A closer look

On Board

The Aft Deck Sanctuary

The expansive aft deck serves as the heart of outdoor living, seamlessly blending dining and relaxation. Beneath the protective canopy, a grand table invites leisurely al fresco meals, the gentle sway of the ocean providing a natural rhythm. Beyond, plush sun pads beckon, offering a prime position for soaking in the Mediterranean sun, perhaps with a cool drink from the outdoor bar, as the wake unfurls behind in a shimmering ribbon.

On Board

Foredeck Lounge

Discover a private haven on the foredeck, where the ocean stretches out endlessly before you. Cushioned seating offers an idyllic spot for morning coffee, brewed fresh on board, or an evening aperitif as the stars begin to pepper the twilight sky. The sensation of the sea breeze, unhindered by superstructure, provides a profound connection to the surrounding environment, a truly immersive experience.

On Board

Saloon Serenity

The main saloon, a bright and airy sanctuary, provides a cool respite from the midday sun. Panoramic windows frame ever-changing seascapes, while the sophisticated indoor audio system sets the perfect ambience. Settle into the comfortable seating with a good book, or gather for an evening of conversation and enjoy a film on the local TV, all within an environment of understated elegance.

On Board

Sundeck Vista

Ascend to the sundeck, ARMEN’s crowning glory, where unobstructed views stretch to the horizon. This elevated platform is designed for ultimate relaxation, offering an expansive area for sun worshippers to recline on plush sun pads. With the gentle hum of the yacht beneath and the vast expanse of sky above, it is the quintessential spot for quiet contemplation or shared moments of pure bliss.

On Board

The Bathing Platform

A gracious bathing platform extends from the stern, offering effortless access to the crystal-clear waters of the West Mediterranean. Here, the outdoor shower provides a refreshing rinse after a swim, while the platform itself becomes the launchpad for aquatic adventures or simply a place to dangle one's feet in the cool embrace of the sea, feeling the gentle undulations beneath.

Accommodation

ARMEN comfortably accommodates eight guests across four meticulously appointed cabins, each a private haven of calm. The layout ensures privacy and comfort, with thoughtful design touches throughout. The primary cabin, a sanctuary of peace, features its own television, offering a personal retreat for quiet evenings. Each space is air-conditioned, guaranteeing a restorative sleep after days spent exploring, and the intelligent use of space provides ample storage for personal effects, ensuring an uncluttered and serene environment for all on board.
