And They Keep on Coming – More Water Toys for Your Luxury Yacht Charter!

With more and more new water toys available for luxury yacht charters, they are increasingly more important as a deciding factor in the choices that people will make for their charter. Loved by all ages, they are plenty of fun for everyone! This time around, the water toys seem to be more about getting across the water, rather than in to it!

The Flying Fish Marlin II Platinum Black hovercraft was released at this year’s London Boat Show. Aimed at the superyacht tender market, it surely is an innovative way to get from your luxury yacht and on to the land! The build is ultra lightweight, constructed with Kevlar and carbon fibre, and with a shimmering faded black hull, the sparkle will catch anybody’s eye! With blue lighting and chrome and teak deck fittings, this is a hovercraft with style. With a 50bhp ‘Rampage’ engine, be prepared to reach speeds up to 50mph as you fly from land to water.

If you’re looking for a more compact form of transport, the MiniCat is for you! This ultra light, inflatable catamaran is small enough to fit in
your car – so you will have no problem storing it on board a yacht. Even if you’re out on a super yacht, there are plenty who still want to try their hand at sailing, and the MiniCat is a fun and exhilarating means to give it a go! It can pack down in to just one bag for storage, and can be easily built and ready to use in just 30 minutes – perfect!

Chartering a Luxury Yacht in the Charming Port of Saint-Florent, Corsica

Chartering a yacht in Saint-Florent is a superb destination for your summer vacation in the Mediterranean. Saint-Florent is a port town located in the northwest of Corsica. Originally a commercial fishing port, today it is a stunning yachting destination because of it’s architecture and monuments such as the citadel built in 1440.

Along the coast you will see some beautiful ancient towers like the towers of genoese and a bit further you will see some amazing bays with breathtaking long sandy beaches including Saleccia beach, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean sea. There is a beautiful contrast between the Corsican Maquis hills, the sea and the city of Saint-Florent.

If you charter a boat in Saint Florent, you can put it on anchor in the bay or negotiate a berth in the port. There are plenty of excellent local restaurants in the port, we recommend the restaurant in Hotel d’Europe.We also recommend a day trip to the port of Centuri to eat what some people call the best lobster of Corsica. If this is too far for you, you can go to one of the nearby bays and have swim in the beautiful sea, lay down and get a tan in the nice sandy beach or go snorkelling and discover the underwater world of Corsica.

DREAM, a brand new Luxury Charter Yacht from Feadship!

With economic instability in Europe, it may come as a surprise that luxury yacht manufacturers are building some of the largest yachts in history. Project DREAM is the latest concept from the renowned Feadship brand, which breaks two records for being the largest yacht to come out of their base in Holland, as well as the largest build project to come out of the country. At 99m, project DREAM will rival the best yachts from rival Lürssen and her creators have described as being both ‘sleek and quick’, as well as featuring ‘exquisite’ exterior detailing, which is bound to turn heads in the most prestigious yachting ports.

Project DREAM features exterior styling and interior design by Andrew Winch Designs, with Feadship remaining in charge of the naval architecture. She is relatively lightweight for her size and can reach a maximum speed of 24 knots, thanks to her hull form and quadruple engines. DREAM is a unique addition to Feadship’s super yacht fleet, taking inspiration from previous models and incorporating the very latest technology and fixtures and fittings.
