While at the Antigua Charter Show we got the chance to visit the 193′ Luxury Expedition Yacht SEAWOLF which was originally built as an ocean going tugboat. The Expedition style yachts have always intrigued us as brokers and she has to be one of finest available for charter.
The day that you have all been waiting for has finally arrived! FLIBS 2014 was a complete success, combining innovation and technology with some of the most stunning yachts in the world. After extensively critiquing the very best crewed motor yachts available for charter in the world, the Boatbookings Brokerage team bring you some of their highlights from this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. Whether it was helping raise awareness for breast cancer, taking refuge from the rain and meeting the outstanding crew on WATERSHED II, or being blown away by the incredible SWAN, the Boatbookings Team are even more inspired to help you plan your next charter!
We’ve got our eye on the BVI! In just a couple of weeks time, Nanny Cay Marina will host the autumn BVI Charter Yacht Show, and some of our brokers are headed to Tortola to examine the best crewed catamarans currently available for your BVI catamaran charter, which is highly likely to start from Road Town, Tortola.
The freedom to explore in supreme luxury and comfort is what sets yacht charters apart from other types of holiday. Whether you are on a 30 foot sailing yacht or a 100m super yacht, you are free to cruise around and visit as many places as you wish. A great place to take advantage of this freedom is in the BVI. You will have to return to this beautiful corner of the Caribbean more than once to experience all that is on offer but that is not to say that a week is not enough time to explore and enjoy this slice of heaven.
Who hasn’t dreamed of having their own desert island. On Sandy Spit, just off Jos Van Dyke, indulge your dream, if only for a few hours. A beautiful place to stop for lunch and with terrific snorkelling in the coral reef, this tiny island is perfect for a day trip.
Once you’ve escaped the outside world for long enough, head over to Willy T’s to cool off with a cocktail. This old schooner off the coast of Norman Island serves simple food for lunch and dinner before the party starts in the evenings.
LA MANGUITA is a superb yacht to enjoy the best of the BVI on. She is spacious and comfortable on board and, with a top speed of 24 knots, you’ll get wherever you want to be in a hurry.
Below deck, the contemporary finish with deep leather sofas and hard wood floors is wonderfully elegant and cool. The cabins are spacious, well-lit and indulgently comfortable.
Above deck, dine al fresco on the beautiful aft deck and relax in the sun on the flybridge. LA MANGUITA has everything that you need to enjoy an unforgettable charter in the Caribbean.

Lambros, one of our specialist Caribbean charter brokers, attended the 32nd Annual BVI Charter Yacht Show from the 7th to the 10th of November this year! He was very impressed with the turnout at this year’s show as well as the quality of yachts present. Read on to see his comments and favorite yachts!
“As last year, the annual BVI Charter Yacht Show, organized by the BVI Charter Yacht Society, took place in Nanny Cay Marina, Tortola, BVI. The 2013 show has been the biggest show so far with a record number of 77 participating boats. In this year’s show, the foremost display was clearly of crewed catamarans which, in an area where crewed cats reign supreme, is definitely on the up… Overall, the level of boats was rather impressive with lots of new entries in the area including many modern boats with professional crews. Also, the existing boats were in pristine condition.“
Lambros was particularly keen on the brand new Fountaine Pajot range including ALETHEIA and ALEGRIA!
Luxury Crewed Catamaran ALEGRIA!
“Particularly interesting were the new Fountaine Pajot catamarans! These are 3rd generation design models, with an excellent use of space and so many amenities that it would take me forever to mention them all!
Some notable points are:
– They are super eco-friendly boats, incorporating powerful solar panels that render them power-sufficient (when no A/C is used of course!)
– They both feature 5 very spacious interior cabins
– They boast a very clever “tender garage” in the stern, with huge sunbathing areas on top”
Gorgeous Fountaine Pajot Catamaran ALETHEIA!
