Make every charter an event on DEVOCEAN, be it the Cannes Film Festival or just a Family Vacation!

Recently, Tom and Cordy from the Boatbookings team had the pleasure of visiting DEVOCEAN, a majestic 37m Sunseeker!

We were given a most friendly and warm welcome on board by Captain Ivan whose enthusiasm was great to see on a wet Tuesday morning in the South of France (it doesn’t rain that often!). After discussing Ivan’s illustrious career in yachting in the spacious, tasteful and homely main saloon over one of the best Espressos we’d ever had, it was time to take a look round DEVOCEAN’s interior spaces.

The master cabin is situated forward of the main saloon. Classically appointed with oak panelling and including a comfortable private seating area, this master is truly a home away from home for any discerning charter guest. The full beam bathroom with his and her sinks and whirlpool bath tub ensures total comfort. Below decks are four further guest cabins, each beautifully finished with predictable Sunseeker attention to detail and style. The twin cabin is laid out for 3 guests with a pullman bunk bed berth. This cabin can be converted into a double making DEVOCEAN flexible, perfect for families or friends.

As amazing as the interior is, it is only half of the story! Step outside and be amazed by the amount of deck space at your disposal. Choose from any one of the 3 decks and you won’t be disappointed! Enjoy casual aft-deck dining for lunch or breakfast before heading up to the top sun deck to spend the morning relaxing and sunbathing or wallowing in the jacuzzi. At lunch time, head downstairs to the large dining table and enjoy a fantastic freshly and expertly prepared lunch, or stay on the sun-deck for an informal barbecue before settling down for another indulgent afternoon on the water. For active and younger charter guests, there is a great selection of water toys; jet skis, sea bobs, fishing and diving equipment are sure to keep everyone entertained.

DEVOCEAN has also recently become available for event charters and would be perfect for hosting large groups of up to 50 people at dock. Based in Juan Les Pins, she is perfect for MIPIM, CANNES LIONS and the CANNES FILM FESTIVAL. Her exceptional crew and huge deck spaces make her perfect for hosting larger groups. DEVOCEAN would certainly make any corporate or private charterer stand out on the glamorous French Riviera.

How to Obtain a Berth in Cannes – Get the Prime Location for the Film Festival

Are you looking to host your event, whether for business or pleasure, in Cannes? How about getting a berth in Cannes in the prime location? If you are interested in obtaining a Berth at Cannes right next to the Palais des Festivals, along the Jetée Albert Edouard, Boatbookings can help you.

There is a very specific process to follow when you apply for a berth in Cannes, no queue jumping allowed! Everybody has to follow the same rules when submitting a berth application – whether you’re famous or not, it’s all done in the same way. The berths at Cannes work on a first come, first serve basis; you need to plan ahead in order to get the best spot. In order to apply for the berth, you are required to chow the charter contract, company documentation, yacht license and documentation, and fill out an extensive application
form. This all then needs to be delivered to to Capitainerie (Port Office) and must be in perfect order otherwise it will be rejected – detail is key.

Boatbookings has years of experience getting berths for our clients during shows such as MIPIM, MIPCOM and, of course, the Cannes Film Festival. We would be more than happy to find you the perfect charter yacht and submit the berth application! As you can see, you need to be ahead of the game to obtain a berth, prepared with your charter yacht and ready to go, so charter with Boatbookings today.

One of our favourite yachts for event charters on the French Riviera is this Spertini Alalunga, ANTISAN. With a capacity of 70 guests at dock and 40 at sea, she is perfect for your Cannes event charter, be it a business meeting, evening cocktails or birthday party. ANTISAN has sprawling decks and spacious interiors, there is plenty
of room for you and your guests on board without it getting busy.

ANTISAN’s interiors are neutrally decorated, fitted out elegantly with furniture in walnut and expertly matched pastel coloured fabrics. The living area has a spacious sitting-room with plasma TV and BOSE Sound System, which is great for putting on some background music while entertaining your guests, and a separate dining room. Outside on deck, ANTISAN affords a large cockpit astern with a table for 10/12 guests, while forward there’s a spacious sun-deck. The enormous upper deck is certainly another of ANTISAN’s strengths; here you can lie on a large sun-deck or sit on the comfortable sofas in the shade of the bimini, which is also perfect for dinner under the stars.

At www.boatbookings.com, we are here to help you plan your perfect luxury yachting holiday. We have a team of highly skilled professionals who are extremely knowledgeable in their destinations and will be able to help you bring together the yacht, the crew and all the other aspects that make your charter special.

The Custom Built 23m luxury motor yacht RUM JUNGLE will be spending the next few months in the Mediterranean and is available for charter until May time when she will return to her usual base of the UK.

RUM JUNGLE is the perfect yacht for many occasions, whether that being for entertaining 40 guests for the Cannes Film Festival, MIPIM or any other corporate event, or a week of cruising for up to 10 guests in 5 beautiful en suite cabins on the Mediterranean.

She has often been called the “pocket super yacht”, which amazingly manages to accommodate a large amount of guests in what some may think is a limited amount of space on board, with only 23m length, but she does so with ease, presenting clients with a spacious setting for their charter.

Luxury Event Yacht Charter for MIPIM 2013

MIPIM 2013 will take place between 12-15th March and will bring together all of the key players in the global property market. The Palais des Festival Cannes at the heart of the Croisette is the perfect venue for this prestigious annual event. The show provides unrivalled access to world leaders, including the greatest number of development projects and sources of capital worldwide. This year, it is estimated that there will be around 200 exhibitors from 70 countries.

We believe that the best way to enjoy large corporate events such as MIPIM in complete luxury is to charter a luxury motor yacht with a berth at the Vieux Port de Cannes. Traditionally, a key element of the show revolves around the many Super Yachts docked directly adjacent to the Palais des Festivals in the Old Port of Cannes, providing hospitality suites for entertaining and deal closing. Located right next to the Palais des Festival, the old port provides great proximity to all events, whilst giving guests more space and better service than in a hotel. Do you want to hold important business meetings or evening cocktail parties in style? If so, chartering a luxury motor yacht is definitely for you.

POWDERMONKEY is one of our favourite yachts for charter on the French Riviera. This Falcon 100 provides great accommodation for up to 10 guests in 5 luxurious cabins. Each cabin has an en-suite, making her an idea choice for large events such as MIPIM 2013. She has a great saloon for welcoming guests, as well as a Flybridge to enjoy cocktails, whilst watching the sunset over Le Suquet.

ANTISAN is another of our favourite yachts for large events, especially because of her Italian crew that never disappoint. This Alalunga 110ft luxury motor yacht provides comfortable accommodation for 10 guests in 5 cabins. She is the perfect yacht for entertaining, thanks to her open-plan saloon, decking and lounging areas. Her crew have great experience at offering great service for events for up to 70 guests, as well as having one of the best chefs around. She has a great BOSE sound system and a Jacuzzi, making this yacht a great choice for your MIPIM 2013.

Boatbookings.com specialises in providing boats of all kinds for MIPIM, from SuperYachts to Event Yachts to Excursions. We will recommend yachts that are best for these type of events, secure the berth, and work with you every step of the way to assure the success of your charter.

If you would like to find out more about MIPIM 2013, including how to charter a luxury yacht and applying for a berth, please contact us via our website or send an email to [email protected].
