Ravioli — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 21:54:39 +0000

For those that are tired of standing under the patio heater during the winter trying to keep warm what better way to explore some of the world’s warmer destinations than by yacht? Everybody feels a little down when winter comes along and the temperature drops. The days start getting longer and you end up spending a lot more time inside or standing under a patio heater when you do venture outdoors.

It is at this time of the year that many people decide to take a break and go on holidays to some slightly warmer destinations around the globe. One of the best destinations and one that caters well for yachts is the Mediterranean. There are many routes you can take whilst cruising in the Mediterranean which encapsulates some picturesque islands and beautiful cities.

Some of the most visited destinations by yacht in the Mediterranean include Monaco, Nice and Cannes in France Barcelona and Valencia in Spain and finally Porto in Portugal. Each of these destinations have beautiful harbours and are definitely worth you spending a few days exploring.

You will find these wonderful cities to be laid back and relaxed during the day with some amazing restaurants and beaches to visit. Once you have topped up your tan you will be treated to some of the best nightlife available in the Mediterranean.

Because there are so many different routes and places to visit whilst cruising in the Mediterranean it is important to highlight where you want to go before hand. This way you will be able to charter a yacht that will be capable to living up to your expectations. It is essential that you hire your yacht from a reputable company and that the broker is well informed and familiar with your destinations in order that they can pick the right crew and yacht for your travels.

Hov Pod SPX – Fun Hovercraft

admin — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 23:04:21 +0000

Hovercraft from the English company Reaction International Limited is very easy and fun to drive. The experience of traveling with 45 mph on this air balloon is truly exceptional and not your everyday thrill, however the cruising speed is 30 mph which is still good.

This secure amphibious vehicle has no problem running (hovering) over plenty of flat terrain types including concrete, water, ice, snow, sand and grass. It is much stronger and floats better than the models from carbon fibers, and it is suitable for more than a small family trip to the local holiday destination. It can be used effectively for hunting and fishing, security patrols, commercial and saving use. It is equipped with an engine, but it can be bought even without it, so you can customize it and finish it according to your needs. Learning curve is not very steep and you can drive it worry free in minutes.

Special polyethylene, also used in construction and manufacturing process of artificial ankle in medicine, is used here combined with some additional composite layer so that the hull can endure pretty hard impacts and is even less vulnerable than before. It can be bought in 2 versions depending on the engine, SPX 65 and SPX 72 for three persons, with engines of 65 and 72 hp, and SPX 120 for more people and professional use. Both versions hover at about 25 cm from the ground, the consumption is not very big and the noise level very acceptable. The seats are comfortable, and there is a special section dedicated for supplies, food, drinks and ice… Leave your yacht in this baby and continue on the shore to the market for supplies without even stopping. City streets will be no problem at all.

Much recommended for anyone with a kid in his heart. It breaks all the previous rules for all-terrain driving standards. Did we mention? On a dry surface it has 4×4 off-road capabilities. The starting price in UK is about £20,000 and we also want one.

Model Description:
Hov Pod SPX 38: 1 – 2 person leisure version with Kohler 38hp 4-Stroke Engine.
Hov Pod SPX 65: Three person leisure/commercial version with Rotax (582) 65hp 2-Stroke Engine.
Hov Pod SPX 75: Three person leisure/commercial version with Weber 75hp 4-Stroke Engine.
Hov Pod SPX 120: Three person commercial version with Weber 120hp 4-stroke Engine.

Politics in Yachting: John Kerry Causes a Row

SarahHarris — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 10:04:06 +0000

Massachusetts Senator John Kerry’s love of taxation is fairly robust, even for a Democrat. He has often expounded upon the virtues of allowing the government to take a larger bite of every private citizen’s paycheck in order to stimulate the economy of our great nation (since individuals cannot be trusted to invest in America or make spending decisions that are in step with government agendas). And while he has diligently upheld taxation in his own state, he has recently come under attack for dodging the very taxes he supports again and again, in particular, one that centers on yacht ownership.

That’s right: Senator John Kerry owns a yacht. “Isabel” is a 76-foot pleasure craft that apparently set Kerry back a whopping $7 million dollars. Somehow it just doesn’t seem fair that public servants can afford such luxury, but it appears that marrying up and financing a campaign with the assets of a big-brand heiress can get just about anyone elected. In any case, people are allowed to live as they please, hopefully within their means, and Kerry clearly has the means to purchase a yacht, so more power to him. And yet, there is a catch.

Massachusetts is one of the many states that have sales and excise taxes attached to boat ownership (6.25%, to be precise). By law, Kerry is required to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $450,000 in sales tax just for purchasing the boat, as well as approximately $70,000 per year in excise tax to own and operate it in the state of Massachusetts. At least he would have to pay that amount if his boat were registered and moored in Massachusetts. In an interesting twist, Kerry has chosen to give his boat permanent residence in nearby Rhode Island, which repealed its Boat Sales and Use Tax in 1993, making it an instant haven for east-coast nautical enthusiasts across the seaboard.

So the senator apparently supports state taxation of luxury items just as long as he can personally evade them. But wait, it gets better. In response to allegations of probable tax-dodging and certain hypocrisy, Senator Kerry’s Chief of Staff has issued a statement that clearly explains the situation. Apparently, the boat is docked in Rhode Island for purposes of maintenance, upkeep, and charter. Oh, if only Massachusetts offered these services, he would happily bring his boat home and pay the tax! And pigs might fly. In addition, Kerry, who has claimed to be a staunch supporter of “buying American” (remember, taxes allow the government to funnel our hard-earned money back into the economy for our benefit), actually purchased his boat in New Zealand. Strike two.

While private citizens are certainly welcome to hang onto their money in any way possible, even by using shady legal loopholes, those that don the mantle of governance should be held to a higher standard, and indeed, the fact that they are answerable to the public necessitates the adoption of certain standards for conduct (one would think). As of late July, the besieged senator had publicly promised to pay all taxes due his state, just as though Massachusetts is the home port for his boat (especially since the luxury craft in question has been frequently spotted in MA waters). And whether it is due to public criticism or inquiries by the Department of Revenue, it’s nice to see that a U.S. Senator is putting his money where his mouth is (and probably choking on it).

A Royal Yacht Gets the Royal Treatment

SarahHarris — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 09:04:54 +0000

If you’ve been interested in boating for awhile, you have probably heard of the Britannia (officially a yacht of the Royal Fleet, unofficially Scotland’s best visitor attraction). And while it is the most famous floater in the fleet, known to house royal dignitaries from time to time, it is not the only boat that has been owned and loved by Britain’s elite aristocracy. A lesser known (and smaller) yacht, the Bloodhound, was once a part of this illustrious cadre of boats, and while it was subsequently sold (again and again), eventually falling into disrepair and the annals of yachting history, the once great ship that won many a race has received a face-lift and a second chance at glory, thanks to one devoted couple.

The life of this yacht began in 1936 when it was built by Camper and Nicholson’s for an American lover-of-all-things-English, Ike Bell, who named the boat Bloodhound in honor of his post as Master of the Wiltshire Hounds. The 63-foot long racing vessel served its owner well, allowing him to enjoy great success racing in both the south of England and Bermuda until 1962, when it was bought by Prince Phillip and added to the Royal Fleet. In addition to winning several races with his 12-man crew (including the famous Cowes Week regatta), the Prince sailed it alongside the Britannia on the family’s yearly cruise to the Western Isles, subsequently using the old girl to teach Prince Charles and Princess Anne to sail. The Bloodhound was not only used in the service of the crown, though. Throughout its tenure in the Royal Fleet, it was also loaned out to yachting clubs with a 3-man crew to teach other youngsters how to sail (thousands, in fact), and spread the culture that the princes and princesses of the country adored.

Then, after seven years of royal servitude, the pedigreed boat was sold back into private ownership, where it eventually fell into disrepair. It wasn’t until 2004 that the classic was once again brought to the public eye when it was found and purchased by surveyors and restorers Tony and Cindy McGrail, who subsequently spent four years and over one million pounds returning the ship to her former glory. Unfortunately, the dedicated couple was unable to keep the boat they lovingly refurbished, but they did make sure it found a good home when they sold it to the Royal Yacht Britannia Trust in 2010.

Today, the beautiful sailing vessels bobs alongside the Britannia in Edinburgh, where it is open to the public as a floating museum. Like the Britannia, the Bloodhound will be available to rent for events at certain times (during the summer months, interested parties can shell out 1,200 to 1,800 pounds a week to charter the wooden beauty and teach their own little skippers to sail). But for the majority of the year, it will serve as a testament to the love of open water, wind in the sails, and the will of man to travel the ocean blue.

To complete the story, below are some interesting photos of the main Royal Yacht still in service, named Britannia:

Top 5 technologically advanced yachts and superyachts

admin — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 12:57:17 +0000

Yachts today are the motor watertight homes of many wealthy individuals and this is no surprise since from the end of the 16th century until today, these sailing homes have experienced long and eventful history of constant development which is the reason why from sailing boats with the purpose of transport of the Dutch navy in the late 16th century, they have become luxurious resorts that could be afforded by very few.

Aside from the luxurious features, this period of constant improvement has made them the most technologically advanced beauties the seas and oceans have ever seen. This is the reason why it is logical to seek for the top 5 technologically advanced yachts in the newer models of the renowned yacht manufacturers.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

1.) The first on our list is a member of the Bentley family. Bentley as a yacht manufacturer is known to bring the most technologically advanced pieces in the yacht industry. Each and every manufacture from this company is well known for the advanced military hull, completely equipped to provide the smoothest ride first of all thanks to the computerized motion control system and all of them are proven to beat the yachts from all other manufacturers, no matter the current sea conditions.

This miracle develops cruising speed of 350 kilometers an hour and has cargo capacity of 20 tones and it is a perfect choice for you who are known to be extremely demanding when purchasing a yacht.

2.) Next on our list comes a model from the Cheoy Lee yacht manufacture company which is famous for their tradition in manufacturing the best pieces from the sailing technology for over a century now. A collection from this company which is the most worth mentioning since technology advancement comes to question is the very famous Serenity line. The most successfully crafted yacht from this company is the Serenity 83 which characteristics that stick this model out from the crowd are the hull and decks made of single-skinned fiber glass, big fresh and waste water tanks, and it is powers with a twin diesel engine. This yacht is expected to be launched for the first time during this summer.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

3.) Number three on our top 5 technologically advanced yachts list will be the Marten 49 from the Marten Yachts Collection. This piece is specially designed for choosy owners who want their yachts to have both topnotch technological performances and provide them a pleasant and comfortable sailing experience. Marten 49 drastically differentiates from other yachts in the carefully designed features and using materials which will give it high performances and even higher level of endurance.

We are talking about the newest Vicem 72 which shows the trails of the impeccable Turkish construction. This beauty has a remarkable fuel tank capacity of over 850 gallons and water tank capacity of 400 gallons.

Protective eyewear, the best accessory investment on your boat

admin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 18:32:18 +0000

We are saying this because when sailing or yachting, we always tend not to forget the important pieces of accessories which will both make us look better and feel safe and protected. The most important of these is a nice protective pair of eyeglasses.

However, when we talk about eyeglasses, we are talking about eyeglasses in general, whether it would be a nice pair of yachting sunglasses or prescription glasses really depends on the conditions and your current needs.

If you have the need of wearing eyeglasses, that is to say, you have a vision anomaly, no matter how small and insignificant your diagnosis at the optometrist is, you are more than obliged to wear them. Not seeing things right at the open sea might endanger both your life and the lives of the people around you. There are many designers that have dedicated at least one of their many eyeglasses collections to this very essential group for the wellbeing of everybody – sailing or yachting high-protective eyewear.

Even if you do not have the need of wearing prescription glasses, even though in today’s era of computer invasion hardly anyone can say not to have that kind of problem, you will still need to be protected from the perilous rays and enjoy your yachting summer at full gear. That is why the market offers a palette of different kinds of yachting sunglasses. And a perfect solution for yachting sunglasses are the sunglasses with polarized lenses. Why polarized lenses are the optimal solution? We are sure you have noticed those irritating light waves on the surface which can cause a real headache. Now, sunglasses with polarized lenses are proven to solve the problem by reducing the sunlight glare by an amazing percentage of 99,7%. So don’t waste your precious time and buy some glasses online.

The open sea offers real fun and very pleasant experiences, however, it can also cause unnecessary headaches if you forget the things you can use to fight the enemies of the open sea. Therefore, do not forget your eyeglasses while sailing or yachting. It can save lives, and we are not exaggerating.

The perks of fractional yacht ownership

admin — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 13:27:21 +0000

We are sure that many of you dream to spend at least a month or two enjoying the perks of yachting, but it has all been dreaming so far since you simply cannot afford it. Well, here is good news. You should stop dreaming since here, at www.SmartYacht.net you can make your dream come true with the help of fractional ownership.

To find out about the perks of yacht fractional ownership we will first have to define the term fractional ownership. Fractional ownership is a partial share of something (mostly) expensive, between two or more fractional owners. In contrast to timeshare models, fractional ownership goes along with a real ownership, coming along with the right to trade and sell it as you please and get some money back. The most common forms of fractional ownership are aircrafts, however fractional ownership for luxury motor cruisers and yachts, property and supercars are becoming more popular!

Fractional ownership means both sharing the enjoyment and costs over one of the products mentioned above. The financial benefits of fractional yacht ownership versus conventional ownership and charter are obvious: You simply mitigate your risk and save money in areas like acquisition, maintenance, management or mooring. With conventional yacht ownership, budgets usually dictate the size of the yacht you will own, whereas with fractional ownership, you enjoy a much larger yacht of a higher standard with that same budget. Moreover you can mostly take advantage of a professional management taking care of all the hassles of yachting, so you can really enjoy your precious leisure time on board.

Twenty years ago fractional ownership became common for jets only. Now this thing of fractional ownership became more famous among people since yachts came to question. The dream of every successful and ambitious man is to take his family, friends or business partners to a yacht cruise enjoying some 10 or 15 days in having fun with the open sea ahead of you. However, owning a yacht is not a possible thing for each and every one of us. In fact, the number of those who can afford such an expensive beauty is small.

A yacht is not just expensive when you buy it. Once you’ve bought it, it is expensive for the time you own it because of many reasons like the annual costs, the maintaining costs, fuel costs since a thing like a yacht is pricy to maintain in a good condition at all times. And all that for what? You will not use the yacht for more than a month or two in a whole year. The rest will probably be just throwing money away.

That is exactly the reason why we are going to offer you a less pricy and a more reasonable solution. SmartYacht offers shares in motor yachts (> 50ft) at various locations around the Mediterranean Sea. Once you’ve purchases a share in your desired yacht, you can use it for a minimum of six (6) and up to 18 weeks per year (depending on the size of share). A modern online reservation system guarantees a fair allocation among the fractional owners, and enables you enjoying the privilege of being a billionaire without having to be one in reality. Seriously who needs a yacht 365 days of the year, 7 days a week? It is the same feeling of an owner when you get aboard only you will have one part of the financial headache that the single owner has.

Another thing why it is a good idea to choose fractional ownership instead of single ownership is because you can significantly reduce your personal efforts coming along with ownership of an asset. A professional management is taking care of the yacht and also organizing the group of fractional owners. Neither you have to take care of administrative tasks like insurance, nor organize operational things like crew, maintenance or mooring. If you have got the money to buy a yacht on your own, that probably means you are a very busy person. If you are busy, how can you spare some time to work on the maintenance of your yacht? With fractional ownership, you do not have to be right next to the yacht just to take care for everything to be perfectly ok, but the yacht will be kept in top condition throughout the year, and maintenance, mooring and repositioning will be organized for you. All you have to do is step on board! And don’t forget you only have to pay a fraction of the costs.

SmartYacht is a company which secret of success hides in the 25-year experience.
The only thing you need to do is visit the company’s website at the following page http://www.smartyacht.net/smartyacht/topnav/home/ to have a look at the current offers and dive into the fascinating world of luxury yachting. If you are interested in getting to know more information about the SmartYacht fractional ownership programme, you can also directly get in contact with the company and register (it’s simple and without any commitment) at http://www.smartyacht.net/smartyacht/topnav/contact/

www.SmartYacht.net you can make your dream come true with the help of fractional ownership.

Celebrity Yachts, Yachting Locations and Luxury Resorts

SarahHarris — Sun, 09 May 2010 08:13:04 +0000

Everyone likes to go on vacation, especially the rich and famous. But the class and service of a 5-star resort can become tedious and boring. Often these getaways are littered with fans and paparazzi, which is a terrible burden when trying to relax and unwind. Much like everything else in their lives, the rich and famous tend to go overboard when they’re on vacation. In order to receive the utmost privacy and luxury, they’re happy to spend time – and money, lots of money – on luxury yachts. On board these behemoth’s they can holiday in their favorite exotic destinations while enjoying the privacy they crave. Despite a week on a luxury yacht costing upwards of $100,000, celebrities love everything the yacht vacation has to offer.

The 5-star service and unbelievable facilities aboard these yachts are to die for. Celebrities are often whisked away to their own personal sea resort by private plane, and then pampered for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Yachting crews are ready at a moment’s notice when a celebrity decides they want to get away from it all. Crew members tend to a celebrity and their guests’ every need, from safety, to itinerary, to world class gourmet food. They delight in living in a resort type atmosphere while enjoying some much needed alone time at sea. They can bathe on the sun deck, snorkel in a cove, or explore a nearby deserted island. The options are nearly limitless.

While there are prime yachting destinations all over the world, celebrities tend to enjoy the Mediterranean in the summer time, and the Caribbean in the fall. Since its popularity arose in the 1950s, when the glamour of Frank Sinatra, Greta Garbo, and Marilyn Monroe frequented the Côte d’Azur, it still remains as one of the most popular yachting destinations. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones are recurring visitors to the nearby Balearic Islands, while Jon Bon Jovi, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, and Denzel Washington prefer the island of Sardinia. As the winter months creep in, celebrities flock to St. Bart’s to celebrate a warm Christmas and ring in the New Year. A-list stars such as Elton John, Tom Cruise, and Robert DeNiro park their yachts side-by-side as they take in the warmth of the Caribbean.

Whether the yachts are chosen for personal getaways, private interludes, entertaining fellow A-list guests, or enjoying the open sea, celebrities will continue to relax and relish in the luxury these yachts offer.
