74m Motor Yacht MOGAMBO Available for Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Yacht Charter, Nov 25-27, 2016

Posted on

 

Yas Island Marina at Abu Dhabi

 

FORMULA 1 IN ABU DHABI

The excitement of Formula 1 racing comes to Abu Dhabi this month.  The best seat in the house is undoubtedly onboard private luxury yacht MOGAMBO.

She is moored at Yas Marina.  That is directly adjacent to the race course.  The 74m Nobiskrug yacht MOGAMBO is available for an Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Yacht Charter.  Her weekly rental rate is $650,000, plus running expenses.  With a 5-night minimum reservation  required and spanning the actual race dates of November 25-27, it is an exceptional opportunity.

 

MOGAMBO ON SCENE

Built in 2012, super yacht MOGAMBO looks better than ever, having undergone a partial refit.  She’s been fully repainted, and he now has a 7th cabin for added flexibility for charter guests and/or occasional workers.  The sundeck Jacuzzi has been significantly enlarged, and the gym has been redesigned.

KEY FEATURES OF MOGAMBO

The yacht’s key features include a master suite on main deck including office and balcony ensuite, as well as an exterior cinema viewing and indoor gym on sun deck.  Additionally, this yacht has an elevator from lower deck to bridge deck and a large deck and interior spaces.  She also features creature comforts, for instance, a hair/beauty salon and massage room.  What makes her specifically stand out are her large floor to ceiling windows.  If you desire additional supernumeraries onboard, she has a 7th cabin for occasional workers.

 

ETIHAD AIRWAYS PARTICIPATION

The 2016 FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX is the Middle East’s biggest international sporting event and the only twilight race on the F1® calendar.  The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is just one of two Formula 1 circuit races that directly encompass a marina where guests can enjoy the action from the deck of a superyacht.  The other is Monaco.

 

 

 

WHAT MAKES GRAND PRIX YACHT CHARTERS FAMOUS?

Grand Prix yacht charter vacations in Monaco are famous for their celebrity parties and many racing sponsors hire yachts to serve as private, secure viewing platforms. Much of the course in the Abu Dhabi race hugs the Yas Marina Circuit and viewing the action from a yacht is unobstructed by bleachers or buildings.

WHO IS APACHE II

The 44 meter motor yacht APACHE II will probably draw as much attention along the Côte d’Azur as the celebrities on her decks.

Superyacht AURELIA – unique paint job

Motor yacht Jana Speeds On to Abu Dhabi Grand Prix

Posted on

Profile photo of motoryacht Jana underway. The city of Monaco is in the background.
THE GRAND PRIX

Watching an auto race is exhilarating. The elements of speed and danger seem fused together by the power of high-torque engines and the drivers with nerves of steel.  But let’s be honest – sitting in the hot grandstands with thousands of strangers is less than the ideal way to view the glamour, the cars, and the grid girls of a Formula 1 event.

Photograph of girls dressed in red skirts, white shirts, and white heels, all standing in a straight line, with their hands on their hips.

Thus, it’s little wonder why the Port Hercule marina in Monaco is filled to capacity in May for the annual running of the Monaco Grand Prix.  With the cars zipping by the marina, there’s no doubt the best seat in the house is on a luxury yacht.

Unfortunately, the rest of the 2011 Formula 1 races take place on tracks far removed from the oceanside.  That is, all but one other – the 2011 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

 

YACHTS HEADED TO ABU DHABI FOR RACE

It’s rare for a Mediterranean yacht charter vessel to make the sojourn to the Middle East, but one superyacht is anxious to secure a reservation for the 2011 Abu Dhabi Grand Prixmotoryacht JANA.

The classic 46 meter Feadship is actively seeking a booking for the November 11-13 racing event.

Built in 1986, the yacht has received several refits throughout her charter career, the most recent being in 2009, in which she had the majority of her hull and superstructure repainted and most of her of soft furnishings replaced.  The Dutch-built masterpiece accommodates 10 – 12 guests in 5 cabins.  With a large sun deck, motor yacht JANA can easily host race day soirees for 20 to 40 guests.

 

COMPANY PRESIDENT COMMENT

According to Jana Sheeder, President of SailAway Yacht Charters and 1-800 Yacht Charters,

“This yacht offers the best in accommodations, cuisine, amenities, and service, plus she has a wide array of aquasport toys for guests to enjoy in the warmth of the Middle Eastern sun.”

Photograph of Jana Sheeder, President of 1-800 Yacht Charters and SailAway Yacht Charter Consultants.  She is leaning on the side rail of a motoryacht.  Her name is written in green at the top of the photo.

 

The yacht is available for the Grand Prix at the rate of €100,000 for 5 days, plus running expenses (items such as food, bar, dockage, etc.).

Sheeder says her office will assist in securing a premium berth to view the race.

“We have a first-class team in place to handle all concierge-related requests, from dockage – to ground transportation – to catering a cocktail reception on the yacht.”

 

RACE DETAILS IN ABU DHABI

The race takes place on the Yas Marina Circuit, located on Yas Island, about 30 minutes from Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. Approximately 50,000 spectators can view the action on the circuit from permanent, covered grandstands that protect visitors from the desert sun. Of course, the best viewing areas are the most secure and private – the decks of the yachts in the Yas Marina.

The circuit is 5.55 kilometers long, with a total of 21 corners with 9 right turns and 12 left turns. The track features a lot of hairpins and long straights, and there are few potential overtaking places. The pit lane entry is very challenging, as is the exit, which runs underneath the track in a tunnel.

The world’s largest indoor theme park, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, is also located on Yas Island. The park hosts more than 20 rides and attractions. One of the attractions, Formula Rossa, has the same G force one would feel driving in an F1 car and braking at maximum speed. It is the world’s fastest roller coaster, powered through the 2.07 km track at speeds up to 240 km/h, reaching 0-100 km/h in less than two seconds.

Sheeder believes the popularity of Abu Dhabi is on the rise, and a Grand Prix yacht charter is a great opportunity to explore the area by yacht. “In addition to the race and related social events onboard motoryacht JANA, there is so much to see and do in Abu Dhabi,” says Sheeder.  “The people are warm and hospitable and the weather in November feels like the summer in the Med.”

Race-Inspired Heesen Yacht Charter Vessel Secures Spanish Charter License

Posted on

SUMMER IN SPAIN

Imagine a few days in the sunny, warm waters of Spain.  We hear exciting tips from the owner and crew onboard the 37 meter Heesen motor yacht AURELIA.  After making a week-long appearance earlier this month at the Palma Superyacht Show, the crew reports a shiny new sticker now appears on the yacht’s windshield – a Spanish charter license – the mandatory requirement of any yacht wishing to legally offer Balearic Island yacht charters.

FORMULA 1

The Formula 1 race inspired motoryacht is now fully-licensed and legal to begin and end charters in Spanish waters, affording the head-turning yacht a distinct advantage over other yachts for hire.  Like any “racing team,” the professional crew of 6 is motivated to show up the competition – to the delight of their onboard guests!

 

COMPANY PRESIDENT COMMENTS

“Foreign flagged yachts can enter Spanish waters,” explains Jana Sheeder, President of 1-800 Yacht Charters (a boutique company specializing in luxury yachting vacations for HNWI), “but unless they are licensed in Spain, they cannot pick up their guests in Spanish waters, nor can they charter to Spanish residents.  Securing a Spanish charter license is a real plus for our clients who wish to spend their entire superyacht experience in Spain, especially in the most popular destination, the Balearic Islands.”

 

AURELIA RACE-THEMED BOAT

The 37-meter motor yacht AURELIA features a unique exterior paint scheme, more synonymous with Grand Prix racing cars than superyachts.  Her interior by Bannenberg and Rowell continues the Formula 1 theme, with décor and guest cabins colored to pay homage to famous racing designers like Pininfarina and Bertone.   Four staterooms offer accommodations for up to 8 guests.

SO MUCH TO DO

Looking for fun AND relaxation? Check out the yacht’s amazing collection of toys and amenities for both watersports and onshore recreation.  For instance, wakeboard, kneeboard, and towable toys.  In addition, a 5.5m Castoldi jet tender, 2 electric bicycles, and an air chair.  Further, a 2-person SeaDoo (255 horsepower), 2 SeaBobs, and a 1-person and 2-person kayak.

Need more toys? Here they are!  Moreover, an inflatable banana, 3 sets of SCUBA DIVING gear  (Rendezvous RDV diving only), a large anti-jellyfish swimming pool, and a diving board on flybridge. Lastly, fishing rods, extra-wide waterskis, normal waterskis, and training waterskis.

What an exhausting list… Wow!!!

UPDATED Unique Yacht Paint Jobs

Posted on

UPDATE 1-18-2019 —

ADDED – THUNDERBIRD 2

Presenting powercat THUNDERBIRD 2.  A motorized catamaran with a very unique paintjob!  Thanks to Sarah for letting us know that it should be included in this blog. We agree!  Go green! #gogreen

YACHT PAINT JOBS

Everyone knows that picking house paint colors isn’t just difficult, it’s terrifying! Pick colors that are blah, and your house will seem featureless and flat. But if the colors you pick are too bold, they might overwhelm the architecture…and upset your neighbors.

CURB APPEAL

The best colors will highlight the most beautiful features of your home. Skillful use of color can even disguise design flaws, boosting the, “curb appeal” and market value of your home.

Finding that magic color combination also holds true for luxury mega yacht charter vessels. 

 

DOCK APPEAL

The first thing a potential client sees when preparing to rent a private yacht is the exterior. The “dock appeal” must catch the attention of the prospect and pique his curiosity to see the interior as well.

 

WHITE YACHTS

Traditionally, yachts were painted simply – clean, bright white.  With modern technology, new paints and colors that resist fading and the harsh marine environment have been developed.  Now, the only limit to the exterior color scheme of a yacht is the owner’s imagination.

SAMPLE YACHTS

Here’s a sampling of unique paint schemes and colors on some of the newest and largest yachts around the world:

 

QUITE ESSENTIAL

Aerial photograph of a red and white motoryacht. It is headed toward the lower left side of the photo
QUITE ESSENTIAL  – With a striking color scheme of Oyster White and Merlot Red, developed by the owner in close collaboration with Dobroserdov Design, Heesen motor yacht Quite Essential will certainly not pass unnoticed in the Mediterranean yacht charter fleet.  It is said the red color was inspired by the owner’s love for Merlot wine!    

SLIPSTREAM

SLIPSTREAM – celebrity owner, former American Idol 
judge, and X-Factor creator Simon Cowell, is known for wearing simple, dark colored T-shirts against pale blue jeans. The classic deep blue hull and gun-blue superstructure of Cowell’s yacht Slipstream sets the scene for a truly nautical and contemporary super yacht. 

 

BLACK AND WHITE

Photograph of a black and white motoryacht underway. It is headed toward the bottom left side of the photo.
BLACK and WHITE –  the distinctive black and white theme onboard motor yacht BLACK AND WHITE 
is based on the ancient yin yang symbol, a Chinese sign for the mixing of complementary opposites.  Launched in 2010, this magnificent Sunseeker 34 yacht mixes not only color, but also high-end amenities and comfort with performance and power.

 

MISTER JINGLES

Aeriral photograph of a gold and black yacht underway.. It is coming toward the lower right side of the photo.
MISTER JINGLES – the global debt crisis has focused great attention on the value of gold.  The color gold draws nearly as much attention, especially on  a yacht painted stem to stern in this shiny, metallic palette.  Designed and built by Italy’s Fashion Yachts, motor yacht Mister Jingles 
debuted as a luxury yacht charter vessel in 2009.  The metallic performance yacht  boasts a 35 knot cruising speed – perfect for quickly getting from one famous port to another.

 

AURELIA


Photograph of a colorful motoryacht. It has a light blue hull, orange section at the top of the hull, then a white superstructure. There is a number 10 in black in a white circle, like a racecar, on the side of the yacht toward the back.
AURELIA – recently, we profiled yachts named after race horses by their loving owners
.  It seems another type of race fan – Formula 1 cars – is just as proud to display his passion on a yacht.  The 37-Meter Heesen motor yacht Aurelia boast an unusual color scheme from Dobroserdov Design, inspired by the owner’s passion for racing cars.  Zoom Zoom Zoom!

Which Color Is Best?   Motor Yacht Sherakhan Gets Makeover

Posted on

WHICH COLOR IS BEST?

If you owned a 228 foot luxury yacht charter vessel, would you paint it deep blue or polar white?

If you owned the massive motor yacht SHERAKHAN, the answer is — BOTH!

 ALL ABOUT SHERAKHAN

Originally built in 1965, the current owner bought the commercial vessel in 2005 and undertook a massive refit – basically gutting the entire ship from bow to stern and rebuilt her into a yacht charter vessel with accommodations for 26 guests (most yachts are limited to 12 or fewer). The full rebuild featured all new plumbingelectrical systems, air conditioning, and generators.It also included a beautiful new paint job – a deep blue hull, with a white superstructure.

 

Profile of yacht SHERAKHAN with blue hull and white superstructure

 

WHAT IS THE LATEST NEWS?

Fast forward to 2017, and the owner decided it was time for another refit. All new decks were installed, along with new soft fabrics throughout the guests areas and cabins, and a complete overhaul of all major equipment in the engine room.

As he did in 2005, the owner completely repainted the superyacht charter vessel – this time a clean, crisp white, with subtle grey accents.

CAN I CHARTER THIS YACHT? Sherakhan motoryacht profile with white hull and superstructure and caribbean mountain in background

The expedition style yacht is available in the Caribbean and will remain there through April.  In the summer, the yacht will relocate to the Mediterranean (e.g.  Monaco yacht charter or Grand Prix formula 1 races, etc.) for the summer.

 

WE WANT YOUR THOUGHTS

So what do you think?   Do you think she looks better in blue or in white?
