury Azimut Yacht!

Azimut’s are some of the most eye catching and visually stunning yachts available to buy or charter. It would be incorrect however to think that an Azimut is just an aesthetically pleasing yacht, as the levels of technology, build quality, comfort and safety features would match any other leading yachting marque. The true brilliance of the Azimut motor yacht is its ability to never look old. The philosophy behind the brand is to produce the highest quality product possible, with the help of skilled tradesmen, technology and the very best core components.

One of the largest Azimut’s available for charter is the stunning SULTANS WAY 007, available for charter in the Maldives. This motor yacht accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 sumptuous cabins, which have been designed to provide the ultimate comfort and luxury on board. She does not have a minimum charter length, which is quite unusual for a yacht of this size, providing great flexibility for potential clients. She is the perfect yacht for exploring the natural beauty of the Maldives and includes all of the latest Jet Skis and water toys to keep the whole family entertained for days!

If you are looking for something a little smaller but still has lots of deck space and luxurious accommodation, crewed motor yacht WILJIM is definitely a great choice for you! This Azimut motor yacht accommodates up to 6 guests in 3 cabins, available for charters from the St Tropez area. She would be the ideal choice for slow cruises along the Riviera and maximising your suntan, as she has a spacious Flybridge, as well as multiple sunpads! Why not start your charter in St Tropez and head down to the world famous beach clubs of Pampelonne Beach? Book your charters early to avoid disappointment!

Our final suggestion for an Azimut charter would be the gorgeous BIG BABA, available for charter from Porto Cervo, Sardinia. Accommodating up to 4 guests in 2 cabins, BIG BABA is the ideal choice for shorter charters, especially multiple days around the beautiful Maddalena National Park. She is a wonderful choice for those who want a visually stunning yacht, which provides elegance, practicality and comfort!

David Beckham’s Speedboat Fails to Sell at Auction

The Bladerunner RIB 35 used by David Beckham to enter into the London 2012 Olympic Games carrying the Torch, has failed to reach its reserve at auction, we can confirm. The vessel was expected to fetch somewhere around £250,000 at auction, something which did not, unfortunately, take place.

The Bladerunner was used by David Beckham, soccer player of LA Galaxy and advocate to London 2012, to carry the torch down the River Thames and under Tower Bridge, on its journey from London City Hall. The RIB was manufactured by Hampshire based Ice Marine.

The bidding of the vessel, for such Olympic paraphernalia, was expected to reach £250,000 (around $400,000) at auction, but that price only managed to reach around £180,000.

Spokesman Julian Roub said, “It was a very busy sale but the item was fairly highly priced and there was insufficient interest on the day.

“It may sell in a post-sale deal.”

If you’re looking to charter something similar, why not go for the fantastic Wally Tender 45, a great motor boat for day charters out of St Tropez and Cogolin. She is sleek and powerful with two 320 CV engines. She charters for between €2,200 and €2,500 per day.

Charter a Luxury Yacht to Keller Plage, Cap d’Antibes

Some way between Juan-les-Pins and Antibes on the French Riviera is a secluded bay – Cap d’Antibes. In the Cap, Keller Plage is a fantastic restaurant and beach, perfect for lunch on your day charter. We highly recommend the fish at the restaurant, and the Japanese Tuna entrée is absolutely exquisite.

If you’re looking for an alternative to sailing to St Tropez, but are looking for something as relaxing and memorable, why not charter out of Cannes, sail to the Iles des Lerins, where you can anchor in the pearly blue waters for some swimming. After working up an appetite, head to Keller Plage for a sumptuous meal and a relaxing time either on the sandy beaches, or on board your luxury yacht, with a drink in hand.

For your day out, we cannot recommend AQUA BLUE OF IRELAND highly enough. She is a stunning Sunseeker Predator 74, available for charter out of Cannes. She has sunbeds at the front of the yacht to accommodate at least 3 sunbathing, and can accommodate 10 whilst sailing for a day charter. If you’re looking to spend more than a day on board, she has 3 great cabins, which provide space for up to 6 guests. Please see below for a great video of AQUA BLUE OF IRELAND!

If you would like to receive more information with regards to booking your luxury 2013 charter yacht, please enquire through our website, www.boatbookings.com, where one of our Charter Specialists will be happy to help you plan the experience of a lifetime. You can also send your charter enquiries to [email protected], and one of the team will get back to you shortly with some proposals.

The Best Way to enjoy the French Riviera!

Millions of tourists flock to the South of France every year for their summer family vacations. Graced with a beautiful climate, history, cuisine and attractions, the French Riviera has something for everyone, no matter what age! Many examples of film reviews choose to locate themselves between Nice and Cannes, due to the close proximity to the airport. However, St Tropez is the destination of choice for many for a luxurious day out, which causes horrendous traffic jams every year. One way to avoid this is to charter your own yacht for the day from Nice, Antibes or Cannes and you will be in St Tropez in just 90 minutes!

The Riviera from the water is a completely different sight and even more spectacular. You are free to choose your own itinerary and we can help to suggest the best places to stop and swim, to shop and recommend some of the best restaurants in the world. A Cannes Boat Charter should be an essential part of your holiday.

Charter a Luxury Yacht to Nikki Beach, St Tropez

The French newspaper Figaro once reported St Tropez as the place with the most famous faces per square metre. As a top choice for plenty of celebrities, St Tropez is clearly a popular destination for all. A playground for jet-setters, celebrities and millionaires, St Tropez is a summer hotspot, yet can be busy to find a parking space for your car… so why not hire a luxury yacht to take you round to Nikki Beach?

Nikki Beach is the concept of an ultimate beach club; a combination of music, food, art, fashion and entertainment. The beach club is all about relaxation and extravagance, a brilliant opportunity to let your hair down while on holiday. With fashions shows, performances and parties throughout the summer season, Nikki Beach is a St Tropez summer hotspot!Nikki Beach St Tropez is in a perfect location to stop off on your day charter!

A poolside environment that offers fine dining on Mediterranean cuisine, the beach is a great stop off point on a day out with friends. Stay on until later in the evening when the party scene comes to life, and the cocktails (or champagne!) really start to flow.

So, if you fancy a day charter to St Tropez, how about chartering MISTRAL 55 from Cannes to St Tropez in well under an hour. She is the perfect day charter to get the party started on the way to Nikki Beach; her unique disco system is practically an onboard nightclub. She is a great choice for thrill seekers with a maximum speed of 50 knots. With a spacious deck and plenty of water toys, MISTRAL 55 is also great fun if you want to anchor outside St Tropez for a while before heading to the shore to explore Nikki Beach.
