A Touch of Tranquility on the French Riviera – Villa Mauresque

Searching for a retreat this summer on the buzzing hive that is the French Riviera? We have just the hotel for you! Villa Mauresque is situated on the edge of the Gulf of St Tropez, nestled away in beautiful gardens deceiving you as to just how much madness surrounds you in the neighbouring towns. This luxury boutique hotel on the French Riviera offers panoramic views which can be enjoyed as you dine on world class cuisine on the outside terrace.

Boatbookings.com Managing Director Capucine was lucky enough to sample the talent menu of the chef, which as you can see looks as good as it tasted! Capucine particularly noted the kind customer service, attention to detail and a discreet and private feel surrounding the hotel. The tranquil gardens were also highlighted as an amazing and rare offering of peace on the coast.

With St Tropez on your doorstep, Villa Mauresque the perfect location to use as a base for your day charter on the French Riviera, and Capucine highly recommends stopping at Villa Mauresque as lunch stop on your Cannes to St Tropez day charter itinerary.

Please contact the Boatbookings.com team for more information on French Riviera day charters.

A Fortunate Stroke of SERENDIPITY on the Charter Market!

Here at Boatbookings.com we love Sunseekers, and the 37 metre model is without a doubt one of our favourites. Offering three enormous decks of space whilst maintaining sporty Sunseeker pedigree, these flagship models have been iconic of the Sunseeker brand for the past few years and rightly so as they have been immensely popular among owners and charter guests alike. Unfortunately as of late some of our favourites have disappeared from the charter market, DEVOCEAN causing great upset with her disappearance this spring. Just like all the other clouds, there is a silver lining here – SERENDIPITY is a stunning 2009 version of the 37m Sunseeker now available for charter.

She offers unrivalled cabin volume for her size, accommodating 12 comfortably in 2 master suites, 2 further doubles and 2 twins. With this SERENDIPITY offers excellent flexibility for two families to get together and charter this beautiful yacht. Outside she has as expected many dining options, as well as a huge sundeck bar, just a stone’s throw from the large jacuzzi and sunbathing area.

The interior is full of rich colours, matched with huge windows flooding the yacht with a positive feeling and plenty of natural light. Stand-out patterning on the carpet is a highlight for us, making the cabins feel large and spacious with huge energy levels.

SERENDIPITY is available late June in the West Mediterranean, moving East for August and September. The charter fees are at €105,000 – €125,000 per week plus expenses, unrivalled for her accommodation, age and style. Contact us today for more information.
