GREENBOAT I accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 stunning cabins. Each cabin is

decadently appointed and matches light wood with soft furnishings. The build quality of this yacht is second to none and is in perfect condition. We have drawn up 3 reasons why you should charter this wonderful crewed catamaran:

GREENBOAT I has an excellent husband and wife crew who possess great experience of sailing, catering and hospitality. The chef / stewardess worked as a private chef for 6 years and will cook you the very best Caribbean seafood and meat dishes. If you are looking for a young, dynamic and can-do crew, then look no further. They will do everything in their power to ensure maximum enjoyment on your very special vacation.

This luxury crewed catamaran is now available for charters for this years Caribbean season. Based in Tortola, she is in the sailing capital of the world. Graced with gentle tides and glorious winds and weather, the BVI is destined to provide you and your family with an unforgettable charter experience. She will finish the Caribbean season and is set to charter this summer in the South of France. She would make the perfect companion for charters around the magnificent Corsica and Sardinia.

You may think that all these green credentials on this brand new catamaran will cause the price to be extremely high. However, you will be delighted to know that she is priced competitively to other crewed catamarans of her size. Therefore, you are getting a brand new catamaran that is in perfect condition and provides no harm to the environment for the same price as a standard catamaran. Win!

DEFIANCE, your ideal Luxury Charter Yacht around Miami and the Bahamas!

Thursday 14th February marked a very special day. Not only was it Valentines Day, but it was in fact the opening day of this years Miami International Boat Show. Spread over 4 venues, this years show brought together the latest marine technology, insurance and clothing, as well as some of the leading luxury yachts from prestigious marks such as Benetti, Riva, Sunseeker and Overmarine. Our Charter Director, Mimi Andain recommended that we should go visit DEFIANCE, a luxurious Mangusta 72, which combines stunning aesthetics with exhilarating speed and comfort.

We were very impressed by this 2007 model, which has just undergone a refit in 2012. She has a very fond owner and this is apparent from the detail throughout. The use of soft wood and light fixtures and fittings make this feel extremely spacious for a 72 foot yacht. The decks on board DEFIANCE offer ample space for at least 3 guests on her bow and 2 on the aft deck to enjoy the glorious weather of Miami and the Bahamas. With the Sunshine state having so many fantastic places to visit, how do you decide which ones to head to? We have put together a four day sample itinerary for Miami, which will show the city at its best!
