A gathering not to be missed – The Rodriguez Group Rendez-Vous in St Tropez

Saturday 27th July will mark the 19th Edition of the Rodriguez Group Rendez-Vous in the heart of St. Tropez. This event involves a culmination of staff, loyal owners, future clients and big names in the business coming together to celebrate the successes of this yachting giant. The event is celebrated with up to 40 of the group's newest and finest yachts on display, lavish fireworks and plenty of media coverage to guarantee no spectacle goes unnoticed.

Last year saw the Rodriguez Group celebrate their 40th anniversary with the largest Rendez-Vous to date with 800 guests marking the landmark year, and this year will no doubt succeed in impressing with the same level of grandeur and prowess this company possesses.

The Rodriguez Group are responsible for big names such as Mangusta and Pershing, cementing them comfortably towards the top of the finest yachting groups in the world. Since 1972, they have been surprising and innovating the industry with luxury motor yachts in along the Mediterranean. Mangusta in particular with their large super yachts that still manage class leading cruising speeds.

LES is a Mangusta 108, a prime example of magnificent engineering combined with sleek Italian design, is without doubt a jewel in the Rodriguez Group's yachting crown. She has masses of space both inside and outside, providing the charter with ample space to relax and enjoy the Mediterranean climate. As well as this, LES maintains a mesmerising cruising speed of 35 knots despite her 33.5 metre length, meaning she combines both speed and luxury to become the dream charter. She even oozes Italian style with her aft sunbathing area that actually doubles up as a large jacuzzi! LES is perfect for large groups to enjoy her array of amenities and toys, or even for the ultimate luxurious corporate charter.

Our second choice for your day charter is DELHIA, a Mangusta 92, accommodating for up to 11 guests for day charters along the French Riviera. Charter Brokers Ben and Adam recently saw her and were both amazed by her crew and the food prepared on board. Ben said, about the food, “the preparation on DELHIA was second to none, I would highly recommend trying the chicken in soy and honey sauce!” She has a large open interior, and our favourite space on board was on the aft deck, DELHIA is available at a daily rate of €8,125 plus expenses.

Our third and final option is a new yacht to the charter market. The Sessa C48, a slightly smaller option, offers guests an extremely luxurious day out on board.
