A closer look

The Aft Deck Sanctuary
Beneath the Mediterranean sun, the aft deck transforms into a private haven. Plush cushions invite languid afternoons with a captivating novel, the gentle rocking of the waves a soothing lullaby. As evening descends, it becomes the perfect stage for sundowners, the air alive with the scent of salt and the soft murmur of conversation. This open-air lounge, sheltered yet connected to the vast seascape, is where memories are forged against a backdrop of breathtaking sunsets.

Saloon's Timeless Comfort
Below deck, the saloon offers a cool, elegant retreat. Natural light streams through the portholes, illuminating polished timber and inviting seating arrangements. It’s a space designed for convivial dining, a lively card game, or simply unwinding in air-conditioned comfort after a day of exploring. The tasteful décor, refined and understated, creates an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication, a true home on the water.

Helm Station Command
Feel the thrill of the open sea from the helm station. With the wind in your hair and the horizon stretching endlessly before you, this vantage point offers an exhilarating sense of command. Observe the captain's expert navigation or simply revel in the panoramic views, charting a course through the azure waters of the West Mediterranean. It’s a place where the journey itself becomes an integral part of your adventure.

Foredeck Sunbathing
The expansive foredeck beckons for moments of pure relaxation. Spread out on the sunpads, feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin and the gentle spray of the ocean. This unencumbered space is ideal for soaking in the breathtaking coastal vistas, enjoying a quiet moment of contemplation, or perhaps spotting dolphins playing in the yacht's wake. It's a sanctuary for sun-worshippers and dreamers alike.

Galley's Culinary Heart
The compact yet perfectly appointed galley is the heart of the yacht's culinary experience. Here, your dedicated chef crafts exquisite meals, from fresh, local produce to international delicacies, all tailored to your preferences. The aromas of gourmet cooking will occasionally waft through the air, hinting at the delightful repasts to come, whether served al fresco or in the comfortable saloon.
Accommodation
The yacht provides comfortable accommodation for up to six guests across three well-appointed cabins. The layout includes a serene master suite, offering privacy and a tranquil environment for restful nights. Each cabin is a thoughtfully designed haven, featuring ample storage and inviting berths, ensuring a restorative sleep after days filled with sun and sea. The tasteful décor throughout reflects a calming aesthetic, creating personal sanctuaries for every guest. With air conditioning in every cabin, comfort is assured regardless of the outside temperature, contributing to an utterly relaxed charter experience.



Culinary delights are a cornerstone of the charter experience. Your dedicated chef, with a flair for Mediterranean flavours and beyond, crafts bespoke menus daily, utilising the freshest local ingredients sourced from each enchanting port of call. Enjoy leisurely breakfasts on the aft deck, light lunches served al fresco under the sun, and elegant dinners in the saloon or beneath a canopy of stars. Every meal is a celebration, perfectly paired with fine wines and impeccable service, transforming dining into a memorable event.
While not boasting a dedicated spa, the very essence of sailing fosters a profound sense of wellbeing. The constant connection to the sea, the gentle rocking motion, and the revitalising sea air create an inherently therapeutic environment. Find your personal zen on the foredeck, immersed in a good book, or simply breathe in the refreshing maritime breeze. The yacht provides a tranquil escape, allowing for complete mental and physical rejuvenation.
The tender is your gateway to secluded coves and charming coastal villages, allowing for effortless exploration beyond the yacht. For those seeking active pursuits, a selection of snorkelling equipment invites you to discover the vibrant underwater world of the West Mediterranean. Glide through crystal-clear waters, observing colourful marine life, or simply enjoy a refreshing dip. The focus here is on serene enjoyment and connection with the natural environment.

What a yacht like BLUE OYSTER costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on BLUE OYSTER is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 18m 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.
