If you are looking for a different and upscale experience, then a charter from Newport, Rhode Island, U.S., is the perfect choice for your next sailing adventure. Famous as a New England summer resort and home of the prominent Newport Mansions, it was also the site of some of the ‘Summer White Houses’ during the administrations of Presidents Dwight D Eisenhower and John F Kennedy.
Following on last week’s theme of yachts that hold a special place in our heart this year, our final super yacht of the week for 2014 is BLUSH. We’ve been watching BLUSH’s movements since she was revealed earlier this year, a rumoured £25 million new-build from Formula 1 mogul Eddie Jordan. The 47-metre yacht is Sunseeker’s flagship creation and the largest yacht ever built at the British based shipyard. Following her reveal the yachting industry awaited her launch with baited breath, and we were not disappointed!
One of the most beautiful bays in Corsica is Girolata, a beautiful fortified sanctuary found at the southernmost end of the Scandola Nature Reserve. It is one of the emblematic destinations of Corsica, often seen on the cover of many Corsica guide books. The dramatic setting, with the small village on a peninsula surrounded by the sea and running up the high mountains in the famous red rock of the region, make for a very impressive and scenic location. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind on anchor during your holiday!
Indonesia has over 17,000 islands, and is the world’s largest archipelago. The number and diversity of islands are almost beyond belief. The islands are spread over a 5000 km arc from Sumatra in the Indian Ocean, to the west of the Pacific Ocean. If you visited one island each day on an Indonesia yacht charter, your charter would take 46 years!
With the Holiday season well and truly upon us and Christmas fast approaching the Boatbookings team are looking back on what has been a truly fantastic year of yachting, both in charter and the mind-blowing developments and new levels of incredible set by some awe-inspiring creations. For the next two weeks, we’ll be highlighting a couple of our favourite luxury super yachts that have held a special place in our hearts following an unforgettable experience onboard. This week’s super yacht of the week is the newly re-fitted, light and bright IZAR creation: GLORIA TERESA.
