'Ahoy' to Necker Belle!

I have to announce that I have a new lady in my life. But my lovely wife needn’t worry – it’s Necker Belle, a magnificent 32 metre catamaran. This is the latest addition to the Virgin Limited Edition collection. 

After spending the last two years undergoing an extensive refit, following her former years as Lady Barbaretta, I was introduced to Necker Belle in her spectacular new form. I was thrilled to be able to jump onboard and see her in all her true glory. She really is a stunner and certainly turned my head, especially knowing the speeds that she can get up to.  I have no doubt she will do the same to everyone else!

With a fantastic crew of seven, she will soon set sail for the Caribbean.  Necker Belle will be available for tailor-made weekly charters from February 2010 onwards. 

You can keep abreast of Necker Belle’s progress in the run up and during her sea trials by logging on to the ‘Captain’s blog’ where you can chat with our Captain Jono and Chief Stewardess Suzanne.
