At Boatbookings we’re huge fans of Nobiskrug yachts, as you’ll see from our previous post on the beautiful MOGAMBO we love their sporty lines, the stand-out grey hulls and the huge amount of light that floods their interiors. A winner for us this week is SIREN, a favourite of Brokers Allison and Ben at this year’s Antigua Yacht Show. Ben said that SIREN was “streets ahead of the competition,” and we can really see why.

It’s Not All about Restaurants and Beach Clubs on the Riviera – Monaco Has One of the Most Incredible Aquariums in the World
Designed as a palace dedicated entirely to art and science, the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco, founded by Prince Albert I has been an iconic part of the legendary Rock of Monaco for over a century. From the exquisite facades to the decoration in the salons, this magnificent building takes you into the fascinating world of the ocean. With over 6,000 square meters and some 6,000 specimens on display to feast your eyes upon, the museum offers a welcome cultural contrast from the bustling Riviera, with an emphasis on protecting the oceans.

Ile de Porquerolles – A Hidden Paradise
One of my favourite places on the French Riviera is the lesser known Ile de Porquerolles where the crystal clear waters, golden sand and dream-like bays are more akin to somewhere found in the tropics. This sensational paradise is the antidote to the hustle and bustle of St Tropez – a tranquil haven in which to relax and unwind whilst enjoying the stunning scenery. Together with the island of Port-Cros and île du Levant, Porquerolles belongs to the îles d’Hyères Archipelago, also knows as the îles d’or (Golden Islands). The biggest of the three islands of the archipelago, Porquerolles is shaped like a croissant and is seven kilometers long by three kilometers wide.

In the world of yachting where anything is possible they have created a 163ft yacht that can achieve speeds of 40 knots! A sensational yacht just for the thrill seeker then, but step onboard for the relaxation and tranquility that awaits…
