The next question is, “Where is New Caledonia?”, and most people might guess somewhere near Canada…..or even Scotland! This is what makes it one of the best kept sailing secrets in the South Pacific.

The yachting industry in Asia is bigger than ever and well on its way to booming. With ever more yacht enthusiasts looking to explore the Far East in search of something new and exciting, more of the world’s most impressive yachts are making their way east. This was abundantly evident at the recent Singapore Yacht Show last week. Whilst not yet as big as some of the yacht shows in Monaco and Antibes for example, the Singapore Yacht Show is a great place to get aboard some truly amazing yachts with many yachts offering guided tours; giving you the chance to see what super yachts are all about.
In our preview blog a couple of weeks ago, CLOUD 9 was touted as one of the potential highlights of the show. Boatbooking’s charter expert in Asia, Kevin, was lucky enough to look around her and reports that she most certainly lives up to the billing. Massive amounts of light streams into an indulgently spacious yacht whilst the garage stocks every water toy known to man.
Kevin has also been raving about KERI LEE III. The owner’s wife is an interior designer and, judging from the finish found on board, she won’t be out of pocket any time soon. Better resembling a grand mansion than a yacht, KERI LEE III is decorated impeccably with original artwork, French antiques as well as glorious marble linings and the most inviting of salons.
No expense has been spared in order to create a yacht which is quintessentially luxurious throughout. A magnificent spiral staircase connects the three stunning interior levels. The sky lounge is nothing short of jaw dropping, featuring everything that you could possibly want for the perfect day.
Dine al fresco, lounge in the sun, cool off in front of a film in the jacuzzi and then clear everything away, turn the music up and dance the night away. KERI LEE III has it all and sums up what luxury yachting is all about.
Bora Bora. The name instantly conjures up images of wonder and enchantment – here, paradise has certainly been found. The tropical island in French Polynesia is one of the most romantic destinations in the world, boasting beautiful beaches, fabulous flora and fauna and sublime sunsets – and what better way is there to explore its delights by boat? Our 4 Cabin Sunreef 70 Power Catamaran will tailor for your every need, from fine-dining to scuba diving.
Pora Pora – the ancient name, meaning “first born”, came from legends describing it as the first island to rise when the Gods fished it out of the sea. It is a perfect place for ultimate relaxation, but for those who can’t keep still it offers breathtaking views found either by guided walking or 4×4 tours. Explore the sapphire lagoons that dot the island, or submerse yourself in the Coral Gardens’ exquisite ecosystem. The local shops offer amazing artisan products, ranging from perfumes and oils to Tahitian pearls.
Snorkelling and diving is the main tourist attraction – and having been recently refitted as a luxury dive charter yacht, you can dive into an underwater wonderland directly from the boat. Moreover, she offers an array of toys ranging from 2 windsurfs, 2 surfboards, 2 wakeboards, 2 paddle boards, a kayak and snorkelling equipment as well as a 6 meter tender. Her sleek design and wonderfully crafted interior are almost as beautiful as Bora Bora itself! Her professional and discrete crew will further enhance your South Pacific experience. In short, it doesn’t get much better…
