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.

Charter a Luxury Yacht with Amazing Cupcakes!

With our Managing Director, Capucine de Vallée and Charter Director, Mimi Andain at the 2012 Antigua yacht show, inspecting the finest boats in the market, they told us about LADY ALLIAURA, a Privilege 75 Catamaran which they ranked as one of their top 3 favourite catamarans from Day 1 of the show. They were very complimentary about the food that they were served on board, made by LADY ALLIAURA’s Italian chef; this included home-made bread and cupcakes, and the latter made us start thinking creatively…Boating Baking!

Cupcakes are fast becoming a great power in the culinary world; it makes sense that the luxury yachts are going to start serving them on board. If you’re looking to charter a yacht as part of a celebration, whether a birthday, anniversary or wedding, being able to serve mini celebration cakes on board is fantastic! So, to get the process started,
we have had a look around for nautical and yacht themed baking treats.

So, if you’re looking to charter a luxury yacht with us and want something to get you excited, here is a simple recipe to make cupcakes:

100g caster sugar
100g unsalted butter
100g self raising flour
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C, line a cupcake tray with cases
Cream the caster sugar and butter, until light and fluffy.
Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl, then add gradually to sugar and butter, making sure they are mixed in well
Fold in the flour
Divide between the cupcake cases.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until they are springy to the touch

For the buttercream icing:

250g icing sugar
80g unsalted butter at room temperature
25ml milk
A few drops of vanilla essence

Mix together the icing sugar and butter (carefully!)
Gradually mix in the milk and vanilla essence, here you can add food colouring if you want (preferably blue to match the nautical theme!)
Ice your cakes!

The beach encourages visitors from the sea; there is a water taxi available if needed, so it is a very welcoming location for anyone who wants to make a stop while cruising the French Riviera.

The Latest Water Toy for your Luxury Yacht Charter!

Water toys are an essential part to a Luxury Yacht Charter in the 21st Century. Ranging from tubes to motorised See-Doo’s and Wave Runners, water toys cater for the whole family like never before. One of the latest and most exciting that we have come across so far this year is the ‘Subwing’, which aims to redefine underwater fun by enabling the user to perform a host of thrilling acrobatics, while being in complete control of movement. The Subwing can be towed safely behind a boat up to speeds of 4 knots and is easily dismantled to a compact state, which is perfect for transportation and storage.

You may automatically associate water toys with crewed motor yachts but you must remember that most yachts, including Bareboat Monohulls and Catamarans will have a tender. One of our favourite Luxury Crewed Caribbean yachts is ICARUS, a Jongert 27m monohull, accommodating up to 6 guests in 3 stunning cabins.She has an extensive range of water toys, including water skis, wakeboards and tubes to keep the whole family entertained. She has a dynamic young crew with a can-do attitude, who will attend to your every need to ensure maximum enjoyment on board. She is available for charter from the Caribbean in the Winter and the West Med in Summer.

If you would like to receive more information with regards to booking your luxury 2013 charter yacht, please enquire through our website, where one of our senior brokers will be happy to help you plan the experience of a lifetime. You can also send your charter enquiries to [email protected] where our broker in your desired region will contact you and send you some suitable proposals.
