A closer look

Aft Deck Al Fresco
The aft deck presents a captivating setting for morning coffees as the coastline awakens or evening cocktails under a canopy of stars. The gentle hum of the ocean provides a natural soundtrack, and the expansive views invite contemplation. Here, the subtle sea breeze carries the scent of salt and adventure, making every moment spent in this open-air lounge a pure delight. It’s a space designed for easy conversation and lingering over exquisite meals prepared just for you.

Sun-Kissed Foredeck
Forward, the yacht offers a generous expanse of sun pads, perfect for soaking up the Californian warmth. This is your private sanctuary for uninterrupted sunbathing, a good book, or simply watching the horizon stretch into infinity. The gentle motion of the yacht and the vastness of the ocean create an unparalleled sense of freedom, far removed from the everyday. Feel the sun on your skin and let the rhythmic sway lull you into a state of blissful repose.

Main Saloon Elegance
Step inside to a main saloon that exudes a warm, inviting ambience. Large windows frame panoramic vistas, blurring the lines between indoor comfort and outdoor splendour. Plush seating arrangements invite guests to unwind, perhaps with a freshly brewed coffee from the on-board machine. The interior, thoughtfully designed by Ed Monk, offers a sense of understated luxury, where every detail contributes to a feeling of home at sea.

Seamless Swim Platform
The integrated swim platform provides effortless access to the refreshing ocean waters. Whether you’re plunging in for a morning dip, launching a paddleboard, or simply dipping your toes in the cool Pacific, this area is designed for seamless connection with the sea. It’s also the perfect launchpad for exploring hidden coves or simply enjoying the sensation of being truly immersed in the marine environment.

Galley Delights
While not a guest space, the yacht's galley is the heart of culinary creation. Equipped with a coffee machine and ice maker, it's where the crew craft delightful refreshments and meals. The scent of freshly brewed coffee in the morning or the clink of ice in a sundowner glass speaks to the effortless luxury provided. It’s a testament to the meticulous planning that ensures every desire is anticipated and met with grace.
Accommodation
Below deck, three beautifully appointed cabins await, offering a tranquil retreat after a day of coastal exploration. The master suite, positioned for privacy, features a spacious layout and a serene atmosphere, ensuring restorative sleep. Two additional guest cabins provide comfortable berths for friends or family, each designed with an emphasis on calm and comfort. The layout ensures ample personal space for all six guests, allowing for both shared moments and quiet reflection throughout the charter. Each cabin is a haven of understated luxury, promising peaceful nights at anchor.



Culinary experiences on board are a celebration of fresh, local ingredients, expertly prepared by your dedicated crew. Whether it's a casual BBQ on the aft deck under the stars or a more formal dinner in the elegant saloon, every meal is tailored to your preferences. The aroma of freshly grilled seafood mingles with the sea air, creating an unforgettable sensory experience. Enjoy delightful breakfasts as the sun rises, leisurely lunches with ocean views, and exquisite dinners that perfectly complement your West Coast itinerary.
While not boasting a dedicated spa, the yacht promotes a profound sense of well-being through its serene environment and thoughtful amenities. The gentle motion of the sea, combined with the quiet efficiency of the stabilisers, ensures a smooth and calming journey. Ample sun pads invite moments of quiet contemplation and sun worship, while the swim platform offers direct access to the invigorating ocean. This vessel offers a natural wellness retreat, where the restorative power of the sea is always at your fingertips.
The ocean is your playground with a selection of water toys designed for active enjoyment. Two paddleboards offer a wonderful way to explore tranquil coves and hidden inlets at your own pace, providing both gentle exercise and unique perspectives of the coastline. For those who enjoy a bit of sport, light fishing gear is available, inviting you to cast a line and try your hand at catching dinner. The generous swim platform ensures effortless entry and exit from the water, enhancing all aquatic adventures.

What a yacht like ANTICIPATION costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on ANTICIPATION is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 25m 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.
