New Year’s Eve in St Vincent and the Grenadines

British Virgin Islands Yacht Charter Yacht Charter British Virgin Islands British Virgin Islands Yacht Rentals British Virgin Islands Superyacht Charter

Looking to ring in the New Year in the most luxurious setting? How about celebrating the start of 2021 with a rum cocktail in hand, on a sandy-white beach? Book a charter yacht to the incredible St Vincent and the Grenadines and bring in the New Year in style!

Part of the stunning Caribbean, St Vincent and the Grenadines is known for its beautiful volcanic landscapes, sophisticated harbours and chic private isles. A popular sailing and cruising destination, thanks to the reef-lined Bequia Islands and white powdered beaches, the region transforms into a real party-centre during New Year’s Eve.

Spend the days in the run-up to the big eve in complete relaxation on one of the many beaches found in St Vincent and the Grenadines and its unique neighbouring islands. Indulge in some local slow-roasted suckling pig while sunbathing before trying your hand at deep-sea fishing. Explore one of the many wrecks or see how much tropical fish you can spot while coral reef snorkelling. In the evenings, head to one of the famous beach clubs and enjoy cocktail hour before watching the spectacular sunset from the deck of your private charter yacht.

For the big night, either visit the capital of Kingstown and bring in the New Year in style at one of the local clubs. Or pay a visit to Bequia Island, which is known for hosting some of the most incredible firework displays. Wander through the town, admiring the many seasonal market stalls before heading back to your yacht and enjoying a fantastic dinner followed by your own private yacht party. Watching the fireworks go off as the clock strikes midnight from the deck of your charter yacht.

When spending New Year’s Eve in St Vincent and the Grenadines, this smaller but unforgettable region truly will be your oyster.

TWW concludes a very successful open day in Monaco

TWW were the proud hosts of an open day for two of the yachts we have for sale yesterday at the Yacht Club de Monaco. The mighty 49.9m GAZZELLA II and the elegant 52m Prana. Brokers from around the world were invited to tour these two high profile superyachts to find buyers.

Prana

From the design board of the late Ed Dubois the 52m sailing yacht Prana was delivered by Alloy Yachts in New Zealand in 2006. A thoroughbred in every respect she is as comfortable as she is fast as would be equally at home on a cruise to remote areas of the world or racing in the St Barths Bucket or a leisurely cruise in the Mediterranean. Regularly exceeding the wind speed under sail she is a prized performer and has recently fully refitted making her turn-key for a new owner. She has exquisite accommodation in 5 staterooms for 10-12 guests.

GAZZELLA II

A yacht with huge volume for her size she is reputedly by gross tonnage the second-largest yacht under 50m in the world. Launched by Codecasa in 2015 this impressive yacht turns heads wherever she goes, and Monaco was no exception. Being VAT paid ensures a new owner can keep and use her in Europe as a private yacht – although her layout also would make her highly attractive on the charter market. Guest accommodation is for 12 including a full beam owner’s suite on the main deck with “his and hers” bathrooms and private office as well as an adjacent suite – features seldom found on yachts of this size. Below are four similar and spacious guest suites. Day areas include a huge sundeck saloon and plenty of outdoor areas including a vast sundeck with forward-facing spa and jacuzzi.
