Ocean Independence tells me that the 122-foot Heesen motoryacht Aurelia has had a charter cancellation. There is now additional availability this month for charters in the South of France.

Aurelia was one of my favorite motoryachts at this past spring's MYBA Charter Yacht Show in Italy. I had only seen photographs of her exterior prior to the show, and based on the paint job's race car theme, I worried that the interior was going to be waaaay out there. I was so pleasantly surprised during my onboard tour of Aurelia. The decor continues the race car theme, but in a way that is tasteful, contemporary, and just plain cool. There is not another charter yacht like her, and I mean that in a very good way.

That boat show in May was the first time the charter industry had a chance to see Aurelia, which launched in 2011. Since then, the yacht has completed a number of successful charters. Ocean Independence sent me a few of the recent client reviews, which typically come through brokers to protect the client's identity:

"He (client) asked me to say thank you for the high level service. Very nice and very helpful crew. They have assisted in every way and made the charter go smoothly. The charter was absolutely amazing. Friendly, informative, fun, and professional."

"I'm writing you on behalf of Mr & Mrs X. They asked me to thank you for the charter they had on your yacht in June. They had a great  time and really enjoyed everything that Aurelia's crew did for them. Thank you so much again for your services. Our best regards to the Aurelia crew!"

“I have pleasure in confirming in writing that we had a magnificent time onboard Aurelia. The yacht was impeccable, the service onboard was at an exceptional level, as if on a much larger vessel, and we appreciated enormously the evening the crew organized for my birthday."

The lowest weekly base rate to charter Aurelia is €108,000 for eight guests with six crew. Any reputable charter broker can tell you more about this month's newly open charter dates and help you book a week onboard.
