PARISIAN SUMMER ON 'WONDERLAND'

Here is something different, something quite special for you:

Paris, with its historic buildings, streets and landmarks, stands as a witness to centuries of history, art, and culture. Excitingly, in 2024, it will also host the Olympic and Para-Olympic games. And now you can see the city from a new angle, on board your own private, luxury barge, WONDERLAND.

Embark in Paris and explore the city before heading off along the country’s canals and rivers to either the Champagne region or to Normandy, cruising through the vineyards, quaint villages, and shifting landscapes of the country.

WONDERLAND is an impeccably presented barge, designed to the highest standards and based in Paris. This barge has managed to do something rather unusual; strike a good balance between high standards of luxury and a feeling of homeliness.

WONDERLAND will be based in Paris from 9 June until 5 August 2024.

This creates a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those attending the Paris 2024 Olympics to stay onboard or for those who simply want to explore Paris in a very different and original way.

More about the barge, accommodation, itineraries and prices you can find on:

The Caribbean Yacht Shows have an excellent vibe about them. This is where the whole behind-the-scenes thing comes together in a rather celebratory way. It’s a celebration of talent, effort, kindness and support. Another aspect of why I love my job. 
Over time, we’ll talk about yachts and their amazing crews, many of whom we promote with great enthusiasm. Catamaran ATLAS is one of them. This is a Bali 5.4 with Brynn and Rosie as the crew. We were so lucky to be invited to Rosie’s lunch during the show and it was fantastic! My notes say:
 
* SO organised
* Excellent food and wine pairing skills
* Sustainability conscious
* Welcoming, kind, perceptive
* Great at setting the vibe
* Brynn is a mixologist and his welcome drink was so refreshing and light
* The catamarans feels great and smells delicious
* Points: 10/10

.co has published a great article by Naomi Snelling, featuring our MD and her views on yachting industry trends:

‘Life On an Ocean Wave (Kept Afloat by Sea of Banknotes)’

The founder and director of High Point Yachting, Sasha King, grew up in the yachting hotspot of Croatia. She spent many summers cruising around the Adriatic with her friends before moving to the UK and starting her bespoke chartering business. King has seen the industry evolve: “(B)oats became more and more sophisticated, new brands were formed, especially in the crewed-yachts charter industry and with superyachts.

“There are some incredibly sophisticated yachts out there, with technology to match. But a boat does not have to be over a certain size in order to offer an incredible experience.”

Today, King believes that sustainability should be one of the priorities. “The challenge is educating ourselves on … how we can protect the environment, and educating the crews and the clients too.”

‘Come holiday or high water’, by in on experimental travel, features some of the best yacht charters in 2023, offering intrepid travellers access to hard-to-reach destinations or once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

, founder of High Point Yachting was quoted:

‘Experiential trends are about getting to the heart of things and places that make us feel good and expand our interests. We recently booked a client on a heli-skiing expedition to Greenland by explorer yacht (with a heli-pad), accompanied by world champion and Olympic gold-medal skier Bode Miller. Also in high demand is kite surfing by superyacht. Being able to launch off the boat makes it more memorable. Specialised voyages are never black and white—it’s about what shade of grey the client wants.’

Our colleague Eva has just published a blog about her time on the beautiful yacht (see link in bio)
This is a yacht that has it all and we shout about it with great confidence.

What does it take for a charter to be a great success?

👉 Professional, dedicated, happy crew that love their job. Captain Jure is larger than life. A kind man, full of vigour and wit, with an extraordinary knowledge of the area and a welcoming smile and demeanour. His crew matches that perfectly.

👉 Excellent chef on board, versatile, ambitious, arty and in love with nature. Chef Luka is very talented, he loves showing the guests authentic Croatian dishes, too, and is a wonderful artist.

👉 Beautifully maintained yacht, well matched with what the client is looking for. Corsario is extremely versatile and particularly popular with families.

👉 Extraordinary destination. Croatia is certainly that!

This is a yacht with a difference, one that combines the elegance of a traditional build with modern luxury. One that offers all the above and more …

Corsario should be on everyone’s wish list! It’s a dream come true.
