All-New Sunseeker 75 and James Corden Star at the London Boat Show!

It’s the 60th anniversary of the prestigious London Boat Show, but 75 was the number that everyone was talking about today. The all new Sunseeker 75 was the star of the show. With sprawling decks, sleek lines and new technology this yacht creates a sociable and light space for all to relax, entertain or unwind in a beautiful secluded bay.

And how better to celebrate this iconic British design than with a British icon? James Corden, king of comedy and Gavin & Stacy star was on hand to welcome guests and open the Sunseeker stand with this beautiful new luxury yacht. Corden said he was “thrilled” to be given the opportunity to open Sunseeker’s stand at the London Boat Show.

The Sunseeker 75 boasts three spacious cabins, 34 knots, wetbar to the aft, sun pads to the fore and aft and a vast flybridge. Some say you can’t have it all, Sunseeker would beg to differ!

Celeb Gossip 2014! Start off the New Year with the style of a Celebrity aboard a luxury charter yacht!

Advertising mogul Charles Saatchi and his new partner, fashion guru Trinny Woodall were spied seeing in the New Year aboard a luxury charter yacht worth $25 million in the Caribbean! This celebrity couple, recently embroiled in a scandal with legendary chef Nigella Lawson, were caught sunning it up in the beautiful waters of exotic island Mustique in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

Saatchi and Woodall turned down the invitation to Mick Jagger’s elusive New Year’s bash, attended by big names like Kate Moss and Bryan May, for the unrivalled decadence of a luxury yacht charter. Rumour has it that the glamorous couple opted to celebrate on board a 160ft super yacht not unlike the spectacular 188ft Abeking & Rasmussen DIAMOND A below, available for charter in the Caribbean now!

And who wouldn’t want to spend the holiday season aboard a gorgeous, stunning yacht amongst the warm turquoise seas and pristine sandy beaches of the Caribbean – it is simply too alluring to be ignored!

The Brand New Must-Have Eco-Friendly Yachts

Admiral Shipyards have announced yet another order for a construction of their new eco-friendly aluminium Impero range. Ranging from 40 metres up to a awe-inspiring 55 metres, the futuristic shipyard have orders for 4 super yachts in this range.

The latest order from this range is the 40 metre model, with eco-credentials to impress anyone green-inclined. She has a revolutionary Siemens hybrid engine, this allows the yacht to cruise completely silently at 10 knots. As well as this she will consume just 60 litres of fuel per hour, giving her enough range to cross the Atlantic Ocean twice! With combined engine power, she achieves the very respectable speed of 20 knots, doing so as efficiently and silently as possible.

Completion of Admiral’s range is expected towards the end of 2015, but if you can’t wait that long for your eco-yacht charter we have just the boat for you! M OCEAN is part of the new iconic Arcadia range, with a similar hybrid system allowing it to cruise silently at 8 knots, and solar panels on the roof to provide electricity when at anchor. Based in Golfe Juan on the French Riviera for the winter her charter rate is €98,000 per week, accommodating up to 12 guests comfortably.
