Charter a Luxury Yacht for the Cannes Film Festival 2013

The Cannes Film Festival is one of the global events which each year we look forward to. This year, the feeling is no different, and everyone wants to attend. We have some great availability left on some fantastic yachts, and with each yacht, we help you get a berth for the 12 day festival.

OUT is a stunning option for corporate events, providing ample space for all guests on board. She is 154ft, and with plenty of deck space and room inside, she is suitable for entertaining lots of guests at any one time. Her modern and bright interior create an extremely elegant yet comfortable environment for your charter.

GEORGIA ROSE is a 30m Azimut, and although slightly older, presents an excellent choice for the Film Festival. She has a more traditional interior and is smaller than OUT, but would, nonetheless be one of our personal favourites!

Heesen Yachts Unveils a New 58m Superyacht Design

The partnership of Heesen Yachts and Francesco Paszkowski has, in the past days, released a brand new 58m design. With stylistic elements taken from automotive and aeronautical vehicles, the yacht looks classy and modern, with curved lines at every angle.

The design, from every perspective, has been thought through entirely. The sun-bed area on the fore-deck contribute to the sleek look of the new Heesen. Indeed the stern of the 58m Francesco Pazskowski yacht design is very distinctive with its swim-platform embellished with full-width steps, symmetric stairs around the sun-pads to access the aft deck and the two unconventional openings for the mooring springs. The elongated swim deck furthers the elegant image which this new design portrays, as she glides through the water with grace, seen in each image.

An unusual design feature, however, is located on the fore deck where a bimini lifts up to reveal and shade an open-air lounge space. Guests are accommodated in five cabins. The full-beam master suite is traditionally located on the main deck, while the rest of the guests are on the lower deck in two twins and two double cabins.

Whilst this stunning yacht isn’t yet on the market for charter, there are plenty of other Heesens which are. AT LAST is a beautiful 44m model, which oozes tradition and class. She is available for charter in the Bahamas, complimented with all the water toys you could wish for, including a fully inflatable slide. She has plenty of space in all cabins for all guests, and accommodates up to 11 guests in 5 cabins. With a crew of 8, your every need will be tended to and you will be sure to have the charter of a lifetime.

New Releases at the London Boat Show 2013!

The London Boat Show 2013 is set to commence on Saturday 12th January at the ExCel Arena, London and is a great show to start the new season. The show does not only showcase some of the latest yacht releases from Prestige, Fairline and Sunseeker, but the very best yachting equipment and gadgets, as well as seminars from marine experts. With tickets priced from £10 and just £20 for a Champagne VIP ticket, the show is very well priced, especially when kids go free with a paying adult.

Two of the most exciting new releases come from the British manufacturer Sunseeker with the Predator 68 and San Remo motor yachts. The Predator 68 brings together all of the qualities from the previous model with its sleek lines, performance and comfort for 6 guests and 2 crew. Light has been maximised through the deck saloon, creating a superb lounge and all-weather dining area. Sunbathing fanatics will not be disappointed with great spaces to the aft and bow decks, as well as a hydraulic swim platform, making this yacht suitable to those who struggle with mobility. Top speeds are likely to be around 33 knots, with a cruising speed of 24 knots and a range of 300 nautical miles.

The San Remo luxury motor yacht from Sunseeker is a great all rounder, combining all of the qualities of a day charter yacht with the space and elegance required for those longer charters. Expect to see typical Sunseeker styling with sweeping lines, a classic or contemporary interior and great build quality. At 52 ft in length, this Sunseeker sport cruiser is said to be a joy for both driver and passanger and we predict this will be one of the most popular motor boats in its category.
