Hot on the heels of winning the Culinary Contest at the Antigua Charter Yacht Show and following a $4m refit last year, the 164ft Westport built M/Y Trending is the ideal yacht for the more gourmand focused charterer. Chef Charlie Blacker believes that “eating is an intrinsic necessity in life, but eating well is an endless and joyous adventure,” and we have to agree. Previously head chef of Queen Elizabeth II’s Polo Club, Blacker brings the trend of using locally sourced food into a yachting context. “I’m always keen to use local produce and try to open every charter with a dish synonymous with the area we are in at the time.”
Charter M/Y Trending from $198,000 per week during winter, $249,938 per week during summer. Contact Terry Hines, charter management director at IYC, thines@iyc.com, +1 954 769 9218, iyc.com
