Monday, July 4th, 2011

The Mirabella V was spotted off the coast of St. George in the Caribbean earlier this week. The town was abuzz as locals and tourists gathered around to catch a glimpse of the world’s largest single-masted yacht, measuring 247 feet long. The mast of the ship reaches 292 feet above water level. Mirabella V was launched in November 2003 and sold for $50 million. She was part of a fleet owned by the CEO of Avis car rental company, Joe Vittoria. Mirabella V was formerly used as a luxury yacht charter that cost $250,000 per week. Today she is privately owned and operated.

The ship features a 20-person Jacuzzi, spacious dining room, surround sound theater, gym with sauna and TVs, and a garage holding jet skis, ski boats, kayaks and other sea toys. The six guest cabins can hold up to twelve people, plus a full width master suite on the main deck.

Panama Marina Offers Scenic Hurricane Contingency Plan

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

Panama is recognized as an international hub for the boating community, with many cruisers drawn to the mild climate, unique flora and proximity to the United States and the Caribbean.  But it’s not the mangrove coves, beautiful beaches or natural ecology that most attracts visitors during the hot summer months, but rather its’ fortunate location. Positioned just outside of the hurricane belt, Panama provides yachts from all over the world a shelter from the storm.

Red Frog Marina, nestled in the Caribbean islands of Bocas Del Toro, offers dockage for yachts from June through November, during the height of hurricane season.  The marina is known for calm waters that reach depths of over 25 feet.  With less than an 18-inch tidal change, the waters are naturally protected on the southern side of Isla Bastimentos, giving yacht owners peace of mind away from the threat of turbulent weather.

The Red Frog Marina has a sophisticated floating dock system able to accommodate any vessel.  Boats up to 193 feet may dock along the 250-meter walkway, taking in picturesque views of Panama’s mangroves and beaches.  The marina ensures their visitors are comfortable when riding out hurricane season.  Not only do guests have access to gorgeous beaches, resort amenities and marine services, but the marina also offers practical assistance like complimentary water-taxi services, a workshop for equipment repair and dockside power and water.

Also available are multiple hiking trails, snorkeling spots and scuba sites to entertain land-bound cruisers.  The ubiquitous mangroves are not only scenic, but also provide significant shelter from hurricane-force winds and strong storms, resulting in the smooth, glassy water that draws Red Frog Marina’s international guests.

Atlantic Yacht and Ship is your premier yacht broker in Fort Lauderdale.  We have served the South Florida community for over 50 years.  If you are in the market for used boats or yachts for sale, check out our listings today!

Destination: Grenada, The Spice of the Caribbean!

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

Winter Solstice is coming up and if you’re looking for a warmer place to escape for the holidays, the Caribbean islands could be just the perfect location! Whether you wish to charter a yacht or take your own boat out, the Caribbean islands welcome you with a warm, tropical escape. This week, we highlight the south Caribbean islands of Grenada and the neighboring Grenadines. The new Port Louis Marina near St. George, the capital of Grenada, is a huge draw for superyachts. With 160 slips for yachts up to 300 feet, the marina is located below the hurricane belt and offers a safe and welcome place for yachts.

The island of Grenada has an international airport just ten minutes from the capital. The island is English speaking, with no traffic jams and little crime. All the hotels on Grenada were developed not to exceed the height of the palm trees in order to preserve the natural look of the island and to offer unobstructed views of the scenery. There are plenty of natural wonders to explore including spectacular waterfalls, rainforests, rivers, wreck diving and pristine Caribbean beaches.

Grenada is nicknamed the Spice of the Caribbean for its soil and climate that’s perfect for growing spices, making the country one of the world’s largest producers of nutmeg and mace. Herbs and spices make their way into the local cuisine, which consists of spiced meats and fish with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.
