Last Saturday, our Caribbean Charter Specialist Meg Toppa attended the Toronto International Boat Show. Along with the weather, attendance was brisk. No doubt dreaming of warmer climates, visitors at the show were climbing in and out of Beneteau’s, Jeanneau’s and checking out the latest gear. Notable yachts on display that caught her eye were the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42DS and Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 36i as well as the Beneteau 34, Beneteau 37 and Beneteau 40. These all have excellent features for charters in the Caribbean – please contact our Ft Lauderdale office if you would like to experience one of these yachts on the water!

Haiti Update – do not try to take a boat there!
We’ve had several enquiries from people who have relatives and friends in Haiti who want to charter a buy cialis tabs yacht there to get them out. Please do not attempt to do this!

Boatbookings to donate 2% of January revenues to Haiti Relief
We are all horrified and sadened by the events in Haiti, and we feel a particular affinity for the Haitians given that they are in the Caribbean, where we do so many charters. So, in our effort to help, we will be donating 2% of our revenues in January 2010 to help heal and rebuild Haiti. Funds will be given to the Stand with Haiti fund.
Our hearts go out to the survivors, and hope that our contribution can make a difference.
If you are interested in helping out in Haiti, here’s a charity we recommend. Our hearts go out to all the people of Haiti!
Monaco Grand Prix Date Change Provides Opportunity to Better Experience the Grand Prix and the Cannes Film Festival
Traditionally, the Monaco Grand Prix overlapped with the final weekend of the Cannes Film Festival. So if you were interested in attending both, you were in a mad scramble up and down the Cote d’Azur coast to get to all the events you wanted, and invariably you’d miss several.
This year, however, the Monaco Grand Prix has been moved to the weekend before the end of the Film Festival 13 to 16 May 2010. The Cannes Film Festival will be held 12 – 23 May 2010 – so there will be plenty of premieres and parties to attend, but there won’t be a conflict on the final award night.
So, this year, you have a chance to really experience both events to their fullest – charter a yacht starting on the 13 to watch the warm ups and time trials and experience Monaco at its best, and then move over to anchor in Cannes to attend the movies and events, hob nob with the stars, and be there on the final night when the winners are announced! Throughout, you can use the wifi and business facilities aboard your yacht to keep up with the office, and plan some client entertainment events to fully profit from this festive atmosphere!
Read more about Chartering for the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix – we have extensive information about the events, yachts available and how to go about chartering for these events. And please contact us for a free proposal about how to enjoy these glamorous events!
If you can only make one of the events, the good news is that there should be a better selection of yachts for each event, because there will not be such a crush of demand for the one weekend.
