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.

At Boatbookings we’re huge fans of Nobiskrug yachts, as you’ll see from our previous post on the beautiful MOGAMBO we love their sporty lines, the stand-out grey hulls and the huge amount of light that floods their interiors. A winner for us this week is SIREN, a favourite of Brokers Allison and Ben at this year’s Antigua Yacht Show. Ben said that SIREN was “streets ahead of the competition,” and we can really see why.
