A gathering not to be missed – The Rodriguez Group Rendez-Vous in St Tropez

Saturday 27th July will mark the 19th Edition of the Rodriguez Group Rendez-Vous in the heart of St. Tropez. This event involves a culmination of staff, loyal owners, future clients and big names in the business coming together to celebrate the successes of this yachting giant. The event is celebrated with up to 40 of the group's newest and finest yachts on display, lavish fireworks and plenty of media coverage to guarantee no spectacle goes unnoticed.

Last year saw the Rodriguez Group celebrate their 40th anniversary with the largest Rendez-Vous to date with 800 guests marking the landmark year, and this year will no doubt succeed in impressing with the same level of grandeur and prowess this company possesses.

The Rodriguez Group are responsible for big names such as Mangusta and Pershing, cementing them comfortably towards the top of the finest yachting groups in the world. Since 1972, they have been surprising and innovating the industry with luxury motor yachts in along the Mediterranean. Mangusta in particular with their large super yachts that still manage class leading cruising speeds.

LES is a Mangusta 108, a prime example of magnificent engineering combined with sleek Italian design, is without doubt a jewel in the Rodriguez Group's yachting crown. She has masses of space both inside and outside, providing the charter with ample space to relax and enjoy the Mediterranean climate. As well as this, LES maintains a mesmerising cruising speed of 35 knots despite her 33.5 metre length, meaning she combines both speed and luxury to become the dream charter. She even oozes Italian style with her aft sunbathing area that actually doubles up as a large jacuzzi! LES is perfect for large groups to enjoy her array of amenities and toys, or even for the ultimate luxurious corporate charter.

Three Fantastic Options for Luxury Day Charters in Cannes

With the summer fast approaching, and the weather in Cannes constantly improving, we highly recommend looking into chartering a luxury yacht for a day. 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 stunning 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. On the aft deck, and on the front of the yacht, there is some beautiful deck space for all guests to enjoy. 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.

Our third and final option is a new yacht to the charter market. The Sessa C48, a slightly smaller option, offers guests an extremely luxurious day out on board. The Captain is absolutely fantastic, and he will make sure that you have an extremely special day out, whether you're planning a day to Monaco, Saint Tropez, or just a trip to the stunning Iles de Lerins. She accommodates for up to 10 guests for day charters, and is available at a rate of €2,500 plus expenses. We currently have a fantastic offer on her too, giving clients a VIP package on board. Guests will receive a bottle of champagne, fresh fruit, soft drinks and beach towels, all complimentary.

The Fancies of the French Riviera: Yacht Charter Cannes

Celebrities, directors, families and businesses come from all over the world to visit Cannes, and for good reason! It is not just the panache and glitz of the Cannes Film Festival 2013 that attracts the crowds but a whole lot more. The beautiful curving Croisette boardwalk, which spans the entire bay and connects the two ports, offers a gorgeous sandy beach on which to relax and along with the famous hotels, designer shops, and stunning weather combine to make Cannes an irresistible attraction.

The bay itself is gorgeous, typically full of amazing yachts and surrounded by hills and rock formations that reach all the way to the snow capped peaks of the French Alps which you can often see on a clear day. From Cannes, the world, or rather the French Riviera is your oyster. You can easily reach the destination of your choice from the unspoilt Lenin Islands to St Tropez or perhaps Cap Ferrat and Monaco to the North East. A visit to the French Riviera really wouldn’t be complete without a stopover in Cannes for some shopping, lunch on the Croisette, and even a spot of yacht watching.

A great choice if you are looking to head to Cannes and explore the French Riviera, is this Mangusta 130. AFRICAN CAT is a luxury build, perfect for your Cannes yacht charter. The Mangusta is like the Ferrari of the yachting world, fast and stylish, and AFRICAN CAT is no exception. Her unique African themed décor indulges in fine furnishings and fabrics, and her crew of 7 will ensure that you and your 9 guests are well looked after throughout your charter.

Boatbookings.com can also arrange a Day Charter or a cocktail cruise from Cannes to see the bay and French Riviera from the best possible perspective! We have a team of highly skilled professionals who are extremely knowledgeable in their destinations and will be there to pull together all the subtle aspects of your holiday that make your charter so good.
