ParrLuxe Sea Cabana For $35,000

If you are a yacht owner who likes to stylishly lounge on the water, then a Sea Cabana may be what you need. In August 2012, ParrLuxe announced the launch of its unique new portable Sea Cabana, which has been priced at US $35,000. As the Sea Cabana is not a boat, it does not require registration. This allows one to pack the inflatable raft, and take it to any seaside or lakeside location.


With a Sea Cabana, yacht owners won’t have to climb up and down their yacht, to sunbathe or to swim. They can simply pack a few of their friends into the sea cabana, and enjoy swimming and sunbathing, at the same time. The ParrLuxe Sea Cabana is incredibly mobile, and allows one to relax, anywhere and anytime, in a very convenient manner.

This Sea Cabana has been designed by Stuart Parr, a renowned designer based in New York, who has also produced movies such as ‘8 Mile’ and ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’. His main objective while designing this inflatable raft was to provide a solution for people with large yachts, who often have to walk up several levels to the yacht roof to sunbathe, and then climb down to the level of the water for a swim.

Features of ParrLuxe’s Sea Cabana

When fully inflated the ParrLuxe Sea Cabana measures about 13 x 17 feet. As many as 20 people can be comfortably fitted onto the inflatable raft, to maybe join a millionaire’s Mediterranean yacht party. The Sea Cabana also has wraparound seating inside it, and a strong canopy, supported by a carbon-fibre frame, which can be removed if required. It only takes about 15 minutes of air pumping to fully inflate.

The ParrLuxe Sea Cabana also offers yacht owners a natural swimming-pool option, through a hole in the floor, which is covered with a net. When opened, this net covered floor allows people to take a cooling dip in the sea-water, without having to climb on and off the Sea Cabana. In addition, guests also have the option of tying the inflatable raft to a boat, and zooming over the water with friends.

Buying and operating an inflatable raft, such as ParLuxe’s $35,000 Sea Cabana is legal with most municipalities, including the elite holiday locations in the world. The raft is available for sale at most yacht accessory shops, and can be easily purchased. In fact, many people have bought the Sea Cabana, and it has been spotted in various exotic locations, such as Ithaca Island in Greece, Shelter Island and even New York.     For more information, you can email them at info@parrluxe.com.

Private Charter Yachts - General Information

Private Charter Yachts - Some General Information

Before you decide to purchase or rent a luxury yacht for your vacation, here is some information about yachts. The english word 'yacht' comes from the Dutch word Jacht which means 'to hunt'. It refers to a type of fast light boat which was used by the Dutch a few centuries ago to hunt and catch pirates in the waters off their coast. King Charles 2 of England got one from the Netherlands for his private use after which this sea vessel became popular with the rich and famous.

private luxury yachts sailing vessels sailboats charter rent yacht sailer sailor boatPrivate luxury yachts anchored in the marina at Montecarlo, Monaco.

Private charter yachts can be powered either with sails or with a motor. Some yachts have both sails and a motor. They are great for a pleasure cruise as well as for profesional yacht racing.

private luxury yachts sailing vessels sailboats charter rent yacht sailer sailor boatMotor Yachts - are popularly bought or rented out by the rich and powerful and parked in marinas around the world like Monte Carlo, the Caribbean, France and Italy. Motor yachts have enough space which allow you to spend around 5 - 7 days at sea comfortably. They are usually 30 feet (9 m) to around a hundred feet (30 m) in lenght. Luxury motor yachts are about the size of a small ship and can be as much as 450 feet (135m) in lenght.

private luxury yachts sailing vessels sailboats charter rent yacht sailer sailor boatSailing Yachts - these charter yachts have a lenght over all of around 6 m (20 feet) to 30 m (98 ft). Private sailing yachts are however much smaller and range between 7 m to 14 m. In America these yachts are popularly known as sailboats. A sailing yacht can be monohull or multihull. Monohull sailer yachts have a single keel that prevent the boat from overturning due to the speed of the wind on the sails. A Multihull sailer yacht or catamaran has more than two hulls.

Private yachts or sailboats were originally made of boards of wood. Later on steel became the popular material for luxury yachts. Today, private charter yachts are usually made of cheaper materials like fibreglass, ferrocement, plywood and veneers. Racing yachts are usually made of carbon fibre just like racing cars. This enables them to withstand huge crashes. There are four kinds of sailing yachts - day sailing yachts or dingies, weekender yachts, big cruisers and racer yachts.
