Ready for Diversion?

The Oxford English dictionary defines the word diversion as follows;

“ • noun 1 an instance of diverting. 2 Brit. an alternative route for use when the usual road is closed. 3 something intended to distract attention. 4 a recreation or pastime.”  

M/Y Diversion’s name was chosen carefully and is suitably fitting to reflect an atmosphere and a way of life that makes this charter yacht the obvious choice for those who enjoy living life to the full.

Mediterranean Luxury Yacht Charter starts here with motor yacht Diversion.  She is a high speed stylish 80ft Baia Open offering her charter guests the luxury of reaching their favourite hotspots in the South of France quickly, without compromising their comfort. 

As an example, Antibes to St Tropez can be done in just under an hour leaving plenty of time for charter guests to enjoy the day at one of the world famous Pampelone Beach restaurants.  Powered by two V16 2000 MTU engines, she can reach a top speed of 44 knots and cruises at 32 knots.  Her distinct rooster tail is quite impressive as she glides at adrenaline pumping speed across the shimmering Mediterranean waters.  As heads turn to see Diversion, charter guests are guaranteed and exhilarating arrival in style at Club 55 or Nikki Beach for a day of fun and extravagance.   

Diversion’s sun deck has a large alfresco dining and bar area on the main deck, where the yacht’s three expert crew are always on hand to provide a 5 star luxury charter service.  The mood can be formal or relaxed but the moments will always be pleasurable.

The large swim platform creates the perfect area to host the day’s water sports and three large sun cushions are always appreciated when soaking up the hot Mediterranean sun and dreaming the day away.  Diversion is one of the few luxury Mediterranean charter yachts of this size offering a separate wakeboard boat on request (for an extra charge) as well as the use of a jet ski from her home port on the Cap d’Antibes.

Below decks, guests can enjoy the cool and elegant salon with its state of the art entertainment system. New for 2008 - Diversion has undergone a partial upgrade of her interior this winter to add a fresh, neutral and sophisticated feel to the interior.  This modern stylish yacht can comfortably sleep six charter guests in three luxuriously appointed en-suite cabins and is able to host larger groups for daytime entertainment.

Diversion’s captain Dean Homan (alias “Dynamic Dean” or “Da Man”) is a legend in himself and thrives on the whole St Tropez buzz taking on the challenge to organize top parties, sometimes at short notice, with a relentless determination to maintain the yacht’s reputation as one of the hippest luxury charter yachts on the French Riviera.  With funky crew uniforms, featuring the latest fashion crazes like the skull and cross bones and a recently installed DJ deck system outdoors, this yacht attracts fun lovers and party goers looking to enjoy the best in luxury yacht charters.   Diversion is one of the few charter yachts often spotted in the highly sought after berths in front of the Hotel Sube in the port of St Tropez ready for guests to jump ashore and carry on the night at the Cave des Rois.   

Diversion is the first choice for those looking for a luxury yacht charter in the Mediterranean and is also suitable for family charter as well as a good time yacht because she has it all!

For all those who believe in soulmates - do you believe when you meet it will be smooth sailing or have a rocky start. And of course - why? Also, how do you think you will know they are your soulmate?

Thanks!
