DREAM, a brand new Luxury Charter Yacht from Feadship!

With economic instability in Europe, it may come as a surprise that luxury yacht manufacturers are building some of the largest yachts in history. Project DREAM is the latest concept from the renowned Feadship brand, which breaks two records for being the largest yacht to come out of their base in Holland, as well as the largest build project to come out of the country. At 99m, project DREAM will rival the best yachts from rival Lürssen and her creators have described as being both ‘sleek and quick’, as well as featuring ‘exquisite’ exterior detailing, which is bound to turn heads in the most prestigious yachting ports.

Project DREAM features exterior styling and interior design by Andrew Winch Designs, with Feadship remaining in charge of the naval architecture. She is relatively lightweight for her size and can reach a maximum speed of 24 knots, thanks to her hull form and quadruple engines. DREAM is a unique addition to Feadship’s super yacht fleet, taking inspiration from previous models and incorporating the very latest technology and fixtures and fittings.

A Luxury Yacht Charter on the Croatian Riviera to rival anywhere in the world!

The exquisite beauty of the Croatian Riviera can sometimes be hidden in the shadow of its bigger cousins; the French and Italian Riviera. Yet it is one of the stunning yachting destinations in the Mediterranean. Croatia has an amazing 5,835km of coastline, of which 4,057km belongs to islands, cliffs and reefs meaning there is always a new cove, sandy beach or cave to explore.

Why not charter the Sunseeker Portofino 53, PUPA II, a crewed luxury motor yacht that accommodates up to 6 guests in 3 cabins. PUPA II is based out of the port of Split, home to the Palace of Diocletian and just one of many World Heritage Sites that are scattered through Croatia. Click here for a detailed itinerary on a proposed charter in the Croatian Riviera.

With a stylish blend of wooden panels and cream leather, it is beautifully fitted and you will be able to cruise the coast in this sleek and powerful yacht with a huge range of toys at your disposal. It boasts Bose HiFi and Ipod systems, air conditioning through-out, a Williams 325 jet 104hp, a wake board, water skis and snorkeling equipment so you can best appreciate the clear blue waters of the Croatian Riviera.

Warrick said: “We had an amazing time on the Portofino 53. The yacht was immaculate, perfect for our needs in size and specification. We said many times that we think we had the best looking motor yacht on the Adriatic! (except perhaps for the super-yachts!!)”

A Seven Day Luxury Yacht Charter Adventure around the Spanish Virgin Islands

A vacation is one of the only times per year when you can completely shut down and try to forget about everything else. It is a proven fact that those who have regular vacations are much more productive and happy at work, as they are re-energized and motivated on their return. We have

recently been to the Spanish Virgin Islands, one of the best kept secrets of the Caribbean and designed this sample 7 day itinerary, which you may be interested in for your next vacation. We would highly recommend the 2013 Lagoon 450 luxury catamaran for this trip, as it provides both great space, style and comfort, as well as a fantastic sailing experience.

Sample 7 Day Itinerary:

Day One: Arrive at Marina Puerto Del Rey from San Juan International or a local hotel. Meet at 9:30 a.m in order to board the vessel by 10:00 a.m. You will then sail approximately 4 nautical miles northeast to the spectacular island of Isla Palomino.

Day Two: Head off due east towards the islands of Culebra and Cayo Luis Peña. The sail is about 13 nautical miles and you will be able to find great snorkeling spots and moorings on the southwest side of the island. A popular beach option whilst on Culebra is Playa Flamenco, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Day Three: On Day three, you can sail eastwards to Bahia Tortuga on Culebrita Island, which is acclaimed to be one of the top ten beaches in the Caribbean.

Day Four: After spending the night overlooking Culebrita, take a nice downwind sail down the southern channel to Ensenada Honda, which is Culebra\’s main harbour, where you can explore the island and enjoy all that it has to offer.

Day Five: On Day Five, you will set sail southbound towards the beautiful island of Vieques. After you round the eastern tip, you will sail along downwind to Bahia de la Chiva.

Day Six: Cast the mooring line loose and sail leisurely down the undeveloped south coast of Vieques to Sun Bay. Witness the beauty of the natural coastline, which possesses fantastic snorkeling spots, as well as some of the best beaches on the island. Head a little further down the coast from Puerto Real and have a few Piña Colada’s, the famous drink of Puerto Rico in one of the bars in Esperanza.

Day Seven: You can opt to sail back up the east coast of Puerto Rico to Cayo Icacos, just east of the northeastern tip of Puerto Rico. Once back at base, you will do a quick refueling and de-briefing. Then why not explore the rest of the island, with popular stops at Ponce, as well as the western coast before your flight home from San Juan. Alternatively, Old San Juan is one of the oldest Spanish settlements in the discovery of the Americas, making it a fantastic place to explore.

The show will take place at the Helsinki Exhibition & Convention Centre, with this year’s special focus on sailing, as well as other activities related to yachting and outdoor life.

Boatbookings View from the London Boat Show 2013: “Compared to the previous model, the 68 has improved on every level. The entertaining spaces are second to none, in particular an incredible aft deck, featuring some of the best sunbathing spaces that we’ve seen. Accommodation is provided in 3 cabins, including a master and a double VIP, which are designed in typical Sunseeker style. Sophistication and luxury are two words that go hand in hand with this yacht.”

If you like the look of this model, why not charter something similar. Whether you want to charter in the Mediterranean or the Americas, we have a great range of yachts for you. You should really look at AGUILA, a luxury Sunseeker Predator 73 which is available for charter from Cancun, Mexico.
