The Ultimate Water Toy – A Water Powered Jet Pack that Allows You to Fly!

Have you ever dreamed that you could fly ? Well now you can with this new water powered jet pack. Your flight begins as a 200-HorsePower marine engine pumps water up a 33-foot hose at over 1,000 gallons-per-minute, generating over 420 pounds of thrust.When the water reaches the ultra-light backpack, it’s directed through two nozzles at up to 60 pounds-per-square-inch and you’re airborne!

Aiming the nozzles creates smooth, stable turns. And the motorcycle-style throttle lets you climb, dive and hover up to 30 feet above the surface. The safety harness and trapeze keep you in optimal flying position, while the fuel-efficient motor gives you hours of flight on a single tank of high-octane gasoline.

This water toy includes a jet pack made out of carbon fiber and is attached to a small boat (3 meters long) that sucks the water in, sends it through a big hose that brings the water up to the jet pack.

Given the “arms race” we see on super yachts competing for the coolest water toys, many will start adding the jet pack for the upcoming charter season!

At www.boatbookings.com, we welcome everyone from sailing professionals to complete novices and will help you at every step of the way to make your dreams a reality. We have a team of highly skilled professionals who are extremely knowledgeable in their destinations and will be able to help you with any questions you may have.

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!

A Few More Toys for Your Luxury Yacht Experience!

One of the main things that interest many of us are the water toys available on board your luxury yacht. We know how important water toys are for some people, and they get more and more exciting and innovative as time goes on.

The Inflatable Climbing wall. This exciting design from Green Yachts means you can scale the side of your yacht! Not only is it fun for all ages, the climbing wall also provides some great exercise and challenges – with three different routes of varying difficulty, designed by professional rock climbers, you can put your climbing skills to the test. Furthermore, you don’t even need to fuss around with harnesses and other things that may put you off on land. With this wall, there’s nothing to worry about – if you fall, you just splash in to the sea!

For those of you looking for something slightly more relaxing, how about a Hot Tub Boat? A revolutionary design, which indulges in luxury. A merge between the classic wooden boat and the radical addition of the jacuzzi, this idea is amazing! If there’s no room on your yacht for a jacuzzi, why not have one on your tender instead?

If the water toys are a big deal for you on your charter, we have the yacht for you. O’MEGA, a Mitsubishi design, is one of the most luxurious yachts in the world. Accommodating up to 30 guests in 15 cabins, you can cruise the French Riviera in style. She has plenty to keep you entertained including water toys, spacious decks for sunbathing and a jacuzzi. Indulge in fine dining and a few cocktails in the evening, before retreating to beautifully furnished cabins to spend the night. Whether you want to be active or just chill out,
O’MEGA will meet your needs.

Water Toys For Your Luxury Yacht Charter Part II

Following on from the incredible water toys described in Part I, we plan to follow suit with two more of the coolest water toys for your yacht! Water toys are often a defining part of a charter, if two yachts are identical, the only two things that will differ (other than the interior) are crew and water toys, which we believe are both very important.

Flyboard

Have you ever really wanted to pretend you were a dolphin? No? Well you might just want to after seeing the Flyboard. We are in absolute awe and we’re looking forward to upcoming seasons where lots of charter yachts have these water toys – because we know they’d be an absolute hit! Available from as little as £4,100 for personal purchasers, we know this is a great buy – maybe even an extravagant Christmas present if it suits!

Seabreacher

New to the water toys market is the Seabreacher, a capsule jetski type contraption, which comes in various different styles, a Killer Whale, a Shark and a Dolphin to name a few.

An option of a yacht that has lots of water toys is always a great choice, which is why we recommend this fantastic Sunseeker 82, available for charter in Cannes, Antibes, Juan les Pins and Golfe Juan, at a rate of €32400 per week plus expenses. For an 82 foot yacht, she has plenty of water toys for your charter, a tender with donuts and water skis, great fun for all the family!

If you’re looking for more water toys to be available during your charter on a slightly larger yacht, please do email all your enquiries to [email protected] and one of our Charter Specialists will get back to you very shortly! Alternatively, head over to www.boatbookings.com, the leading online yacht charter broker.
