Water Toys For Your Luxury Yacht Charter Part II

Following on from the incredible water toys described in Part I, we plan to follow suit with two more of the coolest water toys for your yacht! Water toys are often a defining part of a charter, if two yachts are identical, the only two things that will differ (other than the interior) are crew and water toys, which we believe are both very important.

Flyboard

Have you ever really wanted to pretend you were a dolphin? No? Well you might just want to after seeing the Flyboard. We are in absolute awe and we’re looking forward to upcoming seasons where lots of charter yachts have these water toys – because we know they’d be an absolute hit! Available from as little as £4,100 for personal purchasers, we know this is a great buy – maybe even an extravagant Christmas present if it suits!

Seabreacher

New to the water toys market is the Seabreacher, a capsule jetski type contraption, which comes in various different styles, a Killer Whale, a Shark and a Dolphin to name a few.

An option of a yacht that has lots of water toys is always a great choice, which is why we recommend this fantastic Sunseeker 82, available for charter in Cannes, Antibes, Juan les Pins and Golfe Juan, at a rate of €32400 per week plus expenses. For an 82 foot yacht, she has plenty of water toys for your charter, a tender with donuts and water skis, great fun for all the family!

If you’re looking for more water toys to be available during your charter on a slightly larger yacht, please do email all your enquiries to [email protected] and one of our Charter Specialists will get back to you very shortly! Alternatively, head over to www.boatbookings.com, the leading online yacht charter broker.

Water Toys for your Luxury Yacht Charter Part I

Water Toys are fast becoming an essential item on your luxury yacht charter. Starting with simple snorkel gear to speeding jetskis, the water toys available to you are becoming more and more exciting.

The Freestyle Cruiser is an amazing slide, custom made to fit the yacht that it is intended for. The slide is an exhilarating drop down from the top of your yacht – the quickest and easiest way to get from your yacht and in to the water. A Freestyle Cruiser is like having your own on board water park, with plenty of open sea to enjoy it with, and no strangers to get in your way! A yacht slide is fun for everybody, regardless of the age.
Made with the finest materials and craftsmanship; made with the highest grade vinyl for durability the Freestyle Cruiser is welded with state-of-the-art technology. With all the hard work that has gone in to creating this slide, it is without a doubt a brilliant investment for any yacht. A slide of this size and drop will surely guarantee fun. If you are interested in a yacht with a water slide, why not charter AMARULA SUN? This Westport has a great range of water toys, including a slide, perfect for splashing around in the Mediterranean Sea!

The Jet Surf is a combination of a surfboard and technology. A lightweight carbon board that can travel at 55 kilometres per hour, you don’t need waves for this style of surfing. It took 7 years of development, but was definitely worth it for the end result. Similar to a skateboard, you can do jumps and tricks for up to 4 hours before the battery needs recharging. The Jet Surf is a brilliant invention for whizzing across the water, and has proved to be such a hit that there is now such a thing as the Jet Surf World Series – pushing the Jet Surfs to their limit. With a Jet Surf around, who needs tenders and water skis? They will definitely make a fantastic addition to the water toys on any luxury yacht!

DENIKI – Luxury Super Yacht of the Week

The vast portfolio of Luxury Super Yachts that are available for charter makes the choice of picking a weekly favourite extremely difficult. However, DENIKI is quite stunning in every regard so that is why she is this weeks choice! Currently on show at the 2012 Antigua Yacht Show, DENIKI is a 52.3m Amels Super Yacht, accommodating up to 10 guests in 5 luxurious cabins. She combines both sleek lines and contemporary styling with a bold use of colour, making her extremely striking.

Each of the cabins are decorated with a different colour scheme, and the master suite is decorated with an African theme, which is such a unique feature of the yacht and adds to DENIKI's character. She also has on board a steam room, gym and sauna, decorated beautifully with mosaics. The contemporary art décor is bright and colourful, and shows off the attention to detail in DENIKI's design.

An all-important factor of a charter is of course the food, and DENIKI's chefs Ben and Gareth produce super food throughout the day! When our Managing Director and Charter Director spent a day out on DENIKI, they dined on Kobe beef carpaccio with a truffle dressing and grilled mahi-mahi with sweet peppers. She has 11 crew who will attend to your every need to ensure that you have the best experience possible. Some of her best features are her water toys, including Tenders, Jet Skis, Water Skis, Wakeboards and towable toys – which are bound to keep both the adults and children entertained for hours. She also features a gym with all of the latest cardiovascular equipment and weights.

The reason why she is this weeks favourite is due to her incredible outdoor space. She offers multiple sunbathing areas with large cushions to ensure maximum comfort. There are also beautiful areas to sip cocktails, such as their espresso martinis, whilst watching the sunset and outdoor al fresco dining areas, perfect for sampling the gastronomic treats from the chef.

She is available for charter in the Mediterranean in the summer, and the Caribbean during the winter season. You can also send your charter enquiries to [email protected], and our brokers will be delighted to provide you with more information.

At www.boatbookings.com, we welcome everyone from sailing professionals to complete novices and will help you at every step of the way to make your dreams a reality. We have a team of highly skilled professionals who are extremely knowledgeable in their destinations and will be able to help you with any questions you may have.

Charter a Luxury Yacht with Amazing Cupcakes!

With our Managing Director, Capucine de Vallée and Charter Director, Mimi Andain at the 2012 Antigua yacht show, inspecting the finest boats in the market, they told us about LADY ALLIAURA, a Privilege 75 Catamaran which they ranked as one of their top 3 favourite catamarans from Day 1 of the show. They were very complimentary about the food that they were served on board, made by LADY ALLIAURA’s Italian chef; this included home-made bread and cupcakes, and the latter made us start thinking creatively…Boating Baking!

Cupcakes are fast becoming a great power in the culinary world; it makes sense that the luxury yachts are going to start serving them on board. If you’re looking to charter a yacht as part of a celebration, whether a birthday, anniversary or wedding, being able to serve mini celebration cakes on board is fantastic! So, to get the process started,
we have had a look around for nautical and yacht themed baking treats.

So, if you’re looking to charter a luxury yacht with us and want something to get you excited, here is a simple recipe to make cupcakes:

100g caster sugar
100g unsalted butter
100g self raising flour
2 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C, line a cupcake tray with cases
Cream the caster sugar and butter, until light and fluffy.
Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl, then add gradually to sugar and butter, making sure they are mixed in well
Fold in the flour
Divide between the cupcake cases.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until they are springy to the touch

For the buttercream icing:

250g icing sugar
80g unsalted butter at room temperature
25ml milk
A few drops of vanilla essence

Mix together the icing sugar and butter (carefully!)
Gradually mix in the milk and vanilla essence, here you can add food colouring if you want (preferably blue to match the nautical theme!)
Ice your cakes!

Luxury Yacht Charter in Belize!

Belize combines a mixture of Central America and Caribbean influence, with the lush rainforests in the west to the crystal clear waters in the east. Many regard the Great Barrier Reef and the Red Sea as the world’s ultimate diving and snorkeling destinations, but you cannot forget about Belize, which possesses the second longest barrier reef in the world. This is home to over 100 types of coral and around 500 species of fish, as well as turtles and underwater caves, making this a spectacular dive spot. Belize is also the perfect location for those who enjoy kayaking, windsurfers and for sailors, who are able to pass from one paradise island to another. If you prefer to take things a little slower on vacation, there are many white sandy beaches for you to relax and sunbathe on. Foodies will be amazed at the quality of the local seafood and fresh fish, which is best cooked simply on a BBQ whilst watching the sunset.

Further inland, you will be amazed by the natural lagoons, rivers and national parks, which are home to over 500 species of birds. You will have to have a keen eye or a great pair of binoculars to see these. Belize is also home to spider and howler monkeys, crocodiles and iguanas. The national bird of Belize, the keel-billed toucan may also make an appearance. If you find that you still have time left on your Belize holiday, it would be a shame to miss out on the mysterious Mayan archaeological sites and artifacts. You will find stone temples with 360 degree panoramic views of the surrounding jungles, as well as tombs, hieroglyphics and caves which were used for Mayan rituals and sacrifices.

If all this has taken your fancy, we cannot recommend chartering a luxury crewed catamaran in Belize highly enough. There is no better way of exploring this paradise destination than by having your own private yacht to entertain your friends and family. Graced with a beautiful climate, people and so many attractions, what could be better than chartering in Belize? Our luxury yacht charter of choice would be LOLALITA, a stunning 65 ft Privilege, accommodating 8 guests in 4 cabins. She is lavishly appointed and has a young, dynamic and can-do crew who will attend to your every need to make your trip as memorable as can be.

If you would like to receive more information with regards luxury charter yachts in Belize, please enquire through our website, www.boatbookings.com, where one of our Charter Specialists will be happy to help you plan the experience of a lifetime. You can also send your charter enquiries to [email protected], and one of the team will get back to you shortly with some proposals.
