How to charter a yacht for the Monaco Grand Prix

We are getting lots of enquiries about how to charter a yacht and get tickets for the Monaco Grand Prix in May, 2007.  Basically, it’s virtually impossible and incredibly expensive at this time to get a berth in the Port of Monaco.  All of those prescious slips are taken by sponsors or repeaters at the event.

But not to worry, you can still participate at the Monaco Grand Prix!  Most people just charter a boat, and anchor either outside the Port of Monaco or in neighboring bays such as Villefranche.  There is a great party atmosphere in these aress for the entire weekend. Then you purchase tickets at one of the many hospitality events, where you have lunch and a great view of the race from a high rise.

Happy New Year!

A belated Happy New Year from Boatbloggings and Boatbookings.com.  We’ve been extremely busy getting lots of customers on boats in the Caribbean (Crewed Catamarans keep getting more and more popular) and getting ready for the Summer High season in the Mediterranean.  We were just at the London Boat show last week and will have hundreds of new great charter boats for you.

We’ve expecially increased our selection of quality yachts in the UK, Greece, Turkey and Croatia this year, to compliment our boats already in Spain and France. We’ve also staffed up to make sure we have an expert on the area you’re looking for!  So if you have a question or comment about yachting, make a post or contact us at www.boatbookings.com

As a continuing note, see our specials page, and sign up for our RSS feed of Charter Special Offers and Last Minute Deals.

MIPIM accommodation availability – rent a boat!

MIPIM, the Cannes-based Real Estate show running the 13th to 16th of March, has always been a great Yacht Show.  Super Yachts and Classic Yachts make great meeting rooms and entertainment venues.  But did you know that perhaps the best place to stay during the show is on a yacht?  Virtually all of the hotels and apartments in Cannes have been sold out for months.  But there are still lots of boats available in the Pierre Canto port that you can stay on and will drive you right to the Palais des Festivals when you need it.  Some of the boats available are listed here.
