The Wolf of Yacht Street – NAOMI’s Little Sister

If you’ve been to see The Wolf of Wall Street recently you’ll have experienced the lavish lifestyle of Jordan Belfort. A fantastic film based on the true story of the American dream, the rise of a wealthy stockbroker who lives the high life and then falls into crime, corruption and dodgy deals. Like any millionaire Belfort, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, enjoys fast cars, first class flying and of course luxury yachts.

PosterNamed after the love of his life Naomi (Nadine in reality), the film features a 44.8 metre Intermarine super yacht known in the real world as LADY M. Belfort is seen onboard in the beautiful Italian Riviera town of Portofino, surrounded by his deck jacuzzi and lavish flowers.

NAOMI If you’re looking to live the luxury lifestyle of Jordan Belfort, we too have a fantastic Intermarine creation for you. BALAJU is the pinnacle of luxury yacht charters in the Mediterranean. Sprawling deck spaces resemble a Floridian beach house, whilst inside sumptuous furniture with splashes of colour creates an energising but comfortable space to relax and unwind. She’s currently cruising the Caribbean basin, but will be back on the Rivieras for the summer season so you too can live the Portofino dream of Jordan Belfort.Screen Shot 2014-01-24 at 12.31.26Keep up to date with all the hottest yachting news by following our Twitter account.

Open a Toy Box Full of Surprises

When you think of a bareboat motorboat, you do not immediately think of luxury or glamour. Its celebrity sibling, the crewed motor yacht, steals the show more often than not, while the humble bareboat provides more affordable yet equally unforgettable charters.

Ones over 10 metres are hard to come by, and ones with jacuzzis are practically unheard of. Let alone ones that come equipped with a state of the art entertainment and gaming system, wine cooler, air conditioning,  wifi, 115hp dinghy, and a plethora of water toys including wakeboard, kayaks and advanced fishing equipment.

With all of these fantastic amenities and then some, Toy Box definitely stays true to her name. At a staggering 24m she is the perfect boat for a family or group of friends who have extensive sailing experience. Moreover, she is based in British Columbia, Canada, one of the most exquisite cruising spots in North America. With activities such as whale watching on offer and some beautiful, unspoilt areas to explore both on and off the water, this is for all those who love nature, while enjoying the benefits a luxury yacht has to offer.
