August, 2020

I wanted to organise something for my husband's 50th later in August but then we decided to go sooner, impromptu, as the weather in London is simply calling for a boat trip! Crew and Captain were very friendly and professional, yet at a distance as one expects from a 5-star service on a yacht. As an extra we had an amazing meal prepared from scratch on board by one of Gaucho restaurants top Chefs - very nice day which turned into a magical evening!

This is a terrific charter. A perfect boat for sightseeing (I'd say 5 is about the max unless you have kids) and a well trained, very professional crew to ensure you have an amazing time on the water. Highly recommend!

Great thing to do in London!! Especially in a pandemic or if you want privacy and space from people but want to see things...

Booked and paid last minute! What an unexpected beautiful experience - thank you Captain!

Yacht Charter Destinations

Bespoke Yacht Charter is a company that provides luxury yacht charters to destinations all over the world. Our yacht brokers have extensive knowledge of all the popular spots in the Mediterranean, such as the French Riviera, Corsica, Sardinia, Portofino, the Amalfi Coast, Sicily, Ibiza, Mallorca, Croatia, and the Greek Islands. We also enjoy introducing our clients to some lesser-known destinations around the world. Please take a look at some of the charter destinations we offer below.

Amalfi Coast Yacht Charter

The Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana), the stretch of coastline south of Naples in the Campania region of Italy that includes the picturesque towns of Positano, Praiano and Amalfi, is an exceptional luxury yacht charter destination with a mild climate, towns teetering on vertical cliffs, lemon and olive groves peppering the terraced hillsides and beautiful beaches reached only by private yacht.

Antibes Yacht Charter

The City of Antibes is conveniently tucked between Nice and Cannes, on the Côte d’Azur coastline, but it is certainly far from being obscure, and definitely not hidden!

Balearic Islands Yacht Charter

The Balearic Islands have always been popular as a yacht charter destination, well known for a sunny climate, spectacular beaches, nature parks, nightlife and archaeological ruins.

Beaulieu-sur-Mer Yacht Charter

Beaulieu-sur-Mer, or quite literally beautiful place by the sea, lies in a very privileged position between Nice and Monaco.

Brac Yacht Charter

Carpeted with silver-green olive trees and Aleppo pines, the mountainous island of Brac rises out of the Adriatic like a rugged jewel. Colourful fishing boats tie up at pretty harbours, shaded by exotic palms and Renaissance buildings carved from the dazzling white limestone of Brac, most famously used in the construction of America’s White House.

Superyacht abandoned by a Russian fertilizer billionaire has a new secret owner, who got it for a huge discount

The Alfa Nero superyacht, which has been abandoned in the Caribbean for more than two years, has a new owner.

The 267-foot (81-meter) vessel, complete with a baby grand piano and a swimming pool that turns into a helipad, sold for $40 million last week, said Ronald Sanders, Antigua and Barbuda’s ambassador to the US. He declined to name the buyer, citing a confidentiality agreement.

The sale marks the latest attempt to end the years-long Alfa Nero saga. A Russian oligarch abandoned the luxury yacht in Antigua in March 2022, after being sanctioned by the US Treasury. Then tech billionaire Eric Schmidt tried buying it at auction, only to  give up  when the sale became a legal quagmire. 

Meanwhile, the vessel sat in Antigua’s Falmouth Harbour being tended to by a skeleton crew and costing over a $100,000 a month to maintain.

At $40 million, the new Alfa Nero owner will end up paying far less than the $67.6 million that Schmidt, a former Google CEO, had offered last year. Sanctioned Russian fertilizer billionaire Andrey Guryev had originally bought the Alfa Nero in 2014 for $120 million, the US Treasury Department said — which Guryev denies. 

His daughter, Yulia Gurieva-Motlokhov, later stepped forward to claim ownership of the yacht, triggering a legal dispute.

“It’s not worth 40 million, it’s worth way more,” said Richard Higgins, a broker with Northrop & Johnson who represented the undisclosed buyer. “They needed to get the boat sold.”

Higgins said the new owner is European and will likely put the Alfa Nero on the charter market.

The Alfa Nero is among more than a dozen superyachts pinned down in ports around the globe after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 brought a series of economic sanctions against Russian oligarchs. Many of the vessels have been stuck in limbo amid costly legal disputes and racking up maintenance costs.

The Phi superyacht has been moored in London since 2022 while other vessels are stuck in Italy and Spain. There’s also the Amadea, a 348-foot ship with a lobster tank and hand-painted clouds on the dining-room ceiling, which was seized from its alleged oligarch owner in Fiji and now sits in California. Last month, a New York court denied the US government’s request to sell the Amadea, Voice of America  reported .

Alfa Nero’s new owner “is not included in the sanctions list of any country or institution,” Ambassador Sanders said.

The latest attempt to sell the Alfa Nero was brokered through a private contract, the port manager, Darwin Telemaque, said in a phone call. He also declined to name the buyer. Telemaque expects the proceeds will cover the millions of dollars in port fees the Alfa Nero has racked up.

“I am very happy that the ship is no longer the responsibility of the people and the government of Antigua and Barbuda,” he said.

Para Bellum to be chartered out on short-term deals

Greek tanker owner Top Ships has branched out into a new charter market: luxury yachts.

The US-listed owner of eight modern crude and product vessels said a wholly owned subsidiary is paying $20m to buy a “megayacht” from an affiliate of chief executive Evangelos Pistiolis, whose family is also the controlling shareholder.

The 47-metre Para Bellum was built last year at Sanlorenzo Yachts in Italy and has capacity for 12 guests and a crew of 10.
