Barcelona Brief: OneOcean Club at Marina Port Vell

Posted on 2015-05-16 by tikichris

A key component of my brief Barcelona visit was a browse around OneOcean Club at Marina Port Vell. When it opened at the end of 2014, this private club raised the bar (and expectations) for the boating world by offering a range of luxury services and facilities just steps from the boundless amenities and amusements of an ever buzzing metropolis.

Barcelona Brief: Too Brief but Brilliant!

Posted on 2015-05-13 by tikichris

Just back from far too few but still wonderfully rejuvenating days in Barcelona, it’s easy to proclaim it as the ideal getaway. So ideal, I can’t stop thinking about what it might be like to getaway there for good! No matter your “thing” – art, food, beach, luxury, street life, shopping, history … etc etc ad nauseum – or whether you’re one to zealously guard a small budget or magnificently blow a big one, you can do so with flying colours in this captivating Catalan capital. And if you’re like me and want the best of it all in maximum dosage, then keep an eye out for upcoming posts in my Barcelona Brief. Continue reading →

Super Yacht Me

Posted on 2014-02-03 by tikichris

So, I left my one bedroom flat in East London (Zone 2) early on a ho-hum Tuesday morning to hop the bus en route to the exclusive five star May Fair Hotel just off the Piccadilly to attend Superyachts.com’s Top 100, an event for mega yacht execs and brand reps to rub elbows and gab about the future of their industry. Featuring a full day of press workshops with “the visionary builders and designers behind the largest super yachts in the world”, Top 100 had been set up for journos to crash “intimate sessions with the heads of the super yacht industry, gain an in-depth insight into the largest luxury yachts set to launch in 2014 and discuss the most vital topics surrounding the world’s most incredible yachts”.

Just Back from Tahiti. Whoa!

Posted on 2013-05-18 by tikichris

Hey folks. I’m back in town after a week and a half sailing around French Polynesia’s Leeward Islands. And aside from a couple of hours of choppy sailing and a bout of seasickness that I thought might never end, the trip was truly awesome: eating lots and lots of fresh papaya … swimming around in giant bathtub lagoons off wild coasts of far flung specks of land … spotting dolphins … ogling tikis … taking in all the many different shades of blue … I had a a bona fide blast in the tropical breeze.

Photos from CRN’s Mega Yacht Shipyard in Ancona, Italy

Posted on 2013-03-23 by tikichris

Yeah, multimillion dollar boats for multibillionaires seeking seaworthy luxury retreats. Apparently back in 1963 when CRN started making mega yachts, clients were eager to buy shiny things to show off at sea. These days – as the brand celebrates its 50th anniversary – its super rich buyers are more keen to splurge on a boat that enables them to slip away from the world and the ogling eyes of all the rest of us less affluent folk.
