A Fortunate Stroke of SERENDIPITY on the Charter Market!

Here at Boatbookings.com we love Sunseekers, and the 37 metre model is without a doubt one of our favourites. Offering three enormous decks of space whilst maintaining sporty Sunseeker pedigree, these flagship models have been iconic of the Sunseeker brand for the past few years and rightly so as they have been immensely popular among owners and charter guests alike. Unfortunately as of late some of our favourites have disappeared from the charter market, DEVOCEAN causing great upset with her disappearance this spring. Just like all the other clouds, there is a silver lining here – SERENDIPITY is a stunning 2009 version of the 37m Sunseeker now available for charter.

She offers unrivalled cabin volume for her size, accommodating 12 comfortably in 2 master suites, 2 further doubles and 2 twins. With this SERENDIPITY offers excellent flexibility for two families to get together and charter this beautiful yacht. Outside she has as expected many dining options, as well as a huge sundeck bar, just a stone’s throw from the large jacuzzi and sunbathing area.

The interior is full of rich colours, matched with huge windows flooding the yacht with a positive feeling and plenty of natural light. Stand-out patterning on the carpet is a highlight for us, making the cabins feel large and spacious with huge energy levels.

SERENDIPITY is available late June in the West Mediterranean, moving East for August and September. The charter fees are at €105,000 – €125,000 per week plus expenses, unrivalled for her accommodation, age and style. Contact us today for more information.

With masses of outdoor space, NEW BEGINNINGS OF LONDON is a great yacht for those looking to enjoy the South of France sun.

The interior is no less impressive. 4 spacious and inviting cabins are complimented by a large salon. With enough space for a dining table as well as a large lounging area, this is the perfect space to enjoy an evening meal of to curl up and watch a film.

Blockbusting Boats! The Best Yachts from Hollywood Films

Yachting has long been considered the pinnacle of decadence, luxury and wealth and Hollywood directors’ perception is no different. Only the most indulgent of characters, be they evil villains, Russian billionaires or eccentric stock brokers are shown on yachts in Hollywood blockbusters. As such, and befitting such characters, some of the world’s most striking and exclusive yachts have featured in cinemas in recent times.

Nobody does cool quite like James Bond. He always drives the coolest cars with the most beautiful women. It is no surprise therefore that he is regularly seen aboard the most stunning of yachts. It is no surprise therefore that Sunseeker has become as much a part of the James Bond series as Aston Martin and the Vodka Martini, shaken not stirred.

With Daniel Craig as the star, outrageous gadgets and obscene vehicles have been replaced with simple and refined luxury. The villain of Casino Royale, Le Chiffre is introduced to us aboard a stunning Predator 108 while in the Quantum of Solace, General Medrano cruises across the Caribbean Sea aboard a Sunseeker Superhawk 43, a classic example of a chic and elegant Sunseeker.

In Skyfall, Daniel Craig and Berenice Marlohe are seen aboard the beautiful sailing yacht REGINA. This classic sailing yacht, however is not restricted to Hollywood and is available for charter in Turkey.

In Guy Ritchie’s RocknRolla, Russian billionaire Uri Omovich claims that, “There are only 2 days when you enjoy a boat. The day you buy it, and the day you sell it.” The Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort may well disagree. Leonardo di Caprio and co are featured partying hard and living the rock ‘n roll lifestyle aboard his beautiful 44.8m super yacht, LADY M (Naomi as she’s called in the film).

White Knight, a classic displacement yacht, is a fine example of timeless luxury. Refitted in 2010, 8 years after Matt Damon was shot on her off the coast of Marseille in The Bourne Identity, she is a stunning yacht with a superb fly deck, complete with jacuzzi.

With the Cannes Film Festival starting next week, and the summer just around the corner, now is the time to charter a yacht and live like a film star. For any enquiries, please contact the Boatbookings team.

REHAB – A Gem in the French Riviera

The French Riviera is a part of the world which simply oozes style and class. Nothing encapsulates this quite in the same way that Sunseeker does. REHAB, a Predator 68 is absolutely no exception.

Experienced as well as welcoming and personable, they will ensure that you don’t miss any of the hot spots along the Côte d’Azur, whether it be lunch at the inimitable and exclusive Club 55 or seeking out the newest and coolest of the undiscovered treasures. Whether you charter Rehab for a long weekend or just for the day, the crew will ensure that your time aboard is truly unforgettable.

The yacht herself is a classic example in unrestricted luxury. Supremely fast, with a top speed of 40 knots, she will get you to the hottest spots in no time. Once you arrive, the outdoor spaces on REHAB are spectacular. The open-plan, teak-lined aft deck is vast. Lined with fine leather sofas, there is ample space for groups of up to 12 people to dine al fresco or sit back with cocktails.

For the more dedicated sun gods and goddesses out there, the top deck is the place for you. Attract envious glances whilst lying back in the hugely comfortable lounge area; the perfect place to enjoy the stunning provençal views.

When the mood for something more adventurous takes you, REHAB is fully stocked. The tender, a superfast Williams 325, is great for waterskiing and wakeboarding. Fun for all the family is taken care of courtesy of 2 donuts and plenty of snorkelling equipment.
