Charter a Luxury Yacht in the Seychelles

As an island country, the Seychelles are a perfect destination to charter a boat. With islands scattered in the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles offer stunning beaches and fabulous scenery. With the chance to watch birds and giant tortoises in their natural habitat, the Seychelles sells itself on its ecotourism – but it’s even more spectacular to visit the Seychelles underwater.

So, why not take the plunge while sailing around on your holiday? The Seychelles invite you to explore its underwater world, so you cannot refuse the chance to experience the amazing marine life and scenery of its underworld. A whole variety of sea life, including sharks, stingrays and octopuses, can be found once you enter the clear blue waters from your yacht. It’s understandable that people want to charter a yacht with snorkel or scuba diving equipment – taking a dip on these waters is, without a doubt, unforgettable! Even if you aren’t an experienced diver, using a mask and snorkel will still give you an amazing view of this underwater world; everybody can experience the vibrant colours and activity of what goes on below sea level.

This Lagoon 400 catamaran is an ideal choice if you

want to try out the waters around the Seychelles – not only do you have snorkel gear at your disposition, there is also scuba diving equipment available on request. This catamaran provides easy access to the water, further encouraging you to take the plunge underwater, and when you get back on board there is plenty of space on deck to lie in the sun and dry off while you can reflect on what you might have just experienced!If you would like to receive more information with regards to booking your luxury charter yacht in the Seychelles, please enquire through our website, where one of our senior brokers will be happy to help you plan the experience of a lifetime.

Charter a Luxury Yacht to Keller Plage, Cap d’Antibes

Some way between Juan-les-Pins and Antibes on the French Riviera is a secluded bay – Cap d’Antibes. In the Cap, Keller Plage is a fantastic restaurant and beach, perfect for lunch on your day charter. We highly recommend the fish at the restaurant, and the Japanese Tuna entrée is absolutely exquisite.

If you’re looking for an alternative to sailing to St Tropez, but are looking for something as relaxing and memorable, why not charter out of Cannes, sail to the Iles des Lerins, where you can anchor in the pearly blue waters for some swimming. After working up an appetite, head to Keller Plage for a sumptuous meal and a relaxing time either on the sandy beaches, or on board your luxury yacht, with a drink in hand.

For your day out, we cannot recommend AQUA BLUE OF IRELAND highly enough. She is a stunning Sunseeker Predator 74, available for charter out of Cannes. She has sunbeds at the front of the yacht to accommodate at least 3 sunbathing, and can accommodate 10 whilst sailing for a day charter. If you’re looking to spend more than a day on board, she has 3 great cabins, which provide space for up to 6 guests. Please see below for a great video of AQUA BLUE OF IRELAND!

The Latest Water Toy for your Luxury Yacht Charter!

Water toys are an essential part to a Luxury Yacht Charter in the 21st Century. Ranging from tubes to motorised See-Doo’s and Wave Runners, water toys cater for the whole family like never before. One of the latest and most exciting that we have come across so far this year is the ‘Subwing’, which aims to redefine underwater fun by enabling the user to perform a host of thrilling acrobatics, while being in complete control of movement. The Subwing can be towed safely behind a boat up to speeds of 4 knots and is easily dismantled to a compact state, which is perfect for transportation and storage.

You may automatically associate water toys with crewed motor yachts but you must remember that most yachts, including Bareboat Monohulls and Catamarans will have a tender. One of our favourite Luxury Crewed Caribbean yachts is ICARUS, a Jongert 27m monohull, accommodating up to 6 guests in 3 stunning cabins.She has an extensive range of water toys, including water skis, wakeboards and tubes to keep the whole family entertained. She has a dynamic young crew with a can-do attitude, who will attend to your every need to ensure maximum enjoyment on board. She is available for charter from the Caribbean in the Winter and the West Med in Summer.
