Woody Allen filming in Antibes! Rent a boat this summer in the French Riviera to catch a glimpse!

The iconic director Woody Allen is reportedly making his way to Antibes to film a new movie based in the Cote d’Azur. The film is believed to be a period comedy, based in the 1920’s or 30’s, though this is not confirmed. Like many of Allen’s films, it boasts an all-star cast led by Oscar-winner Colin Firth and The Help actress Emma Stone.

 

According to local French newspapers, Mr. Allen will be renting the Villa Eilenroc in Antibes, a building dating back to 1860.

 

Are you taking a trip to the Cote d’Azur this summer? Rent a boat from Nice to Antibes to see if you can catch a glimpse of the action! Or feel like a star by renting a yacht in Cannes or Antibes.

 

This is the second time Allen has chosen France as a set for one of his films. His latest movie Blue Jasmine, which was launched this week, is a domestic drama based in New York and stars Cate Blanchett and Alec Baldwin. However, many of Allen’s recent films have had a more European twist, such as Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Midnight in Paris and To Rome With Love.

Villa Eilenroc in Antibes

 

If you want to be a part of the action this summer, rent a boat in St Tropez and cruise over to Antibes in style to see the latest news on this new movie! If you would like to charter a yacht or rent a boat with Easy Boat Booking this summer, contact us immediately!

The Royal Baby has arrived! Lets celebrate with a boat rental on the Cote d'Azur!

The world is celebrating the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s son, at 16:24 BST on Monday. The boy, who weighed 8lb 6oz, is the third in line to the throne. We now await the name of the son, which has yet to be decided. Favourites are said to be George, James or Alexander. Kate and the baby are said to be doing well, and have not yet been released from hospital.

A bulletin on an ornate easel was placed outside Buckingham Palace, announcing the birth of the 3^rd heir to the throne, prompting celebrations everywhere.

How are you going to celebrate the birth of the UK’s newest prince? Perhaps by renting a boat on the French Riviera? Charter a yacht in Monaco, and celebrate the Royal Baby in style, toasting some champagne under the sun.

Or perhaps you’d like to rent a boat in St Tropez, and have a relaxing day under the sun. Celebrations are taking place all over the world, with the news of the baby’s birth.

Times Square in New York was flashing in lights, Trafalgar Square in London was lit blue for the boy, the BT Tower lit the message “It’s a boy!” across London, and US president Barack Obama sent good wishes to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, congratulating them on their newfound parenthood.

Take your kids on a great day out for a boat rental to celebrate the newest heir to the throne, and rent a boat in Nice. Rent a semi-rigid boat in Nice for the chance to celebrate by waterskiing and wakeboarding.

10 sailing destinations to add to your bucket list

When we’re sat at our desks or bent over computers, it’s a daydream that many of us encounter throughout our work weeks….

A long stretch of sandy beach, a boat calmly swaying in the breeze, a gorgeous landscape, a peaceful serenity, and the sounds of only the waves and the perhaps the pop of a cap being pulled off a bottle of beer…

Well, here we are, about to add 10 real life places to add to your bucket list, (and if anyone is lucky enough to visit them all, let us know!)

 

1.     Madagascar

                                                                                                                                             

A tropical paradise, located on the island of Nosy Bé, nicknamed “Fragrant Island”! Known for its beautiful reefs, turtles, whale sharks, barracuda, gorgonian fans, crocodile fish, octopus, leopard sharks, dragon fish and manta rays, Madagascar is your perfect place for a private charter.

Our most popular destination, a sea-side town located right on the French Riviera, offering splendid views, warm weather, and lucky for us, it is also the home of our office! Villefranche-sur-mer is our unspoilt treasure, with colourful buildings, narrow cobbled backstreets, and old bricked alleys.

New Boats in Villefranche-sur-mer!

Summer’s rolling in, the sun is shining, and we at Easy Boat Booking have become the proud new parents (or is it owners?) of three fantastic new boats. Leaflets and web pages can only say so much, so we thought we’d give you the run down here on our blog…

 

First up, we have the Zar 57 Welldeck. 

This is a new model of ZAR, giving you a touch of comfort and space for up to 12 passengers. With a length of 5.77 meters and a width of 2.54 meters, there is plenty of room for everyone to sit back, relax, and enjoy the sea. While this boat will be based in Villefranche-Sur-Mer, we’d also be happy to depart from Beaulieu-Sur-Mer, Cap d'ail, Eze sur mer, Monaco, Nice, or Saint jean cap ferrat. With a low price of €399 per day, this is the boat that can give you luxury, fun, and an all-round-brilliant-day, on a lower budget. We all know that when we’re on holiday, we try to pack as many activities as possible into each day. So if you don’t want to take up one whole day on the sea, take advantage of our special offer on this motorboat rental for €250 for 4 hours. If you fancy something a little more on the wild side, this semi-rigid boat rental is also perfect for water sports.

Next up – The Ranieri Voyager 21S.

Our brand-new, 2013 Ranieri is our new stylish cruiser. The interior is comfortable, sleek, and luxurious; the size is spacious enough for 7 guests; and my personal favorite part of the boat: the spacious sunbathing area at the front. Skimming the waters a-top this baby is not only relaxing but a peaceful, enjoyable way to spend a day in the sun. This rental boat is available not only from Villefranche-Sur-Mer, but also Beaulieu-Sur-Mer, Cap d'ail, Eze-Sur-Mer, Monaco, Nice, and Saint jean cap ferrat. Why not rent the Ranieri motorboat from Nice Port and sail to St Jean Cap Ferrat for your first dip in the Mediterranean sea? This boat rents for €550 per day, or if you fancy a half day; €350. 

 

 

And finally, we have the Joker boat Mainstream 800.

Here we have the most exciting new boat of the season! This rental boat seems to be the perfect boat for cruising the French Riviera and having and explore around the Mediterranean water with your friends or family. With enough room for 14 friends and family, no one will get left at home, and it’s the ideal activity for a fun group gathering. Not only is there room for two lucky people to chill out and catch the sun at the back of the boat, there’s also an area for one other person to sunbathe at the front. As this rental semi-rigid boat is equipped with a kitchen, never worry about anyone going hungry.  You can rent the Mainstream 800 not only from Villefranche-Sur-Mer, but Beaulieu-Sur-Mer, Cap d'ail, Eze-Sur-Mer, Monaco, Nice, and Saint jean cap ferrat as well. Watersports are a must on this rental boat, what’s your choice? Wakeboard? Rubber rings? Take your pick… This boat rents for €750 per day, or €450 per half day.
