Feadship Launches Largest Yacht Ever – For Paul Allen?

Question to ask is whether the vessel will be available to charter, there are doubts.

A Special Report on Super Yachts

There are other ways to enjoy a yachting vacation. For instance, you can always charter. Though most of the biggest and most renowned vessels are not available to the hoi poloi, there are hundreds of boats available from reputable yacht brokers like Edmiston, Camper and Nicholson’s, Burgess, and others. Cain says that charters are strong. “The charter business fell 30 percent off the boom years, but since has come right back.”
As quoted from Yachting Intelligence

Special Report: Super Yachts

The Cost of Day Charters on the Coast

Continue from:

• Beverages for your guests; some beverages like tea & coffee may be provided or even a glass of champagne, depending on the type of charter, as included in the hire. Most hires will offer a bar tab on consumption arrangement or a per head package for the duration of the cruise (depending on the vessel's license arrangements).
• Relocation Fee in some cases; in the instance that the vessel is to pick up and drop of in a location that the vessel is not based.
• In some cases, if you require the vessel to pick up and drop off at a location that the vessel is not based, a berthing fee may be required.
• There may be some additional charges including; decorating, additional wait staff, public holiday surcharges, BYO surcharges (if allowed by the Operator), bond (in very few cases), entertainment & some onboard activities.
• To help us assist you with your enquiry, it is suggested that it will benefit you the most if you have an idea of the budget you have to work with, even if it is only a per head total amount.

Day Chartering Costs

What you will expect to pay when you book a private day charter for your corporate event?

To charter a vessel privately (exclusively) for your function only on a day basis (minimum 3 to 6 hour stretches), you would expect to pay:

• Hire fee, usually quoted on an hourly basis. This gives you sole use of the vessel for your private function, and generally includes the hire of the skipper and some crew. You would expect to pay minimum $500 per hour to hire a vessel privately here on the Gold Coast, depending on the size of the party.
• Catering for your function, usually quoted on a per head basis. Finger food can start at $25 per head, up to sit down a la carte silver service at $100 per head or more. If you are looking for something specific in the catering, you can expect that this will be quoted separately and pricing subject to your requirements.

We are placed right in the heart of the marine village and exhibition halls are starting to emerge out of nowhere. What used to be a lunching area now contains forklifts, tents, fluoro tops and lots of steel.

It happens every year, parking gets strained, roads get cut off & more trucks arrive but the good news is that business booms and excitement grows.

If you are finding it hard to locate us amongst the development, take a note of where we are and
Find us on Google Maps

We look forward to seeing you at the Boat Show in 13 days, located in the Nautical Matters store in front of Georges Seafood.

Whitsundays in Style

The luxury cruiser DescaradA offers a really gorgeous way to explore the Whitsunday Islands and the surrounding waters, with the opportunity to discover uninhabited areas where resort holiday makers cannot get to on normal day trips from the hotels. We also have a great variety of activities within the itinerary (snorkelling, jet skis, kayaks, speed boat) and fantastic food – all included in our cruise and charter rates. Crew of three take care of the service so you can get settled into a perfect holiday atmosphere.

We can pick up from Hamilton Island at no additional cost, however, we will need to confirm this closer based on other bookings that may depart from Airlie Beach (or Hamilton Island). From Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne you can fly directly to Hamilton Island, from where you should take a ferry to come over to the mainland side in Airlie Beach. The other option would be flying via Brisbane to the mainland airport Proserpine (Whitsundays Coast) from where it is only half-an-hour drive to Airlie Beach, the departure point of all scheduled Cruises. Please enquire about a brochure and itineraries or ask for further information.

Coast set for $2.5 billion super terminal

As reported by Lucy Ardern April 13th, 2010 in the Gold Coast News Bulletin

THE State Government is expected to tick off on a $2.5 billion superyacht terminal and marine precinct for The Spit after years of delays on plans for the area.

This means for Luxury Charter Yacht more superyachts and therefore more charter vessels available.
