The Mediterranean yacht charter marketplace is bursting at the seams with over a dozen new builds in the past 12 months. Many of the newest yachts have been delivered to their owners and the luxury yacht charter crews are busy preparing these mega yachts for their Mediterranean yacht charter season.
BENETTI YACHTS
The eagerly awaited Benetti mega yacht AMNESIA and superyacht CRN Ancona MARAYA have now been launched to great acclaim. The 196.8′ (60m) megayacht AMNESIA is chartering in Croatia. In addition, she goes to southern Italy for the summer, as well. After that, she heads to the Caribbean for winter.
MARAYA
Super yacht MARAYA translates as “many mirrors.” She spends part of 2008 in luxury yacht charter service. Her crew of 15 is eager to put in a full summer. In particular, offering customers either a French Rivera yacht charter, or a Croatia yacht charter. The Monaco Grand Prix and Cannes Film Festival are close. The volumes of deck space on this superyacht make her ideal as a corporate event yacht.
AICON SPA YACHT
A number of smaller, more intimate yachts, suitable for 4 to 6 passengers, are eager to enter. Specifically, both the Western and Eastern Mediterranean, and Turkey and Greece yacht charter markets this summer. Leading the way is the 2009 speedy 23 meter Aicon Spa yacht ENCORE, with accommodations for 6 to 8 guests.
MISTER JINGLES
The super-charged yacht MISTER JINGLES, also built in 2009 and will be cruising from the French Riviera on down to the Amalfi coast at a blistering 35 knots.
Another highly successful summer charter season is anticipated in the Mediterranean. Keep your eyes opened for more new builds to hit the seas this spring.
