A Bond Style Cruise Down the River Thames

Cruising down the River Thames in London in a speedboat comes with extreme style and class. Be James Bond for the day on your own private charter, whilst speeding along the Thames. We can offer you SHAKEN NOT STIRRED, the Sunseeker Superhawk 34 which features in the Bond film The World is Not Enough.

SHAKEN NOT STIRRED is driven by Cigar Girl in one of the longest pre-title sequences in the Bond series. This is the actual Sunseeker Superhawk which features in the chase along the Thames from MI6 building to the Millenium Dome, now more commonly known as the O2 Arena, passing many of the well-known sights that London has to offer along the river. She is available for you to charter for your own personal Bond experience from £1,900 per day. Fortunately for you, SHAKEN NOT STIRRED wasn’t blown up as shown in the film – the delights of special effects! She is a fantastic Sunseeker with one cabin, and is perfect for an unforgettable day out along the Thames to see the best views that London has to offer.

New Zealand is one of the most renowned sailing locations in the world. From a base in Auckland, you can explore the dramatic green islands and deserted coves that this area is so famous for.

New Zealanders have called their homeland ‘Godzone’ for more than 100 years and this just epitomizes the rugged, intoxicating beauty on offer. There is no better way to explore this magical country than by yacht. The yacht charter season is all year round, though the summer months from September to April are often preferred.

Some of the yachting highlights in New Zealand include Auckland & Hauraki, with Rangitoto Island that is home to New Zealand`s youngest volcano, Waiheke Island possessing gorgeous golden beaches and the beautiful Great Barrier Island not far away.

Further north, the Bay of Islands is one of the most popular yachting destinations in New Zealand and for good reason! It’s uninhabited islands, breathtaking scenery and sub tropical climate makes Bay of Islands a fantastic destination. The Bay of Islands maritime park is itself comprised of 144 islands and possesses an abundance of sea life and natural harbors – perfect for the intrepid sailor!

Marlborough Sounds is another wonderful place to charter a yacht with over 4000km² of sounds, islands, peninsulas and sea-drowned valleys that make it a true delight to explore – especially as it is very difficult to access many of the small towns by anything but boat!
