Southampton based Discovery Yachts has sold the latest Discovery 67 to be built to a new charter company which has been launched as Discovery Yacht Charters. The yacht, “More Magic”, will operate in the Caribbean and Mediterranean with its first voyage planned as the 2010 ARC from the Canaries to St Lucia. “More Magic” will return to the Mediterranean next spring and will be available for charter there from May to September 2011.
The yacht has an ideal layout for the charter guests offering 3 double cabins, all with ensuite facilities, and separate crew quarters for the skipper and hostess. Air conditioning and the latest entertainment systems ensure life aboard provides the outstanding levels of luxury for which the Discovery 67 is renowned.
Discovery 67 Sailing Yacht:
Building on the superb reputation and Ron Holland design of the renowned Discovery 55, the Discovery 67 is even more spacious and luxurious, balancing classic design with contemporary function. With fine and elegant accommodation for up to nine she provides an even greater level of comfort and luxury and is perfect for crewed yachting and corporate entertainment.
Nigel Stuart, Managing Director of Discovery Yachts commented, “The new charter company is totally independent of Discovery Yachts and run by the owners of this Discovery 67. “More Magic” will be delivered from the factory straight to the Southampton Boat Show before she sets sail to the Caribbean for her first charter. Visitors to the Southampton Boat Show will also be welcome to board our new Discovery 55 which will be moored alongside in the show Marina.”
Discovery Yachts can be seen at the Southampton Boat Show on berth 501 and 504.
