A Luxury Yacht Charter on the Croatian Riviera to rival anywhere in the world!

The exquisite beauty of the Croatian Riviera can sometimes be hidden in the shadow of its bigger cousins; the French and Italian Riviera. Yet it is one of the stunning yachting destinations in the Mediterranean. Croatia has an amazing 5,835km of coastline, of which 4,057km belongs to islands, cliffs and reefs meaning there is always a new cove, sandy beach or cave to explore.

Why not charter the Sunseeker Portofino 53, PUPA II, a crewed luxury motor yacht that accommodates up to 6 guests in 3 cabins. PUPA II is based out of the port of Split, home to the Palace of Diocletian and just one of many World Heritage Sites that are scattered through Croatia. Click here for a detailed itinerary on a proposed charter in the Croatian Riviera.

With a stylish blend of wooden panels and cream leather, it is beautifully fitted and you will be able to cruise the coast in this sleek and powerful yacht with a huge range of toys at your disposal. It boasts Bose HiFi and Ipod systems, air conditioning through-out, a Williams 325 jet 104hp, a wake board, water skis and snorkeling equipment so you can best appreciate the clear blue waters of the Croatian Riviera.

Warrick said: “We had an amazing time on the Portofino 53. The yacht was immaculate, perfect for our needs in size and specification. We said many times that we think we had the best looking motor yacht on the Adriatic! (except perhaps for the super-yachts!!)”

The show will take place at the Helsinki Exhibition & Convention Centre, with this year’s special focus on sailing, as well as other activities related to yachting and outdoor life.

Boatbookings View from the London Boat Show 2013: “Compared to the previous model, the 68 has improved on every level. The entertaining spaces are second to none, in particular an incredible aft deck, featuring some of the best sunbathing spaces that we’ve seen. Accommodation is provided in 3 cabins, including a master and a double VIP, which are designed in typical Sunseeker style. Sophistication and luxury are two words that go hand in hand with this yacht.”

Try Before You Buy – Charter a Luxury Yacht to see if it's the Right One for You.

Are you considering buying your own luxury yacht? Unsure whether or not you know what is right for you?

Charter the yacht of your dreams before making that decision to buy. With www.boatbookings.com you can charter the exact make and model that you're interested in before taking the leap to purchase. There's so much to consider when you buy a yacht, and you definitely don't want to make a mistake and pick the wrong one. You cannot judge a book by its cover – what you see on paper can be a completely different experience to what it is like on board. You need to experience the real thing, and get out on the water.

On a yacht charter you can experience the level of comfort the yacht provides – is there enough space for you and your friends? Will you get a good night’s sleep below deck? Does she still look as great a few years later? A yacht will always look pristine at a show, but you want to know she’ll stay that way! You can also experiment with the technical details. Push the yacht to her top speed and feel how she performs in different sea conditions. If you’re interested in a sail boat, get a hands-on experience. Find out how she handles in different winds, and how happy you are with sailing and mooring her.

A bit of online research, looking at some pictures and specifications; these may be the first footsteps towards a purchase, but they won’t tell you just how it feels to experience the real thing out at sea. There are so many things to take in to consideration when buying, and chartering will help to decide if it’s the right yacht for you. Whether you want a sexy Sunseeker or astounding Azimut, we have plenty to offer.

Visit Antibes For Your Luxury Yacht Charter!

Antibes lies between Nice and Cannes along the coast of the French Riviera. It is often missed out as somewhere to visit, but we know better – with Port Vauban, the largest yachting harbour in Europe, Antibes is a prime destination for your luxury yacht charter! One of the main sites in Antibes, the Château Grimaldi, once a stronghold of Monaco royalty and home to Pablo Picasso, stands tall as part of the city's history. Antibes Juan-les-Pins has a reputation for some of the best beaches along the French Riviera, so why not head to Antibes to discover more about them?

So, if you want to charter in Antibes, here are some suggestions for you.

REHAB, a Sunseeker Predator 68, is a brilliant yacht for day charter. She is a popular choice with our team, and will make sure your experience of Antibes and the surrounding French Riviera is unforgettable! She can cruise with a maximum of 12, so bring along your family and friends for a fantastic day out. Or if you're looking to venture further afield, REHAB can accommodate 4 guests in 2 well-appointed cabins. Her crew will attend to your every need, and make sure you get the most possible out of your charter.

Another great choice for charter is OUTSIDE EDGE, a Mangusta 72. She is kept in pristine condition with a can-do Captain, who will make some great suggestions for your charter itinerary, but will readily make changes if you fancy something different. She has a great saloon deck, so on OUTSIDE EDGE you can make the most of the sun, whether you're up for some al fresco dining or want to top up your tan.

London Boat Show 2013 Review, Part I

We have just returned from this years London Boat Show, which showcased once again some of the latest yachts from Riva, Sunseeker, Fairline and Princess, as well as yachting gadgets, ribs, clothing and a fleet of the fastest supercars. We were extremely excited about seeing the new Sunseeker Predator 68 motor yacht, which certainly did not disappoint. Compared to the previous model, the 68 has improved on every level. The entertaining spaces are second to none, in particular an incredible aft deck, featuring some of the best sunbathing spaces that we've seen. Accommodation is provided in 3 cabins, including a master and a double VIP, which are designed in typical Sunseeker style. Sophistication and luxury are two words that go hand in hand with this yacht.

The brand new San Remo edition was also on show and was a truly remarkable yacht for its size. The large windows on the main deck and panoramic roof provided light throughout the whole yacht. Once again the decks were perfect for sunbathing with close family, as well as providing al fresco dining and great comfort. This yacht would not look out of place in even the most prestigious ports in the world so we expect great things from this yacht.

It was also great to see some Sunseeker classics on show, which showcased how the company has evolved in the past 30 years. We particularly liked the Mustang 20, which featured seating for 5 with great performance and style. The Mustang 20 could hit speeds of up to 50 knots from its Volvo V8 engine which is quite impressive from a yacht of its time.
