The UAE Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai took delivery of a brand new luxury 40m San Lorenzo super yacht at this years Dubai International Boat Show. The spectacular 40 Alloy model is an aluminium designed superyacht with a planing hull.

Charter A Luxury Yacht To St Tropez and Club 55 For the Day

Boats moored in St Tropez A day charter to Club 55 on a sleek motor yacht is our most popular French Riviera destination; it really is the destination of choice if you want to experience St Tropez.

Club 55 originated in 1955 when Brigitte Bardot was filming And God Created Women on Pampelonne Beach and the director asked a fisherman’s hangout if they could cook for the cast. It’s been almost synonymous with the St Tropez Beach scene since then, and never disappoints. Club 55 is a well-groomed private beach club in the middle of Pampelonne Beach combined with a “laid back elegant” outdoor restaurant that serves perfect beach cuisine in a buzzy but relaxed and surprisingly intimate setting. A hotspot for the rich and famous, the beach and restaurant are open all summer long.
The pier at Club 55 on Pampelonne beach in St Tropez

A typical day at Club 55, assuming you’re coming by yacht and not by the horribly congested road into St Tropez, begins after a 1-2 hour cruise from Cannes, Antibes or Monaco past the beautiful Esterel red rock coastline. Mangustas, Leopards, Sunseekers and a variety of Super Yachts literally line up to anchor just off the beach, where the Club’s tender zips out to meet your party and bring you to the dock.

Get to the beach early in order to find the best available spot, and be ready to relax and people watch, before sitting down to enjoy your lunch. The restaurant offers extremely fresh foods, simply and perfectly prepared. A large catch of the day, served for an entire table, is a favourite. Starters are a good selection of fresh seasonal vegetables,and other classics such as prosciutto with The outdoor Lounge Area at Club 55 in St Tropez melon and salad Nicoise. The house rosé is light and practically mandatory with your lunch.

Club 55 is run by the son of the original owner, Patrice de Colmont. Patrice seems to know everyone and is amazingly aware of all that goes on in the restaurant. Somehow, he manages to keep track of where everyone is sitting, making sure all the celebrities get their special tables. He is one of the most well known men in St Tropez, yet his passion still lies in his restaurant and ensuring it still serves great food with style.

Club 55 is just one of the beach clubs on Pampelonne Beach, which, along with Nikki Beach’s pool and party atmosphere and
many other beach restaurants, is thriving throughout the summer. The Restaurant in Club 55 in St Tropez See our day charter yachts from Cannes for a great choice of yachts for your trip to St Tropez and Club 55.

Two Refreshing Caribbean Inspired Drinks For Your Next Vacation

Following on from our recent food blog on the very best Caribbean cuisine on your luxury yacht charter, this post aims to provide a few suggestions to help you quench your thirst during your next vacation. Whether you wish to have a cold refreshing beer, an iced coffee or a fruity cocktail, we have come up with a few incredible drinks from our recent trip to the Caribbean and Central America that will definitely appeal to everyone!

Canteloupe Water

Fresh fruit waters are very common and popular in Mexico, especially on those hot summer days by the beach. This refreshing fruit drink is simple to make and is delicious with any tropical fruit.
Simply blend your chosen fruit with a cup of water and enough sugar to taste before passing the mixture through a sieve and adding a few ice cubes. Other popular flavours include lime, mango, pineapple and strawberry.

Belizean Rum Punch with Nutmeg

The Rum Punch is a classic cocktail and matches rum with a delicious combination of fruit juices served over ice. However, the Belizean version combines coconut rum with tropical juice, a twist of lime and freshly grated nutmeg. The nutmeg adds a savory touch to the classic cocktail and will leave your mouth with a flavour sensation! Add fresh fruit and whatever you like to create your own take on this delicious drink.

The AC World Series Regatta Comes to Naples.

The Naples World Series Regatta is taking place this year from 16^th – 21^st April 2013. It is a fantastic opportunity for many people who wouldn’t otherwise get the opportunity to get a taste of the AC Cup and to come and bathe in this unique atmosphere. Taking place in the Mediterranean not only means that you do not have to fly all the way to America to experience the intense competition for the oldest international trophy in sport today, but it also means it is very good value. It is much less expensive than the AC Cup taking place in San Francisco Bay on 4^th July – 30^th August, but you still get to see all the best teams compete!

The Naples World Series Regatta will be used as a means of generating publicity and enticing sponsorship – especially as it costs about $100 million for a team to mount a competitive challenge! It is also used to gain points for the all-important Louis Vuitton Cup – the cup that selects the one team worthy of racing the previous winner and defender of the AC Cup itself.

Naples originally was host to the AC World Series in April 2012, when it drew over 500,000 spectators for an enthralling race between the best yacht racing teams in the world. This next installment promises to be just as exciting.

Why not look to charter JAUNI? A beautiful Amer 86 in immaculate condition and available for this upcoming Naples World Series Event.

She has wide spacious areas on deck – perfect for getting the best possible view of all the action as it happens in front of you! There is a forward sunbathing area for those amongst you that want to soak up the sun, a fly bridge featuring a further sundeck and a dining table with seats; not to mention the huge cockpit coming complete with a dining table for al fresco meals and access to a bathing platform to cool off in the sea.

With Captain Salvatore Paternostro at the helm and his crew supporting him, guests will have a truly memorable experience absorbing the unique atmosphere and excitement of the Naples Regatta.
