An insight into the Helsinki International Boat Show

Today marks the start of this years 10 day Helsinki International Boat Show, which is Finland’s most popular boating fair and the largest in all of the Nordic countries. The show will take place at the Helsinki Exhibition & Convention Centre, with this year’s special focus on sailing, as well as other activities related to yachting and outdoor life. The British luxury yachting manufacturer Sunseeker, renowned for offering great build quality and style, will be showcasing their new and exciting Portofino 40, as well as the Predator 53 and 68. If you did not get a chance to look at these at the London Boat Show, you should definitely take a look here to see the next generation of some of the most popular luxury motor yachts on the charter market.

Boatbookings View from the London Boat Show 2013: “Compared to the previous model, the 68 has improved on every level. The entertaining spaces are second to none, in particular an incredible aft deck, featuring some of the best sunbathing spaces that we’ve seen. Accommodation is provided in 3 cabins, including a master and a double VIP, which are designed in typical Sunseeker style. Sophistication and luxury are two words that go hand in hand with this yacht.”

If you like the look of this model, why not charter something similar. Whether you want to charter in the Mediterranean or the Americas, we have a great range of yachts for you. You should really look at AGUILA, a luxury Sunseeker Predator 73 which is available for charter from Cancun, Mexico. She is available for both day charters and multiple day charters, providing guests with not only luxury, comfort and style, but great flexibility! Check out one of the up and coming yachting areas, home to crystal clear waters, endless days of sunshine and a fascinating culture.
