Chartering with the Stars in Ibiza

The mid-summer parties in Ibiza are in full swing and it would seem that anyone who is anyone has upped sticks and set up camp in the Balearic Islands. Word has clearly got out that the best way to enjoy this slice of heaven off the coast of Spain is on a yacht. Made in Chelsea’s Millie Mackintosh has been spotted on the aft deck sunbathing topless and Neymar has decided that the best way to recover from a broken back is to kick back on the stunning PETARDO C.

There’s something for all you Justin Bieber fans as well. Considering Orlando Bloom’s popularity rating’s are now sky high having punched the Canadian singer, it would appear there aren’t many of you, but alas, it seems like there are still a couple of people willing to put up with him. He’s been seen off the coast of Formentera, trying out the latest and most exciting water toy, the flyboard while aboard ECSTASEA, the 86m feadship, designed and formerly owned by Russian oligarch, Roman Abramovich.

Bieber is about as good on the flyboard as he is in a boxing match, however the same cannot be said of his guest, Fast and Furious star Michelle Rodriguez who, when not cosied up next to her latest fling, Zac Efron, proves to be a comparative pro on the jet powered water toy.

Rather than sitting at home and seething with jealousy, why not get out there and join them? JAZZ OF MONACO is a fantastic yacht for treating your friends and family. The 30m Benetti has an astonishing amount of outside space across 3 decks.

Dine al fresco on the bridge deck before moving up to the fly deck to soak up some sun and then relax with a cocktail on the aft deck as the sun goes down. A week spent enjoying perfect days like this can be your’s for the excellent price of 53,000€!

For a truly unforgettable week in the sun, charter Eddie Jordan’s pride and joy, the brand new, 2014 Sunseeker, BLUSH. Sunseeker’s 155′ flagship is exquisite from every angle.

Above deck you are spoilt for choice. Each deck, forward and aft, is achingly cool, spacious and comfortable and there are few better ways to spend an afternoon that soaking in a jacuzzi, watching the world go by.

The interior has been styled meticulously, furnished beautifully and finished with no expense spared. In all, BLUSH is amongst the most desirable yachts on the charter market.

For a week that you will never forget aboard JAZZ OF MONACO or BLUSH, contact the Boatbookings team today.

HIGH ENERGY is the latest 28m Sunseeker to hit the charter market. Based in the South of France, Sunseeker describe her as “Daring and dramatic.” She cruises at 20 knots, is styled exquisitely, and finished impeccably, making her a superb balance of performance and comfort.

The contemporary yet elegant saloon features a magnificent blend of dark woods and light furnishings. Full length windows on either side offer uninterrupted, panoramic views as well as allowing natural light to pour in, creating a light and airy feel.

The 4 staterooms are superb, especially for a yacht of her size. All are indulgently spacious, inviting and traditionally styled. What else would you expect from the best of British craftsmanship? To top things off, zero speed stabilisers will ensure that you are as comfortable as possible

Above deck, HIGH ENERGY is just as impressive. Dine al fresco on the aft deck, soak up some rays on the forward deck, either under power or at anchor, or cool off in the jacuzzi on the flybridge, the choice is your’s.

Three Reasons to choose Ibiza for your next Yacht Charter!

Ben and Charles from the Boatbookings.com team have just returned from Ibiza after an unforgettable trip checking out the hottest boats and hottest places to be for this summer. They were bowled over not only by how much it lives up its reputation, but also by the unique offering Ibiza has in comparison with other charter destinations around the world. They’ve put together their top 3 reasons to head to the world capital of hedonism!

1. Incredible nightlife. The reason Ibiza has been and still is the top destination for party-goers worldwide. Famed nightclubs include Space, Amnesia, Privilege, Pacha, Sankeys and Es Paradis. Each club has a world-famous mega DJ as a resident on a nightly basis giving you massive goody bag of global superstars to choose from every evening! Whether you’re in the beautiful San Antonio bay or striking Ibiza town there’s a mix of charming old Spanish bars, chilled beach clubs and booming nightlife on every corner.

2. It will surprise you! Whilst Ibiza is famous for its booming towns and attracting the young, rich and famous to let their hair down, a vast area of the island is in fact protected National Parkland. This means in between enjoying the most hedonistic holiday of your lifetime you can really enjoy that ‘getting away from it all’ feeling. Ibiza boats many beautiful, secluded and almost deserted bays in which you can anchor and relax on an empty beach or if you’re lucky find a rare beach club and enjoy lunch with your feet in the water.

As well as this, just a short cruise along the coast you’ll find Formentera, also known as the “Pine Islands.” Beautiful white sandy beaches with turquoise, shallow and crystal clear waters await you in this quiet and tranquil paradise. Isolated anchorages provide the perfect place to enjoy the stunning backdrop of the golden sandy islands.

3. The coolest boats! With the stylish lifestyle comes the most stylish yachts. The VIP section of Marina Ibiza is a feast for the eyes, with the high specifications everywhere you look. Two of our favourites are SHALIMAR and ALVIUM! Perfect for day ,weekend or week-long charters they’re in prime positions near to the famous Lio’s restaurant and club and just a stone’s throw from Pacha. They’re gorgeously styled, super-quick and fit perfectly with the Ibiza lifestyle.

We loved Ibiza, and we think you will too! Contact us for more information on chartering in this incredible part of the Mediterranean.
