For this year’s MIPIM event, why not rent a private yacht?
One of the largest and most ideal yachts for a MIPIM Yacht Charter cruise is the RM Elegant which measures 72.48 meters (237.53 feet).
RM ELEGANT can comfortably accommodate up to 30 guests overnight in its fifteen staterooms. She is regarded as one of the elite charter yachts of her kind in the industry. Elegant 007 (her new name) always draws attention wherever she docks. Some of her include a master suite, a VIP stateroom, and thirteen (13) luxurious guest staterooms. All staterooms have ensuite bathrooms, spacious seating areas, and state-of-the-art entertainment centers.
Both her master and VIP staterooms have a study area and jacuzzi hot tub.

Superyacht Under Construction
We welcome new safety rules for the construction of superyachts. These apply to the mega yacht charter marketplace. Specifically, for charter party yachts of more than 12 passengers.
BV, Bureau Veritas, is the international classification society. The Bureau updated the set of classification rules for yachts. The rules cover multiple things. For instance, design, material and equipment certification. They also cover construction surveillance at the shipyard. In addition, standards apply to yacht charter vessels of over 12 passengers.
These new standards bridge the gap between international conventions applying to passenger ships and yacht industry standards.
Jana Sheeder, President of 1-800 Yacht Charters says new regulations are long overdue.
“We’ve been fighting for new standards for a long time. The regulatory environment for luxury yacht charter vessels carrying more than twelve passengers has been confusing for years. Costly conventions developed for passenger vessels like cruise ships carrying hundreds of passengers were forced upon superyachts clearly built for large families and corporate charters.”

According to Sheeder, the cost of compliance to non-conforming standards means charter yachts with the capacity to carry more than 12 passengers have been forced to only accept charters for 12 or fewer passengers.
“Owners of yachts with accommodations for 13 or more guests were hesitant to spend the large sums of money needed to bring their yachts into compliance with cruiseship-level standards.”
“The result,” says Sheeder, “is that only a handful of mega yacht charter vessels can legally accommodate more than 12 guests. ”
The new Bureau Veritas rules develop a set of requirements. These are close to the international conventions, but they are customized to the yacht industry standards. The new regulations result in new charter yachts built to carry between twelve and thirty six passengers.
“The demand is there,” says Sheeder. “Large, extended families end up renting island villas or staying in resorts when no suitable yachts are available. Hopefully, the new regulations will result in more available yachts for parties of thirteen or more.”
Yachts currently available for large families include the 36-passenger motor yacht CHRISTINA O. In addition, the 40-passenger LAUREN L, and the 36-passenger motor yacht MOONLIGHT II are favorites. The 30-passenger motor yacht RM ELEGANT fits the bill as well.
In conclusion, large families enjoy yachting on one vessel. When you are ready to plan your vacation, please contact Jana Sheeder, President of 1-800 Yacht Charters at jsheeder@1800yachtcharters.com
