A closer look
Sun-Kissed Foredeck Lounging
The catamaran's expansive foredeck beckons with plush sun pads, offering an uninterrupted vista of the Caribbean horizon. Feel the warm tropical air on your skin as you recline, the gentle murmur of the sea a constant lullaby. It's the perfect spot for morning coffee as the sun climbs, or for stargazing after a day of island exploration. A truly immersive connection with the elements, where the boundaries between sea and sky blur into pure serenity.
Al Fresco Dining Delights
The aft deck provides a shaded sanctuary for convivial meals, surrounded by the ocean's expanse. Imagine the aroma of a freshly grilled catch from the onboard BBQ, served at a polished table. The gentle sway of the yacht, the soft caress of the sea breeze, and the captivating backdrop of a Caribbean sunset transform every meal into an occasion. It’s an effortless blend of gourmet dining and nature’s theatre.
Cool Comfort Indoors
Step into the main saloon, a bright and airy haven of comfort, cooled by air conditioning. This inviting space offers a welcome respite from the midday sun, an ideal spot for quiet contemplation or shared laughter. With a sophisticated indoor audio system and a TV, it provides an elegant setting for evening entertainment, or simply unwinding with a good book while enjoying panoramic views through the large windows.
Seamless Swim Platform Access
The broad swim platform invites immediate immersion into the crystal-clear waters. It's a gateway to refreshing dips, easy boarding for water toys, and the invigorating outdoor shower for rinsing off after a swim. This area is designed for effortless connection with the ocean, allowing guests to transition from sunbathing to swimming with grace and ease, making the most of every sun-drenched moment.
Well-Equipped Galley & Bar
At the heart of the yacht, the well-appointed galley and adjacent bar area become a hub of culinary creation and refreshment. The ice maker ensures chilled beverages are always at hand, while the crew prepares exquisite meals. This space is where fresh ingredients are transformed into delectable dishes, and where evening cocktails are expertly mixed, flowing seamlessly into the outdoor dining area.
Accommodation
ALTESSE offers a tranquil retreat for up to eight guests across four elegantly appointed cabins. Each sanctuary is air-conditioned, featuring its own television for private viewing. The layout ensures privacy and comfort, with cabins designed to maximise natural light and offer serene views of the surrounding seascape.

The flexibility of dining options, from casual lunches to more formal evening meals, ensures every palate is catered to, perfectly complementing the stunning Caribbean setting.
While ALTESSE focuses on the restorative power of the sea, gentle wellness is intrinsically woven into the charter experience. The vast deck spaces are perfect for morning stretches with the sun rising, or for quiet meditation.

Stefan Hübbe
Germany · English, German
Stefan & Chloe: Sailing, working and loving together since 2007 Chloe and Stefan were liveaboard cruisers (sailing in the Pacific, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean and Caribbean) long before they started to run crewed charters in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2015. Captain Stefan (MScEng, RYA Yachtmaster, PADI Dive Instructor) was born in Berlin, Germany, and developed a love of the wind and sea as a teenager, sailing his first dingy at age 16 and is a keen surfer, kitesurfer and freediver. He got his master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, which led him to a successful career managing specialist multimillion dollar engineering projects in Europa and Australia. However, his first love was always the ocean, so he decided to return to Europe the slow way; sailing solo on his own yacht, over the Pacific Ocean...and managed to get as far as Bali before meeting Chloe; which was to change his life's course forever. After sailing all over the world together (over 45,000nm) for several years, it was time for a new project, so Stefan started designing and building luxury houseboats in Europe. 13 houseboats later, they decided it was a sailor’s life for them after all, and never looked back.
Chloe Chand
United Kingdom · English
Chef Chloe Chand (BA Hons, RYT Yoga Teacher, PADI Rescue Diver) was born in London, England and had a professional career in project management before developing an aversion to chairs and retrained to become a yoga instructor and teacher, working for various charities and universities. Her passion for education, the environment, spirituality and anthropology has led her all over the world – living everywhere from Barcelona to Borneo. Chloe has trained at the prestigious Ashburton Chef’s Academy in the UK and her cuisine favours fresh, locally-sourced ingredients to create healthy, rainbow-coloured and seriously flavourful recipes. European food is at the forefront of her culinary repertoire, as well as more exotic influences from her travels (including South East Asia, India and Morocco). Vegan menus are one of Chloe's specialities. Chloe and Stefan have a soulful love of the ocean and sailing, which they enjoy sharing with guests. Their warm, upbeat personalities, exceptional hospitality and joie de vivre is all part of what will make your vacation unforgettably wonderful! Relaxing in nature, yoga and watersports are at the forefront of what they offer. Unwind in a stunningly beautiful, carefree environment, leaving your ‘everyday’ behind you; sit back and soak up the sun with a Caribbean breeze in your hair; experience diving, free-diving, surfing, wake-boarding snorkelling and hiking – as well as other fun activities, such as scavenger hunts, murder mystery themed dinners, etc. Chloe & Stefan share time and space with guests and enjoy being personable, making you feel comfortable and at home on your sailing vacation. Playing guitar and stargazing over a nice glass of wine and good conversation is part of what they provide to create a wonderful holiday atmosphere and memories which last a lifetime. Aboard Altesse, most guests arrive as clients but leave as friends.Ashtanga yoga. In her free time she can be found practicing yoga, playing the guitar, island-hopping on the SUP or freediving.

ALTESSE: your questions, answered
The most common questions we receive about chartering ALTESSE. For anything specific to your dates, guest list or itinerary, message us directly.
What a yacht like ALTESSE costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on ALTESSE is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 17m 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.
