Boatbookings Onboard Oceanco 168 LAZY Z: The Quintessential Luxury Family Charter Yacht

What makes a truly superlative family charter is the combination of a magnificent luxury yacht and a long term, professional yet playful crew. LAZY Z not only meets but also exceeds these criteria.

Oceanco built LAZY Z in 1997, but you’d never guess her age because this stunning superyacht is graced with a timeless beauty of design and blessed by an owner and crew who keep her meticulously maintained, from the smallest knob on up.

Interior spaces are furnished with an elegant simplicity of design, featuring plush carpeting, supple leather upholstery and rich Indonesian bubinga hardwood against a backdrop of soft silk paneling. The palette of warm wood tones and golden hues is relaxing and inviting. The wide central staircase is a stunning and unusual architectural feature.

LAZY Z has accommodations for twelve guests in 6 spacious staterooms with a special cabin designed to delight children, right down to the teddy bears. With a 29 foot beam the true full width master suite, from porthole to porthole, is wonderfully spacious and filled with natural light. There is also a dedicated gym and the elegant observation lounge is an inspiration.

Even the radio room on LAZY Z is impressive, housing racks of state of the art equipment, including the Kaleidescape entertainment system storing over 3,000 movies, a capacity that exceeds yachts twice the size of LAZY Z.

We are not surprised when we are told that there is nothing on the bridge that is more than 12 months old. The CCTV was upgraded ten months ago; two new radars were upgraded eight months ago. The Servowatch integrated ship control system, which monitors the main engines, generators, bilges, water tight doors, all of those sort of systems onboard, is just eight months old. From comfortable banquette seating guests can peer at the high tech electronic chart system and the forward facing sonar, which gives a 2D display of what the seabed is like ahead.

Out on deck, LAZY Z has fabulous seating under a huge shade awning, and surrounding the Jacuzzi pool, which is only a couple of years old, there’s lots of sunbathing and, of course, you cannot miss the slide. This is a huge hit with all charter guests who, we are told, opt to use it every day. The owner of the boat is 72 years old and he uses the slide, preferring to go down backwards or head first. It’s simply awesome, they’ve had girls as young as three slide down it.

It is quite evident why LAZY Z is a very busy yacht featuring charters in the Caribbean and Mediterranean directed toward young families who, at the end of their charter, eagerly book a slot for the following year. The youthful and energetic crew boasts a guarantee that if you are a charter client on this boat you’ll be back again next year. We have no doubt.

Chartering with Children,  Super and Mega Luxury Yacht Charter

New Launch Destined for Charter: Feadship Luxury Superyacht 206ft. LADY BRITT

After chartering for decades the Scandinavian Owner of LADY BRITT finally decided on a Feadship of his own. With his extensive charter experience in mind, the Owner worked closely with the De Vries yard and De Voogt Naval Architects on the general arrangement and Redman Whiteley Dixon for the interiors. The emphasis was to meet his personal and family requirements and to create a superlative charter vessel.

The overall arrangement on LADY BRITT is dedicated to addressing the requirements of the most discerning yacht charter clients. Six spacious guest suites are located on the lower deck, two of which can be converted into one full-beam VIP stateroom, allowing two principle charterers comparably spacious and well-appointed staterooms. The master suite includes separate his and hers bathrooms and dressing rooms and a private study.

The main deck lounge and dining room comfortably accommodate fourteen guests who will be well attended to by the crew of 17. Other notable features include a wellness spa, Finnish sauna with private ocean access, outdoor cinema and voluminous exterior social areas.

Interiors incorporate elements of Swedish modernism with a Manhattan urban flair. The overall presentation is eminently stylish yet with the warmth and intimacy of Scandinavian design.

We will continue to provide updates on LADY BRITT, a top yacht that is certain to be exceedingly popular when she makes her charter debut. Boatbookings.com has exceptional yachts available for charter on our website at:  Super and Mega Luxury Yacht Charter

Oceanco Yacht's Project Y708: Slated for World's Top 100 in 2012

Oceanco continues to push the envelope with futuristic superyacht designs distinguished by never-before-seen features and environmentally conscious engineering. Designed by Russian prodigy Igor Lobanov, Oceanco's 280 ft Project Y708 is no exception.

The ultramodern profile is intended to impart a sense of motion, even when the yacht is at rest, an illusion attributed to the aesthetic continuity of the elegantly angular, beveled superstructure. Exterior spaces include a magnificent 20' x 12' infinity pool that converts to a helipad, a feature first introduced in 2007 on Oceanco's award-winning 267' Alpha Nero, currently available for charter through Boatbookings.com.

Among many spectacular architectural features on Y708 are private guest balconies on each deck and owner’s compartments that incorporate two private decks with whirlpool and sunbathing area, bedroom suite, salon and study. Sweeping aft decks that include a beach club with guest sea terrace further expand voluminous interior spaces characteristic of Oceanco's Y-series.

In the last decade Oceanco has launched several distinguished yachts acclaimed for both innovative architectural design and cutting edge technology. At the Asia Boating Awards this May, Oceanco's fourth in the Y-series 280' Vibrant Curiosity was awarded Best Custom-Built Yacht. Among her many notable features is a three story sweeping vertical expanse of glass amidships.

Oceanco Yachts in the Y-series earn a place among the world's top 100 superyachts, including charter yachts 262' Amevi (Y701), 267' Alfa Nero (Y702) and 245' Anastasia (Y703), each designed to accommodate 12 guests. Please contact Boatbookings.com for charter information on these spectacular superyachts, and continue to check boatbloggings.com for updates on Project Y708, scheduled for delivery in 2012.
