Happy New Year!

A belated Happy New Year from Boatbloggings and Boatbookings.com.  We’ve been extremely busy getting lots of customers on boats in the Caribbean (Crewed Catamarans keep getting more and more popular) and getting ready for the Summer High season in the Mediterranean.  We were just at the London Boat show last week and will have hundreds of new great charter boats for you.

We’ve expecially increased our selection of quality yachts in the UK, Greece, Turkey and Croatia this year, to compliment our boats already in Spain and France. We’ve also staffed up to make sure we have an expert on the area you’re looking for!  So if you have a question or comment about yachting, make a post or contact us at www.boatbookings.com

As a continuing note, see our specials page, and sign up for our RSS feed of Charter Special Offers and Last Minute Deals. 

We have just found FOUR boats with berths in the Cannes Old Port for MIPIM!  No one else has any accomodation, so call us immediately!  +33 (0)6 6185 1527

MIPIM accommodation availability – rent a boat!

MIPIM, the Cannes-based Real Estate show running the 13th to 16th of March, has always been a great Yacht Show.  Super Yachts and Classic Yachts make great meeting rooms and entertainment venues.  But did you know that perhaps the best place to stay during the show is on a yacht?  Virtually all of the hotels and apartments in Cannes have been sold out for months.  But there are still lots of boats available in the Pierre Canto port that you can stay on and will drive you right to the Palais des Festivals when you need it.  Some of the boats available are listed here.

Barge and Canal Charters

It sounds a bit, we’ll, old fashioned, but more and more people are finding that a Charter on a Canal Barge can make for a wonderful, relaxing and stress-free holiday.  Barges have evolved into comfortable, even luxurious charter boats, and you’re always close to lots of activities such as bike riding, exploring quaint towns, and sightseeing.  Boatbookings.com has sourced lots of great barges for charter – read more about it here.
