The outrageous new design by Eduard Gray – meet the XHIBITIONIST!

Now this is not something you or I will probably even see, let alone step onto, but this stunning new concept by Eduard Gray of Gray Design is a spell binding proposition nonetheless. Gray Design thankfully excuses us for at first thinking we are in a “yet-to-be released, Fifth Element style sci-fi blockbuster”, or new the batman film, but they go on to explain that first and foremost, it is “a cleverly engineered workhorse; a nautical tool designed to fulfill many different roles.”

The name itself, Xhibitionist, is a dead give away to the true purpose of this amazing yacht – namely to stun! She was designed as a multi purpose showroom, a form of real estate on water that would attract anything from it’s inspiration – the super car, to jewellery or an all manner of other business models. Where better to buy a car than on a yacht? This would yacht would certainly turn heads like no other!

One of its truly incredible features you can see is the helipad that emerges from its aft deck. Made of solar panels, not 2 but 3 helicopters can land there and it can also be transformed into a concert venue! However they didn’t stop there. Gray design also created a car as a matching counterpart to Xhibitionist named Xhibit G!

If you are interested in chartering a yacht, albeit a slightly more conventional one, here at Boatbookings we have a very experienced team dedicated to find that perfect yacht for you.

Explore the Iles de Lérins on Your Luxury Yacht Charter in the French Riviera!

Many people who fly into Nice for their luxury charter on the French Riviera may notice the cluster of islands just off the end of Palm Beach, Cannes. These islands are the Iles de Lérins, found in the bay of Cannes. Made up of two islands, they are both a peaceful and historic place to visit. Ile Sainte Marguerite is the larger island and is covered by a pine and eucalyptus forest, where you can visit the cell in which the Man in the Iron Mask was imprisoned. Ile Saint Honorat, just south of Sainte-Marguerite, has a Cisterian abbey that still produces a local wine.

The passage between the islands is a popular anchor point for many of the yachts of the region, and a great place to stay for the night if you`ve been visiting Cannes or Antibes. You can anchor between the islands, for this offers great swimming while protected from the wind, and a fabulous view of the sunset over the Esterel.

If you’re looking for a restaurant to visit for your lunch, La Guérite, on Ile Sainte Marguerite proves to be a popular choice. Nestled into the island, relax by the beach and dine with a view towards Cannes. With a fabulous menu, including bouillabaisse and freshly caught fish, you can indulge in a long lunch or enjoy a light snack.

A great choice to get you to the Iles de Lérins, is this Sealine C35. Perfect for a day out with a small group of friends, she is available from 1,700 € per day. She is modern in design and can accommodate up to 2 guests sleeping in 1 cabin. With seating for some informal dining, you can relax with a drink in hand and watch the sun go down.
