A closer look

The Aft Deck Lounge
Here, the boundary between yacht and ocean blurs. Sink into plush cushions, the warm Caribbean air caressing your skin as you watch the turquoise wake unfurl behind you. The integrated BBQ promises al-fresco feasts under star-strewn skies, the aroma of grilled seafood mingling with the salty breeze. This generous space is perfect for morning coffees, afternoon siestas, and convivial evenings spent recounting the day's adventures.

Sun-Drenched Foredeck
Beyond the saloon, a vast foredeck beckons. Spread out on the trampolines, feeling the gentle spray as the catamaran glides across the waves. This is your private observatory for dolphin sightings, a serene spot for morning yoga, or simply a place to bask in the sun's warmth, a paperback novel in hand. The panoramic views from this vantage point are truly captivating, offering an unobstructed connection to the open sea.

The Saloon Sanctuary
Step inside to a bright, air-conditioned haven. Large windows frame the ever-changing seascape, creating a seamless connection with the outside world while offering respite from the midday sun. The indoor audio system provides the perfect soundtrack to a relaxed afternoon, perhaps a board game with loved ones or a quiet moment with a book from the yacht's collection. Comfort and contemporary design converge here.

Seamless Swim Platform
The integrated swim platform is your gateway to the azure waters. Beyond its practical function for easy tender access, it becomes a private beach club. The outdoor shower awaits to rinse off the salt after a refreshing dip, and it’s the ideal launching point for all the water toys. This direct connection to the sea epitomises the carefree spirit of a sailing charter.

Connected Comfort
Even amidst the tranquil expanse of the Caribbean, staying connected is effortless. With Wi-Fi on board, share your breathtaking moments with those at home, or simply stream your favourite music through the iPod dock. The saloon's TV offers a space for evening entertainment, ensuring that while you're away from the everyday, you still have the comforts and conveniences you desire.
Accommodation
Four thoughtfully appointed cabins provide serene retreats for up to eight guests. Each space is designed for comfort, offering a private sanctuary after a day of sun and sea. The layout ensures privacy and tranquility, with crisp linens and subtle lighting creating an inviting atmosphere. Wake to the gentle rocking of the yacht and the soft Caribbean light filtering through the windows, ready for another day of exploration. Ample storage is provided for personal belongings, ensuring a clutter-free and relaxing stay for all on board.



Culinary delights await, tailored to your preferences by the dedicated crew. Imagine freshly caught seafood, expertly prepared and served al-fresco on the aft deck, the gentle sea breeze as your dining companion. From vibrant tropical breakfasts to candlelit dinners under a canopy of stars, every meal is an experience. The open-plan galley ensures a fresh, personalised approach to dining, embracing local flavours and international favourites.
While DRIFT doesn't feature a dedicated spa or gym, the entire yacht is a haven for natural wellness. Begin your day with a refreshing dip from the swim platform, followed by sun salutations on the expansive foredeck. The invigorating Caribbean air and the rhythmic motion of the ocean are natural tonics, promoting a deep sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. Every moment spent on deck is an opportunity to reconnect with your inner calm.
The ocean is your playground with an exciting array of water toys. Launch the paddleboards and glide silently across glassy coves, or feel the thrill of being pulled behind the tender on the towable tube. For those seeking more exhilaration, the wakeboard promises an adrenaline rush. Floating mats offer a peaceful way to drift and soak up the sun, ensuring endless entertainment for all ages.

DRIFT: your questions, answered
The most common questions we receive about chartering DRIFT. For anything specific to your dates, guest list or itinerary, message us directly.
What a yacht like DRIFT costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on DRIFT 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.
