About gbooks

Our luxury travel service puts the ultimate touch on Journeys reflecting a unique experience of a lifetime; we design Legacy Travel for our clients. Our focus on bespoke Journeys entails more than a creative idea and a few reservations. We hand select our land teams, guides, behind the scenes experts - all who reflect our passion for excellence and personalized service. I’m passionate about travel and unique experiences; interested in meeting local people,studying architecture, discovering and learning as much as possible about every city I visit. I adore Paris, yearn to see more of Africa, a recent visit to Istanbul reminds me that there is much more to see in Turkey. A passage to India allowed me to explore the rich and diverse culture, and I barely scratched the surface of this amazing country. Love to sail, discover music and indigenous food of each region, seek out the best markets and design, and of course dine at the local restaurants. I particularly love roaming Africa, recently explored Argentina and India, which deserve another visit. A devoted Francophile, love all things Parisian, world music, excellent wines & champagne.

Summer Yacht Charter – Oh Captain, Permission to Lay Alongside?

Iceland, Scotland, and Ireland are where this stunning yacht will summer. For divers, Iceland’s freshwater dives are considered the best in the world.

Yacht Charter

Exotic is in the eye of the beholder but in Ireland from the west coast of Cork all the way up the western seaboard to Donegal, we have some of the finest locations for scuba diving on the planet.

Is Scotland good for scuba diving? Scotland is a diver’s paradise, a Northern marine jewel rich in sea life, shipwrecks, and astonishing underwater scenery. The coastline of Scotland offers divers some of the most scenic and exciting diving in the world.

There is no better way to see the world than from the water. Imagine cruising amid the wild, romantic beauty of the Western Isles, some of the most stunning, unspoilt scenery Britain has to offer. Dramatic steep scree-sided lochs give way to rolling acres of Scots pine and sunlit golden sand beaches, deserted and inaccessible except by yacht.

Enjoy Iceland from a fresh perspective. Iceland is now one of the trendiest tourist destinations on earth. But during the peak summer months, the tiny country quickly becomes overrun with the large numbers of visitors and roads are packed with cars, tour buses and jeeps. Now it is possible to enjoy all the peak season benefits that Iceland has to offer without the stress of battling the crowds. Iceland Yacht-Charter offers you a unique opportunity to see Iceland from another perspective ─ all while enjoying the privacy and peacefulness of your very own chartered yacht.


Take up the binoculars to spot seals lounging on rocks, eagles and ospreys circling overhead, puffins chattering along rugged cliffs. Dine on exceptional produce including the world’s finest seafood, enjoy a round of golf, whisky tasting at several local distilleries, deer stalking, shooting, fishing, mountain biking and hiking in this dramatic natural landscape.
