A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The expansive aft deck serves as the primary outdoor social hub, where mornings begin with sun-dappled breakfasts overlooking a tranquil bay. Evenings here unfold under a canopy of stars, with soft lighting illuminating a generous dining table. It’s a space designed for convivial gatherings and quiet contemplation alike, cooled by a gentle sea breeze as the yacht rests at anchor, the scent of salt and distant pine carried on the air.
Main Saloon Sanctuary
Step into the main saloon, a meticulously curated haven of comfort and style. Rich, tactile fabrics and polished timber create an inviting atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. Large panoramic windows frame ever-changing seascapes, inviting the outside in while maintaining an intimate ambience. Here, conversations flow easily, and moments of quiet reflection are savoured, perhaps with a rare book from the yacht’s collection.
Bridge Deck Lounge
Perched above, the bridge deck lounge offers an elevated perspective. This versatile space transforms from a bright, airy observation point by day to a sophisticated cocktail bar as dusk descends. Plush seating arrangements encourage relaxed conversation, while subtle lighting casts a warm glow. It’s the ideal spot for private soirées or simply to enjoy a quiet moment, watching the horizon blur into twilight.
Foredeck Sun Pad
At the bow, the vast sun pad beckons for moments of pure relaxation. Here, one can stretch out on cushioned loungers, feeling the warmth of the sun and the gentle spray of the sea. The uninterrupted views across the water are breathtaking, making it a prime location for soaking up the Mediterranean sun in complete privacy, perhaps with a cool drink in hand and the sound of distant gulls.
Swim Platform Access
The extended swim platform provides seamless access to the inviting Mediterranean waters. It’s a dynamic space for embarking on aquatic adventures or simply enjoying a refreshing dip. Thoughtfully designed, it offers a secure and elegant transition between the yacht’s luxurious interior and the boundless blue, ensuring every water-based activity begins and ends with effortless grace.
Accommodation
Sleeping up to twelve guests across six meticulously appointed cabins, the yacht offers a serene retreat for everyone on board. The layout includes a grand master suite, designed as a private sanctuary with ample space and opulent finishes. Each additional cabin is a testament to comfort and refined taste, ensuring privacy and repose. Crisp linens, soft lighting, and carefully selected artworks create an atmosphere of understated luxury, providing a restful haven after days filled with sun and sea. Every detail is considered for an undisturbed night's sleep.
Culinary journeys aboard are a celebration of the East Mediterranean's vibrant flavours, prepared by a gifted chef. Meals are tailored to individual preferences, from light, fresh seafood platters served on the aft deck to more formal multi-course dinners enjoyed in the elegant main saloon. Ingredients are sourced locally, ensuring peak freshness and authentic taste. Each dining experience is an event, whether a casual beach picnic or a sophisticated tasting menu, accompanied by a curated selection of fine wines.
While a dedicated spa or gym is not present, the yacht offers an environment conducive to well-being through its connection to the sea. The expansive decks provide ample space for morning yoga or stretching with the sunrise, and the constant fresh sea air is invigorating. Guests can find peace in the quiet corners of the yacht, engaging in mindful moments, or simply relaxing in the comfort of their air-conditioned cabins, rejuvenated by the gentle rhythm of the waves.
For those seeking exhilaration, the yacht is equipped with a thrilling selection of water toys. Guests can feel the spray and speed across the waves on stand-up Jet Skis, perfect for exploring hidden coves. Adrenaline seekers will revel in the challenge of the wakeboard, while water skis offer classic fun for all skill levels. The clear, warm waters of the East Mediterranean provide the perfect playground for these aquatic adventures.

What a yacht like DODO costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on DODO is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 42m 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.
