A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The expansive aft deck serves as the heart of outdoor living. Beneath the shade of the bimini, a polished teak table invites lingering breakfasts as the morning light dances on the water. Later, it transforms into an elegant setting for candlelit dinners, the gentle sway of the yacht providing a rhythmic backdrop to conversations. Cushioned seating offers panoramic views, perfect for watching the sunset paint the horizon in hues of orange and purple, a cool drink in hand.
The Saloon's Embrace
Descending into the saloon reveals an interior of refined comfort. Rich wood panelling, expertly crafted, exudes a warmth that immediately soothes. Plush sofas, upholstered in natural fabrics, create an inviting space for quiet contemplation or convivial gatherings. Large windows allow natural light to flood the area, offering glimpses of the passing seascape, while the air conditioning ensures a perpetually comfortable climate, even on the warmest Mediterranean afternoons.
Foredeck Sanctuary
Beyond the mast, the foredeck offers a secluded haven. Generous sun pads beckon for hours of blissful sunbathing, cooled by the refreshing sea spray as the yacht glides through the waves. This open expanse is also ideal for morning yoga or simply stretching out with a good book, far from the hustle and bustle. The sensation of the wind in your hair and the vastness of the ocean stretching before you creates a profound sense of freedom.
Helm Station Views
For those with a fascination for navigation, the helm station offers an engaging vantage point. Observe the skilled crew at work, charting courses and trimming sails with practiced precision. From this elevated position, the horizon stretches endlessly, providing unparalleled views of the coastline and open sea. It's a place where the romance of sailing truly comes alive, offering a nuanced understanding of the vessel's journey.
Galley's Culinary Heart
Though often unseen by guests, the galley is the vibrant engine of onboard delight. Here, the chef orchestrates culinary magic, transforming the freshest local ingredients into exquisite meals. The subtle aromas of freshly baked bread or simmering sauces occasionally waft through the yacht, hinting at the gastronomic pleasures to come. It’s a testament to the crew's dedication to providing a truly indulgent experience.
Accommodation
CLASS IV accommodates eight guests across four beautifully appointed cabins, each a private sanctuary of peace and comfort. The master suite, typically located forward, offers a generous layout with ample storage and an en-suite bathroom. Guest cabins, often comprising doubles and twins, are designed with meticulous attention to detail, featuring fine linens and a serene colour palette. Each cabin benefits from individual air conditioning controls, ensuring a perfect sleeping environment after a day spent exploring the sun-drenched shores of the West Mediterranean.
Dining aboard CLASS IV is a celebration of fresh, regional flavours, expertly prepared by our onboard chef. Each meal is a bespoke creation, tailored to your preferences and dietary requirements, utilising the finest local produce sourced from vibrant Mediterranean markets. Whether it’s a leisurely breakfast on the aft deck, a light seafood lunch enjoyed amidst stunning coastal views, or an elegant dinner served under a canopy of stars, every culinary moment is a refined experience. Paired with a curated selection of wines, these meals become cherished memories of your charter.
While CLASS IV focuses on the pure joy of sailing, moments of personal rejuvenation are always at hand. The gentle motion of the yacht itself is inherently calming, a natural balm for the soul. Find a quiet corner on deck for a meditative moment, or simply bask in the revitalising sea air. The sunpads offer a perfect space for stretching or light exercise, allowing you to maintain your routines while immersed in the serene beauty of the West Mediterranean.
Though sailing remains the primary allure, CLASS IV ensures ample opportunity for aquatic exploration. The yacht carries a tender, allowing seamless transfers to secluded coves and charming coastal villages that are otherwise inaccessible. For those who wish to immerse themselves in the crystal-clear waters, snorkelling equipment is available, inviting you to discover the vibrant marine life beneath the surface. Each excursion from the yacht is an invitation to discover the hidden gems of the Mediterranean.

What a yacht like CLASS IV costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on CLASS IV 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.
