EDMISTON LAUNCHES THE E100 – ONE HUNDRED OF THE BEST YACHTS AVAILABLE FOR CHARTER WORLDWIDE

Edmiston sees stronger 2013 ahead with marked increase in charter enquiries

Superyachts specialist Edmiston has unveiled the E100 – what it believes to be the ultimate list of the 100 best yachts in the world available for charter.

The list, created by Edmiston’s top experts in Europe, Asia, the USA, Australia and South America, includes the yachts that will help to make a perfect holiday for those wanting to charter the best on the market. The criteria includes not only the yacht itself – perhaps a large motor, sportster or sailing yacht – but also the quality of the captain, chef and crew; amount of indoor and deck space as well as the size of the cabins; and extras such as sports equipment or entertainment onboard.

The most popular destinations in 2013 for charter look set to be the south of France, the Amalfi Coast, Croatia and southern Turkey.

Among the featured 100 best yachts in the world are:

TV – a giant 79-metre yacht that has a master suite occupying the entire upper deck. Features include a 20-metre waterslide, health and beauty spa, a double-sided swim-up bar and a 70-knot Cougar racing tender. Sleeps 12 people from €850,000 per week.

Pegaso – the yacht with the ultimate accessory: a five-person submarine with state-of-the-art imaging and communication links with the mother ship. Pegaso was built for serious sub-sea adventures. Also includes an onboard beach club and spa, cinema, outdoor gym and trampoline. Sleeps 12 people from €525,000 per week. Perfect for the Pacific.

Lady Britt – Indoor and outdoor cinemas, a wellness spa with qualified Elemis beautician, Finnish sauna, and the Michelin-starred onboard chef, complete with his 40-flavour ice-cream dream fridge) make this a compelling yacht for anyone chartering.
