A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The aft deck presents an inviting tableau for morning coffees or starlit suppers. A polished teak table, comfortably seating all eight guests, is shaded by the flybridge overhang, offering a cool respite from the midday sun. The gentle murmur of the sea provides a natural soundtrack, while the expansive view out to the stern beckons, promising endless horizons and picturesque anchorages. It’s a space designed for effortless socialising and quiet contemplation, blending seamlessly with the surrounding seascape.
Flybridge Panorama
Ascend to the flybridge, a privileged vantage point offering uninterrupted 360-degree vistas. Here, comfortable sunpads invite leisurely afternoons spent basking in the Mediterranean warmth, perhaps with a chilled aperitif in hand. The helm station, discreetly positioned, allows guests to observe the captain’s navigation with a sense of connection to the open water. This elevated sanctuary is perfect for sunset cocktails, where the sky’s fiery hues paint a masterpiece above the shimmering sea.
Salon's Elegant Embrace
Step into the main salon, where a harmonious blend of light woods and plush furnishings creates an atmosphere of understated elegance. Large panoramic windows frame ever-changing seascapes, bathing the interior in natural light. A generous L-shaped sofa, adorned with bespoke cushions, offers a comfortable haven for conversation or an evening film. The air conditioning ensures a consistently comfortable environment, making this space a cool oasis after a day of sun-soaked adventure.
Foredeck Solarium
The foredeck is dedicated to unadulterated sun worship. Here, an expansive sunpad area invites guests to stretch out and soak up the glorious Mediterranean rays. Far removed from the bustle of the aft deck, it offers a private, serene space for quiet reading or simply enjoying the ocean breeze as the yacht glides through the water. The gentle sway of the vessel provides a soothing rhythm, making it an ideal spot for peaceful relaxation.
Swim Platform Access
The integrated swim platform acts as a vital extension of the yacht, providing effortless access to the crystal-clear waters below. This broad, stable area is perfect for launching water toys, assisting with tender transfers, or simply sitting at the water's edge, trailing your fingers in the refreshing sea. It’s the gateway to aquatic adventures, a functional yet inviting space that connects you directly with the marine environment.
Accommodation
Four beautifully appointed cabins provide restful sanctuaries for up to eight guests. The full-beam master suite, often situated amidships, offers a spacious retreat with a private ensuite bathroom, generous storage, and large windows that invite the morning light. Two double cabins and a twin cabin complete the guest accommodation, each thoughtfully designed with comfort and privacy in mind. Fine linens, subtle lighting, and ample space ensure a tranquil night's sleep, preparing guests for another day of Mediterranean exploration.
Culinary delights are a cornerstone of the charter experience, with a skilled chef crafting bespoke menus to suit every palate. From vibrant breakfasts enjoyed on the aft deck to sophisticated dinners served in the elegant salon, each meal is a celebration of fresh, local ingredients sourced from the West Mediterranean's bountiful offerings. Whether it's a casual buffet of freshly caught seafood or a multi-course gourmet experience, dining on board is an event in itself, complemented by a curated selection of fine wines and spirits.
While not boasting a dedicated spa, the yacht offers ample opportunities for rejuvenation. The expansive sunpads on the flybridge and foredeck provide perfect spots for quiet reflection and soaking in the revitalising sun. The gentle rocking of the vessel, combined with the fresh sea air, promotes a natural sense of well-being. Guests can find their own rhythm of relaxation, whether it's an invigorating swim from the swim platform or a peaceful hour with a book in a secluded corner.
The ocean becomes your playground with a well-stocked arsenal of water toys. Paddleboards offer a serene way to explore hidden coves, while Seabobs provide exhilarating underwater propulsion for effortless snorkeling. For those seeking a thrill, the towable tube promises laughter and splashes across the waves. Enthusiasts can hone their skills on the wakeboard, pulled by the yacht's powerful tender, ensuring endless hours of aquatic amusement for all ages and activity levels.

What a yacht like BISCAYNE costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on BISCAYNE is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 23m 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.
