Charter a Luxury Yacht to Keller Plage, Cap d’Antibes

Some way between Juan-les-Pins and Antibes on the French Riviera is a secluded bay – Cap d’Antibes. In the Cap, Keller Plage is a fantastic restaurant and beach, perfect for lunch on your day charter. We highly recommend the fish at the restaurant, and the Japanese Tuna entrée is absolutely exquisite.

If you’re looking for an alternative to sailing to St Tropez, but are looking for something as relaxing and memorable, why not charter out of Cannes, sail to the Iles des Lerins, where you can anchor in the pearly blue waters for some swimming. After working up an appetite, head to Keller Plage for a sumptuous meal and a relaxing time either on the sandy beaches, or on board your luxury yacht, with a drink in hand.

For your day out, we cannot recommend AQUA BLUE OF IRELAND highly enough. She is a stunning Sunseeker Predator 74, available for charter out of Cannes. She has sunbeds at the front of the yacht to accommodate at least 3 sunbathing, and can accommodate 10 whilst sailing for a day charter. If you’re looking to spend more than a day on board, she has 3 great cabins, which provide space for up to 6 guests. Please see below for a great video of AQUA BLUE OF IRELAND!

Luxury Charter Yachts at the Deuxième Salon de la Plaisance du Golfe de St Tropez aux Marines de Cogolin 2012

On Friday 2nd November, we, the Boatbloggings team were present at the Salon de la Plaisance du Golfe de St Tropez, at the Marines de Cogolin. As Boatbloggings.com is the news site for Boatbookings.com, meeting and networking with many suppliers was very important.

Of the yachts on show, many were for sale, but we had two highlights of the day, which we would love to share with you.

Med 48

The Med 48 is a new build yacht available for charter for the 2013 Summer season, from St Tropez. She is a beautiful new design which reminded us of a Van Dutch, with a sleek and modern exterior. Her interior was spacious, with two double cabins both en suite and a small galley area too. One of our favourite parts of her was her was her sunbed area, which can be configured in many different ways, from two benches facing each other with a table in the middle, two benches facing the same way, to collapsing the seats down to reveal a full sunbed, with enough room for several to comfortably enjoy the sun.

La Gazelle des Sables

This beautifully crafted small sailboat was a great part of our day. Please see the video below for a fantastic snippet of her in action in the port of Cogolin.

Van Dutch 40, ROYAL I oozes elegance, performance and comfort on the French Riviera

 

The iconic Van Dutch 40 motor yacht is the product of the world famous Dutch design house, Vanguard. Van Dutch’s are striking avant garde creations, incorporating modern design and advanced technology. Vanguard’s aims were quite simple: to “create a lightweight yacht with longevity and economical practicality.” The V-Shaped engine configuration creates a sharpened aft to maximise balance and the Van Dutch’s centre of gravity, optimizing speed whilst reducing fuel consumption. We must pay tribute to Frank Mulder for the design of the Van Dutch, whose underwater design has made spray and slamming a thing of the past.

Reaching speeds of up to 40 knots, the Van Dutch 40 provides excellent performance and cornering. The Yanmar engine reduces engine noise and vibrations, which creates a smooth and silent ride.Screen-Shot-2012-08-24-at-15.26.08 She also incorporates an autopilot and navigation system, making her a very simple luxury yacht to skipper.

Below deck, the Van Dutch is once again unique. There is a hydraulic table for 8 which can transform into a bed. Guests will find the latest televisions, sound systems and kitchen equipment. There is also a  fully functional W/C with a hot and cold water supply. The deck is covered in a teak composite, which makes maintenance very simple. The Van Dutch 40’s cockpit is a modular solarium that extends into a great lounging area.

There are two other models in the Van Dutch portfolio: the 30ft and the 55ft. They both incorporate the exquisite design features of the 40, as well as performance and comfort. We can offer the Van Dutch 40 from a range of prestigious ports on the Riviera, including Monaco, Antibes, Golfe Juan, Cannes and St Tropez. One of our favourite Van Dutch motor yachts is ROYAL I, berthed in Monaco. She is a very popular luxury day charter motor yacht, which charters for €2,250 / Day. If you would like to charter her, please enquire online or send an email to: [email protected] where one of our brokers will assist you.

The festival will play host to some of the biggest acts in the Jazz world, including Sir Tom Jones, Kool & The Gang and Norah Jones. Juan-les-Pins is one of the most popular destinations on the Riviera, with close proximity to Port Vauban, Antibes, as well as having a great selection of boutiques, restaurants and beach clubs.

The festival has a great backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea and there would be no better way to arrive than in style on a luxury yacht. A full day luxury yacht charter from Antibes down the Riviera towards St Tropez and finishing at the festival would be a trip of a lifetime.

Yacht rental on the Sunseeker Manhattan 74

We would highly recommend the Sunseeker Manhattan 74 for a luxury day charter. She offers great outdoor space, perfect for enjoying the views of the Riviera and its climate. Renting this boat and cruising down to St Tropez Club 55, Brigitte Bardot’s favourite beach club, would be a great way to explore the natural beauty that the South of France has to offer.

However, if you were looking for a more luxurious, modern yacht then the Riva Domino 86 would be your ideal choice. She offers the very best in luxury yacht design and speed, yet glides smoothly along the French Riviera and would not look out of place in the most prestigious ports around the world. Based in Antibes, we would highly recommend a full day charter followed by dinner at the fantastic Hotel Du Cap Eden Roc.
