A closer look

On Board

The Aft Deck Lounge

Beneath the canvas of a boundless sky, the aft deck unfolds as a sanctuary of open-air living. Here, the scent of salt spray mingles with the subtle aroma of teak, while the gentle sway of the yacht provides a natural rhythm. Sink into plush cushions, a chilled drink in hand, and watch the Caribbean seascape drift by. This is the stage for languid afternoons, for conversation that flows as freely as the ocean breeze, and for the quiet contemplation of horizon lines.

On Board

The Main Saloon's Embrace

Step into the main saloon, where light pours through generous windows, illuminating an interior of refined comfort. The palette is one of understated elegance, with polished woods and soft furnishings creating an inviting atmosphere. This is a space designed for convivial gatherings, perhaps a pre-dinner cocktail, or a quiet hour spent with a captivating book. The indoor audio system offers a curated soundtrack to your journey, enhancing the sense of sophisticated repose.

On Board

Foredeck Sundeck

At the bow, a sprawling sundeck invites uninhibited relaxation. Here, the sun is at its most generous, offering a perfect expanse for soaking up the warmth, perhaps with the gentle mist of a passing wave. The sensation of the yacht gliding through water is most pronounced here, a truly immersive experience. It’s an ideal spot for morning yoga as the sun ascends, or for stargazing under a velvet Caribbean night, far from any light pollution.

On Board

Swim Platform Access

The swim platform offers seamless communion with the ocean. This extended area provides effortless entry into the warm Caribbean waters, whether for a refreshing dip or to launch into an afternoon of aquatic adventure. The outdoor shower, conveniently located, ensures a comfortable transition from the sea back to the deck, rinsing away salt and sand with ease. It's the gateway to spontaneous marine exploration.

On Board

The Helm Station

While primarily a crew domain, glimpsing the helm station offers a fascinating insight into the yacht's mastery of the seas. The intricate array of navigation equipment hums with quiet efficiency, a testament to modern marine engineering. From this vantage point, one appreciates the vastness of the ocean and the precise control that guides the vessel, a silent promise of safe passage through the Caribbean's captivating waters.

Accommodation

AURELIUS welcomes six guests across three meticulously appointed cabins, each a private haven of tranquility. The master suite, a sanctuary of space and light, features expansive views and a serene ambiance. Two additional guest cabins provide equally luxurious retreats, all designed with a refined coastal aesthetic. Fine linens and carefully chosen textures ensure restful nights, preparing guests for days filled with Caribbean discovery. Each cabin is a testament to thoughtful design, offering privacy and comfort in equal measure, ensuring a restorative experience for all aboard.

CHEF

Alissa-Christina Smith (also known as Alissa)

Whilst I was born in Germany, I was lucky enough to grow up in Southwest England in Cornwall on the South coast. The area I grew up in is teeming with small holdings, tiny hamlets and fantastic village pubs. My younger sister and I were lucky enough to grow with our own horse on our doorstep in a sleepy valley. After school I went to a college to do my A level and cultivate my interests in history and current affairs, but I choose not to continue to university and travelled and worked for the best part of 7 years, starting in India, where I backpacked alone, through the north of the country, volunteering and sampling the amazing food. At 21 years old, after a short time at home, I decided to embark on a career on the high seas as a stewardess on sailing boats. I got my first position in France and, that autumn I was lucky enough to cross to the Caribbean on the same boat as the chef. I have never looked back and my interest n the culinary arts has grown from there. Recently, I took my first formal chefs’ qualification at the prestigious culinary school; Ashburton. I have worked with in and around the hospitality and service sector for close to 20 years. I am passionate about sourcing quality healthy food as locally as possible for both the sake of the environment and our health. I speak fluent German as well as English and am always trying to improve my French and Spanish.
