Displaning: The Future of Superyacht Design

The Italians are at it again.. 2 weeks ago, Lazzarini launched their avant-garde pod of luxury, and a few days ago powerhouse Canados revealed their new Oceanic range, which uses pioneering technology to create fast, dynamic cruising.

The explorer range, currently consisting of the Oceanic Yacht 90? and the Oceanic Yacht 140? feature the introduction of the “Displaning” hull concept, conceived by Arrabito Naval Design. This brand new hull shape gets its name by combining ‘displacement’ and ‘planing’, and marks a considerable step forward in yachting technology, offering the best of both displacement and semi-planing configurations. In general, displacement speeds offer low consumption and longer range, while semi-planing offers higher performance.

This is a brand-new, cost effective and innovative way for transoceanic vessels to travel. Moreover, the boats feature extended outdoor and indoor living volumes, ability to carry large toys and tenders, and an equally cutting edge Diesel-Electric propulsion system.

If you have understood everything then these are no doubt the boats for you! A technology enthusiasts dream, these boats will be capable of visiting the most remote spots on the planet while providing optimum comfort.

EMOTION – THE Luxury Charter Yacht for a Family Charter in the Mediterranean in Summer 2014

Recently, Cordy and Tom from the Boatbookings team were fortunate enough to visit EMOTION, a striking and impressive 43m CRN motor yacht.

After stepping onto the yacht and entering the main saloon, a feeling of opulence and warmth is immediately apparent. Her interior styling is homely and comfortable creating a feeling of space seldom found on a yacht of her size. This feeling of space continues after climbing her wide staircases up to the third and most impressive sun deck. Once on the top deck, guests will be spoilt with several comfortable lounging areas, a bar, barbecue and a jacuzzi. If the midday Mediterranean sun becomes too strong, there are two large and movable sun parasols to provide guests with some welcome shade.

Moving down to the main deck, guests will find an impressive wooden outside dining table with seating for 12, completely private and not visible from the quayside. After dark the cosy sky lounge with generous and comfortable seating options doubles as a cinema room with surround sound and 60? plasma screen, perfect for a family movie nights.

Her five well proportioned and tastefully appointed cabins provide accommodation that will more than satisfy any discerning guest looking for a home away from home. The real feature of the master cabin is the astonishing private balcony with table and chairs for two. Magnificent views can be enjoyed through the full length window or this can be fully opened for a true alfresco experience.

Thrill seeking guests will be kept busy with the two 230hp Yamaha SHOO jet skis that EMOTION has on board as well as two seabobs, a wakeboard, waterskis, inflatable trampoline and more! For active charterers and their guests there is a small fully equipped gym on the lower deck with cardio equipment and electric weights machine. Why not open the double doors for an amazing sea view whilst you work out!

Serious horsepower!

Enquire today to charter EMOTION next summer in the West Mediterranean for the luxury yacht charter of a lifetime!

Open a Toy Box Full of Surprises

When you think of a bareboat motorboat, you do not immediately think of luxury or glamour. Its celebrity sibling, the crewed motor yacht, steals the show more often than not, while the humble bareboat provides more affordable yet equally unforgettable charters.

Ones over 10 metres are hard to come by, and ones with jacuzzis are practically unheard of. Let alone ones that come equipped with a state of the art entertainment and gaming system, wine cooler, air conditioning, wifi, 115hp dinghy, and a plethora of water toys including wakeboard, kayaks and advanced fishing equipment.

With all of these fantastic amenities and then some, Toy Box definitely stays true to her name. At a staggering 24m she is the perfect boat for a family or group of friends who have extensive sailing experience. Moreover, she is based in British Columbia, Canada, one of the most exquisite cruising spots in North America. With activities such as whale watching on offer and some beautiful, unspoilt areas to explore both on and off the water, this is for all those who love nature, while enjoying the benefits a luxury yacht has to offer.

If you want to enquire about Toy Box or have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us here.
