With new woodwork throughout, the yacht is pristine with gleaming varnish and new paint. We like the interior decor with plush furniture on the aft deck for many relaxing hours and meals in this lovely area. We have known the crew for years from other charter yachts and are very pleased that they are on board. At $13,000/week plus expenses and crew gratuity, this is a great yacht to consider for charter this summer in New England.

Dining on Galaxy

We have known Captain Dughall and Poppie for a number of years as they were previously on the charter yacht Talon and always created a great charter experience. Coupled with Chef Hamish, and 10 other crew, the food and service is top notch.

Following is the crew profile for Chef Hamish:

Head Chef Hamish Watson
New Zealand

Hamish is an exceptional Chef; his food is of the very highest standards. He is a fully qualified and experienced London City and Guilds Chef. Amongst his qualifications he has won several awards including NZ South Island Chef of the Year Award, and he came 4th in the Chain des Rotisserie World Championships in South Africa. Hamish is calm, organized, and is a popular crew member. He has travelled many places including Africa where he trekked through the forests to spend time with giant gorillas. He is adventurous and loves his sport. Hamish is a New Zealander and loves to spend time at home with his family and friends.

When we were on board today, Hamish had made Truffled Egg Custards served inside the hollowed shell of an egg perched in an egg carton. Not only was the presentation fun and very inventive, but the Truffled Egg Custard was terrific, with a light consistency that melted on your tongue. This could be a very hard charter experience to pass up, if you are thinking about a charter in the Western Mediterranean for this coming summer.

View of Lionshare's Aft Deck

Lionshare is offered for USD 125,000/week for July and August and USD 110,000/week for June and September. This pricing is for the yacht and crew, and in addition are all expenses and crew gratuity. There are five guest staterooms on board, each with ensuite bathroom, so comfortable for 10 guests. Lionshare is located for charter in the south of France, but will travel anywhere for an extra positioning fee for charter in the Western or Eastern Mediterranean as they are very interested in charter this coming summer. With lots of water toys on board and a great sundeck, this is a yacht to consider with a great charter pricing.

We first met Alberto in the early 1990's when he was the Captain of a 90' powerboat in located for charter out of San Remo, Italy. Alberto had worked with others to bring that motor yacht and several others to French Polynesia to the Society Islands for charter. Sadly the yacht sold before it could be brought to the Society Islands; however Alberto returned and stayed home for a number of years.


A Vanilla Plantation in Tahaa

In Tahaa, Alberto has both a Black Pearl Farm and a Vanilla Farm, manned by his family and local workers. Five years ago, he left Tahaa and returned to the yachting world and has been working since as a Yacht Captain. Alberto showed us his personal vanilla bean stash on board Impulsive, which he keeps in a humidity controlled locker.

Charter guests enjoy a little extra on board Impulsive, such as vanilla bean coffee made with vanilla infused from Alberto's home grown vanilla bean pods from his vanilla plantation in Tahaa. You never know when you charter a yacht, what other great adventures and experiences you will encounter. Charter Impulsive, and be served true vanilla bean sorbet made from Captain Alberto's vanilla bean pods.

The world is truly your oyster, which is made ever apparent in the mobile and international world of yachting and yacht charter.

Seaflower's Dining Room

Chef Malin has been in the yachting industry for four years. Her cuisine is Asian continental, light and well flavored.

Our lunch today started with:
Mille Feuille with Char Grilled Vegetables with a Lemon and Rosemary scented Feta Cheese Cream
This was nicely presented with ringed with fresh herbs and was a nice light starter.

The main course followed with:
Fillet of Dorade on a Fresh Herb Bed with Grilled Mini Asparagus, and Roasted Fennel and Parma Ham Bundles with a Lemon Tarragon Sauce
The fish was very nicely prepared with a salt herb crust that melted into the fish. Served with the fish was a nice dry rose wine.

The dessert was outstanding:
Semi Freddie with Honey and Pistachio Nuts served with Crunchy Praline

And of course after, we had cappuccinos and chocolates. Any charter guest will be very happy both with the yacht and the cuisine while on board. We were very pleased that this yacht has entered the charter marketplace.

Motor Yacht NATORI

With exterior styling by Francesco Paszowski and interior design by Bannenberg, this new avant garde build is distinctive and very well done. With 5 guest staterooms for accommodations for up to 10 guests, Natori boasts a full width on deck master suite, with white gold leaf tiling, suggesting the silvery flash of swimming fish. Both the main and sun lounge deck have huge windows in the salon and lounge areas providing a very light and airy interior with modern touches. And of course on the top sun deck is a large Jacuzzi with ample sunning area, a bar and comfortable seating area.


NATORI

As a new build, this yacht has all of the latest technology with Wifi on every deck, Vsat, sky television and the ability the Newspaper Printer software that can access any worldwide newspaper, download and print for the guests interest. A large selection of water toys rounds out the package for a fun filled charter vacation.

The yacht will be in the Western Mediterranean this summer and charters for Euro 135,000/week in June and September and euro 150,000/week in July and August, plus all expenses and crew gratuity.

Lady Sheridan

We were particularly pleased with Lady Sheridan, a 190' Abeking and Rasmussen power boat just launched last year. Sleeping twelve guests on board, in six guest staterooms, five of which have king sized beds, Lady Sheridan is a perfect choice for charter this coming season in the Caribbean. Lady Sheridan won the "Best Boat in Show" award, which says it all.


Va Bene

The Chef on board Va Bene, a 156' Custom mega powerboat, won first place in the Chef's Competition for Mega Yachts over 40 meters at the show. This yacht was built in 1992, and is very well maintained, having just had a major refit last winter. One of the only yachts built before 2000 with zero speed stabilizers, Va Bene is very comfortable on anchor. Va Bene is well known in the Eastern Mediterranean especially in Croatia during the summer months and sleeps twelve guests in 6 guest staterooms, all with ensuite heads.


Namoh

The Chef on Namoh, 125' Cheoy Lee, placed first in the Chef's Competition and first in "Best Crew Service, Ambiance and Table Setting" for the Mega Yachts 40 meters and smaller. This can only make you look forward to chartering this yacht if just to have a meal on board. Comfortable for up to ten guests in five guest staterooms, Captain Greg Russell looks forward to welcoming guests on board for yacht charter this winter in the Caribbean.


Tuscan Sun

And as always, we were very pleased to see Tuscan Sun, the 147' Izar launched in 2006and chartering for twelve guests in 6 guest staterooms. Captain Gui Garcia, and his wife Christina Jones-Garcia, the Chef, along with seven other crew create a very welcoming ambiance on board, and serve great food. Christina is a graduate of the California Culinary Institute and received her degree as a Certified Chef. A charter on board is always a wonderful experience.
