The continuing star of the Mediterranean has got to be the island of Mallorca. With sunshine from April to October, glistening turquoise waters, over 200 miles of stunning coastline and hundreds of beaches and coves only accessible by sea, it is no wonder that people flock to the island year after year. There is no better way to discover the beauty of Mallorca than by sea aboard a stunning classic yacht.
The mid-summer parties in Ibiza are in full swing and it would seem that anyone who is anyone has upped sticks and set up camp in the Balearic Islands. Word has clearly got out that the best way to enjoy this slice of heaven off the coast of Spain is on a yacht. Made in Chelsea’s Millie Mackintosh has been spotted on the aft deck sunbathing topless and Neymar has decided that the best way to recover from a broken back is to kick back on the stunning PETARDO C.
There’s something for all you Justin Bieber fans as well. Considering Orlando Bloom’s popularity rating’s are now sky high having punched the Canadian singer, it would appear there aren’t many of you, but alas, it seems like there are still a couple of people willing to put up with him. He’s been seen off the coast of Formentera, trying out the latest and most exciting water toy, the flyboard while aboard ECSTASEA, the 86m feadship, designed and formerly owned by Russian oligarch, Roman Abramovich.
Bieber is about as good on the flyboard as he is in a boxing match, however the same cannot be said of his guest, Fast and Furious star Michelle Rodriguez who, when not cosied up next to her latest fling, Zac Efron, proves to be a comparative pro on the jet powered water toy.
Rather than sitting at home and seething with jealousy, why not get out there and join them? JAZZ OF MONACO is a fantastic yacht for treating your friends and family. The 30m Benetti has an astonishing amount of outside space across 3 decks.
Dine al fresco on the bridge deck before moving up to the fly deck to soak up some sun and then relax with a cocktail on the aft deck as the sun goes down. A week spent enjoying perfect days like this can be your’s for the excellent price of 53,000€!
For a truly unforgettable week in the sun, charter Eddie Jordan’s pride and joy, the brand new, 2014 Sunseeker, BLUSH. Sunseeker’s 155′ flagship is exquisite from every angle.
Above deck you are spoilt for choice. Each deck, forward and aft, is achingly cool, spacious and comfortable and there are few better ways to spend an afternoon that soaking in a jacuzzi, watching the world go by.
The interior has been styled meticulously, furnished beautifully and finished with no expense spared. In all, BLUSH is amongst the most desirable yachts on the charter market.
For a week that you will never forget aboard JAZZ OF MONACO or BLUSH, contact the Boatbookings team today.
Chartering a crewed motor yacht around the Balearic Islands has always provided guests with unforgettable memories, sparked by the stunning scenery, crystal clear waters and hedonistic culture. Ibiza is widely regarded as the nightlife capital of the world, yet La Isla Blanca (The White Island) possesses more qualities than the sole ability to host an unforgettable party. Whether it is discovering your very own private bay, sitting down to some of the best seafood in the Med or relaxing with friends at a luxurious beach club, Ibiza is able to please guests of all ages, needs and expectations.
One of our favourite bays is close to the southern town of Porroig, where you will find Es Xarcu restaurant. The restaurant takes pride in its ‘virgin cove’ location, and consequently makes full use of the freshest fish and seafood, which is carefully prepared and cooked in a simple and authentic manner. Prepare yourself for prawns cooked on a charcoal grill, delicious paella with seafood and simply cooked fish with traditional sides. The virgin cove has welcomed some of the most stunning super yachts in the world, including the iconic Motor Yacht A from the Blohm+Voss shipyard, ensuring that you will be in good company.
During a recent business development trip, Charter Brokers Charles and Ben carefully chose to dine at Amante Beach Club, which sits overlooking Sol D’En Serra Bay. Amante won Ibiza’s award for the best beach club in both 2012 and 2013, which does not fully do it justice, as it would be able to compete with the very best beach clubs anywhere in the world. Whether you attend the early morning yoga class followed by breakfast, anchor for lunch or dinner, the Amante experience is one that you will remember forever. Make sure to try the stunning fish stew, comprising of poached monkfish, clams and prawns in an intense, complex, yet beautifully balanced sauce.
Summer 2014 welcomes the impressive Motor Yacht Sensei to Ibiza and the Balearic Islands. Having spent a successful start to the season chartering along the French and Italian Rivieras, she embarks upon a new challenge to impress her charter guests in Ibiza and Mallorca this July and August. The most striking feature of this motor yacht is the amount of space on board for her price. At 39m in length, she boasts 3 stunning decks, which is perfect for entertaining, relaxing and soaking up the golden rays of the Balearics. Sensei hosts 10 guests in 5 spacious cabins, making her ideal for family charters, as well as being able to successfully accommodate large groups of friends. We look forward to receiving your enquiries and helping you plan an unforgettable yacht charter vacation this summer!
This year’s Electric & hybrid Marine World Expo saw the launch of the SWATH Electra Glide Limousine Tender. This revolutionary vessel is the world’s first Carbon Neutral Solar Hybrid SuperYacht Tender that combines both the environmental benefits of solar electric sustainability with the no sea sickness comfort of an anti-roll SWATH vessel.
This boat, built by Nedship, is not short on power and is powered by twin 300hp Regen Electric outboards the Tender’s maximum speed a very impressive 45 knots. Her 20kw a day solar panels produce up to 7Mws annually, which at a speed of 16 knots is enough energy to travel more than 1,000 carbon neutral nautical miles, pretty impressive!
This tender is not just for getting from A to B. This luxurious vessel features a galley and and bar which means she is perfect for day expeditions and for exploring remote and hard to reach beaches and coves on your luxury yacht charter. Other mod-cons include hot and cold air conditioning, surround sound entertainment, two flat screen TVs and opening gull wing windows on each side of the craft.
Richard Sauter Head of design noted “The SWATH Electra Glide Tender takes us to an era of Responsible Luxury Yachting, where zero carbon solar power is a standard requirement and anti-roll, full standing spaciousness is taken for granted.”

From one yacht show to another this week… today sees the beginning of the Superyacht show in Palma, Mallorca. A brokerage and charter show, there’s several well-known charter boats on display with some old favourites and some new to the charter market in Spain. This is only the second edition of the superyacht show, and it has returned following the success of the Palma Superyacht Brokerage and Charter Show in May 2013. This show will continue to only exhibit yachts of an impressive 24 metres and above.
First up is a new addition to the charter market in Spain, POWDERMONKEY. Our team on the French Riviera were gutted to see her leave her prime position in Antibes last year, having received a Spanish charter license, heading to Palma for the upcoming season. This luxury crewed motor yacht offers unrivalled value for money, accommodating up to 10 guests at a very competitive €49,000 per week high season. She’s a fun family boat with spacious cabins, classic interior, fun splashes of colour throughout and an extensive water sports inventory. POWDERMONKEY has had multiple technical and visual upgrades meaning she’s in pristine condition ready for this summer.
Next up is BENITA BLUE from Evolution Yachts in Australia. She combines the weird and wonderful to create extensive space of a much larger yacht. Her sleek, outlandish and bright exterior colouring is contrasted by the quiet cool of her neutral interior. Whilst the owners of BENITA BLUE are keen to move on before the summer season arrives, we’re confident she’ll be back on the charter market in time for high season in the Mediterranean. Again she’s a perfect family boat with two doubles, two twins and a convertible office for an extra two berths.
For more information on chartering either of these two fantastic yachts, to meet us at the Palma show or for luxury yacht charters in the Mediterranean contact us today!
