Celeb Gossip 2014! Start off the New Year with the style of a Celebrity aboard a luxury charter yacht!

Advertising mogul Charles Saatchi and his new partner, fashion guru Trinny Woodall were spied seeing in the New Year aboard a luxury charter yacht worth $25 million in the Caribbean! This celebrity couple, recently embroiled in a scandal with legendary chef Nigella Lawson, were caught sunning it up in the beautiful waters of exotic island Mustique in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

Saatchi and Woodall turned down the invitation to Mick Jagger’s elusive New Year’s bash, attended by big names like Kate Moss and Bryan May, for the unrivalled decadence of a luxury yacht charter. Rumour has it that the glamorous couple opted to celebrate on board a 160ft super yacht not unlike the spectacular 188ft Abeking & Rasmussen DIAMOND A below, available for charter in the Caribbean now!

The Brand New Must-Have Eco-Friendly Yachts

Admiral Shipyards have announced yet another order for a construction of their new eco-friendly aluminium Impero range. Ranging from 40 metres up to a awe-inspiring 55 metres, the futuristic shipyard have orders for 4 super yachts in this range.

ADMIRAL

The latest order from this range is the 40 metre model, with eco-credentials to impress anyone green-inclined. She has a revolutionary Siemens hybrid engine, this allows the yacht to cruise completely silently at 10 knots. As well as this she will consume just 60 litres of fuel per hour, giving her enough range to cross the Atlantic Ocean twice! With combined engine power, she achieves the very respectable speed of 20 knots, doing so as efficiently and silently as possible.

MOCEAN

Completion of Admiral’s range is expected towards the end of 2015, but if you can’t wait that long for your eco-yacht charter we have just the boat for you! M OCEAN is part of the new iconic Arcadia range, with a similar hybrid system allowing it to cruise silently at 8 knots, and solar panels on the roof to provide electricity when at anchor. Based in Golfe Juan on the French Riviera for the winter her charter rate is €98,000 per week, accommodating up to 12 guests comfortably.

Boatbookings Charter Broker Lambros at the BVI Yacht Show

Lambros, one of our specialist Caribbean charter brokers, attended the 32nd Annual BVI Charter Yacht Show from the 7th to the 10th of November this year! He was very impressed with the turnout at this year’s show as well as the quality of yachts present. Read on to see his comments and favorite yachts!

Lambros

 

“As last year, the annual BVI Charter Yacht Show, organized by the BVI Charter Yacht Society, took place in Nanny Cay Marina, Tortola, BVI. The 2013 show has been the biggest show so far with a record number of 77 participating boats. In this year’s show, the foremost display was clearly of crewed catamarans which, in an area where crewed cats reign supreme, is definitely on the up… Overall, the level of boats was rather impressive with lots of new entries in the area including many modern boats with professional crews. Also, the existing boats were in pristine condition.“

 

Lambros was particularly keen on the brand new Fountaine Pajot range including ALETHEIA and ALEGRIA!

ALEGRIA

Luxury Crewed Catamaran ALEGRIA!

“Particularly interesting were the new Fountaine Pajot catamarans! These are 3rd generation design models, with an excellent use of space and so many amenities that it would take me forever to mention them all!

Some notable points are:

– They are super eco-friendly boats, incorporating powerful solar panels that render them power-sufficient (when no A/C is used of course!)

– They both feature 5 very spacious interior cabins

– They boast a very clever “tender garage” in the stern, with huge sunbathing areas on top”

ALETHEIAGorgeous Fountaine Pajot Catamaran ALETHEIA!
