Friend of mine is coming up to his 50th and wants to splash out.

Looking for:-
1 day charter of Sunnysqueeker Manhatten/ F'line squaddie or similar for 20 guests including full hospitality etc

Location South coast UK or Antibes

suggestions?

Friend of mine chartered this boat Grand Lady
Based in Torquay. We had a great day and not as expensive as you might think.

I'm not sure a squaddie will take 20 guests plus crew, maybe just on a 74.

Hi was this the boat on t v a couple of weeks ago being rescued by the rnli having lost it's anchor,hope they got a new anchor&chain mm1

Well i have a squad 58 in Antibes. berthed on the fabulous Mole Sud, with captain and stewardess. 2004 boat, full refit this winter so like new. €3000/day, forum rate €2500.

Thing is, virtually no boats are licensed for >12, not even 80m superyachts at €50,000 a day. Getting coding for >12pax requires a wole load of engineering that usually isn't feasible/desirable. There are just a few licensed for 36, but they are in the €50,000 day bracket.

Mine is licensed for 12 guests + 2 crew

This 12pax limit applies at sea. It is ok to have >12 when tied to the quay

Edit: maybe best answer is charter my Sq58 AND houghn's P57, as both are coded. They are moored side-by-side on Mole Sud in Antibes so you can have one party, and you can split your party into 2 groups for the passages then tie the boats together at anchor so again you have one party

I know of a bloke who is chartering this http://www.seadreamyachtclub.com/ for a 50th with 80 guests. How rich must he be!!

Seafin (Solent based) will take up to 30, but I suspect she's not quite what your mate has in mind.

Has he tried Sunseeker Charters? They should have all the answers so far as Squeakers are concerned. I think you can charter Eddie Irvine's "Snapper" via them /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif.

 

[jfm]

Yep but all coded squeakers are 12 guests. No squeaker has ever been coded to the next category for >12 guests. The cheapest way to get 24 guests and still have "one party" is to rent 2 near identical boats which are moored literally side by side. Preferably in a premium location like antibes south side. (Sorry for the (re) plug but I don't plug charters much on here so I thought I'd make up for lost time /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

Many thanks to all, will be discussing with him later.

He's not the one that has just cancelled?

 

[pissativlypossed]

Thats the one!

We have recently coded a Motorcat 30 for bareboat charter in the Solent if that is of interest. We expect to run RYA powerboat courses in due course. www.motorcats.com

Brilliant idea! Please send us the photo of 20 guests on a motorcat

20 guests plus crew (he said full hospitality) on a 30foot boat? They could take it in turns I suppose Seriously, how many folks is the motorcat coded for?

 

[hobiecat]

Sorry did not read thread properly. Coded for 5 - really more suited for a family charter. 20 person corporate would be extremely cosy but has been used as a photo boat/runaround in place of a rib for large scale corporate work.

 

[SpiderDiver]

We can do 12 + 3 crew Tico on FP 44' power cat in Torquay if he wants South Coast - equiv. deck and flybridge space to 55/60 footer and much less rolly of course! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Usually do Torquay - Dartmouth - Salcombe on day charter with full catering of course. PM me for prices if interested.

"Is this the boat" etc.
Wouldn't be surprised as I note that their "specification" page says that they can charter from Leamington. They'd have a hell of a job getting her up the R. Avon, let alone then up the Leam /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Their publicity blurb must have been written by someone at IPC /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Had a party of 23 once, mind it was pouring rain, reacon 50 60 at least. Course I want full hospitality, wats on offer.

Yes but happened last last summer I thought in Falmouth - chain broke during night and ended up on the rocks. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif Was out of service for several months.
