A closer look
The Helm: Command & Horizon
The helm station is a masterclass in ergonomic design, where polished chrome meets soft-touch leather. From this vantage, the captain commands the vessel's impressive 42-knot top speed, navigating the azure expanse with precision. Guests are welcome to observe the intricate dance of navigation, feeling the gentle thrum of the engines below, as the East Mediterranean unfolds before them. It's a space where technology and tradition converge, offering both exhilarating performance and tranquil contemplation of the horizon.
Aft Deck: Sun & Sea Breezes
The aft deck serves as the yacht's primary outdoor social hub, bathed in the warmth of the Mediterranean sun. Plush seating invites languid afternoons, perhaps with a chilled glass of rosé as the gentle lapping of waves provides a natural soundtrack. This open-air lounge is perfectly positioned for observing the dramatic coastlines or simply revelling in the refreshing sea breeze that accompanies every journey. It’s a versatile space, transitioning effortlessly from a serene breakfast spot to an evening cocktail setting.
Saloon: Cool & Connected Comfort
Step into the main saloon, a cool sanctuary from the midday sun, where air conditioning provides a welcome respite. The interior design speaks of understated luxury, with natural textures and a calming palette. Here, an integrated indoor audio system fills the space with chosen melodies, while the saloon TV offers a quiet evening's entertainment. Wi-Fi connectivity ensures you remain gently tethered to the world, though the allure of the sea often proves a more compelling distraction.
Foredeck: Panoramic Solitude
The foredeck offers an expansive area for sun worship and unparalleled panoramic views. Lying flat on the comfortable sun pads, one feels utterly connected to the vastness of the sea and sky, with nothing but the distant horizon in sight. It's an ideal spot for private moments, whether it's an early morning yoga session as the sun rises, or stargazing under the inky Mediterranean night sky, far from the light pollution of the shore.
Galley: Culinary Craftsmanship
Though compact, the galley is a model of efficiency and modern design, equipped to cater to every culinary whim. Our skilled crew member, adept at crafting delightful repasts, will transform fresh, local ingredients into exquisite dishes. From light, vibrant lunches to more substantial evening meals, every meal prepared here is a testament to thoughtful provisioning and culinary passion, enjoyed wherever you choose to dine on board.
Accommodation
BIG BALLOON thoughtfully accommodates four guests within two meticulously designed cabins. The master suite, positioned for optimal comfort and privacy, offers a serene retreat with a generously sized berth and ample storage for personal effects. The second cabin, equally inviting, provides comfortable sleeping arrangements for additional guests. Both spaces are infused with a calming aesthetic, featuring soft linens, subtle lighting, and climate control, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of Mediterranean exploration. The layout maximises both personal space and communal interaction, making her ideal for two couples or a small family.
Dining aboard BIG BALLOON is a relaxed affair, tailored to your preferences. Our dedicated crew member, skilled in culinary arts, prepares delightful meals using the freshest local produce sourced from the vibrant markets of the East Mediterranean. Whether it's a light al fresco lunch enjoyed on the aft deck with the sea breeze as your companion, or a more intimate dinner served in the cool comfort of the saloon, each meal is a personalised experience, savoured at your leisure.
While BIG BALLOON focuses on the thrill of the open sea, moments of personal rejuvenation are readily available. The sundeck provides ample space for quiet contemplation or gentle stretching under the Mediterranean sun. The refreshing embrace of the sea itself, easily accessed from the swim platform, serves as the ultimate natural wellness therapy, invigorating the senses with every dip.
For those eager to engage with the aquatic environment, BIG BALLOON comes equipped with a pair of exhilarating Seabobs. These powerful underwater scooters allow for effortless gliding beneath the surface, offering a unique perspective of the East Mediterranean's vibrant marine life. Spend hours exploring hidden coves and shallow reefs, adding an element of playful adventure to your secluded charter experience.

What a yacht like BIG BALLOON costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on BIG BALLOON is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 15m 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.
