Chartering a Luxury Yacht during the Monaco Grand Prix – There’s still time!

Along with the Cannes Film Festival, the last week of May brings even more excitement to the Riviera with the highly anticipated Monaco Grand Prix. Whether you’re entertaining clients, a racing fanatic, want to spot some celebs or just want to party; chartering a luxury yacht is the perfect way to enjoy the buzz of Monte Carlo during this event. With the racing days on just Saturday and Sunday, there are plenty of other reasons to come down to the Cote d’Azur this May and really make a holiday out of a luxury yacht charter.

From super yachts berthed on the front line of the Monaco racetrack, to smaller yachts anchored just outside of the bay, Boatbookings.com can help you find the perfect charter yacht to appreciate this prestigious and exciting racing event. Since the harbour of Monaco is filled with an array of fantastic luxury yachts each year during this time, one might even argue that the yachting aspect is nearly as important and most definitely just as exciting as the Grand Prix races themselves. This is one event in the Riviera world of yachting that is certainly not to be missed!

If you’re interested in chartering a yacht during the Monaco Grand Prix please contact a member of our team and check out all the yachts we have available for day charter on the Riviera.

Cocktails and Canapés on board luxury charter yacht BEAR MARKET.

Luxury Motor Yacht Mangusta , docked at AntibesLuxury Yacht Charter Mangusta : Last night the Boatbookings team was welcomed on board a luxury 92ft Mangusta charter yacht for cocktails, canapés and to have a look around this gorgeous boat. With her sleek and sporty appearance, yet sophisticated and soothing interior, BEAR MARKET seems like a great yacht for fun charters amongst families and friends around the French Riviera. English captain Jim is a great laugh and the rest of the crew were wonderfully inviting, making it a truly enjoyable evening.

From the Chanel cushions in the cabins, the beautiful scent of Joe Malone candles drifting through the salon to the Molton Brown soaps and Ralph Lauren robes in the bathrooms, this Mangusta is a delightful vessel, fully equipped with the best of the best amenities on board. The gorgeous sun lounge area on the top of the boat, for adults only, is the perfect getaway (not just from the kids!) since it was easy to imagine the pure sunbathing heaven you would be in, anchored anywhere in the Cote d’Azur, soaking up the sun, being gently rocked by the sea.

And one thing that certainly can’t go without mention is the food! We were lucky enough to sample some of the chef’s amazing work…ranging from sushi to gazpacho that would nicely finish a day on your luxury yacht charter! The divinely presented Maki rolls and wasabi mayonnaise were made to perfection and a definite favourite amongst the guests were the Tempura prawns with sweet chili sauce, not to mention the delicious wines that came with it!

 

If you are attending the Antibes yacht show 2012 in the next few days please do not hesitate to contact us to meet up at the Antibes Yacht Show 2012 , and also we have many day boats for hire for events of all types in the French Riviera.

Luxury Motor Yacht AVELLA…a Fantastic Charter Yacht for Events on the Riviera.

Luxury Yacht AvellaMotor Yacht AVELLA is an Azimut 105 that we recently visited in the Old Port of Cannes (see our luxury yachts Cannes). She is an extremely well maintained, elegant and spacious yacht and ideal for corporate events. She was chartered for the MIPIM just a few weeks ago and lined up for the MIPCOM, so she is very used to catering for big groups of people and the captain and crew are experts in doing so. English captain Gary Morton and his friendly crew are extremely accommodating and simply don’t understand the word ‘no’…exactly what you want when doing big events charters!

Up on the top deck of motor yacht AVELLA is a wonderfully spacious seating area, upholstered in stripes to truly give off a nautical ambience. We were told this area is perfect for meetings as it can be expanded and there was also an array of water toys, probably more appropriate for a family charter. On the lower deck is a great al fresco dining area with BBQ and fridge and a sunbathing area at the front of this 33.5m Azimut yacht for soaking up the rays.

Luxury Yacht Avella Deck

Inside this Azimut motor yacht you are welcomed by an open saloon and sleek bar area decorated in a cream and mid oak colour scheme. You are then taken through into a lovely dining area where you will have the opportunity to experience some of the chef’s exquisite recipes. The 4 cabins are spacious and decorated in light, fresh colours and fit very well with the general sophistication and character of this luxury motor yacht.

Please don’t forget the Antibes Yacht Show next week, and also we have many day boats for hire for events of all types in the French Riviera – Please feel free to contact us at any stage, as our team is here to help.
