necker belle
This 105' is part of Sir Richard Branson’s company. Branson is involved because he bought the yacht, launched in 2003 as Lady Barbaretta, and had her refitted as a charter yacht in Australia.
She has been mainly set up for 8 guests, although, it can take 10 if need be.
I personally, am very excited about this yacht, and cannot wait to get onboard. Being associated with Branson and Necker Island says to me, quality. I think it is such a slam dunk idea for Branson TO become involved with a charter yacht and a natural extension of his properties.
For charters in the Caribbean winter season in 2010 the weekly rate is US$88,000. This includes charter of Necker Belle for 7 nights with seven dedicated on-board staff. An advance provisioning allowance (APA) equivalent to approximately 25% of the weekly rate will be charged to cover the operating expenses of the charter such as fuel, food, port fees, harbour dues, customs, water and electricity, personal laundry, all provisions, wines, beers, spirits, soft drinks and consumables for the charterer's party.
