Glorious Gulets in Greece & Croatia

Extravagant Events on the Fabulous French Riviera

The Palm Beach International Boat Show 2014

The Best of Bareboat in Greece and the BVI -

Glorious Gulets in Greece and Croatia
Gulets provide sleeping space for large groups and the style and attraction of classic sailing

What better way to discover the secluded bays and crystal clear waters of Greece and Croatia than on board a gulet? These luxurious motor-sailors offer huge sun-decks, excellent fresh cuisine, extensive water sports inventories, freedom and of course the chance to feel the warm winds of the Mediterranean in charm and style. Our East Mediterranean experts Lambros and Nieves have chosen two of their favourites below.

  Our favourites in Greece and Croatia  

ESMA SULTAN
Nysa 38m

Majestic motor-sailor in the blue waters surrounding Greece


Beautifully maintained, an incredible master suite with round king bed and tasteful elegant interior throughout ESMA SULTAN is the perfect mix of inside and outside living. As well as the large master, the other 6 cabins are voluminous and perfect for large groups.

Outside several enhancements such as a deck Jacuzzi, dining space for 12 and expansive sunbathing areas provide all the amenities of her motor yacht equivalent whilst maintaining her classic charm.

 

LUNA
33m Gulet

Classic styling and attention to detail on board LUNA


Nieves describes LUNA as the perfect mix of "attention to detail, attention to clients - the perfect combination of an experienced crew and the beautiful location that is Croatia." LUNA accommodates up to 18 guests in 9 cabins and is the perfect gulet for large families or groups of friends to get together or get away and see some fantastic sights.
Social spaces and a deck jacuzzi are a highlight on this boat, a large sun-deck with loungers and multiple dining spaces mean everyone will be spoiled for choice!

Extravagant Events on the Fabulous French Riviera
Event chartering gives you an image and presence like no other

Events season on the French Riviera has just kicked off, with one of the busiest and best MIPIM festivals in history. Looking ahead, the Cannes Film Festival and Monaco Grand Prix are fast approaching which signal the official opening of the summer season along the stunning south coast of France. Our event charter experts in the South of France have selected their favourites for spring events and next year!

  Our favourites on the French Riviera  

BARON TRENCK
Eurocraft 43m

Huge exterior volumes and beautiful decks on board BARON TRENCK


One of our favourites in the port during the MIPIM in Cannes, BARON TRENCK has incredible deck space for hosting parties, plunging into the Jacuzzi and showing everyone just how to hold a meeting on her visible and open aft deck. Inside she provides elegant meeting space, and the master suite also has an office for the more private or intimate deals to be done. The classic elegance on board combined with her striking exterior just oozes business and this is why BARON TRENCK is one of our favourites for corporate events.

 

SOJA
Seanest 25m

Sleek but spacious 25 metre Seanest available for event charters


The perfect combination of style and space onboard SOJA. Her beautiful exterior with striking taupe hull means she stands out even in the most crowded ports. The pinnacle of this yacht in her expansive flybridge that offers dining, seating and meeting areas for up to 30 guests at dock. This gives you the privacy you need to share ideas, whilst still showing your presence in the hottest spot of Cannes or Monaco. SOJA is available on special offer for the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix at just €5,000 per day plus expenses.

The Palm Beach International Boat Show 2014
$1.2 billion of yachts on display at the Palm Beach International Boat show

Incorporating the newest water toys, fishing boats, the finest tenders and of course luxury motor and sailing yachts, the Palm Beach International Boat Show is a key show for the yachting industry in the United States and worldwide. This year was no exception and our Charter Director Allison Cecilio was there to check out the hottest boats on the charter market today in New England, Florida, the Bahamas and of course the ever-popular Caribbean. Here are two of her favourites.

  Allison Cecilio's favourites  

GRAVITAS
52m Feadship

Classic styling and modern new fittings on board GRAVITAS


The trusted quality of a classic Feadship build, twinned with modern fittings and a full re-fit last year, GRAVITAS provides the ultimate super yacht charter experience.
Allison commended her well-known team at the helm, Captain Roy and Chief Stewardess Stephanie Hodges who are keen to entertain guests in the Bahamas until April and New England for the summer months.

GRAVITAS accommodates up to 12 guests in 7 cabins, including a three-room master suite.

 

Destination Fox HARB'R Too
Trinity 161

A striking grey hull and modern exterior onboard this stunning Trinity 161 yacht


One of the only super yachts heading to Canada for the summer, DESTINATION FOX HARB'R TOO is offering a rare opportunity to see the beautiful Canadian coastline this summer from her base in Nova Scotia. This luxury super yacht features beautifully elegant interiors by Patrick Knowles and the spacey but stylish exterior of a Trinity creation. Her layout is designed with the charterer in mind, with touches such as the master office converting into an extra berth for children. This is the ultimate yacht for family charters on Canada's coasts.

The Best of Bareboat
The freedom of the seas on your bareboat sailing vacation

Our bareboat Charter Director Alice has selected her two favorite sailing yachts available for charter around the world right now. From the beautiful islands of Greece to the relaxed atmosphere of the BVI, these are two rare opportunities to try your hand at sailing one of the largest yachts on the bareboat market.

  Our favorites for Greece and the BVI  

Jeanneau 53 Super Premier
British Virgin Islands

Modern and sleek Jeanneau sailing yacht cruising the BVI


The Jeanneau 53 is a comfortable, high-specification and beautifully ergonomic performance sailing yacht. All these details mean she's "a sailboat of exception" within the 50 plus feet category. The differences between this model and her predecessor are the levels of natural light the addition of deck hatches and portholes give, along with a widened dining area in the saloon offering a much more spacey and comfortable feel.

 

Hanse 575
Athens

Sleek and sporty Hanse sailing yacht in the Mediterranean


One of the largest sailing yachts on the bareboat market, the Hanse 575 is an experienced sailor's dream. Performance and comfort are matched in perfect harmony with her sporty water line and her clean, modern interior. Outside you have the twin helm and a flat deck for optimum visibility, along with extensive outside seating so all the guests can enjoy the action and the sights of the enchanting Greek coastline.
