Luxury Motor Yacht AVELLA…a Fantastic Charter Yacht for Events on the Riviera.

Luxury Yacht AvellaMotor Yacht AVELLA is an Azimut 105 that we recently visited in the Old Port of Cannes (see our luxury yachts Cannes). She is an extremely well maintained, elegant and spacious yacht and ideal for corporate events. She was chartered for the MIPIM just a few weeks ago and lined up for the MIPCOM, so she is very used to catering for big groups of people and the captain and crew are experts in doing so. English captain Gary Morton and his friendly crew are extremely accommodating and simply don’t understand the word ‘no’…exactly what you want when doing big events charters!

Up on the top deck of motor yacht AVELLA is a wonderfully spacious seating area, upholstered in stripes to truly give off a nautical ambience. We were told this area is perfect for meetings as it can be expanded and there was also an array of water toys, probably more appropriate for a family charter. On the lower deck is a great al fresco dining area with BBQ and fridge and a sunbathing area at the front of this 33.5m Azimut yacht for soaking up the rays.

Luxury Yacht Avella Deck

Inside this Azimut motor yacht you are welcomed by an open saloon and sleek bar area decorated in a cream and mid oak colour scheme. You are then taken through into a lovely dining area where you will have the opportunity to experience some of the chef’s exquisite recipes. The 4 cabins are spacious and decorated in light, fresh colours and fit very well with the general sophistication and character of this luxury motor yacht.

Please don’t forget the Antibes Yacht Show next week, and also we have many day boats for hire for events of all types in the French Riviera – Please feel free to contact us at any stage, as our team is here to help.

We discovered the definition of a Luxury Charter on board ILLUSION…

Luxury yacht charters Review: Majestically planted amongst the hundreds of yachts in the Old Port of Cannes, ILLUSION certainly stands out with her stunning 3-deck layout, sleek curves and pristine white finish. Whilst we recently had the opportunity to hop onboard and explore the beauty of this 152ft classic Benetti superyacht, we noted that ILLUSION is nothing short of pure luxury.

Upon entering her aft deck, host to a relaxing lounge area and spacious dining table, and through glass doors, we were welcomed into her bright and open saloon, furnished completely in white. The immaculate condition of Illusion and the beautiful attention to detail with the décor, designed by the owner’s wife, certainly add to her appeal. The rich mahogany furnishings throughout the corridors and cabins bring an authentic feeling to this stately vessel yet the fresh whites of the upholstery keep her open and airy. Her length deceives, as the sheer comfort and space onboard the luxury yacht; ILLUSION is a luxury motor yacht with features that you would expect from a much larger yacht.

The bar featured within the saloon offered a great selection of beverages and we were told that one of the crew members is a particularly adept cocktail maker! It was quickly noted that the crew have a fantastic vibe – all of them young, lively and active – and it’s clear they have a solid foundation and have been working together for a while. Claiming that it’s the best sushi they’ve ever tasted, the Australian chef never fails to impress his fellow colleagues with his fantastic Asian cuisine and will guarantee this, along with a whole lot more, on board a luxury yacht charter with ILLUSION.

Up on the top deck, host to yet another open lounge and dining area, is a stunning and spacious sunbathing area and mosaic pool with jets; ideal for soaking up the sun during the day and winding down in the evenings. The lightwood and white exterior give this luxury motor yacht an extremely Zen feel with its minimalistic and modern design, allowing you to truly enjoy a relaxing luxury yacht charter at sea.

On board a timeless Benetti…the perfect Mediterranean family yacht charter with Giorgia.

We recently had the opportunity to hop aboard GIORGIA, an example of immaculate Benetti craftsmanship. With her 3-deck layout, this luxury charter yacht is beautifully maintained and features a spacious and comfortable saloon and a formal silver service dining room on the main deck, as well as a relaxing sky lounge with a bar, ideal for hosting casual drinks.

The spacious and comfortable staircase leads you up to the stunning top deck; home to a lavish area for sun bathing, a Jacuzzi, as well as a barbecue and another bar, perfect for a day of relaxing in the sun.

 

We think Giorgia provides you with everything you need for a fantastic cruise and a great family charter, lead by English Captain Ben Baylis who will go out of his  way to ensure you have a fabulous time. With his extensive knowledge and experience in the industry, you will be guaranteed to discover only the best places  on the Mediterranean.

 

Currently scheduled to go to Croatia this summer, allow yourself to explore this beautiful, up and coming region as well as stopping off on the Italian coast and taking advantage of the fantastic array of water toys available on board.

Accommodating up to 10 guests in 5 luxurious cabins (3 doubles/2 twins) , Giorgia is fully equipped with the latest state of the art entertainment system and will certainly promise a peaceful and enjoyable vacation.

Chartering for Events and Celebrations in Cannes, France

Cannes is perhaps the only city in the world that boasts a world-class conference facility directly adjacent to a port capable of handling superyachts.  This is why so many conferences and festivals such as MIPIM, MIDEM, MIPCOM, Cannes Lions, and of course, the Cannes Film Festival, come back to Cannes each year.

Cannes, with its two ports, nearby islands, quaint Old Town and ample restaurants is also the ideal setting for corporate events, team building and family celebrations.  Put simply, Cannes provides a superb backdrop for virtually any meeting or celebration.

The numerous events in Cannes have spawned a wide selection of yachts that specialize in events of all types.  If you have an event to plan, there are catamarans that holds 56 day passengers for a day cruise to a superyacht that can hold an event for 250, and everything in between. Whereas most luxury yachts can hold a maximum of 12 guests, these yachts have special licensing and insurance so that they can meet your large party’s needs.  Please see our current list of recommended Cannes Event Yachts.

We are releasing this week a newsletter dedicated to Events in the French Riviera, featuring our current selection of top event yachts.  You can get a preview by clicking on our February Newsletter – Events in the South of France. And take a serious look into having fun with your group on the French Riviera, it will be the event of a lifetime!

Our Charter Experts Onboard Luxury Yacht HERA-C: Retro Elegance in a Modern Context

HERA-C is truly a gentleman’s yacht, reminiscent of a period when well-heeled aristocrats dedicated time to the pleasures of cruising for business and pleasure. HERA-C perfectly recreates this era, yet in a modern context.

HERA-C is an ideal charter yacht for the important events season in the South of France. This luxury yacht is an excellent option for discreet charter clients who require lots of space for business meetings and cocktail parties, without breaking the bank.

Luxury yacht HERA-C is totally refit to accommodate the requirements of today’s charter clientele without sacrifice to Old World elegance. Updated interiors are designed to compliment an abundance of rich mahogany. A soothing pale color palette of golden tones, Tiffany turquoise, deep sea blue and crisp white, contrast pleasantly with glossy wood finishes and spotless fixtures.

HERA-C is a veteran at MIPIM, MIPTV, and Cannes, featuring seven distinct meeting areas that can be configured to suit any guest requirement, even in inclement weather. In fact, we visited the yacht during a downpour and can attest to the level of comfort despite the rain. The spacious main deck opens to a well-protected aft deck creating an extensive social space. HERA-C has hosted cocktail affairs of up to 50 guests and dining is available for up to 40 guests with seating for 24 on the upper level and 16 in the main dining area.

HERA-C is a tranquil, comfortable and steady yacht; with a knowledgeable British Captain whose experience navigating the Mediterranean Sea dates back to the launch of this Dutch built, steel hull, displacement yacht. He is very relaxed and delighted to oblige charter clients at any time and most willingly books his time accordingly.

We found the crew to be extremely solicitous and utterly charming, although additional staff will be required for any large-scale social event. The crew is easygoing and particularly skilled with children. On our visit the Chef, who hails from Malta, treated us to a delicate fish with asparagus and a mixed zesty aubergine puree with tasty sun-dried tomato layers. We also indulged in a lovely Piper Heidsick and an excellent white wine pared perfectly with the fish.

HERA-C is a yacht that assures a relaxed yet dignified atmosphere to guests in attendance at the prestigious events scheduled in the South of France. This stylish and seaworthy vessel is still available but, given her previous charter history, is likely to book quickly.
