The Exciting New Hanse 575 Setting The Trend Once More!

The new Hanse 575 is a fantastic piece of engineering. Designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co, the world’s most successful yacht designers, it is the fastest cruising yacht in its class. This new Hanse is right at the forefront of yacht design, combining the most modern of technologies currently available with age old techniques, painstakingly learnt over hundreds of years.

Its gorgeous lines and efficient use of space are clear to see, or not as the case may be with the ingeniously hidden, jet powered dingy in the longitudinal electrical garage! You can even sail this 16.7 meter luxury sail boat by yourself if you wish thanks to the Hanse ‘easy sailing concept’, meaning you can tack and reef all from the helm.

If you like the Hanse 575 why not try the fantastic Hanse 470, available for charter immediately! She is a favorite of ours here at Boatbookings and is ideal for sailing all around the world in luxury and style, be it, on the French Riviera, Greece or even the spectacular waters of Grenada. There is not better way to get a taste of adventure than chartering this boat; you can do as much or as little as you like with a friendly local skipper on hand to ensure you have the best possible charter!

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!!)”
