A closer look
The Sun-Kissed Aft Deck
The aft deck serves as the heart of social gatherings, bathed in the gentle warmth of the Mediterranean sun. Plush seating invites languid conversations over morning coffee, while the scent of a sizzling BBQ promises delectable al fresco dining as twilight descends. This open-air haven seamlessly connects to the main saloon, blurring the lines between indoor comfort and the invigorating sea breeze, creating an effortless flow for relaxation and entertainment.
Panoramic Saloon Comfort
Within the main saloon, vast windows frame the ever-changing seascape, transforming every journey into a moving masterpiece. The sophisticated indoor audio system and Satellite TV provide entertainment options, while the carefully chosen textures and lighting create an atmosphere of refined tranquility. It’s a space designed for quiet contemplation, lively discussions, or simply unwinding with a good book while the world drifts by outside.
Bridge Deck Vistas
Ascend to the bridge deck and feel the exhilaration of unrestricted views across the cobalt waters. This elevated vantage point offers a sense of command and unparalleled photo opportunities. Whether you’re observing the captain navigate coastal passages or simply enjoying a refreshing drink as the sun dips below the horizon, this area provides a unique perspective on your East Mediterranean adventure, a truly elevated experience.
Foredeck Serenity
The foredeck is a private escape, perfect for those seeking moments of peace and solitude. Here, the gentle lapping of waves against the hull provides a soothing soundtrack. Imagine stretching out on comfortable sunpads, feeling the warm sea air on your skin, and losing yourself in the vast expanse of the ocean. It’s an idyllic spot for sunbathing, stargazing, or simply enjoying the quietude away from the main activity.
Connected Cruising
Even in the most secluded anchorages, stay connected with the yacht's reliable Wi-Fi. Share your stunning holiday moments with loved ones, catch up on emails, or stream your favourite music playlists from anywhere on board. This seamless connectivity ensures that while you're immersed in the beauty of the East Mediterranean, you remain effortlessly linked to the world, should you choose to be.
Accommodation
BY MY SIDE welcomes eight guests within four beautifully appointed cabins, each a private haven of comfort and style. The layout is thoughtfully designed to maximise space and privacy, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of exploration. Each cabin boasts meticulous finishes and ample storage, creating a serene retreat. The configuration allows for flexible arrangements, catering perfectly to families or groups of friends, all while maintaining an intimate atmosphere throughout the vessel.
Culinary delights are a cornerstone of the BY MY SIDE experience. The talented chef crafts bespoke menus, from vibrant breakfasts enjoyed on the aft deck to sophisticated evening meals under a canopy of stars. Whether it's freshly caught local seafood grilled to perfection on the BBQ, or delicate regional specialities, each dish is a celebration of flavour. Dining can be an elegant affair in the main saloon or a casual, sun-drenched feast al fresco, always tailored to your desires.
While BY MY SIDE focuses on the pure joy of yachting, the integrated Air Conditioning ensures a consistently comfortable internal climate, promoting a sense of well-being even on the warmest days. The expansive deck spaces invite moments of quiet reflection and gentle movement, providing a natural setting for relaxation. The rhythm of the sea itself offers a profound sense of calm, allowing guests to truly unwind and reconnect with their inner peace.
While BY MY SIDE offers a sanctuary of relaxation, the clear waters of the East Mediterranean beckon for aquatic adventures. Although specific toys aren't listed, the yacht's design and generous platform hint at easy access to the sea for swimming and exploring. Imagine diving into the turquoise depths directly from the transom or discovering hidden coves along the coastline. The crew will be on hand to facilitate any planned water activities, ensuring safe and enjoyable experiences.

What a yacht like BY MY SIDE costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on BY MY SIDE 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.
