The Best of Both Worlds – Part 1

If you don’t like compromise and you’re looking for a land holiday, mixed with a few days enjoying the water we have the perfect selection here for you. Inspired by our stunning favourite on the idyllic Île de Maurice, DodoLodge is a stunning seafront villa offering unparalleled landscapes on the verge of crystal clear waters of Mauritius. With the villa comes the option to enjoy days out as and when you please on the “DodoBoat,” with or without a skipper! The DodoBoat is available for excursions to neighbouring islands or just activities on the water such as fishing or water skiing.

The DodoLodge gives you an idea of how great a holiday can be, without compromising on your ability to explore or just to get out on the water! We love this idea, and our team in the south of France have selected some of their favourite boats for the upcoming season to get the best of both worlds whether you’re taking a vacation in a hotel or a villa on the Riviera.

MINX is a stunning Azimut 68S offering the “open revolution.” She offers the open air feel of a flybridge yacht but with the sporty feel of her open styling creating the perfect flow of bringing the outside in. Her berth in Cap d’Ail means she’s perfect for day charters anywhere from Monaco to Nice!

LA BELLINI is an eye-catching new Sunseeker Predator 64 based in Golfe Juan. She’s perfect for day charters beginning anywhere from Antibes to Cannes. Her gorgeous classic Sunseeker styling means she’s great to heading down to St Tropez or Pampelonne Beach where she’ll look right at home among the luxury yachts at anchor around the famous beach clubs such as Club 55 or Nikki Beach.

If you’re looking for the best of both worlds in the south of France or anywhere in the world this summer, contact the Boatbookings team today to get started planning the vacation of your dreams!

Our top guide has the club for you whether you’re visiting Monaco at one end, or St Tropez at the other.

Club 55 is perhaps St Tropez’s most famous beach club; on approaching you’ll see the novel cabanas housing striking blue beach cushions. The place to stop if you want to bump into the rich and famous without a doubt! Situated on Pampelonne Beach you’ll be able to relax for the day, enjoying the view of the world’s largest super yachts as they anchor in these turquoise waters. Since its creation in 1955, Club 55 has led the way in setting trends for beach clubs around the world, offering the finest fresh food money can buy.

Sticking around Pampelonne Beach, we also have the buzzing atmosphere at Nikki Beach. Best known for its parties that continue well into the evening, Nikki Beach also has some of the finest cuisine around. We highly recommend their sharing platters, each themed by a Nikki Beach Club around the world! Cool white decoration provides the perfect background for the hottest pool parties on the Riviera!

A favourite of the Boatbookings team, Paloma Beach is situated is the striking and dramatic bay of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Once again, a haven for the world’s coolest and largest luxury yachts the daunting cliff faces create a secluded place to enjoy a relaxing extended lunch and enjoy the crystal clear waters.

Back in St Tropez, Nioulargo has very different offerings to any beach club on the Riviera coastline.

Wash them down with one of the many refreshing cocktails on the menu whilst relaxing at the heart of Pampelonne Beach!

A truly invigorating and relaxing experience! Eden Plage Mala sits just before Cap d’Ail on the way to Monaco.

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 has some similar striking Sunseeker design features as BLUSH

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!

DEVOCEAN’S top deck bar, perfect for a sundowner!

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!

IMPULSE front on!

Those of us in the Boatbookings.com Cannes office will be keeping our eyes pealed for BLUSH this summer and look forward to getting a closer look at her during the Monaco and Cannes yacht shows where she is expected to be exhibited. Get in touch today to discuss chartering a yacht this summer and make 2014 a year to remember!
