MIPIM, the Cannes-based Real Estate show running the 13th to 16th of March, has always been a great Yacht Show.  Super Yachts and Classic Yachts make great meeting rooms and entertainment venues.  But did you know that perhaps the best place to stay during the show is on a yacht?  Virtually all of the hotels and apartments in Cannes have been sold out for months.  But there are still lots of boats available in the Pierre Canto port that you can stay on and will drive you right to the Palais des Festivals when you need it.  Some of the boats available are listed here.

It sounds a bit, we’ll, old fashioned, but more and more people are finding that a Charter on a Canal Barge can make for a wonderful, relaxing and stress-free holiday.  Barges have evolved into comfortable, even luxurious charter boats, and you’re always close to lots of activities such as bike riding, exploring quaint towns, and sightseeing.  Boatbookings.com has sourced lots of great barges for charter – read more about it here.

More and more people are discovering that one of the best sailing holidays is on a Gulet in the Turkish Aegean Sea.  Gulets are modified wooden Turkish Fishing boats, now made luxurious for those wanting a relaxing, cultural sailing holiday. 

These holidays are called Blue Cruises, and depart from Aegean Ports such as Bodrum, Marmaris and Gocek.  You get to experience Greek and Roman Ruins, quiet anchorages, beautiful scenery, swimming, snorkeling, and the great hospitality of the Turks, all on a gorgeous and comfortable sailing yacht.  There are many beautiful Gulets that you can reserve with excellent crews and superb Turkish cuisine. For the full story, check out the full Gulets page on Boatbookings.com here.
