Luxury Motor Yacht AVELLA…a Fantastic Charter Yacht for Events on the Riviera.

Luxury Yacht AvellaMotor Yacht AVELLA is an Azimut 105 that we recently visited in the Old Port of Cannes (see our luxury yachts Cannes). She is an extremely well maintained, elegant and spacious yacht and ideal for corporate events. She was chartered for the MIPIM just a few weeks ago and lined up for the MIPCOM, so she is very used to catering for big groups of people and the captain and crew are experts in doing so. English captain Gary Morton and his friendly crew are extremely accommodating and simply don’t understand the word ‘no’…exactly what you want when doing big events charters!

Up on the top deck of motor yacht AVELLA is a wonderfully spacious seating area, upholstered in stripes to truly give off a nautical ambience. We were told this area is perfect for meetings as it can be expanded and there was also an array of water toys, probably more appropriate for a family charter. On the lower deck is a great al fresco dining area with BBQ and fridge and a sunbathing area at the front of this 33.5m Azimut yacht for soaking up the rays.

Luxury Yacht Avella Deck

Inside this Azimut motor yacht you are welcomed by an open saloon and sleek bar area decorated in a cream and mid oak colour scheme. You are then taken through into a lovely dining area where you will have the opportunity to experience some of the chef’s exquisite recipes. The 4 cabins are spacious and decorated in light, fresh colours and fit very well with the general sophistication and character of this luxury motor yacht.

Please don’t forget the Antibes Yacht Show next week, and also we have many day boats for hire for events of all types in the French Riviera – Please feel free to contact us at any stage, as our team is here to help.

We discovered the definition of a Luxury Charter on board ILLUSION…

Luxury yacht charters Review: Majestically planted amongst the hundreds of yachts in the Old Port of Cannes, ILLUSION certainly stands out with her stunning 3-deck layout, sleek curves and pristine white finish. Whilst we recently had the opportunity to hop onboard and explore the beauty of this 152ft classic Benetti superyacht, we noted that ILLUSION is nothing short of pure luxury.

Upon entering her aft deck, host to a relaxing lounge area and spacious dining table, and through glass doors, we were welcomed into her bright and open saloon, furnished completely in white. The immaculate condition of Illusion and the beautiful attention to detail with the décor, designed by the owner’s wife, certainly add to her appeal. The rich mahogany furnishings throughout the corridors and cabins bring an authentic feeling to this stately vessel yet the fresh whites of the upholstery keep her open and airy. Her length deceives, as the sheer comfort and space onboard the luxury yacht; ILLUSION is a luxury motor yacht with features that you would expect from a much larger yacht.

The bar featured within the saloon offered a great selection of beverages and we were told that one of the crew members is a particularly adept cocktail maker! It was quickly noted that the crew have a fantastic vibe – all of them young, lively and active – and it’s clear they have a solid foundation and have been working together for a while. Claiming that it’s the best sushi they’ve ever tasted, the Australian chef never fails to impress his fellow colleagues with his fantastic Asian cuisine and will guarantee this, along with a whole lot more, on board a luxury yacht charter with ILLUSION.

Up on the top deck, host to yet another open lounge and dining area, is a stunning and spacious sunbathing area and mosaic pool with jets; ideal for soaking up the sun during the day and winding down in the evenings. The lightwood and white exterior give this luxury motor yacht an extremely Zen feel with its minimalistic and modern design, allowing you to truly enjoy a relaxing luxury yacht charter at sea.

The amazing testimonials for SOULS CALLING – Lagoon 500 in the BVI

We get a lot of great reviews of charter yachts, which is one of the most rewarding parts of the being in the Charter business.  We publish them directly on the site so that all charterers can refer to them when chartering.

But we keep getting such consistently superb feedback on SOULS CALLING that we felt we needed to single it out for special mention.  SOULS CALLING is captained by Alex Mulder, who is a very skilled skipper, knows the BVI like the back of his hand, and basically doesn’t know the word “No”.  He loves his job, always goes the extra mile, and wants his guests to have the best holiday of their lives. And he always seems to deliver.  Carla is a superb cook and takes great care that the guests are happy. The two together work magic.

SOULS calling is a 2007 Lagoon 500 catamaran, with 3 spacious cabins and large common areas.  Lagoons are famous for their great panoramic windows in the salon, giving beautiful views and lightness to the galley and salon.  The boat is immaculately clean and all details are cared for lovingly.

We think, however, it’s best to hear testimonials from the charter guests themselves – here are just a few!

Cathy Said:

“This trip was so amazing I truly believe words cannot describe, the beauty, relaxation, delicious food, comfortable living space, cleanliness, and dedication to details. Alex was not only a phenomenal , competent captain but he made you feel like there wasn`t anything he wouldn`t do to make you feel at home on this gorgeous vessel. Carla was a superb cook and her humility created such an endearing quality we all wanted to take her home. I loved this trip so much I actually wrote a poem about my time away with friends entitled: A Collective Sigh.

A COLLECTIVE SIGH Nowhere to be, nothing to do…but float in Paradise Ah…no words Blissful silence of surrender Laughter…Dancing Ah…good food, wine, blue skies Ah…friends saying more through looks and smiles; No need for words True companionship, celebration of life Non-judgment, no pretenses Just being you Ah………. My heart and soul breathes in gratitude and breathes out gratitude All ONE COLLECTIVE BLISSFUL SIGH.”

“We had a magical time! We all loved the boat and the whole experience. We had the most relaxing, family bonding time. We laughed, ate, drank and slept a lot!! Needless to say, Alex and Carla were fabulous! They treated us with such care. We all came home a few pounds heavier thanks to Carla but it was worth every bite! Alex was a perfect host and made sure our daughters were always happy with water sports and the parents were always with a drink in our hands….it was an awesome experience!!!”

“WOW!!!! What a trip!!! We had a fantastic time. She was an excellent recommendation. And Alex and Carla are wonderful!!! And the sailboat was PERFECT!!!! We really enjoyed the trip and would do it again in a heartbeat with Alex and Carla. Thanks for your help in getting this worked out. Sailing is such a great way to see the many islands of BVI and I would HIGHLY recommend Soul’s Calling to anyone.”

Patti Said:

The Easy “Point and Click” Way to Plan your Charter Itinerary – Route, Distance, Fuel Cost and Consumption

One of the most popular and useful pages on our site is the journey planner – you can plan your route distance, cost, fuel consumption, etc. In fact, it’s the page we use the most internally when working with clients. You simply go to your starting port, and begin clicking away until you’ve planned you’re route.  The page will tell you the total distance.  Then simply add the average speed, fuel consumption per hour and price of fuel, and you have the total time of the trip, fuel consumed and cost. Very cool!
