A closer look
The Aft Deck Lounge
Step onto the aft deck, where the hum of the engines becomes a gentle thrum beneathfoot. Here, a polished teak table invites leisurely breakfasts as the African sun climbs, or evening cocktails as the sky blazes with colour. The cushioned seating, upholstered in marine-grade fabric, offers a comfortable perch for observing the ever-changing seascape, the salty spray occasionally dusting the air as the yacht cuts through the waves. It’s a prime vantage point for spotting playful dolphins or the distant silhouette of a dhow.
The Helm Station
Within the climate-controlled salon, the helm station stands as the command centre, a symphony of gleaming chrome and intuitive displays. Guests are welcome to observe the captain’s skilled navigation, perhaps even charting a course on the large-format screens. The panoramic windows forward offer an uninterrupted vista of the approaching coastline, transforming the journey into an immersive experience. The quiet efficiency of the instruments and the focused demeanour of the crew create a sense of secure anticipation for the adventures ahead.
The Main Salon Retreat
Descend into the main salon, a sanctuary of cool air and refined comfort. Soft, natural light filters through the windows, illuminating the rich wood panelling and plush seating. This is a space designed for quiet contemplation or intimate conversation, a respite from the midday heat. A small, well-stocked bar offers refreshing beverages, and a discreet entertainment system can provide a backdrop of calming music or a film for a relaxed evening in. The air conditioning hums softly, maintaining a perfect ambient temperature.
The Foredeck Sun Pad
Forward, beyond the anchor windlass, lies the sun pad – a prime location for soaking in the African rays. Plush, custom-fitted cushions invite guests to recline, perhaps with a book or simply to close their eyes and listen to the rhythmic lapping of water against the hull. With the wind in your hair and the vast expanse of the ocean before you, it’s a place of pure, unadulterated relaxation and an ideal spot for stargazing after dusk, far from any light pollution.
The Compact Galley
Though compact, the galley is a marvel of efficient design, equipped to provide delectable light meals and snacks throughout your charter. Polished countertops and integrated appliances ensure the crew can prepare fresh, flavourful dishes with ease. The aroma of brewing coffee in the morning or a freshly prepared seafood canapé in the afternoon often wafts gently into the salon, hinting at the culinary delights being crafted within this functional space.
Accommodation
DIRAK offers an intelligent layout across its two cabins, providing comfortable quarters for up to six guests. The master suite, thoughtfully appointed, features a generous berth and ample storage for personal effects. The second cabin offers versatile sleeping arrangements, ideal for families or friends travelling together. Each cabin is a private haven, meticulously maintained and cooled by the air conditioning system, ensuring restful nights after days spent exploring. The tasteful décor, with its clean lines and subtle maritime touches, creates an atmosphere of understated elegance throughout the sleeping quarters, promising a serene escape on the water.
Culinary experiences aboard DIRAK are tailored to your preferences, with the dedicated crew preparing fresh, locally inspired dishes. Whether it's a light breakfast enjoyed on the aft deck, a casual lunch served al fresco, or a more formal evening meal in the salon, every dish is crafted with care. The emphasis is on fresh, vibrant ingredients sourced from the African coastlines you explore, ensuring an authentic taste of the region. Enjoy bespoke menus designed around your tastes, complemented by a selection of fine beverages.
While DIRAK is not equipped with a dedicated spa, the yacht itself promotes a sense of wellbeing through its intimate connection with the ocean. The gentle motion of the waves, the invigorating sea air, and the ample opportunities for swimming and sunbathing create a naturally restorative environment. Find your inner calm on the foredeck sun pad, or simply relax in the air-conditioned comfort of the salon, letting the serene views wash over you.
DIRAK carries a selection of equipment designed to enhance your time on the water. A robust tender allows for effortless shore excursions to secluded beaches or charming coastal villages. For those wishing to engage directly with the marine environment, snorkelling gear is available, inviting exploration of vibrant coral reefs and the fascinating underwater world of Africa. The compact size of the yacht also allows for easy access to shallow coves and hidden anchorages, perfect for spontaneous swims.

What a yacht like DIRAK costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on DIRAK is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 13m 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.
