Luxury yacht charters: High Demand For Berths Expected For London Olympics Yacht Charters
Dockage in London for Olympics
LONDON OLYMPIC GAMES
Renting a luxury yacht charter vessel for the London Olympic Games is easy. Securing a place to dock is a challenge, however.
BERTHS TO DOCK YACHTS
Event organizers expect a scramble for berths. Dockage along the Thames river and canals is premium. Some of London’s waterways pass within 100 meters of the Olympic stadium at Stratford. Last minute space is unlikely to be available.
CHRISTINA O
Some vessels like the 99 meter legendary Mediterranean yacht charter motor yacht CHRISTINA Ohave already arrived in London to stake out a berth, nearly five months in advance of the Games.
