The Sundeck's Embrace

Ascend to the sundeck and feel the warmth of the Mediterranean sun on your skin. Here, cushioned loungers invite leisurely afternoons spent engrossed in a novel, or simply gazing at the endless horizon. A gentle breeze carries the scent of the sea, while the quiet hum of the yacht’s passage provides a soothing soundtrack. Evenings transform this space into an al fresco lounge, perfect for aperitifs under a canopy of stars, far from the shore's distractions.

Saloon: A Timeless Retreat

Aft Deck Al Fresco

The aft deck serves as a sophisticated open-air living space, perfectly positioned for enjoying the yacht’s wake or the vibrant energy of a bustling port. Sheltered from the sun, it’s an ideal spot for morning coffee, a light lunch, or evening cocktails with friends. The gentle sway of the vessel and the panoramic views create an idyllic setting for sharing stories and making lasting memories under the Mediterranean sky.

Dining

Culinary delights are a cornerstone of any charter. A dedicated chef crafts bespoke menus, drawing inspiration from the fresh, vibrant flavours of the West Mediterranean. Meals are a celebration, whether enjoyed al fresco on the aft deck with the sea breeze as your companion, or in the elegant interior dining saloon. Each dish is a testament to quality ingredients and skilled preparation, tailored to individual preferences and dietary needs, promising a gastronomic journey as memorable as the destinations themselves.

Wellness

While a dedicated spa or gym is not present, the yacht offers a holistic sense of wellbeing through its connection to the sea. Stabilizers ensure a smooth, comfortable passage, minimising motion. The refreshing embrace of the Mediterranean beckons for invigorating swims directly from the swim platform, a natural and exhilarating form of rejuvenation. Enjoy the simple luxury of fresh air, warm sun, and the soothing rhythm of the ocean.

Toys & Tenders

The water beckons with an exciting array of toys. Guests can feel the exhilaration of gliding across the surface on adult water skis, or exploring hidden coves aboard the agile Waverunners. For those seeking a quieter, more skill-based pursuit, a windsurfer offers a dynamic way to master the elements. The addition of light fishing gear invites moments of peaceful angling, promising fresh catches and engaging activity for all ages.

Ownership economics

What a yacht like AVA costs to own — not just to charter

A charter week on AVA is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 40m 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.
