Sarah Fraser joins Cecil Wright & Partners

Chris is delighted to announce that Sarah Fraser, formerly of Dubois Yachts and Edmiston, is joining the charter brokerage team. A keen sailor, Sarah brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Cecil Wright & Partners as well as plenty of large sailing yacht experience, so this is yet more positive news for the business.

Chris Cecil-Wright commented, “I am delighted by the ways things have gone in the last six months, due in no small part to my fantastic team. It is good to be working with Sarah Fraser again, and I know she will play an important part in the growth of our charter business. ”

Madame Gu Wins Two Awards!

MADAME GU was the worthy winner of two awards at the ShowBoat Design Awards in Austria last night, beating strong competition to win the Exterior and Styling Award and the Tender Design Award. This was a fabulous result for everyone involved, including Andrew Winch and his team, who designed both the interior and exterior design, and Chris Cecil-Wright who himself had a key role in the development of this stunning yacht prior to starting Cecil Wright and Partners.

Chris personally sold the concept of a new build yacht to the owner of MADAME GU, then assembled the build team, oversaw the writing of the specification, negotiated the build contract and managed the build. Even some of her most famous features can be traced back to Chris - he made the suggestion of utilising the space left when the helicopter vacated its hanger for an onboard squash court. This advice was duly acted upon, and she is still the only superyacht with its very own squash court.

Enchantress

Cecil Wright and Partners are the central agency for Enchantress, a stunning 115ft Benetti motor yacht available for charter that will be cruising the Mediterranean during the European season.

This relatively 'small'  luxurious motor yacht can sleep ten guests, and has seven crew to cater to their every whim. The onboard facilities are equal to that of a much larger yacht, with dining on all three deck levels, large outdoor decks, classically styled furniture, a jacuzzi and a full compliment of water toys - think jetskis, wakeboards and underwater scooters! Perfect for a blow-the budget 50th birthday, or once in a lifetime holiday for those who would never normally consider a superyacht trip, Enchantress is the perfect 'starter yacht', and is available from 85,000 euros per week.

Enchantress is available for small parties to charter for the Monaco Grand Prix and the Cannes Film Festival, so please get in touch if you are interested in charter opportunities.
