Blue & Beyond #10 - 3 Superyachts Meet Their Perfect Private Jet Match

If you are looking to go from air to sea the fastest (and most comfortable) way possible – then superyachts and private jets are the way to go.

06 February 2018
So, it’s no wonder that many superyachts often have similar characteristics to some of the world’s most famous private jets. At PrivateFly, we regularly coordinate private jet and helicopter flights to seamlessly connect clients with yachts all over the world. Here are three private jet and superyacht matches to help coordinate your next air-to-sea adventure.

1. SPEED

One of the fastest private jets in the world is Cessna’s midsize Citation X. Vying neck and neck with Gulfstream’s G650 for the fastest accolade, the Citation X has a maximum speed of Mach 0.935 (just under the speed of sound), making this private jet the perfect match for one of the speediest yachts around, motor yacht RHINO A.

Reaching exhilarating speeds of up to 38 knots, RHINO A is a striking Riva 86’ Domino sports cruiser designed with a sporty influence to its minimalist style. This semi-custom 86 Domino planing yacht is equipped with an ultra-modern stabilization system which reduces roll motion effect and results in a smoother more enjoyable cruising experience. She features ‘at anchor stabilisers’ which work at zero speed to increase onboard comfort at anchor and on rough waters. With a cruising speed of 30 knots, a maximum speed of 38 knots and a range of 300nm from her 7,500-litre fuel tanks, she is the perfect combination of performance and luxury and a great choice for fast cruising along the French Riviera in absolute style and luxury!

2. MOST POPULAR

The world’s bestselling private jet, Cessna’s Citation XLS is a medium jet aircraft that combines speed, range, cabin space and affordability. Seating up to eight passengers, this aircraft has a range of 1800 nautical miles and has landing capabilities to access many short runways, such as Cannes Mandelieu airport.

This aircraft is an extremely popular choice for flights up to three hours, perfectly aligning with its superyacht match, motor yacht ENTOURAGE – one of the most sought-after superyachts in the charter market.

ENTOURAGE has a proven track record when it comes to both Mediterranean and Caribbean charters. Her repeat-client record is testimony to her popularity, with many clients returning to experience her luxury, comfort and guaranteed 5 star service from her long-standing crew. This custom full displacement 47m Admiral yacht is equipped with an ultra-modern stabilization system to reduce roll motion effect delivering a smoother, more enjoyable cruising experience. She also features ‘at anchor stabilisers’ which work at zero speed to increase onboard comfort.

ENTOURAGE's interior layout sleeps up to 12 guests in 5 exquisite staterooms, including a master suite, 2 VIP staterooms and 2 convertible twin to double cabins. She is also capable of carrying up to 9 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht experience. Timeless styling, beautiful furnishings and sumptuous seating feature throughout to create an elegant and comfortable atmosphere and ENTOURAGE's impressive leisure and entertainment facilities make her the ideal charter yacht for socialising and entertaining with family and friends.

3. GLAMOUR

The first thing that comes to mind with both private jets and superyachts – glamour & luxury! So why not pair together the two most glamorous ones together?

For the private jet, we’ve got the famous Gulfstream G650. When you really need to make a glamorous entrance, the G650 will jet you there in style. Still in limited supply in the charter market, this only boosts its attraction – matching in desirability to its perfect superyacht match, motor yacht ICON.

The 67-metre motor yacht ICON which was designed by Redman Whiteley Dixon and built in steel and aluminium, was delivered in 2010 as the first yacht from the Dutch yard Icon Yachts. A comprehensive refit in 2014 added five metres to her length and also added a number of fresh features including a five metre infinity swimming pool, a six-person sauna, large gym, shower and dive store.

ICON’s elegant and contemporary, high volume interior was designed by Studio Linse and she offers sumptuous accommodation for 12 guests in 7 cabins. These consist of a split-level master suite, three VIP suites, two twins and a convertible twin that can also act as a home cinema, all with state-of-the-art entertainment systems and en-suite bathroom facilities.
