A closer look

On Board

The Aft Deck Sanctuary

Beneath the Mediterranean sun, the aft deck unfolds as a private haven. Stretch out on the plush sun pads, the gentle sway of the ocean a lullaby. The outdoor shower offers a refreshing rinse after a swim, while the integrated sound system provides a curated soundtrack to your afternoon siestas. This space is perfectly designed for basking in the warmth and savouring the panoramic views as the coastline drifts by.

On Board

The Saloon's Embrace

Below deck, the saloon offers a cool, inviting respite. The air conditioning hums softly, contrasting with the warmth outside. Rich timber finishes and carefully chosen fabrics create a sophisticated yet comfortable environment. Gather for conversation, lose yourself in a book, or simply enjoy the quiet luxury. The indoor audio system and MP3 music server allow you to tailor the atmosphere to your mood, day or night.

On Board

Seamless Swim Platform Access

The integrated swim platform invites direct engagement with the cerulean sea. Effortlessly descend into the refreshing embrace of the Mediterranean for a morning dip or an afternoon cool-down. It serves as a practical launchpad for water toys and provides an ideal spot to simply sit at the water's edge, watching the marine life below, an ice-cold drink from the onboard maker never far from hand.

On Board

The Foredeck Lounge

Beyond the mast, the foredeck presents another expanse of sun pads, offering an alternative vantage point for soaking up the sun. Here, the sensation of being truly at sea is amplified, with nothing but the horizon before you. It's a prime spot for private moments, perhaps with a coffee from the onboard machine as the day begins, or for stargazing under a canvas of endless night.

Thoughtful Amenities

Every detail has been considered for guest comfort and convenience. From the practical water maker, ensuring a constant supply of fresh water, to the light fishing gear for a casual afternoon pursuit, and the dedicated Wi-Fi for staying connected (or choosing not to). The inclusion of a coffee machine and ice maker elevates the everyday, turning simple pleasures into moments of indulgence across your journey.

Accommodation

Across three well-appointed cabins, this yacht comfortably sleeps six guests. The master suite offers a private sanctuary, featuring its own television for moments of quiet retreat. Each cabin is a testament to thoughtful design, with ample storage and soft furnishings, ensuring restful nights after days spent exploring. The layout maximises privacy for all guests, with individual air conditioning controls allowing for personalised comfort throughout the vessel. Expect a serene and uncluttered environment, where every detail contributes to a sense of calm and escape.
