Heesen Yachts Unveils a New 58m Superyacht Design

The partnership of Heesen Yachts and Francesco Paszkowski has, in the past days, released a brand new 58m design. With stylistic elements taken from automotive and aeronautical vehicles, the yacht looks classy and modern, with curved lines at every angle.

The design, from every perspective, has been thought through entirely. The sun-bed area on the fore-deck contribute to the sleek look of the new Heesen. Indeed the stern of the 58m Francesco Pazskowski yacht design is very distinctive with its swim-platform embellished with full-width steps, symmetric stairs around the sun-pads to access the aft deck and the two unconventional openings for the mooring springs. The elongated swim deck furthers the elegant image which this new design portrays, as she glides through the water with grace, seen in each image.

An unusual design feature, however, is located on the fore deck where a bimini lifts up to reveal and shade an open-air lounge space. Guests are accommodated in five cabins. The full-beam master suite is traditionally located on the main deck, while the rest of the guests are on the lower deck in two twins and two double cabins.

Whilst this stunning yacht isn’t yet on the market for charter, there are plenty of other Heesens which are. AT LAST is a beautiful 44m model, which oozes tradition and class. She is available for charter in the Bahamas, complimented with all the water toys you could wish for, including a fully inflatable slide. She has plenty of space in all cabins for all guests, and accommodates up to 11 guests in 5 cabins. With a crew of 8, your every need will be tended to and you will be sure to have the charter of a lifetime.

New Releases at the London Boat Show 2013!

The London Boat Show 2013 is set to commence on Saturday 12th January at the ExCel Arena, London and is a great show to start the new season. The show does not only showcase some of the latest yacht releases from Prestige, Fairline and Sunseeker, but the very best yachting equipment and gadgets, as well as seminars from marine experts. With tickets priced from £10 and just £20 for a Champagne VIP ticket, the show is very well priced, especially when kids go free with a paying adult.

Two of the most exciting new releases come from the British manufacturer Sunseeker with the Predator 68 and San Remo motor yachts. The Predator 68 brings together all of the qualities from the previous model with its sleek lines, performance and comfort for 6 guests and 2 crew. Light has been maximised through the deck saloon, creating a superb lounge and all-weather dining area. Sunbathing fanatics will not be disappointed with great spaces to the aft and bow decks, as well as a hydraulic swim platform, making this yacht suitable to those who struggle with mobility. Top speeds are likely to be around 33 knots, with a cruising speed of 24 knots and a range of 300 nautical miles.

The San Remo luxury motor yacht from Sunseeker is a great all rounder, combining all of the qualities of a day charter yacht with the space and elegance required for those longer charters. Expect to see typical Sunseeker styling with sweeping lines, a classic or contemporary interior and great build quality. At 52 ft in length, this Sunseeker sport cruiser is said to be a joy for both driver and passanger and we predict this will be one of the most popular motor boats in its category.

Have you never chartered before? 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.

Luxury Charter Yacht RUM JUNGLE Available in the West Mediterranean!

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.

Princess Yachts Release Brand New 56 Model

Having been so successful with the 54 model, Princess Yachts have recently released the new and fantastic 56. On first inspection, these two models look extremely alike, but the new Princess 56 is actually 4ft longer, and has had 7in added to it's beam. This makes it a 60ft yacht, spacious inside and on her flybridge, which is now much longer.

The interior space is extraordinary for a yacht of this size; in each of her cabins and heads she has 6ft 2in of headroom. Each of her 3 cabins is spacious and this is down to the fact that on this new model, the galley area has been placed at deck level. This may slightly impose upon the saloon area, but Princess have not taken anything away from the seating area.

The master cabin is much brighter than its predecessor, as Princess have replaced three small windows with two, much larger, one pane windows, looking out onto the beauty of the waters and destinations where you are moored. The master has an en suite, while the two guest cabins share one head between them.

An absolutely brilliant feature of the new Princess 56 is the seating area on her flybridge. The base of the seat pulls away and once an infill cushion has been placed, the “seat” has now become a little sunpad.

For those looking to buy a yacht, this Princess 56 is available at around £1,000,000, and will provide you with luxury and stability in a stunning yacht for years to come.

For charter on the other hand, we have lots of Princess yachts available. One of our favourite of these is the wonderful SORANA, a 67 foot Princess with a flybridge. She has a fun yet professional crew and is perfect for a charter in the Caribbean.

Don't fancy a Princess, but looking to charter a yacht? Head to www.boatbookings.com, the leading online yacht charter broker, or email us at [email protected] and one of our Charter Specialists will get back to you shortly.
