Super Yacht of the Week: SIREN

At Boatbookings we’re huge fans of Nobiskrug yachts, as you’ll see from our previous post on the beautiful MOGAMBO we love their sporty lines, the stand-out grey hulls and the huge amount of light that floods their interiors. A winner for us this week is SIREN, a favourite of Brokers Allison and Ben at this year’s Antigua Yacht Show. Ben said that SIREN was “streets ahead of the competition,” and we can really see why.SirenCruisingProfile

Super Yacht of the Week: ICON

Returning to the charter market after a 5 metre extension, ICON is the Boatbookings super yacht of the week. With her extra 5 metres ICON now offers a pool on the main deck for cooling off in ultimate style, as well as a voluminous beach club enjoying light from the pool’s sparkling glass floor panels. It’s in the name that this yacht will always be iconic, but she truly shows what a massive difference a little space makes. Having been lucky enough to visit ICON at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2013, one of the most talked about yachts on display, we were wowed by the huge volumes, open spaces but sense of privacy available.  Icon yachts launched ICON in 2010, with the critics wowed at her ability to offer world-class volumes whilst maintaining a sleek exterior. Following her re-fit and extension she now offers the same beautifully clean lines and a new beautifully contemporary interior.

The 2015 Caribbean Beach Club and Restaurant Guide

Do you want to live the highlife and experience some of the most sought after beach clubs in the world? In last week’s Caribbean Beach Club Guide, we looked at the top 10 beaches to explore when cruising the southern parts of the Bahamas. This week’s episode focuses on two of the most exclusive beach clubs and restaurants in the world, which have welcomed royalty, special dignitaries and celebrities alike. While filming ‘And God Created Women’ starring Brigitte Bardot in 1955, the director asked a fishermen if they could cook for the cast. This event sparked the birth of Club 55 in St Tropez and the revolution of the beach club into the phenomenon that we know today.
