An Insight into the Monaco Yacht Show 2014

The Monaco Yacht Show 2014 is going to be the biggest show to date, graced with the world’s finest crewed motor and sailing Superyachts. The usual venue of Port Hercules has been transformed in recent months with the construction of the new Yacht Club de Monaco, which has not only enhanced the amenities on offer but also opened up plenty of new berths available for Super and Mega yachts.

The Boatbookings Team will be attending the show on the lookout for the very best yachts for your next charter, whether throughout the Mediterranean, Caribbean or Asia. The 2012 Acico crewed motor yacht NASSIMA, available for charter in the South of France is bound to be popular on Quai Chicane. Graced with contemporary living spaces, spacious decks and a can-do crew, NASSIMA is the quintessential modern day charter yacht.

The Monaco Yacht Show is synonymous with bringing the yachting industry together and there is no better place to bring large groups of people together than on a boat! NASSIMA can respond to your desires and requirements, whether it is a relaxed al-fresco lunch with colleagues or formal dinners on the aft deck. Her elegant, sophisticated and stylish decor will satisfy even the most discerning charter guests, providing the platform for a very memorable time onboard.

September is a busy month in the South of France with the Cannes Yachting Festival, the Monaco Yacht Show and the prestigious Voiles de Cannes and St Tropez. The weather is stunning and the yachts are still in the water, so make the most of the rest of the summer rays!

Celebrities and their Charters – Who’s on What this Summer!

Cannes, Monaco, St Tropez, Porto Cervo and Capri – the hottest yachting destinations in the world. The summer sees the rich and famous descend on the most exclusive towns in the Mediterranean, embarking on the finest of the world’s super yachts and taking dream vacations with family and friends. We’ve spotted the most talked about celebs on the planet on some pretty incredible yachts, and bring you our favourites in the West Mediterranean this season…

Sylvester Stallone onboard TE MANU. Seen in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat partying and enjoying some relaxation with his family onboard the luxury 49 metre motor yacht. The 1998 super yacht has been maintained and re-fitted meticulously to maintain her traditional style. Stallone and family enjoyed her extensive array of water toys including her Yamaha Waverunner and tender with 70hp engine with which they enjoyed some serious water-skiing.

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden onboard LADY BRITT. An iconic boat in terms of both style and reputation, LADY BRITT is a colossal yacht from the Feadship yard. Her elegant interior mirrors huge outdoor spaces and expansive sunbathing areas, Cameron has obviously been keeping healthy onboard with the beautiful panoramic gym leading into a fully equipped spa and large jacuzzi. Cameron and Benji left the boat looking happy and heading off with a healthy summer glow.

A Fortunate Stroke of SERENDIPITY on the Charter Market!

Here at Boatbookings.com we love Sunseekers, and the 37 metre model is without a doubt one of our favourites. Offering three enormous decks of space whilst maintaining sporty Sunseeker pedigree, these flagship models have been iconic of the Sunseeker brand for the past few years and rightly so as they have been immensely popular among owners and charter guests alike. Unfortunately as of late some of our favourites have disappeared from the charter market, DEVOCEAN causing great upset with her disappearance this spring. Just like all the other clouds, there is a silver lining here – SERENDIPITY is a stunning 2009 version of the 37m Sunseeker now available for charter.

She offers unrivalled cabin volume for her size, accommodating 12 comfortably in 2 master suites, 2 further doubles and 2 twins. With this SERENDIPITY offers excellent flexibility for two families to get together and charter this beautiful yacht. Outside she has as expected many dining options, as well as a huge sundeck bar, just a stone’s throw from the large jacuzzi and sunbathing area.

The interior is full of rich colours, matched with huge windows flooding the yacht with a positive feeling and plenty of natural light. Stand-out patterning on the carpet is a highlight for us, making the cabins feel large and spacious with huge energy levels.

SERENDIPITY is available late June in the West Mediterranean, moving East for August and September. The charter fees are at €105,000 – €125,000 per week plus expenses, unrivalled for her accommodation, age and style. Contact us today for more information.
