A New Era for Sunseeker

A new era of Sunseekers is upon us. Managing director, Stewart McIntyre, is due to step down at the end of the month after five years at the top. The chairman of Wanda, Sunseeker’s parent company, Wang Jianlin has announced his intention to, “Transform Sunseeker to the next generation of success.” Here at Boatbookings, we’re huge fans of Sunseeker as it is so the prospect of further progress is mouthwatering.

HIGH ENERGY is the latest 28m Sunseeker to hit the charter market. Based in the South of France, Sunseeker describe her as “Daring and dramatic.” She cruises at 20 knots, is styled exquisitely, and finished impeccably, making her a superb balance of performance and comfort.

The contemporary yet elegant saloon features a magnificent blend of dark woods and light furnishings. Full length windows on either side offer uninterrupted, panoramic views as well as allowing natural light to pour in, creating a light and airy feel.

The 4 staterooms are superb, especially for a yacht of her size. All are indulgently spacious, inviting and traditionally styled. What else would you expect from the best of British craftsmanship? To top things off, zero speed stabilisers will ensure that you are as comfortable as possible

Above deck, HIGH ENERGY is just as impressive. Dine al fresco on the aft deck, soak up some rays on the forward deck, either under power or at anchor, or cool off in the jacuzzi on the flybridge, the choice is your’s.

HIGH ENERGY is just one of a range of beautiful Sunseekers available for charter. To charter your own, contact the Boatbookings team today.

Cutting Edge Technology Unveiled in Monte Carlo

Racing is as much a part of Monaco as tennis is a part of Wimbledon. Earlier this year, thousands of spectators watched as Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton furthered Mercedes domination at the Monaco Grand Prix in a season which has seen a huge step forward in the engineering in the cars and a move to hybrid engines. The racing in Monaco is far from over however and the boating world is certainly not being left behind in terms of innovation as the Solar1 cup came to Monte Carlo.

29 teams from 11 different countries arrived with their entirely solar powered boats for a weekend of racing. The President of Solar1, Sergei Dobroserdov, sees Solar1, “As a great opportunity to animate and excite a new generation.” The likes of Mangusta are as popular as ever in the yachting industry but, just as the Toyota Prius has come to rival V8 powered sports cars, so we might anticipate a new range of luxury yachts in the near future.

For those of you who are worried that a new era of fuel efficient yachts will come at the expense of design, luxury and comfort, look no further than M OCEAN. She showcases fine Italian design with every conceivable comfort whilst 8 solar panels power all of the electrics on board and the hybrid engine allows her to travel up to 8 knots in total silence.

On board, the stunning aft deck is vast and merges seamlessly with an elegant and airy, open-plan salon. Those looking to work on their tan can happily spent hours on large sun pads on the flydeck or soaking in the jacuzzi on the forward main deck.

Below deck the saloons are magnificently lit by large windows offering panoramic views but pull the blinds down and enjoy an intimate cosy atmosphere in which to enjoy a film in the evening.

M OCEAN is available to charter in the South of France. If you are interested in chartering her or any of our extensive range of yachts, please don’t hesitate to contact the Boatbookings team.

HIGHLANDER – The Forbes Family Superyacht enters the Charter Market!

HIGHLANDER, built in 1986 for Malcolm Forbes, the editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine boasts entertaining celebrity guests such as Ronald Regan, Baroness Thatcher, Liz Taylor and Sir Paul McCartney. Previously based on the East Coast of the US, offering famous “money tours” with her money-green hull, HIGHLANDER is now available for charter on the French Riviera.

Recently acquired by American financier Roberto di Guardiola, who has extensively re-fitted the yacht in a hugely sympathetic manner, she now feels like a yacht of the modern day but still boasts the prowess and tour de force of those who have walked her beautiful teak decks. Following Malcolm’s death in the 1990s, his son Scott recalled entertaining the late Baroness Thatcher and her husband Denis when he was seeking Republican Presidential candidate nomination in 2000.

Admittedly it’s easy to see why heritage alone may tempt you into chartering HIGHLANDER but with a new offering of 162-feet of living space, a classic tender, expansive sundecks, gym facilities and an outstanding design including her freshly painted dark and dominating hull she sells herself even without reeling off her impressive CV of guests.

For more information on this stunning super yacht like no other contact us today.
