Charter a Luxury Yacht in the Maldives

The Maldives are an atoll of 1100 islands 400 miles south of India in the Indian Ocean. 202 of these are inhabited, 87 are exclusive resort islands. These islands form an amazing sailing area, with unlimited secluded anchorages and diving spots. The Maldives are very close to how one might define paradise… clear blue skies, warm turquoise sea and endless white sandy beaches. Underwater you will fine around 3000 coral reefs, and water so clear that you can see fish fifty metres away. If this sounds exciting, why not charter a luxury yacht to the Maldives and explore the waters yourself.

Diving in the Maldives is extremely popular, and it is understandable why! Take the chance to discover over one thousand species of fish and other water-dwelling creatures, from schools of colourful fish to manta rays and sharks which are all lured in to the Maldives by its monsoon tides and abundance of food. Plunging in to these warm waters will surely be an experience of a lifetime; even when you are still on your yacht it’s amazing enough to know that thousands of tropical fish are swimming just beneath you, inviting you to explore their own underwater world. You may even get to try night diving, when the coral comes to life searching for its food, as do the creatures that live within it.

If this has enticed you to charter a luxury yacht in the Maldives, how about THE SULTANS WAY 007, an Azimut 103S. She is a perfect luxury charter yacht, based in Male, and has inclusive use of scuba diving equipment; she also comes with snorkel gear if you fancy exploring the shallower waters and jet skis if you feel the need for some speed. After spending the day exploring the waters, sit back and relax on board, whether dining inside or chilling on deck with a few drinks, THE SULTANS WAY 007 will provide you with an unforgettable holiday.

New Luxury Yacht Charter Destinations: Costa Rica

The Caribbean is one of the most popular winter holiday destinations, thanks to its reliable climate, beautiful beaches and relaxed way of life. The BVI, Grenadines, Antigua and St Maarten (St Martin) are four of the most popular destinations over the Christmas period, thanks to their paradise like appearance. Moreover, the close proximity to the United States, as well as only a 10 hour flight from mainland Europe make these islands very accessible. However, people are becoming more adventurous and want to try new destinations with Costa Rica hot on the radar. Nestled between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, Costa Rica is a diverse country, which is said to be similar to Switzerland for its peaceful democracy and extremely high living standards. Moreover, it is very accessible from both Europe and the States.

Costa Rica offers something for the whole family, ranging from trekking through the beautiful jungles to visiting temples, or you can simply make the most of its great climate. Costa Rica is therefore becoming one of the most talked about holiday destinations and with its climate and tranquil seas, is becoming a very exciting destination for the yachting enthusiast. Although surrounding countries like Columbia and Panama may be in the news for all of the wrong reasons, Costa Rica is often referred to as the “Land of Peace” and we cannot recommend visiting highly enough.

Costa Rica is the perfect yachting destination with crystal clear waters, perfect for diving and snorkeling, as well as having some great beach clubs. Moreover, you will never grow tired of her picturesque coastline from your luxury super yacht. If you would prefer a smaller option for your charter in Central America, there is no better choice than the crewed monohull DORA. She is stopping in Central America on her exciting journey to the South Pacific, giving you potentially many unforgettable experiences on board. There is no better way to cruise around French Polynesia than on a crewed monohull yacht, taking each day as it comes with an extremely knowledgeable crew.

If you would like to receive more information with regards to booking your luxury 2013 charter yacht on the French Riviera, please enquire through our website, www.boatbookings.com, where one of our Charter Specialists will be happy to help you plan the experience of a lifetime.

Water Toys For Your Luxury Yacht Charter Part II

Following on from the incredible water toys described in Part I, we plan to follow suit with two more of the coolest water toys for your yacht! Water toys are often a defining part of a charter, if two yachts are identical, the only two things that will differ (other than the interior) are crew and water toys, which we believe are both very important.

Flyboard

Have you ever really wanted to pretend you were a dolphin? No? Well you might just want to after seeing the Flyboard. We are in absolute awe and we’re looking forward to upcoming seasons where lots of charter yachts have these water toys – because we know they’d be an absolute hit! Available from as little as £4,100 for personal purchasers, we know this is a great buy – maybe even an extravagant Christmas present if it suits!

Seabreacher

New to the water toys market is the Seabreacher, a capsule jetski type contraption, which comes in various different styles, a Killer Whale, a Shark and a Dolphin to name a few.

An option of a yacht that has lots of water toys is always a great choice, which is why we recommend this fantastic Sunseeker 82, available for charter in Cannes, Antibes, Juan les Pins and Golfe Juan, at a rate of €32400 per week plus expenses. For an 82 foot yacht, she has plenty of water toys for your charter, a tender with donuts and water skis, great fun for all the family!

If you’re looking for more water toys to be available during your charter on a slightly larger yacht, please do email all your enquiries to [email protected] and one of our Charter Specialists will get back to you very shortly! Alternatively, head over to www.boatbookings.com, the leading online yacht charter broker.

Water Toys for your Luxury Yacht Charter Part I

Water Toys are fast becoming an essential item on your luxury yacht charter. Starting with simple snorkel gear to speeding jetskis, the water toys available to you are becoming more and more exciting.

The Freestyle Cruiser is an amazing slide, custom made to fit the yacht that it is intended for. The slide is an exhilarating drop down from the top of your yacht – the quickest and easiest way to get from your yacht and in to the water. A Freestyle Cruiser is like having your own on board water park, with plenty of open sea to enjoy it with, and no strangers to get in your way! A yacht slide is fun for everybody, regardless of the age.
Made with the finest materials and craftsmanship; made with the highest grade vinyl for durability the Freestyle Cruiser is welded with state-of-the-art technology. With all the hard work that has gone in to creating this slide, it is without a doubt a brilliant investment for any yacht. A slide of this size and drop will surely guarantee fun. If you are interested in a yacht with a water slide, why not charter AMARULA SUN? This Westport has a great range of water toys, including a slide, perfect for splashing around in the Mediterranean Sea!

The Jet Surf is a combination of a surfboard and technology. A lightweight carbon board that can travel at 55 kilometres per hour, you don’t need waves for this style of surfing. It took 7 years of development, but was definitely worth it for the end result. Similar to a skateboard, you can do jumps and tricks for up to 4 hours before the battery needs recharging. The Jet Surf is a brilliant invention for whizzing across the water, and has proved to be such a hit that there is now such a thing as the Jet Surf World Series – pushing the Jet Surfs to their limit. With a Jet Surf around, who needs tenders and water skis? They will definitely make a fantastic addition to the water toys on any luxury yacht!
