A closer look

On Board

The Main Saloon Sanctuary

The main saloon is a bright, airy haven, bathed in natural light filtering through generous windows. Plush, bespoke furnishings invite languid afternoons with a captivating novel or engaging conversation. Here, the integrated television provides a focal point for evening entertainment, perhaps a classic film, while the subtle hum of the air conditioning ensures perfect comfort, even under the Mediterranean sun. It is a space designed for connection and quiet contemplation alike.

On Board

Starlit Cinema Underway

Beyond the conventional, a dedicated movie theatre awaits. Imagine settling into deep, comfortable seating as the silver screen flickers to life, presenting a cinematic experience typically reserved for dry land. This intimate setting, complete with rich acoustics, transforms evenings at anchor into memorable events, whether it’s a family favourite or a gripping new release, all whilst the gentle rocking of the ocean provides a natural rhythm.

On Board

The Foredeck Lounge

Forward, the yacht unfolds into a versatile lounge area, perfect for sun-drenched mornings or twilight cocktails. Ample cushioning invites guests to stretch out and absorb the panoramic sea views, perhaps with a freshly brewed coffee from the on-board machine. It’s a prime vantage point for watching the coastline unfurl or simply basking in the warmth of the sun, feeling the gentle sea breeze on your skin.

Aesthetic of the Cabins

Each of the four cabins is a private retreat, meticulously appointed with an understated elegance. Soft linens, thoughtful lighting, and individual climate control ensure a restful slumber. The inclusion of a television in every cabin allows for personal entertainment before drifting off, or a quiet moment of reflection with the morning news, all within the serene confines of your personal space at sea.

On Board

The Aft Deck Connection

The aft deck serves as the primary outdoor living and dining area, offering a seamless transition from the saloon. Here, a large table beckons for al fresco meals, whilst comfortable seating provides an ideal spot for morning pastries or evening aperitifs. It is the perfect stage for enjoying the ever-changing backdrop of the East Mediterranean, feeling the warmth of the sun and the invigorating sea air.

The layout thoughtfully maximises privacy and comfort, with each cabin featuring its own en-suite facilities and entertainment system. The master suite, positioned for optimal light and views, offers a serene sanctuary with ample storage and a generous berth. Guest cabins are equally inviting, designed with a sophisticated neutrality that promotes relaxation.
