Posted on

Gulet photo of yacht, Regina..

GULET SUPERYACHT

The world of gulet charters in Turkey just took a giant leap into the future with the launch of superyacht REGINA.

 

PRESENTING REGINA

Turkey — The 56-meter gulet yacht REGINA was launched on 11th February 2011, in Bodrum.   The vessel was completed in 24 months in Pruva Yachting’s shipyard.  Sea trials and final fitting complete before the summer 2011 season. 
 

COMPANY PRESIDENT COMMENTS

According to 1-800 Yacht Charters President, Jana Sheeder, a new era of sophistication has arrived in the eastern Med. 
For years, some people have felt charters in Turkey were synonymous with old, wooden gulets with few onboard amenities,” says Sheeder.  “With the launch of REGINA, we are proud to herald the arrival of a gulet with megayacht proportions and luxurious appointments.  She’s a modern, high-performance schooner with the creature comforts customers expect on a charter yacht.”

 

ACCOMMODATIONS

Accommodations are offered for 12 guests in 6 staterooms.  All staterooms have 32 inch flat panel TV’s with satellite connection. They also include Blu-ray disc players and PlayStation3 game controllers.  A centralized remote control system controls both music and televisions for a few locations; for instance, the saloon, aft deck, fore deck, and all interior areas.

 
Sheeder is excited to share this vessel, one of the newest and largest yachts available for charter with her clients. “This 56 meter gulet presents a new dimension to cruising in the Eastern Mediterranean – the traditional “feel” of a classic gulet, with the modern level of luxury that discerning charterers demand.

RATES

Summer 2011 rates for REGINA are €75,000 per week in July and August. She offers €65,000 per week in all other months.  Her rates are plus any local taxes and all running expenses, for example,  food, fuel, bar, and dockage.

Luxury Sailing Yacht Builder In A Class Of Its Own

Posted on

LUXURY SAILING VESSELS 

Was it really ten months ago that nearly two dozen of the largest luxury sailing charter vessels gathered in Porto Cervo, Sardinia for one of the most popular yachting events in the Mediterranean, the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta?

 

LORO PIANA REGATTA

This past week, 28 superyacht vessels converged at the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda base in Virgin Gorda for the third “Caribbean” edition of the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta, sponsored by luxury Italian brand Loro Piana.

 

PERINI NAVI STANDS OUT

If there is one yacht builder that stands out among all others at these events, it has to be Perini Navi.  Since the early eighties, Perini Navi has built luxury sailing charter vessels in a class of their own. To date, the company has built 52 yachts, measuring up to 88 meters in length.

MALTESE FALCON

Flagship of the fleet is the Perini Navi yacht MALTESE FALCON, delivered in 2006. A masterpiece of technology and design, the 88 meter yacht MALTESE FALCON is without equal.  At the 2013 Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta, Perini Navi will be represented by 38m cruiser/racer sail yacht P2, as well as the sleek and stylish 54m yacht PARSIFAL III

OTHER PERINI’S

Other Perini Navi yacht charter vessels are often available in the Caribbean. For instance, 56 meter yacht SALUTE and the 50 meter yacht BARACUDA.

With the demand for luxury sailing charter catamarans on the rise, the team at Lagoon recently introduced the all-new 2012 Lagoon 620 catamaran at the Cannes Boat Show.  The Lagoon 620 is an innovative solution to the needs of today’s discerning Caribbean yacht charter client.  Professional design by the architects Van Peteghem and Lauriot Prévost (VPLP).  The  yacht seamlessly blends strength, comfort, and performance in a charter-friendly cabin layout.

 

LAGOON 620

The 2012 version of the Lagoon 620, features luxurious and comfortable interiors by Nauta.  Dining room settee redesign is lovely. In addition, the ceiling enables more indirect lighting.  The master cabin starboard side modifications are tremendous. The washroom is now aft on either side of the cockpit access stairs.  This modification creates more storage space in the bedroom for the charterer’s luggage.  The forward starboard cabin is a true V.I.P. suite.  Additional volume created by the repositioning of the master cabin’s washroom.

 

MULTIPLE VERSIONS

The Lagoon 620 catamaran has 4, 5 and 6 cabin versions.  All versions featuring Nauta interior layout packages. In addition, they incorporate multiple items. For instance, wood finish, upholstery, and inner liners.
