Cannes Yachting Festival and Monaco Yacht Show 2014

Heading into its 37th year, the Cannes Boat Show is back under its new name, the ‘Cannes Yachting Festival.’ With over 580 boats on show from 9th September until 14th September, it should be a busy week for all you yachting lovers! The majority will be on display in the Vieux port of Cannes, but don’t miss out on the Port Pierre Canto side where the larger yachts can be found; there is a free shuttle service between the two.

One of the highlights this year will be OCEAN PARADISE – a 55m Benetti sleeping up to 12 guests in 6 elegant cabins. Owner, Singaporean Investor Adrian Lee’s love of contemporary styling is to thank for the stunning interior where the theme is of Zen gardens stylishly mixing with carbon fiber. She offers an extensive range of toys from her original space invaders machines on the bridge deck saloon to the latest sea bobs.

After the Cannes show, head over to Monaco from the 24th until 27th September for the Monaco Yacht Show. The world’s number 1 boat show will be showcasing 115 super yachts from 25m – 100m and around 30 luxury tenders. With an increase in the demand for new builds over 100m, the Monaco Yacht Show, in its 24th year, will be the biggest yet! You will also find an extended exhibition hosting 500 of the world’s most refined suppliers in the industry.

One of the stars of the show will be Eddie Jordan’s incredible Motor Yacht BLUSH. Launched in 2014, this Sunseeker 47m is sure to turn heads. Reportedly costing €25m, no expense has been spared on this beautiful flagship Sunseeker.

She accommodates up to 10 guests in 5 deluxe cabins. Her immense sundeck was created with entertainment in mind, ready to house the best parties on the Riviera with her tremendous dining area and bar. Her sublime interior exudes both style and space, with floor to ceiling glass windows throughout. Her chic dining room is fitted with side patio doors and balconies offering magnificent views of your surroundings

The team at Boatbookings are gearing up for the best September show season yet. Please contact one of the team to plan next year’s charter on board one of these breathtaking yachts. We look forward to seeing you in Cannes and Monaco!

Chartering with the Stars in Ibiza

The mid-summer parties in Ibiza are in full swing and it would seem that anyone who is anyone has upped sticks and set up camp in the Balearic Islands. Word has clearly got out that the best way to enjoy this slice of heaven off the coast of Spain is on a yacht. Made in Chelsea’s Millie Mackintosh has been spotted on the aft deck sunbathing topless and Neymar has decided that the best way to recover from a broken back is to kick back on the stunning PETARDO C.

There’s something for all you Justin Bieber fans as well. Considering Orlando Bloom’s popularity rating’s are now sky high having punched the Canadian singer, it would appear there aren’t many of you, but alas, it seems like there are still a couple of people willing to put up with him. He’s been seen off the coast of Formentera, trying out the latest and most exciting water toy, the flyboard while aboard ECSTASEA, the 86m feadship, designed and formerly owned by Russian oligarch, Roman Abramovich.

Bieber is about as good on the flyboard as he is in a boxing match, however the same cannot be said of his guest, Fast and Furious star Michelle Rodriguez who, when not cosied up next to her latest fling, Zac Efron, proves to be a comparative pro on the jet powered water toy.

Rather than sitting at home and seething with jealousy, why not get out there and join them? JAZZ OF MONACO is a fantastic yacht for treating your friends and family. The 30m Benetti has an astonishing amount of outside space across 3 decks.

Dine al fresco on the bridge deck before moving up to the fly deck to soak up some sun and then relax with a cocktail on the aft deck as the sun goes down. A week spent enjoying perfect days like this can be your’s for the excellent price of 53,000€!

For a truly unforgettable week in the sun, charter Eddie Jordan’s pride and joy, the brand new, 2014 Sunseeker, BLUSH. Sunseeker’s 155′ flagship is exquisite from every angle.

Above deck you are spoilt for choice. Each deck, forward and aft, is achingly cool, spacious and comfortable and there are few better ways to spend an afternoon that soaking in a jacuzzi, watching the world go by.

The interior has been styled meticulously, furnished beautifully and finished with no expense spared. In all, BLUSH is amongst the most desirable yachts on the charter market.

For a week that you will never forget aboard JAZZ OF MONACO or BLUSH, contact the Boatbookings team today.
