Some of the newest and largest yachts for hire win awards. They starred at the sixth annual World Superyacht Awards. This was in London, May 7, 2011.
Sixteen new yachts were honored. Nine are available for hire. These are in popular vacation destinations around the world. The 50 meter EXUMA was co-winner of the prestigious,”Motor Yacht of the Year,” with yacht, Eclipse.
The Neptune awards are considered the “Oscars of the yacht industry.” A beautiful evening ceremony took place at London’s historic Guildhall. The distinguished guests attend the glittering gala . For instance, over 500 yacht owners and naval architects. Also included were designers, their families, and friends. With this in mind, it was an amazing event.
Silver Neptune trophies went to owners of sail and motor yachts delivered in 2010. For instance, Kokomo (sailboat) and Sycara V (motoryacht).

A dozen or so Mediterranean yacht charter vessels prepare. It is time for the regatta in Sardinia. At the same time, another race is canceled abruptly due to the threat of a hurricane.
Nevertheless, preparations in Costa Smeralda, Sardinia continue. A fleet of Perini Navi yachts are poised to compete in the Perini Navi Cup. During this time, race organizers of the 25th annual Newport Bucket Regatta are busy. The race is August 25 – 28, 2011, and Hurricane Irene had other ideas. As a result, they called off Saturday’s main event as Hurricane Irene arrived.
The actual race was cancelled. The unfettered spirit and camaraderie shone on. Equally important, the big post race party, known as “The Bash,” is a go. It shifted by one night, from Saturday, to Friday.
On Wednesday, the yacht captains in the Newport Bucket Regatta had a meeting. Specifically, Peter Craig and bucket director Hank Halsted were there Consensus determined that Hurricane Irene’s threat made race cancellation the only choice. Transitioning from race mode to storm mode for a superyacht is extremely time-consuming. The decision was finally made to safeguard the yachts and their crews.
In spite of preparing for the storm, some owners and their families and guests are ready. They plan to enjoy the gala Bucket Bash at the Newport Shipyard. The Bash will feature all the food and festivities planned for the special 25th Anniversary Celebration.
In like fashion, the Texas Legends Airshow, was also canceled. It was held in conjunction with the Bucket and sponsored each year by the owner of the yacht, Tenacious. All eyes look ahead to the 2012 Newport Bucket Regatta!
Chartering a sailboat for the a regatta is a unique experience. It is filled with excitement and fun. There are dozens of friendly regattas around the world. Contact 1-800 Yacht Charters HERE for more regatta information.
