Luxury Yacht Charter in Singapore

Singapore is an island country with a population of around 5 million. Its port is one of the five busiest in the world, given trade is very important in the country’s economy. However, the boats are not just for trading goods – why not hire a yacht in Singapore? It may be the world’s fourth leading financial centre, but you can do more than just business in Singapore.

Staying in Singapore: Raffles is one of the top hotels in Singapore; named after the founder of modern Singapore, Raffles is a timeless symbol of colonial opulence. Complete with spa, gymnasium and outdoor swimming pool the hotel also has its own shopping arcade and museum. Raffles is also where the cocktail, the Singapore Sling, was created in the hotel’s Long Bar. Offering a range of suites to stay in, restored to the grand style of its heyday in 1915, Raffles offers a luxury accommodation to visitors in Singapore.

Shopping in Singapore: The city’s most exciting retail hub, Orchard Road, has many upmarket shopping malls, such as ION Orchard and Paragon. These malls boast high-end fashion brands including the likes  of Gucci and Louis Vuitton. With such a wide range of shops available in the premier shopping district, Orchard Road will surely be an unforgettable shopping experience.

Eating in Singapore: Chatterbox, also on Orchard Road, serves local heritage cuisines which are now famous both locally and worldwide thanks to this restaurant at the Mandarin Orchard. For forty years the award winning Mandarin Chicken Rice has been one of the most sought after Singaporean dishes, yet Chatterbox also serves Western favourites along with many Asian dishes. Given Singapore’s importance in the financial world, it would make a great location for a luxury yacht charter for a corporate event.

Why not charter a luxury catamaran in Singapore, such as the Cumberland 46, which can take up to 23 guests. With three outside areas, there is plenty of space to host an event in style and enjoy views of the city skyline while sailing around the southern islands of Singapore.

Luxury Yacht Charter in Miami and the Florida Keys

Florida offers a superb array of charter yachts to meet all of your needs, from luxury motor yachts and yachts specializing in deep-sea fishing to event yachts for corporate entertainment. In particular, the fantastic beaches of Miami and the coral reefs found off Biscayne Bay and the Florida Keys are extremely popular with charter guests.

Miami:

Known for its miles of sandy beaches, which are perfect for soaking up the sun, Miami is one of the biggest tourist destinations in the world. Miami is also an easy starting point for charters that are headed through the Florida Keys and towards the Bahamas.

South Beach provides arguably the best example of the Miami experience. South Beach (nicknamed SoBe) is renowned for the fantastic beaches, nightclubs, restaurants and boutique hotels that line Ocean Drive. It is the place to be seen and the place to do people spotting. The Art Deco District hosts many popular events including the Sony Ericsson Masters Tennis, the South Beach Wine & Food Festival and Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.

Bill Baggs State Park, which is found on the southern end of Key Biscayne, is definitely worth a visit. The park provides the perfect area for sunbathing and swimming, and is home to the famous Cape Florida lighthouse. Built in 1825, the lighthouse is the oldest standing structure in Miami-Dade County. If you aren’t in the mood for swimming, sunbathing, exploring historical sites, shopping or people-watching, you could always play a round of golf at the Miami Beach Golf Club.

Florida Keys:

The Florida Keys is an island archipelago beginning about 15 miles south of Miami. Formed by exposed portions of an ancient coral reef, the Keys extend from the southern tip of Florida toward the Gulf of Mexico. They are famed for their stunning coral reefs which make them one of the most biodiverse areas in the world.

The area is part of the Florida Reef, the third largest coral barrier reef system in the world after the Great Barrier Reef and Belize Barrier Reef, and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Biscayne National Park, which preserves Biscayne Bay and its offshore barrier reefs, includes Elliott Key and provides some of the best scuba diving areas in the United States. Elliott Key and the nearby Key Largo (two of the northernmost keys) offer crystal clear waters, fantastic for snorkelling and scuba diving.

Boca Chica (one of the southernmost islands) is also a fantastic point for scuba diving. Here you will find the remains of a a Second World War US Army supply ship called the Almirante, which is now home to a vast collection of tropical fish. Other popular tourist attractions in the keys include swimming with dolphins, sport fishing, and a variety of other water sports.

The city of Key West, which is the southernmost city in the continental United States, is home to 32% of the entire population of the Keys. The majority of tourists visit this city for the stunning beaches such as Smathers Beach, which is lined with coconut trees. Key West also boasts an Art & History Museum, the Audubon Tropical Gardens, and the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum, which was designated as a US National Historic Landmark in 1968.

One of our favorite yachts available for charter in Florida is BIONDA, a Numarine 78 with accommodation for 9 guests. BIONDA is perfect for charters with family or friends. She has a good collection of tenders and toys that includes scuba-diving equipment, snorkeling equipment and fishing gear.
