New BOATBOOKINGS.COM site launched!

Boat & Yacht Charters on the Mediterranean and Caribbean - Boatbookings.com

It is with great excitement and anticipation that we today launch the new Boatbookings.com site. Boatbookings is a company born of  an internal project, a collaboration between Azure Online and eNitiative UK LTD.

Yesterday we launched our new-look website at http://www.boatbookings.com (the first time we have invested significantly in presentation) and over the past 18 months have developed a supply chain of over 3000 Yachts and Boats worldwide, on every continent, including Antarctica! They range from a couple of hundred a day, to the nearly 800 000 US$ per week Alysia and Annaliesse! Before fuel and provisioning! In fact, one of the only significant bodies of water where we have not got representation is Kariba! Perhaps the Southern Belle would consider gracing our pages?

 

We have also this past week been involved with the production of information, editorial and itineraries for Forbes Magazine and  Forbes.com, who have featured our company heavily.

 

So in any event, some of you may be simply interested, some of you may find it useful resource but all in all for us it is an exciting step into exciting times with this project so I would love it if you would take a look at the site and let us know if you think there are any significant holes in our supply (Kariba noted!) and if you have any ideas or input!

 

And circulate the site around to all those Lotter winners you may know! Or sailors!

Property Letter: June 29th, 2006

Vicky and I will be in Cape Town for the month of August and I hope we will be able to see some of you there.

Cannes is amazing this year.
I suppose it is inevitable that we would feel increasingly secure in our environment, and we have been here for over four years now – we’re no longer “new boys” on the block.

Property Letter - December 9th 2005

Dear All,
I am going to change the format of my Property Letter a little in order to put in more properties and expand the offers to include luxury apartments and villas (Comments are invited and would be appreciated). Today I will write briefer descriptions, and leave it to you to ask me for details of properties that might interest you or that fall within your budget.

The property market in Cannes has not cooled. It is sometimes suggested that it “has” or that it “will”, or that it “is inevitable”. I believe the truth is that it will be subject to a leveling out from time to time (in the future), but see no reason for it to drop.

Property Letter - 4th October 2005
(Some interesting investment options are as usual included at the end of the letter….including a new opportunity in Montenegro that could be of interest)

Dear All,

Many people have recently asked to be included in mailings and the questions most commonly asked of us are “Who are you?” and “Why are you in France?” People seem intrigued that a family of foreigners is running an organization in France that provides a ‘total solution’ in property investment, management and rental for non-French investors. (For those who have been on the mailing list for years, and you’ve heard it all before, please skip the next bits and come in at “Capital appreciation update”. That’s really interesting.)

Cannes Property Summary - UPDATE OCTOBER 2005

We continue to learn here every day:

The more we learn the more we know that we have very good long term prospects in Cannes, doing exactly what we are doing, and doing it very well. Our focus from the beginning has been on properties that you and I might not necessarily buy for ourselves and our friends and family, but on income generating units that have the ability to increase in capital value too.

Increasingly however people are asking us to source properties that they wish to keep as second or holiday homes, and are less interested in rental prospects and more in the potential for capital appreciation, and for enjoyment and personal use. It is a slightly different emphasis and equally rewarding for us and them.

We have visited the Cote d’Azur for many years. However before we started buying three and a half years ago we again travelled up and down the length of it. We looked at Nice, Villefranche which we love, Monaco, Menton, Cagnes sur Mer, Antibes, Baai des Ange, and Juan les Pins. But every piece of investment intelligence we could gather pointed us at Cannes, and within Cannes, at the Croisette. Consequently most of the 40 or so apartments we have bought are within a stones throw of the Croisette or on it, and within 15 minutes walk of the Palais des Festival.

Syndic & Co-Proprieties

The following explains the responsibilities of the owners and elected management of a building owned jointly by individual owners of apartments within the building.

French law defines in great detail both the rights of apartment owners within a Co-Propriété - a residence or immobilier or building split into separate and physically distinct apartments - as well as their responsibilities to other owners. These are detailed in the volume of rules and regulations that each owner should receive from the Notary at the same time as the title to their property.

Taxes on French Property

French Tax on Residential Property

The two principal taxes on residential property are collected by the State for the benefit of the collectivités territoriales, namely the local authorities of the Région, Département and Commune.

What taxes are there?

• The principal taxes are taxe foncière
• and taxe d’habitation. Both apply to all residential property - houses and flats.
These taxes are each assessed at an individual rate voted by each collectivité territoriale. They vary in very substantial proportions from one location to another. The commune rate of tax is often higher in main towns than in suburbs or small villages. Before renting or buying a property it is therefore wise to request details from the estate agent or owner.
