Floating Office | Working Vacations on Large Yachts

Posted on

Aerial photograph of a man in a black suit and red tie, floating on a large blue raft in a pool. He is wearing sunglasses, talking on a cellphone, and using a laptop that sits in his lap. There are palm tree branches overhead.

The working vacation: one report estimates that 30% of employees do office work while on vacation.

Sure, you can call it an oxymoron, but in reality, many corporate executives mix business with pleasure when spending time away from the office.

Increasingly, the largest yachts available for luxury mega yacht charter are being designed with the  business traveler in mind – whether it’s via a small desk to check emails, or a complete media room for meetings and conferences.

The most common design is an area adjacent to the master cabin, which can serve as both an office or a sitting room.

The least common, but starting to appear in more and more superyachts is the dedicated meeting center.  Normally not part of the master suite, these dedicated media spaces are often on a separate deck, with room for conducting business and holding meetings or small conferences.

Whether formal or casual in design, most office spaces onboard yachts feature built-in internet connections, video screens, storage space, and most importantly – privacy.

Let’s look at some modern onboard office areas:

Motoryacht MI SUENO –  the study is part of the owner’s suite and features comfort, privacy, and the latest in technology.

Motoryacht SIREN –  situated forward on the yacht’s main deck is the master suite. Attached is a private office which can be converted into a nanny’s stateroom with a double Pullman berth.

Motoryacht TURQUOISE – connected to the owner’s cabin, the office seems small in comparison to other yachts.  What makes the room with desk so charming is the upright piano.

WELLNESS

Remember to always focus on wellness.  Take a technology break on vacation. You owe it to yourself to rest, relax, and enjoy the fruits of your labors!

Iconic Superyacht Completes Refit in Time for France Yacht Charter Season

Posted on

YACHT LAUNCH DETAILS

This gorgeous yacht launch was 2000.  Ninety-five meter (311 foot) motor yacht INDIAN EMPRESS then ranked among the 20 largest yachts in the world.  Sixteen years of wear and tear takes a toll on a superyacht.  After a record-setting refit, she returns to full glory.  Specifically in time for the upcoming charter season in the South of France.

 

AMAZING REFIT

Mark Berryman Design revamp of the interior created contemporary atmosphere.  A Turquoise Yachts refit in a record time of 6 months cost €6.4 million.

Originally built for a member of the royal Qatari family, yacht INDIAN EMPRESS was purchased by her current owner, Vijay Mallya in 2006, and ever since has enjoyed a stellar reputation as one of the largest yachts available for hire. She’s a fixture at celebrity-studded events such as the Monaco Grand Prix.

COMPANY PRESIDENT COMMENTS

Jana Sheeder and her team at 1-800 Yacht Charters offer magnificent superyacht Indian Empress for hire for a maximum 12 guests, at a weekly rate of €750,000 plus running expenses (items such as food, alcohol, fuel, dockage, etc.). Sheeder was impressed by the quick turnaround at Turquoise.

“The owner’s extensive work brief required a very short turnaround time frame, and Mr. Karabeyoglu (the CEO of Turquoise) and his team are known for their speed and flexibility,” says Sheeder. “Being diligent in the design phase prior to the commencement of the refit allowed Turquoise to truly understand the owner’s desires and the instructions of the team at Mark Berryman.  Proper planning in advance helped Turquoise complete this major remodeling in record time.”

 

UPGRADES

The yacht upgrades are many. For instance, a remodeled bridge deck (where a large lobby was re-designed into a corridor). In addition, a new office with new walls.  Finally, a new fire alarm and sprinkler system.

LIKE NEW

Looking like new, the 16 year old yacht INDIAN EMPRESS is currently the largest private yacht charter vessel in service in the Mediterranean.

 

UNIQUE

She remains a unique yacht. She exudes timeless design and an intriguing history.

Wrap it Up! Private Yacht Charter Vessels – From Drab to Fab

Posted on

WRAP A YACHT

How do you change the color of your superyacht?  Can you do it without spending a small fortune?

Bring in the “wild boys” from Wild Group.  Let them wrap your yacht in vinyl and foil.

 

COST-EFFECTIVE VINYL

Wild Group is a vinyl yacht finishing company dedicated to the superyacht industry.  They wrap the entire exterior in foil and vinyl for a fraction of the cost of repainting.  Wrap alterings the look and color of the vessel.  It is also a protective skin that reduces scratches and fouling from wear and tear at sea.

Proteksan Turquoise motor yacht TURQUOISE  is a vessel with a complete hull transformation done by Wild Group.  They completed a full hull wrap, and black wrap on house sides for the 55.40 meter yacht in Port Denia, near Alicante, Spain.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO WRAP A YACHT?

The TURQUOISE project was finished in time for the yacht to reposition on schedule to the Caribbean.  She was in place for the St Martin yacht charter winter season, December 2015 through April 2016.

GREAT WRAP, SO DO IT AGAIN

This was actually the second time Wild Group worked on the yacht.  They originally wrapped the yacht superstructure overhangs in Matterhorn White.  The paint had become dull due to constant exposure to the sun, so the wrap saved the day.  The success of this super structure project led the yacht owner and captain to decide to wrap the hull.  They also decided on a color change, from white to gun-metal gray, this time.

 

OTHER WRAP USES

The Wild Group also wraps pool linings, interiors, and window foils for privacy and heat control. Monaco yacht charter vessel LAUREN L had foil applied to 120 windows. The project took place in Sardinia.  It was completed between Italy yacht charter bookings – amazingly, in just six days.  Almost immediately, the crew of M/Y LAUREN L reported the air conditioning system was working more efficiently and interior temperatures were lower.

 

COMPANY PRESIDENT COMMENTS

Jana Sheeder, Co-Owner and President of 1-800 Yacht Charters, applauded the owner of motoryacht Lauren L for taking such an eco-friendly move in saving fuel for yacht charter guests by tinting all 120 windows.

“What a forward-thinking project to intiate!  I hope that other superyacht owners take advantage of the same technology to benefit the yacht, guests, crew, and the environment in this way.”

 

OTHER YACHT WRAPS

Of course, catering to superyacht owners sometimes means working on the owner’s “other” boats, no matter the size.  Formula 1’s Eddie Jordan loved the color of his Sunseeker 155 yacht BLUSH.  Mr. Jordan then wrapped the hull of his very first boat – a small Sunseeker Mohawk 29.  The team color-matched the wrap to the same paint scheme on motor yacht BLUSH. They used premium quality Färben brand foils.  They also wrapped the superstructure with a white application, including non-slip wraps to the foredeck.  Using a unique designer twist, they created a leather effect to the interior to give it a clean, refreshed look.

READY TO WRAP YOUR YACHT OR VEHICLE?

Why not book a yacht charter on a superyacht that’s been wrapped so that you can experience the wrap firsthand to decide.  ‘Try it before you buy it.”
