So, gentlemen, if you’re looking for something new to try this summer, start by chartering one of these beauties…
Thumper at sea
Any Sunseeker is a guaranteed beauty; a piece of art that will elevate your status as a gentleman the moment you step on board.

Practicalities aside, a yacht such as this is only going to be complete with the right amount of onboard entertainment and luxury amenities, and as well as having every possible facility a gentleman could need onboard, it also comes equipped with paddle boards, donuts, waterskis and wind surfs, to name but a few.

Oscar II
Mangusta are the very definition of slick, modern design and their yachts would look just as perfectly placed in a new Bond movie as they would along the French Riviera. These yachts have the ability to sit perfectly wherever they’re placed, no matter where that might be. Luxurious, spacious and modern; Mangusta know how to get it right.
She travels quickly, too, at a cruising speed of 31 knots and a maximum of 35 knots.
Although Oscar II has only three cabins rather than the standard four, space isn’t certainly isn’t an issue. The design has made up for this lower count, keeping space at an optimum and luxury at the top of the priority list. Decoration, tastefulness and a true gentlemanly style are reflected in their entirety across this incredible piece of modernity.
