Banish those January blues with a sailing trip to Martinique this winter!
Here are five great reasons to visit:
Outdoor Activities:
Obviously we’d spend all our time on a yacht if we could, but Martinique offers some great activities to try while on the island. Go hiking along miles of nature trails, go wreck diving to explore 19th century shipwrecks or try out kitesurfing! To experience the sheer beauty of the island, you can take a sky dive with Air Colibri. Continue reading
As you may have gathered we love Palmer Johnson yachts here at Boatbookings.com, and the yacht that stood out for us at the Monaco Yacht Show last year was the 41.5m luxury motor yacht GRIFFIN. An all-new layout combined with extra length and beam means guest accommodation for 10 in 5 cabins along with an added jacuzzi on the flybridge. GRIFFIN boasts a sporty and muscular presence with angles and curves in all the right places, add to this the extensive outside living space and you have the perfect recipe for speed, power and comfort. GRIFFIN is a yacht for those who don’t like to compromise on thrills, but still search for rest and relaxation on the way.
One of the most nostalgic yachts we have to offer is the stunning Feadship SULTANA. Launched in 1969, she underwent an extensive refit in 2012, giving her a more contemporary interior and exterior with a state-of-the-art high-power sound system, videos, and music controlled by smartphones or tablets. She has state-of-the-art gadgets on board that wouldn’t look out of place in a Bond movie, including tv screens hidden behind stylish mirrors, four luxury double cabins, wireless Internet where you can also look into the depth of the ocean via underwater cameras in bow and stern, or follow its navigation details.
VENUS, the 256′ superyacht that was created for the the Apple founder, Steve Jobs, was spotted in the BVI’s this past weekend floating in the turquoise waters off Norman Island. Unfortunately Steve Jobs passed away a year before VENUS was finished but his widow, Laurene Powell Jobs maintains ownership of the beautiful superyacht. This magnificent yacht was designed by Philippe Starck’s design company Ubik and built by Feadship in the Netherlands at the cost of more than €100 million. VENUS has also been spotted near St. Marteen, Montenegro, Palma, Gibraltar and Horta Azores. Continue reading
The fireworks over Patong Beach show that Phuket high season is well under way now. Almost every charter yacht was fully booked in December and over the Christmas and New Year period. January is also heavily booked, but there is plenty of availability moving into February, and until high season ends in late April. Continue reading
