A closer look
A Panoramic Vista
The main salon is a haven of refined comfort, encased in large picture windows that frame the ever-changing Canadian panorama. Sink into plush seating, a warm beverage in hand, as ancient forests and glacial waters drift past. The rich timber finishes and soft, diffused lighting create an inviting atmosphere, perfect for quiet reflection or lively conversation after a day of coastal exploration. The air conditioning ensures a consistently pleasant climate, regardless of the crisp outdoor air.
Al Fresco Indulgence
The aft deck transforms into an idyllic outdoor lounge, an essential gathering point. With ample seating and a shaded dining area, it’s the perfect spot to savour the fresh sea air. The built-in BBQ promises delightful grilled fare, from freshly caught seafood to succulent meats, all prepared against a breathtaking backdrop of islands and shimmering waterways. Evenings here are alive with the sounds of nature, punctuated by laughter and shared stories.
Bridge Deck Sanctuary
Ascend to the bridge deck, where an expansive open-air space beckons. This elevated vantage point offers unparalleled views, ideal for spotting wildlife – eagles soaring overhead or whales breaching in the distance. Comfortable sun loungers invite relaxation, while the discreetly placed ice maker ensures chilled refreshments are always at hand. It's a private retreat, a place to feel connected to the vastness of the ocean, yet cocooned in luxury.
Masterful Navigation
The helm, a sophisticated command centre designed by Ed Monk Jr., is a testament to precision and control. Observe the skilled crew at work, effortlessly guiding the yacht through intricate channels. The quiet hum of the powerful engines, coupled with the subtle assistance of the bow and stern thrusters, ensures smooth manoeuvring, promising a journey as serene as the landscapes you traverse. This is where expertise meets the elements, ensuring your safety and comfort.
Serene Observation Lounge
Forward of the main salon, a more intimate observation lounge provides a quiet escape. Here, the panoramic windows offer an unobstructed view directly ahead, ideal for taking in the majesty of the Canadian coastline as you approach new destinations. It’s a peaceful nook for reading, enjoying a morning coffee, or simply watching the world unfold, a private theatre where nature performs its grandest spectacle.
Accommodation
Below deck, four thoughtfully appointed cabins provide sanctuary for eight guests. The master suite, a spacious retreat, features a generous berth and an ensuite bathroom, offering a private haven of calm. Each guest cabin is meticulously designed, ensuring comfort and privacy, with individual climate control. The layout supports a peaceful night’s rest, preparing you for days filled with adventure. Fine linens and understated elegance define these personal spaces, crafting a truly restorative environment for all on board.
Culinary excellence is at the heart of the experience. The dedicated chef crafts bespoke menus, drawing inspiration from the bounty of the region, focusing on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Meals can be enjoyed in the formal interior dining area, bathed in natural light, or al fresco on the aft deck, where the sea breeze complements every dish. From hearty breakfasts to gourmet dinners, each meal is an event, tailored to your preferences, promising a delightful exploration of flavours.
While A GREAT ESCAPE doesn't feature a dedicated spa, the very essence of the Canadian wilderness offers a profound sense of wellness. The crisp, clean air and the tranquil sounds of nature provide an inherent restorative quality. Enjoy a refreshing outdoor shower after a swim, or simply find a quiet corner on deck to meditate amidst the stunning scenery. The expansive deck spaces invite gentle stretching and quiet contemplation, connecting you with the serene environment.
The ocean becomes your playground with a well-curated selection of water toys. Glide across the glassy waters on the paddleboards, discovering hidden coves only accessible by smaller craft. The kayaks offer a more intimate connection with the marine life, allowing silent exploration of the shoreline. For the thrill-seekers, adult water skis and a variety of towable toys promise exhilarating fun, ensuring every moment on the water is filled with enjoyment and adventure.

What a yacht like A GREAT ESCAPE costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on A GREAT ESCAPE is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 31m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
