This expansive space, directly connected to the main saloon, fosters a seamless flow between indoor comfort and the invigorating sea air, perfect for lively conversations or quiet contemplation.
Flybridge Lounge & Helm

The helm station, integrated seamlessly into this social space, allows guests to observe the expert crew navigating, offering a captivating insight into the art of sailing. It’s an ideal vantage point for spotting dolphins or simply watching the coastline drift by.

Plush seating arrangements provide a comfortable spot for reading, card games, or simply unwinding in air-conditioned comfort.

Foredeck Sundeck
The foredeck is a favoured spot for those seeking unadulterated sun worship. Two vast trampolines beckon for lounging, offering a unique sensation of being suspended over the crystal-clear waters below. This open expanse provides ample room for morning yoga sessions or simply stretching out with a good book, feeling the gentle sea breeze on your skin. It’s a private retreat for soaking up the Mediterranean sun, away from the hum of daily life.
Swim Platform Access
The integrated swim platform lowers gracefully to meet the sea, offering effortless access to the inviting waters of the East Mediterranean. An outdoor shower is conveniently located here, perfect for rinsing off after a refreshing dip. This area serves as the primary hub for water activities, making transitions from sunbathing to swimming, or launching water toys, incredibly smooth and enjoyable. It’s the gateway to endless aquatic adventures.
Accommodation
Four thoughtfully designed cabins provide restful sanctuaries for up to eight guests. Each cabin is a private haven, featuring individual air conditioning and ample storage, ensuring comfort and privacy. The layout is configured to maximise space and light, with portholes offering glimpses of the passing seascape. While there isn't a dedicated master suite, all cabins are appointed to an equally high standard, ensuring every guest enjoys a luxurious retreat. The gentle motion of the yacht, coupled with the sound of the sea, promises deep, restorative sleep after days filled with exploration.
Culinary delights await, prepared by a skilled chef who tailors menus to individual preferences, sourcing the finest local ingredients from each port of call. Enjoy vibrant Greek salads bursting with flavour, freshly caught seafood grilled to perfection, and delectable local specialities. Dining can be an elegant affair in the main saloon or a breezy, starlit experience on the aft deck, where the sea air enhances every taste. From hearty breakfasts to sophisticated evening meals, each dish is a celebration of the Mediterranean's rich gastronomic heritage.
While AZUL does not feature a dedicated spa or gym, the entire yacht encourages a sense of wellbeing. The expansive deck spaces are ideal for personal yoga or stretching with the sunrise, invigorated by the fresh sea air. A refreshing dip from the swim platform into the cool, clear waters of secluded coves provides natural hydrotherapy, while the gentle rocking of the yacht ensures a tranquil, restorative sleep, promoting overall rejuvenation.
The azure waters of the East Mediterranean are your playground, with a delightful array of water toys at your disposal. Glide across the surface on a paddleboard, explore underwater marvels with a Seabob, or enjoy exhilarating rides on the towable tube. For those seeking a thrill, adult water skis are available, allowing you to carve through the waves. The convenient swim platform makes launching and retrieving these toys effortless, ensuring maximum fun in the sun.

AZUL: your questions, answered
The most common questions we receive about chartering AZUL. For anything specific to your dates, guest list or itinerary, message us directly.
What a yacht like AZUL costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on AZUL 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.
