British designers have produced plans for a floating replica of the principality named Streets Of Monaco super yacht. The staggering 155m yacht is expected to cost over $1.1 billion to build and is modeled on scaled-down versions of its famous landmarks. Currently in the design stage, the super-ship will feature smaller versions of the state’s famous landmarks such as the Monte Carlo Casino and racetrack, as well as swimming pools, tennis courts, a cinema, a go kart track and a Hotel de Paris. "It is basically a floating city,” company director Rob McPherson said. The most ordinary feature is the Monaco Grand Prix-inspired go-kart track which runs around the deck. In entirety, Streets of Monaco' would be capable of housing 16 guests and 70 crew and would cost the owner tens of millions to run each year. The only question remaining for Yacht Island Design is whether they can find a billionaire with enough spare change to turn it into a reality.
Although this Streets of Monaco super yacht is not yet available, many beautiful ships are anxiously awaiting your arrival, and Magellan Jets will get you to the dock safely, quickly, and in the lap of unparalleled service. Magellan Jets is represented by an experienced team of professionals who can accommodate any private aircraft request surrounding your yachting adventure. Whether it is a luxury helicopter to escort you from the yacht to the mainland, a private jet to travel within the region of your next port-of-call, or a last-minute trip back home to attend a meeting, Magellan Jets has the private aircraft for you.

Chartering a yacht for a vacation on the water is a fantastic experience that affords guests five-star accommodations aboard the most magnificently engineered vessels in the world. It is not too common, however, that modern yachting amenities can be found aboard a vessel with an enduring history as vast as the ocean itself. In the year 1910, American naval architect Nathanael Herreshoff designed and built a 180 foot racing schooner that featured revolutionary engineering for its time. An innovative lower-keel design gave the Elena a competitive advantage that won her the Trans-Atlantic Race in 1928. Taken from Herreshoff’s original design and rebuilt in 2009, the Elena extends the tremendous opportunity to charter her for the private yacht experience of a lifetime. It may not be a pearl white 250 foot mega-yacht, but her classic design and décor is equally impressive.
This timeless vessel will truly transport you back to the age mariners and elite travelers crossed the oceans with nothing but tall sails and a steady wind. The majestic white canvas sails tethered to the massive stained-wood masts will wisp you and your guests along any of the seven seas as you enjoy all of the ship’s luxurious amenities. Imagine relaxing on her teak deck enjoying a refreshing cocktail and freshly prepared hors d’oeuvres served by one of the ship’s 8 crew members. At the end of an exciting day on the water enjoy dinner under the stars while feasting on a gourmet meal, followed by a relaxing evening in one of Elena’s five-star staterooms. To make your luxurious getaway truly complete, charter a flight with Magellan Jets to rendezvous with Elena anywhere in the world. Two world-class charter companies, one unforgettable experience. Let your voyage begin.

The salty breeze over your face, the waves crashing against the hull and the roar of powerful outboards create the exhilarating feeling as you advance your speedboat's throttles to the max. On the other end of the spectrum, the crystal clear view of the Caribbean’s sandy bottom, the majestic presence of tropical schools of fish and the serenity of being completely immersed in the natural beauty of the underwater world awaits scuba divers who are eager for adventure. How is it possible to combine these sensations into one unforgettable aquatic experience? Purchase the SC3 Sport Leisure Scubacraft and experience the latest and greatest personal watercraft available. The Scubacraft synergizes a personal watercraft and scuba diving vehicle that can skim the surface at 45 knots and submerge beneath it up to 30 meters. It is the ultimate addition to your private yacht’s array of fun machines and features the latest technology, safety specifications and performance characteristics.
The inherent risks of operating a fast water craft that functions as a submersible vehicle are greatly reduced by the SC3 Sport Leisure Scubacraft. For instance, the “positive buoyancy” design allows it to slowly float back to the surface should a power loss occur. However, if you notice an interesting shipwreck you can manually activate a “park mode” that allows the vehicle to neutrally float in the water column. Users don external scuba gear and can always freely swim to the surface should an emergency occur. The SC3 also features a VHF radio, underwater communication system, GPS, lights, an electronic surface marker buoy and an emergency position indicating radio beacon transmitter for added safety. Priced at $166,000 the SC3 Sport Leisure Scubacraft’s carbon-fiber construction is made to last and will provide years of fun and adventure on, and beneath, the water.

Luxury yachts are the nautical cousins of private jets and are similarly distinct in a class of unsurpassed extravagance. However, luxury mega-yachts may soon go beyond their soaring counterparts in terms of exclusive amenities. Imagine sipping a tropical frozen cocktail while lying under a palm tree as a babbling stream empties into a lagoon surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. This may bring back memories of your last island adventure by land, however, the luxury yachts of the future will provide the same experience from the privacy and safety of your vessel. Bamboo huts, swaying palm trees, and quaint waterfalls will someday encompass the deck of your yacht as they move in and out of the shadows casted by a miniature volcano. Coming back to reality, luxury yachting provides the ultimate vacation experience and complimenting your itinerary with a private jet or helicopter can make your trip more efficient.
Magellan Jets is represented by an experienced team of professionals who can accommodate any private aircraft request surrounding your sailing adventure. Whether it is a luxury helicopter to escort you from the yacht to the mainland, a private jet to travel within the region of your next port-of-call, or a last-minute trip back home to attend a meeting, Magellan Jets has the private aircraft for you. Leave your stress at home and let the warm breeze of the tropical trade-winds submerse you in a state of relaxation. Although a custom mega-yacht with an island paradise is not yet available, many beautiful ships are anxiously awaiting your arrival, and Magellan Jets will get you the dock safely, quickly, and in the lap of unparalleled service.

Magellan Jets had a strong presence in Fort Lauderdale, Florida this week at the 52nd edition of the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. Running from the 27th of October to the 30th, the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show is the largest yacht show in regard to sheer volume and space. The show is comprised of an impressive armada of state-of-the-art superyachts which cover over three million square feet of marina and water ways. Magellan Jets’ partner Bartram & Brakenhoff had an incredible display of several of their yachts for sale and charter docked at the show.
On the evening of October 27, Magellan Jets hosted a party with Super Yachts aboard the motor yacht REMEMBER WHEN. Light fare and cocktails were served as guests mingled. Joshua Hebert, CEO of Magellan Jets and Anthony Tivnan, President of Magellan Jets, were in attendance and enjoyed a wonderful evening which was most definitely a success for everyone involved. Amongst the largest yachts at the show are a flotilla of well over 200 yachts ranging from 10’ tenders and sport boats to 248’ behemoth luxury yachts; not to mention an army of world class exhibitors such as Feadship, Merle Wood, Perini Navi, YPI, Oceanco and Palmer Johnson. Magellan Jets looks forward to 2012’s FLL Boat Show and continuing their partnerships with both Bartram & Brakenhoff and Super Yachts.
