82 Sunseeker charter yacht TwistedEdmiston and Company issued an interesting marketing blast yesterday, promoting what it says is "a selection of the fastest and sleekest yachts available to charter this summer." I like the boldness with which the company makes no apologies for fuel burn rates or expenses while touting these sleek beauties, some of which have cruising speeds of more than 40 miles per hour. (Wow!)


As Edmiston puts it, these are the type of yachts that can help you "get there first" no matter where you want to cruise in the Mediterranean this summer. Here are the 11 motoryachts that fit the speed-demon category within the Edmiston charter fleet, from fastest to "slowest":


101-foot Baia Mirage, cruising speed 45 knots


112-foot Arno Anita, cruising speed 40 knots


104-foot Arno Pure, cruising speed 32 knots


94-foot Mangusta Triple Fun, cruising speed 30 knots


82-foot Sunseeker Samana, cruising speed 30 knots


151-foot Arno Pure One, cruising speed 28 knots


82-foot Sunseeker Twisted, cruising speed 28 knots (shown in the photograph above)


99-foot Couach Hummingbird, cruising speed 25 knots


94-foot Sunseeker Dreamster, cruising speed 21 knots


105-foot Canados Lady Natina, cruising speed 20 knots


103-foot Leight Notika Clarity, cruising speed 19 knots


Any reputable charter broker can help you book any of these yachts, or those with similar cruising speeds in other companies' charter fleets for summer 2010 vacations.
