The Monaco Yacht Show 2014 – Set to be the biggest yet!

The Monaco Yacht Show – the world’s greatest homage to the world’s largest, wackiest and most incredible super yachts. 2013 saw another growth in the show with what critics called “the best selection yet” with a revival of the sailing yacht, and several new eco-friendly models such as the Arcadia 35 taking prime positions. We’ve just heard that 2014 is set to be even larger, with 14 new positions available to cater for an increase in demand.

The new locations will make full use of the new Monaco Yacht Club due for completion this year. 118 spaces are now available for up to 120 metre yachts, with an average length per berth of well over 50 metres. The organisers are also allowing for an increase in exhibitors, adding 400 square metres for stands.

GALACTICA STAR – Heesen’s new 65 metre super yacht was best in show for the Boatbookings team!

Sources say the extension shows a “great sign for economic recovery and major development in emerging markets.” We can’t agree more, and we certainly can’t wait to see the new arrivals for 2014! Keep up to date with the latest industry news and boat show updates by following us on Twitter.

Experience the Splendour of the Monaco Yacht Show (part 2)

If you are heading to Monaco at the end of September then pay attention! Following up on our previous blog about the Monaco Yacht Show, here at Boatbookings we have put together a list of boats to look out for.

Walking around Monaco’s Port Hercules, you will be genuinely astounded at the size of these majestic machines. Expect to see yachts featuring jacuzzis, 40 foot tenders and possibly even a helicopter or submarine! These beautiful beasts of the sea exemplify the very best in craftsmanship and design.

GIORGIA

First on our list is  GIORGIA, a 37 metre luxury motor yacht from the esteemed Benetti label.  A name that exudes understated elegance, style and comfort, Benetti have spared nothing in the build of this boat. Accommodating up to 10 guests in 5 luxurious and beautifully appointed en-suite cabins, she is ideal for family vacations around the French Riviera, Italy and Croatia. Her features include a top deck jacuzzi, bar and barbecue and zero speed stabilisers which make her one our favourite charter yachts around. Benetti have a range of stunning yachts at this year`s event – be sure not to miss LATITUDE or OCEAN PARADISE – at 52 metres and 55 metres respectively it would be pretty hard to!

Whispering_Angel

Secondly, keep a look out for is WHISPERING ANGEL – a 5 cabin ISA 120. Having been built in 2008 it may seem surprising she has been included in this year`s show, however her full refit last year has made her the floating paragon of luxurious comfort. With a gorgeous al fresco dining area, splash pool on the flybridge, state of the art entertainment system and huge array of water toys, she is a great family or event boat for charter.

Oceacnco

Finally, powerhouse Oceanco will be showcasing and unveiling several of their 80 metre and upwards range, including brand new Tim Heywood designed DANA and Nuvolari & Lenard designed RIALTO. These gorgeous Goliath’s of the ocean measure in at 105 and 110 metres, and will most likely steal the show.

Come and experience the splendour of the Monaco Yacht Show 2013!

Experience the Splendour of the Monaco Yacht Show 2013 (Part I)

The Monaco Yacht Show is around the corner and whether you are interested in buying, renting or simply seeing some magnificent boats, there is no better place to do all three. Featuring 100 super and mega yachts with an average size of 46 m, the Monaco Yacht Show is the epitome of style, class and luxury.

MYS is the world`s leading showcase for super yachts – every year, the yachting industry’s top manufacturers, designers and brokers show off their latest and greatest in the glamourous principality. Yachts ranging from 30 to 90 metres dominate Port Hercules, which makes for a truly incredible display.

Monaco is famed for its high-end hospitality and leisure activities, and from the 25th to the 28th of September this year, it manifests this with no holds barred.

Last year, 33 000 people flocked from all corners of the planet to view la crème de la crème of the yachting world – and even more are expected this year. It is the show’s 23rd anniversary, and with 80 events organised by exhibitors in the palaces of Monte Carlo or onboard the yachts themselves, it promises to continue its history of high-class sophistication.  There are a plethora of non-boat related attractions to sink your teeth into also. You can watch an opera at the exquisite Salle Garnier, gamble at the world famous Monte Carlo Casino, watch Monaco FC field their record signing Falcao, or simply wander around and immerse yourself in Monte Carlo’s incredible scenery and architecture.

Let the Bidding Begin; Luxury Yacht NIRVANA on Sale for $303 million.

Oceanco's longest build in its new series to date, NIRVANA is now on sale. The 290ft mega-yacht that made her début at last year's Monaco Yacht Show as the largest yacht on display is now on sale for €230,000,000. There are only a few yachts that have been priced at more than this stunning yacht, including one made of gold, so that makes NIRVANA one of the most luxurious yachts on the market.

Nirvana Yacht

Spread over 6 decks, NIRVANA has 6 cabins to sleep 12 guests. On the main deck you will find the 5 guests cabins and the private owner's deck is accessible by the silver engraved elevator and a reptile house separates the bar and dining area in the salon.

Nirvana aft deck

On the main aft deck is the largest pool currently installed on any Oceanco yacht. The oval shaped pool measures 7.5m and has an adjustable depth of up to 1.4m; a variable jet stream means that you can get your exercise and swim laps without moving!

Nirvana Cabin

NIRVANA is fully equipped with gym, spa, plunge pool, 3D cinema and even two garages to store your supercar. NIRVANA also has a private heli-pad, so you can come and go as you please by air. She comes equipped with 10 jet skis, 2 11m tenders and a skiboat: what more do you need on board?!
