BLUE PETER – 3 fantastic 10 day Caribbean charters available for €10,000 this Spring, book her now!

We blogged about BLUE PETER recently after Tom from the Boatbookings.com team spent an amazing afternoon sailing on board her. We’re delighted to say that she has some availability in the Caribbean this Spring! Here are 3 mouth-watering propositions for charters on this classic yacht in the Caribbean.

The Blue Peter sailing at Full Tilt!

Option 1: 10th – 19th March 2014

Itinerary: Antigua, Barbuda, St Barts, Anguilla, St Maarten.

These are said to be amongst the most beautiful Caribbean islands and that’s saying something! Mat and crew will take you on this fantastic Caribbean tour in style, effortlessly travelling from island to island, anchoring off beautiful white sandy beaches, allowing you and your guests to swim to shore, snorkel, or just relax whilst the crew prepares some delicious fresh food for you and pours out the rum punch! It doesn’t get much better than that!

Beautiful Jost Van Dyke

Option 2: 27th March – 5th April 2014 – Time to race!

Itinerary: St Maarten – St Barts – BVI

In contrast to Option 1, Option 2 is all about racing (without too much pressure). You’ll be picked up in St Maarten on the 27th March from where you will be taken to St Barts to watch ‘The Bucket’, a world famous Superyacht racing event around this stunning Caribbean Island, this is not to be missed! From St Barts Captain Mat will take you on a 100 mile downwind sleigh ride to the BVI. In the BVI you will take part in the BVI Sailing Festival. This would be a couple of great days of racing around the BVI during the day time and some great parties in Nanny Cay at night. To finish off this fantastic charter, you and the BLUE PETER will cruise to the fabulous Joss van Dyke island and Virgin Gorda Sound to relax before cruising back to St Maarten for the 5th April – what an incredible trip!

The incredible Maltese Falcon at last years “Bucket” in St Barts

Option 3: 25th April – 5th May 2014

Itinerary: Antigua – BVI

Much like Option 1, Option 3 is all about relaxation and taking in the endless beauty of the Caribbean. The sail from Antigua to the BVI is a fantastic downwind sail. On the way, Captain Mat will navigate past a handful of islands allowing you to take them in and enjoy the beaches and crystal clear water that surround them. You’ll arrive in Tortola where you will be sad to leave on the 5th May.

It’s time to go sailing!

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.
