A closer look
Aft Deck Lounge
The aft deck forms the heart of open-air living, a broad expanse where morning coffee is savoured as the sun climbs, painting the sea in hues of rose and gold. Deep, comfortable seating invites languid afternoons with a paperback, or lively evening conversations under a canopy of stars. It's a space designed for connection, where the gentle lapping of waves against the hull is the only soundtrack.
Foredeck Trampolines
Forward, the twin trampolines beckon, a playful extension of the deck. Here, the sensation of the ocean spray is immediate and invigorating. Guests stretch out under the sun, the rhythmic sway of the yacht a natural lullaby. It's a prime spot for dolphin spotting at dawn, or simply feeling the exhilarating rush of wind as the catamaran cuts gracefully through the waves.
Saloon & Helm
Stepping inside, the saloon offers a cool, panoramic refuge. Expansive windows frame the passing seascape, bringing the outside in without compromise. Adjacent, the interior helm station provides a glimpse into the art of navigation, a quiet hum of modern technology guiding the journey. It's a versatile space for intimate gatherings or simply unwinding in air-conditioned comfort.
Swim Platform Access
The integrated swim platform provides effortless access to the inviting turquoise waters. A gentle descent leads directly into the sea, perfect for a refreshing dip or launching the array of water toys. It’s a practical yet elegant design, blurring the lines between yacht and ocean, ensuring every aquatic whim is easily indulged.
Galley & Bar
The well-appointed galley, a hub of culinary creativity, seamlessly connects to a compact yet functional bar area. Here, the crew craft refreshing beverages and delectable canapés, always within easy reach. The aroma of freshly prepared meals often wafts through, setting the scene for delightful dining experiences, whether indoors or al fresco.
Accommodation
BABALU 51 boasts six well-appointed cabins, providing comfortable sanctuary for up to eight guests. Each cabin is a haven of understated comfort, designed for restful nights at anchor or under sail. The layout is intelligently configured, offering privacy and personal space, with ample storage for belongings. Soft linens and thoughtful lighting create an inviting atmosphere, ensuring every guest feels perfectly at home, surrounded by the gentle embrace of the sea.
Culinary experiences aboard BABALU 51 are a highlight, crafted to reflect the fresh, vibrant flavours of the East Mediterranean. Whether it's a sun-drenched breakfast on the aft deck, a light lunch served al fresco, or a more formal evening meal in the saloon, each dish is prepared with care. The chef sources local ingredients where possible, creating a menu that is both delicious and tailored to individual preferences, complemented by a selection of fine wines.
While BABALU 51 doesn't feature a dedicated spa, the yacht itself is a sanctuary for well-being. The expansive decks provide ample space for morning yoga or quiet meditation as the sun rises. The refreshing embrace of the sea during a swim from the platform, or the gentle rocking at anchor, naturally soothes the mind and body. Air conditioning throughout ensures a comfortable climate for relaxation.
The water toy locker aboard BABALU 51 is generously stocked for aquatic adventures. Guests can glide across the surface on paddleboards, experience the thrill of wakeboarding, or carve through the waves on adult or child water skis. For moments of pure relaxation, an inflatable floating island offers a tranquil spot to drift and soak up the sun, all easily accessed from the swim platform.
