Tucked away in the secluded bay of Beaulieu, Zelo’s Beach is a stand-alone club with a dark, wooden and welcoming exterior. Walking in you are greeted by friendly service and a super-trendy nautical blue and white theme.

On the beach, a variety of loungers, sun beds, regular beds and beds for 4 are available meaning whatever your group the helpful staff will set something up for you. On the menu is a fabulous range of sushi, fresh salads and the all-important catch of the day. The party generally gets started around 4pm with an in-house DJ and extensive cocktail menu for those looking for something a little more upbeat.

Beaulieu is the perfect destination for your charter whether you’re beginning your day in Cannes or Monaco.

The Palme d’Or in the Port of Cannes – The Best at the Film Festival 2014

Cannes is alive and buzzing with anticipation for the famed Film Festival, beginning on 14th May. The iconic Carlton Hotel has been decorated to almost unrecognisable lengths promoting the latest Hollywood blockbusters such as the new Transformers movie and The Expendables 3. The beach clubs have been transformed into concert venues, party spaces and meeting areas and last but not least the prestigious old port of Cannes is filling up with the world’s finest super yachts ready to house the biggest names in film! We’re in Cannes looking at the most iconic yachts at this year’s Festival de Cannes…

In yachting size really does matter, and taking up the “Quai du Large” this year is MOGAMBO. An award-winning design from Nobiskrug, she has a simple yet truly effective exterior with mysterious grey hull and huge windows flooding the interior with light. The sleek exterior almost disguises the fact that MOGAMBO is of colossal size, weighing in at an impressive 73.55 metres. Comprising of three decks of contemporary opulence, this luxury super yacht offers everything from a beach club to a hair salon and meeting spaces to saunas. Impressed? MOGAMBO’s price tag is €600,000 per week, with a minimum charter period of 10 days.

In a world where tradition is everything, with white and blue being the norm, standing out is key. For Roberto Cavalli, standing out comes in the form of a beautifully painted pearlescent hull. From some angles the 40 metre Baglietto super yacht glows in a stunning teal, but see her in port and she’s a striking purple. Self-named RC isn’t on the charter market so we cannot confirm the interior but from the social media snaps of celebrities such as Made in Chelsea’s Mark-Francis Vandelli we see multiple animals prints and extravagant patterns. What else would you expect from such a famed designer?

NEWS: Update on VAT for Charters in Spanish Waters

Enticed by the beautiful Balearics and the magic of Spain, but put off by the extra 21% payable in VAT? An update in Spanish law regarding VAT means this worry could disappear if you choose your yacht wisely! Until October 2013, only yachts up to 15 metres engaging in charter activity were exempt but on 28th the 15 metre specification was removed.

Flying the flag for Madeira is APACHE II! She’s a stunning 44 metre Baglietto launched in 2009 with beautiful exterior and modern and contemporary interior. APACHE II is rare in that she offers extensive inside and outside space whilst offering a sleek and sporty look, she cruises at a comfortable 17 knots meaning you can see the best of the Balearics in a week-long charter. Two unique terraces on either side of the saloon add a flowing feel of space and allow you to take in panoramic views on both sides.

APACHE II is also available for the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix, with the perk of a confirmed berth in Zone 2! For more information on chartering APACHE II or for luxury yacht charters in Spain, the Balearics and for events, contact our expert team today.
