Princess Yachts Release Brand New 56 Model

Having been so successful with the 54 model, Princess Yachts have recently released the new and fantastic 56. On first inspection, these two models look extremely alike, but the new Princess 56 is actually 4ft longer, and has had 7in added to it's beam. This makes it a 60ft yacht, spacious inside and on her flybridge, which is now much longer.

The interior space is extraordinary for a yacht of this size; in each of her cabins and heads she has 6ft 2in of headroom. Each of her 3 cabins is spacious and this is down to the fact that on this new model, the galley area has been placed at deck level. This may slightly impose upon the saloon area, but Princess have not taken anything away from the seating area.

The master cabin is much brighter than its predecessor, as Princess have replaced three small windows with two, much larger, one pane windows, looking out onto the beauty of the waters and destinations where you are moored. The master has an en suite, while the two guest cabins share one head between them.

An absolutely brilliant feature of the new Princess 56 is the seating area on her flybridge. The base of the seat pulls away and once an infill cushion has been placed, the “seat” has now become a little sunpad.

For those looking to buy a yacht, this Princess 56 is available at around £1,000,000, and will provide you with luxury and stability in a stunning yacht for years to come.

For charter on the other hand, we have lots of Princess yachts available. One of our favourite of these is the wonderful SORANA, a 67 foot Princess with a flybridge. She has a fun yet professional crew and is perfect for a charter in the Caribbean.

Don't fancy a Princess, but looking to charter a yacht? Head to www.boatbookings.com, the leading online yacht charter broker, or email us at [email protected] and one of our Charter Specialists will get back to you shortly.

Who said all Yachts look the same?

The JOLLY ROGER, designed for Benetti byPalomba Serafini, is an innovative concept for a 65m motor yacht. The aim of the concept, presented at the Monaco Yacht Show 2012, was to design a yacht to resemble a super car, built with sleek and powerful lines.

“We started from the idea of ‘high-powered car of the sea'. Aristocratic and futuristic. An automotive DNA that is in the structures, which release the decks from visual obstruction by giving back the relation with nature and the sea. As a result, large windows and a long deck that looks like a terrace overlooking the water have been created,” as stated by PS+A Palomba Serafini.

Superyacht A has caused a stir since her launch in 2008. Designed by Starck, A is an unconventional superyacht, 119m long and truly unique exterior aesthetics. Not only is she so different in style to all other yachts, she is also rather high on the list of the longest superyachts – which definitely adds to her appeal!

A's interior is a modern and masterfully designed environment, and inside she has not one but three swimming pools – one room has a glass ceiling which looks up to one of these swimming pools. She accommodates up to 14 guests, but also has enough space for 37 crew members as well!

Make a Splash at The Baths when you Charter a Luxury Yacht in Virgin Gorda!

Virgin Gorda is the third largest of the British Virgin Islands, and a popular destination for anybody who is looking to charter in the Caribbean. Said to have been named the 'Fat Virgin' by Christopher Columbus, the island's profile on the horizon looks like a fat woman lying on her side. If you're looking to charter a yacht to explore Virgin Gorda, The Baths are a necessary stop-off point.

The Baths are situated about 2 km south off the main town Spanish Town at the southern tip of the island between Spring Bay and Devil's Bay. The beach here shows evidence of how the BVI were formed through volcanic activity. White sand beaches are scattered with huge granite boulders, which create spectacular grottos with sea pools reflecting the light that shines down on them. The boulders form an inviting maze, which you can clamber through as you explore. The Baths provide an excellent chance to marvel at the wonders the world can create, so taking your yacht around to view them will leave you stunned. Along with such beauty on land, snorkelling in the warm waters will also amaze you. Around The Baths you will find a great range of fish and rays; if you're lucky you may even spot a herd of seahorses in the clear blue sea.

If you are looking to explore Virgin Gorda and The Baths, GYPSY PRINCESS is an excellent choice to charter. A stunning Lagoon 450, she was one of the favourites at the BVI Yacht Show, where she won Best Catamaran Under 55ft. GYPSY PRINCESS has a very experienced and friendly crew, who will welcome you on board for an unforgettable sailing vacation. New this year, she has 3 spacious cabins and will comfortably accommodate 6 guests, whether you choose to spend time inside or on the padded sun deck which is perfect for catching some rays.
