The Best of Both Worlds – Part 1

If you don’t like compromise and you’re looking for a land holiday, mixed with a few days enjoying the water we have the perfect selection here for you. Inspired by our stunning favourite on the idyllic Île de Maurice, DodoLodge is a stunning seafront villa offering unparalleled landscapes on the verge of crystal clear waters of Mauritius. With the villa comes the option to enjoy days out as and when you please on the “DodoBoat,” with or without a skipper! The DodoBoat is available for excursions to neighbouring islands or just activities on the water such as fishing or water skiing.

The DodoLodge gives you an idea of how great a holiday can be, without compromising on your ability to explore or just to get out on the water! We love this idea, and our team in the south of France have selected some of their favourite boats for the upcoming season to get the best of both worlds whether you’re taking a vacation in a hotel or a villa on the Riviera.

MINX is a stunning Azimut 68S offering the “open revolution.” She offers the open air feel of a flybridge yacht but with the sporty feel of her open styling creating the perfect flow of bringing the outside in. Her berth in Cap d’Ail means she’s perfect for day charters anywhere from Monaco to Nice!

LA BELLINI is an eye-catching new Sunseeker Predator 64 based in Golfe Juan. She’s perfect for day charters beginning anywhere from Antibes to Cannes. Her gorgeous classic Sunseeker styling means she’s great to heading down to St Tropez or Pampelonne Beach where she’ll look right at home among the luxury yachts at anchor around the famous beach clubs such as Club 55 or Nikki Beach.

If you’re looking for the best of both worlds in the south of France or anywhere in the world this summer, contact the Boatbookings team today to get started planning the vacation of your dreams!

Richard Branson is leading the war on Climate Change in the Caribbean – find out more here

Recently several Caribbean nations committed to reducing their carbon footprint by agreeing to replace diesel generators, which are currently used to produce the majority of the electricity on the islands, with renewable sources such as wind and solar power. The new agreements were reached at meetings arranged by the Carbon War Room, a non-profit organisation started by British entrepreneur Richard Branson best known as the founder of the Virgin Group.

Leading by example Mr Branson has announced a deal with NRG Energy to install solar and wind power on Necker Island, which he owns privately. It is estimated that when complete these renewable sources will generate up to 80% of his island’s power requirements. Mr Branson also alluded to the need for ‘creative entrepreneurship’ in order to win the war on climate change by making clean energy alternatives the same price, or less expensive than the fossil fuel alternatives.

The BVI are leading the way and have already begun making small changes to reduce their consumption of fossil fuels. They are looking at waste to energy plants and have begun replacing bulbs in street lights with LEDS.

The BVI and the Caribbean as a whole remain one of the most beautiful natural paradises in the world with residents such as Mr Branson keen to keep it as such. A sailing yacht charter in the Caribbean is not only a fantastic way to spend a vacation with friends and family, but it is also a very environmentally friendly vacation. With reliable winds the BVI is a sailing destination for true sailors who love being under sail with the wind in their hair!
