Charter a Luxury Yacht to Paloma Beach, St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat

Just east of Nice, the small Paloma Beach is open to everyone; especially if you choose to travel there by yacht! Since 1948, Paloma Beach has shared its stunning views of Beaulieu, Cap d’Ail and the cliffs at Eze with many. Another popular hotspot on the French Riviera, the beach has been visited by the likes of Elton John, Prince Albert of Monaco and Elle Macpherson, which explains why it has become such a stylish stop-off for any jet setter. Paloma Beach is continuously evolving, adapting to suit its clientèle and stay in vogue.

Shaded from the wind, Paloma Beach is a great place to go for lunch during your day charter.You can dine on grilled fish or other local specialities at the beach restaurant, made even better by its picture-perfect location. The water around the beach is also fantastic for water sports, so you can make use of any of the water toys your chosen charter has to offer; even better for working up an appetite before lunch. The beach encourages visitors from the sea; there is a water taxi available if needed, so it is a very welcoming location for anyone who wants to make a stop while cruising the French Riviera.

Open for business from Easter until the end of November, Paloma Beach is a prime location to visit during your summer day charter.

The America’s Cup 2013

In September 2013, the America’s Cup is returning to America for the first time in 18 years. The America’s Cup, the oldest trophy in international sport, will take place in San Francisco from the 7-21st September 2013. The 34th edition of the AC is hosted in the home town of the defending champions, the Golden Gate Yacht Club, making for an even more exciting race! The AC is returning to America with style; this year includes new boats and new rules (and better media coverage for those who aren’t quite lucky enough to be there for the real thing!).

The AC72 rule for the construction of the catamarans leads to a revolutionary design that can travel at extreme speeds and potential danger, as the new foils can cause the hull to lift out of the water; a risk of capsizing! The new classes of boats will be more powerful and therefore even more demanding to the crews on board. The new AC72s are to be used in both the Louis Vuitton Cup and the America’s Cup; this could mean some very exciting races for anyone who is watching!

The 2013 America’s Cup also prioritises bringing racing to the people. The races are to follow near-shore courses, so those that are watching will be able to get even better views. The television and internet coverage shall also be improved, with new graphics for on board footage and microphones, along with exciting commentary on the coverage. It might be more exciting to watch the races from the comfort of your own home than from the shore!

The Five Competing Teams and Their Clubs:

Oracle Racing representing the Golden Gate Yacht Club
Artemis Racing representing the Kungliga Svenska Segelsällskapet (Royal Swedish Yacht Club)
Emirates Team New Zealand representing the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron
Luna Rossa Challenge representing Circolo Della Vela Sicilia
Team Korea representing Sail Korea Yacht Club

Charter a Luxury Yacht to Nikki Beach, St Tropez

The French newspaper Figaro once reported St Tropez as the place with the most famous faces per square metre. As a top choice for plenty of celebrities, St Tropez is clearly a popular destination for all. A playground for jet-setters, celebrities and millionaires, St Tropez is a summer hotspot, yet can be busy to find a parking space for your car… so why not hire a luxury yacht to take you round to Nikki Beach?

Nikki Beach is the concept of an ultimate beach club; a combination of music, food, art, fashion and entertainment. The beach club is all about relaxation and extravagance, a brilliant opportunity to let your hair down while on holiday. With fashions shows, performances and parties throughout the summer season, Nikki Beach is a St Tropez summer hotspot!Nikki Beach St Tropez is in a perfect location to stop off on your day charter!

A poolside environment that offers fine dining on Mediterranean cuisine, the beach is a great stop off point on a day out with friends. Stay on until later in the evening when the party scene comes to life, and the cocktails (or champagne!) really start to flow.

So, if you fancy a day charter to St Tropez, how about chartering MISTRAL 55 from Cannes to St Tropez in well under an hour. She is the perfect day charter to get the party started on the way to Nikki Beach; her unique disco system is practically an onboard nightclub. She is a great choice for thrill seekers with a maximum speed of 50 knots. With a spacious deck and plenty of water toys, MISTRAL 55 is also great fun if you want to anchor outside St Tropez for a while before heading to the shore to explore Nikki Beach.

If you would like to receive more information with regards to booking your luxury summer 2013 charter yacht, please enquire through our website, where one of our senior brokers will be happy to help you plan the experience of a lifetime. You can also send your charter enquiries to [email protected] where our broker in your desired region will contact you and send you some suitable proposals.
