EMOTION – THE Luxury Charter Yacht for a Family Charter in the Mediterranean in Summer 2014

Recently, Cordy and Tom from the Boatbookings team were fortunate enough to visit EMOTION, a striking and impressive 43m CRN motor yacht.

After stepping onto the yacht and entering the main saloon, a feeling of opulence and warmth is immediately apparent. Her interior styling is homely and comfortable creating a feeling of space seldom found on a yacht of her size. This feeling of space continues after climbing her wide staircases up to the third and most impressive sun deck. Once on the top deck, guests will be spoilt with several comfortable lounging areas, a bar, barbecue and a jacuzzi. If the midday Mediterranean sun becomes too strong, there are two large and movable sun parasols to provide guests with some welcome shade.

Moving down to the main deck, guests will find an impressive wooden outside dining table with seating for 12, completely private and not visible from the quayside. After dark the cosy sky lounge with generous and comfortable seating options doubles as a cinema room with surround sound and 60? plasma screen, perfect for a family movie nights.

Her five well proportioned and tastefully appointed cabins provide accommodation that will more than satisfy any discerning guest looking for a home away from home. The real feature of the master cabin is the astonishing private balcony with table and chairs for two. Magnificent views can be enjoyed through the full length window or this can be fully opened for a true alfresco experience.

Thrill seeking guests will be kept busy with the two 230hp Yamaha SHOO jet skis that EMOTION has on board as well as two seabobs, a wakeboard, waterskis, inflatable trampoline and more! For active charterers and their guests there is a small fully equipped gym on the lower deck with cardio equipment and electric weights machine. Why not open the double doors for an amazing sea view whilst you work out!

Serious horsepower!

Enquire today to charter EMOTION next summer in the West Mediterranean for the luxury yacht charter of a lifetime!

Make every charter an event on DEVOCEAN, be it the Cannes Film Festival or just a Family Vacation!

Recently, Tom and Cordy from the Boatbookings team had the pleasure of visiting DEVOCEAN, a majestic 37m Sunseeker!

We were given a most friendly and warm welcome on board by Captain Ivan whose enthusiasm was great to see on a wet Tuesday morning in the South of France (it doesn’t rain that often!). After discussing Ivan’s illustrious career in yachting in the spacious, tasteful and homely main saloon over one of the best Espressos we’d ever had, it was time to take a look round DEVOCEAN’s interior spaces.

The master cabin is situated forward of the main saloon. Classically appointed with oak panelling and including a comfortable private seating area, this master is truly a home away from home for any discerning charter guest. The full beam bathroom with his and her sinks and whirlpool bath tub ensures total comfort. Below decks are four further guest cabins, each beautifully finished with predictable Sunseeker attention to detail and style. The twin cabin is laid out for 3 guests with a pullman bunk bed berth. This cabin can be converted into a double making DEVOCEAN flexible, perfect for families or friends.

As amazing as the interior is, it is only half of the story! Step outside and be amazed by the amount of deck space at your disposal. Choose from any one of the 3 decks and you won’t be disappointed! Enjoy casual aft-deck dining for lunch or breakfast before heading up to the top sun deck to spend the morning relaxing and sunbathing or wallowing in the jacuzzi. At lunch time, head downstairs to the large dining table and enjoy a fantastic freshly and expertly prepared lunch, or stay on the sun-deck for an informal barbecue before settling down for another indulgent afternoon on the water. For active and younger charter guests, there is a great selection of water toys; jet skis, sea bobs, fishing and diving equipment are sure to keep everyone entertained.

DEVOCEAN has also recently become available for event charters and would be perfect for hosting large groups of up to 50 people at dock. Based in Juan Les Pins, she is perfect for MIPIM, CANNES LIONS and the CANNES FILM FESTIVAL. Her exceptional crew and huge deck spaces make her perfect for hosting larger groups. DEVOCEAN would certainly make any corporate or private charterer stand out on the glamorous French Riviera.
