For more than 40 years CNI have been trusted to inform, introduce and entice their clients with new ideas, information and innovations in every aspect of luxury yacht charter and sales. CNI has five divisions that work hand-in-hand to provide a professional service in all aspects of yacht brokerage, management, build, charter holidays, charter fleet management, and crew placement. Our head office in Monaco overseas all the financial and legal management of all these divisions, along with the coordination of our ten international offices.

As a result, in 2005 we teamed up with The CarbonNeutral Company (TCNC) to make our company carbon neutral. We have measured how much carbon dioxide CNI produces from all its activities and are learning how to avoid emissions and how to set realistic targets and goals to reduce them. There will always be a degree of unavoidable emissions, but by working on a CarbonNeutral programme, we are now offsetting or ‘neutralising’ these emissions. By supporting a number of renewable energy and sustainable forestry projects around the world, we can now help save and absorb the equivalent amount of emissions that CNI produces. To ‘neutralise’ CNI’s CO2 emissions from the last 12 months of operations we selected a forestry project in Scotland and a small hydro project in Bulgaria, both of which are well under way. To offset our emissions for the forthcoming year we have just signed up to a Wind Farm project in New Zealand. CNI can make your next charter a little ’greener’ by measuring and ‘neutralising’ the CO2 associated with the fuel burned by any yacht. If you would like to join us in the CarbonNeutral Programme, please contact your CNI broker. http://www.cnconnect.com//main.aspx?newsid=426Camper and Nicholsons International 5/11/2008 7:31:05 PM Rodriguez Group designs, manages the production and markets "avant garde" boats.

You can be assured of discovery, action and excitement whenever you venture ashore, and you have the promise of five-star cuisine and accommodation, peerless service and indulgent treats whenever you return to your yacht.

"After Orr's meal, I adjusted my standards upwards in terms of what I consider exceptional food. Our first course was Kumera soup, freshly smoked using Manuka wood flown in from New Zealand. The dish had one goal: expression of clarity and bold flavor. Mission accomplished. Pan-fried grouper on a square of oven-roasted pasta sounds simple, but Orr intertwines its clean flavor with a bed of pomme puree that incorporates hand-crushed ginger and lemon. The dish is finished with lemon-infused olive oil and balsamic reduction. The gentle flavors of grouper and the slightly brash vitality of the pomme puree take turns on the palate, but no single element shouts. Rather, they work together in an unexpected, artful arrangement of taste. Speaking of artful, the dessert did not dissappoint. Chocolate mousse was bound between circles of moist chocolate sponge, accompanied by creme anglaise and a petite quenelle of vanilla ice cream. All of the above was imprisoned by a spun sugar cage. Its rich, but very clean flavor was the perfect finish to the meal. Presentation does not end with the food, but continues with the layout and amenities of the yacht herself..." http://www.cnconnect.com/charter/main.aspx?newsid=272Camper and Nicholsons International 5/11/2008 7:31:05 PM Marilyn Mower writes in ShowBoats International: According to Camper & Nicholsons charter brokers Barbara Dawson and Pierre Hurel, the overall profile of a yacht is a factor in the selection process. "The single most important aspect for a charter yacht is its exterior lines," says Hurel a 17-year veteran on CNI's Monaco office. "Beautiful lines sell, ugly ones do not." Dawson adds that American clients particularly seem to like sleek-looking yachts.

It's a hard question to answer when heading off to join a yacht on the Cote d'Azur or in the Bahamas for a business meeting. Ask our brokers for references such as: "We had an idea of the impact we needed to make on our clients, but CNI took this beyond the realms of our imagination and created a truly exceptional evening". Whether during the Monaco Grand Prix, Cannes Film Festival or the Newport Jazz Festival, CNI's charter advisors know how to secure you the best berth, provide on board entertainment or even recommend a quiet bay to anchor in, away from the office environment, until you have the signature you are after on your business contract... <a href="/charter/howto.asp?newsid=226">Communications on board</a> allow for lawyers, advisors, agents, the office etc to be on hand as if next door. Many yachts have on-board offices adjacent to the master suite or full conference facilities. If the going gets tough, there's always the Jacuzzi. http://www.cnconnect.com/charter/main.aspx?newsid=256Camper and Nicholsons International 5/11/2008 7:31:05 PM http://www.cnconnect.com/crew crew To help us find the right position for you please register by signing up using the new user tool on the far right of the screen.

But knowing the best crew across the world is not enough, the crucial thing is finding exactly the 'right' crew for your particular yacht, and this is what CNI's Crew Placement Division specialises in.

For more details, do not hesitate to contact us at <a href="JAVASCRIPT:openContactForm(1,134,15);">Crew Placement [Europe]</a> or <a href="JAVASCRIPT:openContactForm(1,155,15);">Crew Placement [USA]</a> http://www.cnconnect.com/crew/main.aspx?newsid=129Camper and Nicholsons International 5/11/2008 7:31:05 PM It’s noon on a Tuesday, or perhaps it’s a Wednesday. For crew, the day of the week is unimportant. A yachting calendar is geared around the guests. Today my primary concern as chief stewardess on Excellence III is that the Smith’s charter begins tomorrow at lunchtime. It is their first charter. I and the three other stewardesses on board are donning the finishing touches on the interior and making sure that nothing is forgotten. The provisions are stocked, the flowers are arranged in place, the boat is immaculate, the sheets are pressed, magazines and books abound, and the champagne is chilling. First time guests are, to begin, only a name. Take the Smith’s, for example. The group starts to take form through phone conversations and information from the charter broker. A preference sheet, filled out by the charter guests, gives us some insight as to the food and drink preferences as well as the kind of activities the group enjoys. But even with these guidelines, a charter crew is prepared for the unexpected. Once the guests arrive it all could change. After all, it is their holiday! The fun of chartering a boat is the flexibility it allows. The interior staff is flexible as well. It is my job to get a sense of the mood on board and cater to it. Is it appropriate to prepare exotic frozen concoctions, champagne cocktails, or to serve sparkling waters with lime? Would the guests prefer a three course lunch aboard or a picnic on the beach? What makes a charter holiday different from other holidays is the personal touch it allows. As we get to know each individual guest, we can anticipate their desires. A yacht provides a private setting which can be personalised unlike any five star hotel. We are aware that Mr Smith takes his coffee with cream. Mrs Smith prefers tulips in her cabin and Aveda skin cream, so I see to it that she has both. A charter yacht has the same amenities as a grand hotel. This includes elaborate table settings, spectacular flower arrangements, fine table services, laundry daily, a full bar with a capable bar tender, turn down in the evening, fresh sheets, and so on. The stewardesses see to all of these areas. It is our pleasure to get to know each group of guests and tailor our work to equal their vision of a perfect trip. It is our goal to surpass that vision by paying attention to the smallest of details. The moment our guests step aboard, every effort is made to make them feel at home. No request goes unheard, and no desire is left unanswered. So for now the Smith’s are merely a loose idea. The moment they step aboard, a voice on the phone and a preference list take shape in each individual guest. We know the wine cellar is stocked with the wines they prefer and that we have the newest movies in our library. It is now our job to greet our guests and help them mould each day to create the ultimate trip. A yacht charter is personal and private, where guests become more than a room number attached to a name. The guests and the trip are distinctive as well as memorable. Hopefully next year they will return, to a now familiar setting where the crew remembers not only your name, but how you take your coffee.

Jaguar cruises Croatia in the summer and is run by her husband and wife owners, Jan & Claudia. "Jan & I are always on board, because this life is too beautiful for us to want to miss a moment. The lure of the blue water, with its dolphins and even whales that pass beneath our bow is impossible to resist. At the beginning and end of every season we anchor off Juan les Pins and have come to consider this little bay our home. When we have no guests I always invite the crew for a cappuccino on the beach. It's a sort of tradition - a celebration of this life. It might be that, because I really don't like cappuccino very much!" http://www.cnconnect.com/crew/main.aspx?newsid=258Camper and Nicholsons International 5/11/2008 7:31:05 PM http://www.cnconnect.com/sales/news.aspx brokerage news The inaugural Young Designer of the Year Award 2008 has received an impressive 40 entries for its first event.

Global Marine Travel (GMT) graciously donated an air ticket for a raffle that was won by Captain Andre Peens of Princess Mariana. CNI’s Crewed Affair crew party, now in its third year, was held on the Friday preceding the show. This year CNI partnered with Dockwalk magazine and GMT in hosting what has become a really fun pre-show party. Over 400 crew, captains and friends attended. This year CNI brought a Carbon Neutral dimension to its participation with a fleet of hybrid cars to chauffeur clients around the show. The distinctive green pennants could be seen from quite some distance, which was useful considering the inordinate amount of traffic. Those who came to CNI’s VIP outdoor lounge were ushered into the indoor café due to the weather. The food was superb and ensured that a crowd of guests (and CNI staff) packed it every day of the show.

You can be assured of discovery, action and excitement whenever you venture ashore, and you have the promise of five-star cuisine and accommodation, peerless service and indulgent treats whenever you return to your yacht.

Superyacht charter first emerged in the middle of the last century, and in the last few decades of the 20th century it really came into its own. It is not hard to see why. Not only does it promise luxury beyond comparison, it is also exciting – your own private travelling resort delivering you to the world’s most compelling destinations. But above all, a superyacht affords its guests an extreme level of security and privacy – a means to escape media attention, the masses and the complexities of everyday life. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that following the success of private charters, the formula was expanded to the corporate world. http://www.cnconnect.com/charter/corporate.aspx/main.aspx?newsid=429Camper and Nicholsons International 5/11/2008 7:31:05 PM Corporations are also tapping into the yacht charter market as a way to retain devoted, talented employees and keep them motivated and inspired. The crew can organise watersports activities and excursions ashore, or the charter broker can arrange for professional team-building seminars and challenges, such as learning to sail on board a fleet of yachts. There are endless options. Aside from the remarkable activities available on a corporate charter, the destinations alone are a peerless incentive or reward. Charters can take place in the world’s most beautiful destinations, such as the remote Virgin islands, in the most dynamic cities, such as the trendy, business centre of Cannes, or can tie in with world-famous events, such as the Monaco Grand Prix. For corporate entertainment occasions, or simply if larger groups of guests wish to charter a yacht, Camper & Nicholsons International can supply a fleet of yachts to cruise in tandem, or provide a single megayacht with accommodation for up to 80 guests. The following yachts are just a sample of the many available. http://www.cnconnect.com/charter/corporate.aspx/main.aspx?newsid=431Camper and Nicholsons International 5/11/2008 7:31:05 PM In an age where business is an integral part of life for so many, luxurious megayachts the likes of the 85.3 metre Alysia, or the 116.5 metre Turama, are increasingly chartered by corporations, high-profile personalities, and large family groups. The controlled environment that they can provide is a key selling point for security and privacy reasons, as well as the highly efficient, discreet and inspired working environment they offer. Equipped with all the latest technology and communications, the new breed of megayacht offers facilities for both conferences and private work. First-class accommodation and a full range of leisure facilities are on hand to refresh employees at the end of a busy day, and most yachts now include spas and gymnasiums. Full-time professional crews (including gourmet chefs, nurses, massage and beauty therapists) are also on hand to take care of every need. It is not unusual for members of the crew to take training in defence skills, or for the traditional nanny’s cabin adjacent to the owner’s suite to be occupied by a bodyguard. Thus high-profile celebrities and statesmen, for example, can travel in comfort and safety with their entire entourage – whether for business or pleasure. http://www.cnconnect.com/charter/corporate.aspx/main.aspx?newsid=430Camper and Nicholsons International 5/11/2008 7:31:05 PM Business or pleasure? It's a hard question to answer when heading off to join a yacht on the Cote d'Azur or in the Bahamas for a business meeting. Ask our brokers for references such as: "We had an idea of the impact we needed to make on our clients, but CNI took this beyond the realms of our imagination and created a truly exceptional evening". Whether during the Monaco Grand Prix, Cannes Film Festival or the Newport Jazz Festival, CNI's charter advisors know how to secure you the best berth, provide on board entertainment or even recommend a quiet bay to anchor in, away from the office environment, until you have the signature you are after on your business contract... <a href="/charter/howto.asp?newsid=226">Communications on board</a> allow for lawyers, advisors, agents, the office etc to be on hand as if next door. Many yachts have on-board offices adjacent to the master suite or full conference facilities. If the going gets tough, there's always the Jacuzzi. http://www.cnconnect.com/charter/corporate.aspx/main.aspx?newsid=256Camper and Nicholsons International 5/11/2008 7:31:05 PM http://www.cnconnect.com/crew/news.aspx crew news CNI's central agency yachts came up trumps at the Antigua Charter Yacht Meeting at the end of last year. In particular, the 51.4m (168') <a href="/charter/yachtdetail.aspx?id=1370">Lazy Z </a> stormed through the event winning accolades at every turn. In the Concours de Chef competition, the yacht's chef, Emma Rye, won the main chef award and the Caribbean Coffee event, while the best table setting was awarded to Lazy Z's chief stewardess Madurya Abitol - making Laz Z a triple crown winner. Congratulations to Lazy Z and the team! http://www.cnconnect.com/crew/news.aspx/main.aspx?newsid=556Camper and Nicholsons International 5/11/2008 7:31:05 PM It’s noon on a Tuesday, or perhaps it’s a Wednesday. For crew, the day of the week is unimportant. A yachting calendar is geared around the guests. Today my primary concern as chief stewardess on Excellence III is that the Smith’s charter begins tomorrow at lunchtime. It is their first charter. I and the three other stewardesses on board are donning the finishing touches on the interior and making sure that nothing is forgotten. The provisions are stocked, the flowers are arranged in place, the boat is immaculate, the sheets are pressed, magazines and books abound, and the champagne is chilling. First time guests are, to begin, only a name. Take the Smith’s, for example. The group starts to take form through phone conversations and information from the charter broker. A preference sheet, filled out by the charter guests, gives us some insight as to the food and drink preferences as well as the kind of activities the group enjoys. But even with these guidelines, a charter crew is prepared for the unexpected. Once the guests arrive it all could change. After all, it is their holiday! The fun of chartering a boat is the flexibility it allows. The interior staff is flexible as well. It is my job to get a sense of the mood on board and cater to it. Is it appropriate to prepare exotic frozen concoctions, champagne cocktails, or to serve sparkling waters with lime? Would the guests prefer a three course lunch aboard or a picnic on the beach? What makes a charter holiday different from other holidays is the personal touch it allows. As we get to know each individual guest, we can anticipate their desires. A yacht provides a private setting which can be personalised unlike any five star hotel. We are aware that Mr Smith takes his coffee with cream. Mrs Smith prefers tulips in her cabin and Aveda skin cream, so I see to it that she has both. A charter yacht has the same amenities as a grand hotel. This includes elaborate table settings, spectacular flower arrangements, fine table services, laundry daily, a full bar with a capable bar tender, turn down in the evening, fresh sheets, and so on. The stewardesses see to all of these areas. It is our pleasure to get to know each group of guests and tailor our work to equal their vision of a perfect trip. It is our goal to surpass that vision by paying attention to the smallest of details. The moment our guests step aboard, every effort is made to make them feel at home. No request goes unheard, and no desire is left unanswered. So for now the Smith’s are merely a loose idea. The moment they step aboard, a voice on the phone and a preference list take shape in each individual guest. We know the wine cellar is stocked with the wines they prefer and that we have the newest movies in our library. It is now our job to greet our guests and help them mould each day to create the ultimate trip. A yacht charter is personal and private, where guests become more than a room number attached to a name. The guests and the trip are distinctive as well as memorable. Hopefully next year they will return, to a now familiar setting where the crew remembers not only your name, but how you take your coffee.

Jaguar cruises Croatia in the summer and is run by her husband and wife owners, Jan & Claudia. "Jan & I are always on board, because this life is too beautiful for us to want to miss a moment. The lure of the blue water, with its dolphins and even whales that pass beneath our bow is impossible to resist. At the beginning and end of every season we anchor off Juan les Pins and have come to consider this little bay our home. When we have no guests I always invite the crew for a cappuccino on the beach. It's a sort of tradition - a celebration of this life. It might be that, because I really don't like cappuccino very much!" http://www.cnconnect.com/crew/news.aspx/main.aspx?newsid=258Camper and Nicholsons International 5/11/2008 7:31:05 PM http://www.cnconnect.com/crew/services.aspx crew services CNI has excellent contacts throughout the luxury yacht industry, which is invaluable when it comes to the searching and placement of crew.

For more than 40 years CNI have been trusted to inform, introduce and entice their clients with new ideas, information and innovations in every aspect of luxury yacht charter and sales. CNI has five divisions that work hand-in-hand to provide a professional service in all aspects of yacht brokerage, management, build, charter holidays, charter fleet management, and crew placement. Our head office in Monaco overseas all the financial and legal management of all these divisions, along with the coordination of our ten international offices.

As a result, in 2005 we teamed up with The CarbonNeutral Company (TCNC) to make our company carbon neutral. We have measured how much carbon dioxide CNI produces from all its activities and are learning how to avoid emissions and how to set realistic targets and goals to reduce them. There will always be a degree of unavoidable emissions, but by working on a CarbonNeutral programme, we are now offsetting or ‘neutralising’ these emissions. By supporting a number of renewable energy and sustainable forestry projects around the world, we can now help save and absorb the equivalent amount of emissions that CNI produces. To ‘neutralise’ CNI’s CO2 emissions from the last 12 months of operations we selected a forestry project in Scotland and a small hydro project in Bulgaria, both of which are well under way. To offset our emissions for the forthcoming year we have just signed up to a Wind Farm project in New Zealand. CNI can make your next charter a little ’greener’ by measuring and ‘neutralising’ the CO2 associated with the fuel burned by any yacht. If you would like to join us in the CarbonNeutral Programme, please contact your CNI broker. http://www.cnconnect.com/about.aspx/main.aspx?newsid=426Camper and Nicholsons International 5/11/2008 7:31:06 PM How do you like this site?
