Monaco Grand Prix: Formula 1 Heads Home

The Monaco Grand Prix is without doubt one of, if not the most, prestigious events in the Formula One Racing calendar. Having been named the home of F1 Racing, as the residence of a number of F1 drivers, it is also the host of the Historic Grand Prix, which has already taken place.

From Thursday 24 May to Sunday 27 May 2018, all eyes are on the racetrack that runs through this billionaire’s playground, with tensions high as it is renowned to be one of the most challenging to navigate.

Favourites Red Bull and Ferrari head to Monaco with high hopes, whilst Mercedes have some concerns over the manoeuvrability of their car on the slow, tight track around the Principality. Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton is 17 points ahead of Sebastian Vettel for Ferrari following wins in the past two races, but with doubts from the team, it is unclear whether Mercedes will remain in pole position.

Take a look at @boatbookings on Instagram for updates as we follow the qualifiers and final race, live from the French Riviera!

The ultimate way to experience the race is undoubtedly from a berth in the Port on your very own luxury yacht charter; away from the commotion of the crowds, sit back and relax as you watch the high-speed entertainment on board a stunning charter yacht. Book now for the 2019 Monaco Grand Prix; bookings must be secured by November to ensure a spot in the lively Port.

Eddie Jordan takes delivery of brand new £25m, 155ft Sunseeker – It’s enough to make you Blush!

F1 team boss turned F1 presenter Eddie Jordan’s brand new 155ft Sunseeker BLUSH has just been revealed to the world ahead of her delivery in the Spring. With a reported cost price of £25 million and at a very sizeable 155ft (47m) BLUSH is now Sunseeker’s flagship yacht and has already attracted a lot of attention within the industry.

After two years of hard work, BLUSH leaves the shed!

With bookings already confirmed for the Monaco Grand Prix 2014 (I think we can guess who by!) and much of the summer in the South Of France it seems Eddie’s looking to use his new toy as much as possible in her maiden year, and who could blame him!

BLUSH will be magnificent when fully complete!

BLUSH may be the largest and newest, but she’s certainly not going to be the only Sunseeker cruising the French Riviera this summer. We blogged about DEVOCEAN, a 37m Sunseeker after Cordy and Tom went to visit and were extremely impressed by her.

DEVOCEAN is a stunning Sunseeker 37m with a contemporary, yet refined and classic interior. Excellent exterior spaces are a real feature, her top deck offers excellent lounging and seating options, as well as a jacuzzi to sit back and enjoy the wonderful views from. Her large decks also make her a suitable choice for corporate event charters, for the first time ever she is available for MIPM 2014!

If you’re looking for a smaller Sunseeker there is an abundance of choice, a few months ago we also blogged about IMPULSE, another one of our favourite yachts, perfect for a weeks family holiday. However if it’s just a day of glamour on the water you want then REHAB is the Sunseeker for you!
