It’s nearly time. In a matter of weeks you’ll be sat at the Bar of the Hotel Splendino, Martini in one hand and cigar in the other. Just one problem though. You haven’t got that all important charter. Don’t worry though, with our selection of the three hottest charters this week, we’ve got your back covered.
Talitha , , Prepare to cruise back to a lost world of style and glamour. Launched in 1929, this 80m yacht underwent a complete refit in 2000. This has allowed a carefully restored interior to be incorporated around the best of modern technology. With a high summer charge of $428,000 a week, 6 cabins and a 12 person guest capacity, no other yacht provides such a high level of comfort and luxury. If you were to get bored however, the onboard toy cupboard of wave runners, surf ski’s, lasers and hydrofoils will provide more than enough distractions.

Lauren L, , At 295 ft, and at a cost of $950, 232 a week, this is certainly a charter for someone who want to makes a statement. Built by Casserns Werst and styled by Alpha Marine, this yacht enjoys one of the most sumptuous interiors for any available charter, with polished oak wood panel interiors as well as an onboard gym, cinema, playroom and spa. The fun doesn’t stop there though. With an onboard toy cupboard of speedboats, scuba gear, sea bobs and dingy’s, you won’t be bored for a moment. With the very in navigation technology, Lauren L has a maximum speed of 15.5kts from two 1850KW engines. With 20 cabins and a capacity of 40, this the charter for anyone who wants to be surrounded by people they love this summer.

Scheherazade, , A deep, sweeping hull and sharp, elevated transom combine to create one of the most eye catching charters currently available. At 47m, her slender composite hull allows for a speed of 14kts and range of 3000nm. However, beneath the speed and size lies a sophisticated edge. Designed by Bruce King and with furniture and fittings from Andrew Winch, Scheherazade is a beautiful synthesis of classic design and modern engineering. With handcrafted sycamore engravings and furniture, Scheherazade is one of the very best charters available this summer.
