In this blog, we outline just three of the many fantastic options that you can choose from. As always, if you have any questions about chartering, please do contact us.

Our first option for your day charter is the stunningbig_aqua-blue-irela-main13730 AQUA BLUE, a Sunseeker Predator 74, accommodating for up to 6 guests overnight or 10 on a day charter. Her interior is both bright and airy, with a delightful blend of light wood and cream furnishings.

Her crew are extremely professional, and will ensure that your day charter is nothing less than unforgettable. She is available for charter at a rate of €5,000 per day plus expenses.

Our second choice for your day charter is DELHIA, a Mangusta 92, accommodating for up to 11 guests for day charters along the French Riviera. Charter Brokers Ben and Adam recently saw her and were both amazed by her crew and the food prepared on board. Ben said, about the food, “the preparation on DELHIA was second to none, I would highly recommend trying the chicken in soy and honey sauce!” She has a large open interior, and our favourite space on board was on the aft deck, DELHIA is available at a daily rate of €8,125 plus expenses.
