Today marks the opening of the 68th edition of the notorious Cannes Film Festival, possibly the biggest event in the south of France, which is ready to wow with it grand opening. The opening film this year is La Tête Haute (Standing Tall), which stars famous French actress, Catherine Deneuve. The film is directed by Emmanuelle Bercot, who is the first female director to open the Festival de Cannes since 1987.
Now we’re in May, yacht parties in Cannes are very popular! With the Cannes Film Festival 2015 starting on the 13th May, it is no surprise that everyone is flocking to the Riviera to soak up the party atmosphere and join in the fun. Along with the 2015 Monaco Grand Prix taking over the streets of Monte Carlo over the last weekend of the film festival, celebrities, film stars and tourists alike are there to be part of the action.
This week we bring you something completely new, and an incredible opportunity to charter one of the largest and newest Sunseekers on the water this summer! THUMPER was launched in 2014, and at 40.05 metres she has everything you could ever want for your perfect charter vacation. With a “Miami beach club” style with specially commissioned artworks she is a truly unique yacht, and to go with it THUMPER has obtained a Spanish charter licence for summer 2015! Her very proud new owners will offer the floating paradise for charter at both the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix before she blazes her way to the glorious Balearics in time for the buzz of the season in Ibiza!
We’re taking an unusual turn this week, and looking towards timeless elegance and a touch of traditional class. NERO benefits from a classic gentleman’s yacht style but with every modern feature you could possibly wish for, and some features that will exceed even the most discerning of wish lists. NERO is a romantic yacht and offers all the charm and luxury of 1920s design. Currently cruising the Caribbean, NERO is the perfect yacht to stand out even amongst the striking beauty of the islands of St Martin and the BVI. This summer she’ll be available for event charters, boasting exceptional quayside entertainment for 100, parties at anchor for 35 and accommodation for up to 12 guests.
Following on last week’s theme of yachts that hold a special place in our heart this year, our final super yacht of the week for 2014 is BLUSH. We’ve been watching BLUSH’s movements since she was revealed earlier this year, a rumoured £25 million new-build from Formula 1 mogul Eddie Jordan. The 47-metre yacht is Sunseeker’s flagship creation and the largest yacht ever built at the British based shipyard. Following her reveal the yachting industry awaited her launch with baited breath, and we were not disappointed!
