HALCYON YACHT CHARTER IS DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO ANNOUNCE ITS ATTENDANCE AT THE DUBAI INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW.
The “Halcyon Days” of an English summer may seem a long way away from the searing heat of the Middle East but Halcyon Yacht Charter has identified an increasing trend of overseas bookings of its classic 1920’s Bermudan Ketch.
Combining the sumptuous splendour of a bygone age with the magic of a traditional sailing craft, S/y Halcyon embodies all that is best about the pleasures of cruising the idyllic waters of the British Isles. Offering an attractive combination of itineraries ranging from the West Coast of Scotland to the Channel Islands and Irish Shores, S/y Halcyon provides her guests with exquisite cuisine and exceptional service which ensures an unrivalled sailing experience.
With United Arab Emirates’ great sailing heritage in their traditional Dows and a great desire to experience more of the European style of sailing, S/y Halcyon offers a unique blend of hospitality and a purist sailing experience unrivalled by more modern charter yachts.
Unfortunately S/y Halcyon was not able to make it all the way to the show but the next best thing her Captain, Robert Hickman, will be in attendance at the show. Also in attendance is Annette Corder the Hospitality and Marketing Manager and David Green who handles all their promotional activity and who will be happy to answer questions on the Halcyon Yacht Charter stand in the ESS Hall ( Stand no: J2-4 ).
This attendance comes in a year where Halcyon Yacht Charter LLP has already announced its support of the wonderful work of the Ellen MacArthur Trust. The Trust which has been in existence since 2004 specialises in taking young people recovering from serious illness to sea. Their work is renowned as being some of the most successful of its kind in the charitable sector and has transformed hundreds of young lives.
Andrew Armour, S/y Halcyon’s owner, has attended the EMT Ball and donated auction prizes in the past but has been so taken with the work of the Trust that he has agreed to donate 5% of all the income from individuals, groups and businesses who quote the Ellen MacArthur Trust when booking. This extra funding will help to ensure that more young people can engage in activity with the Trust in 2009.
Frank Fletcher ( Manager of the Ellen MacArthur Trust ) had this to say about the good news: “The Ellen MacArthur Trust is delighted with this continued support from Andrew and the Halcyon team. This is a fantastic way for people to support the trust whilst cruising in this most fabulous vessel.“
Halcyon Yacht Charter, can be found on stand J2-4 in the ESS Hall and would be delighted to see you and talk about what is widely regarded as the most beautiful classic yacht on charter in UK waters.
