A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The aft deck is a sanctuary for open-air living. Picture crisp mornings with a freshly brewed coffee, the gentle swell a rhythmic backdrop. By afternoon, the integrated BBQ sparks to life, infusing the air with tantalising aromas as you gather for a casual lunch. Evenings unfurl under a canopy of stars, with the soft glow of deck lighting creating an intimate atmosphere for quiet conversation or simply savouring the ocean's embrace.
Salon's Serene Retreat
Step into the main salon, where cool air conditioning offers a respite from the tropical warmth. This inviting space seamlessly blends comfort with understated elegance. An indoor audio system provides a curated soundtrack to your journey, while the Smart TV offers entertainment for quieter moments. Panoramic windows ensure the breathtaking Caribbean vistas remain an ever-present canvas, blurring the lines between indoors and out.
Foredeck Sun Lounge
Beyond the mast, the foredeck transforms into an expansive sun lounge. Here, custom cushions invite languid afternoons spent basking in the sun's warmth, the gentle rocking of the yacht a natural lullaby. It's the perfect vantage point for spotting playful dolphins or simply losing oneself in the endless horizon, feeling the invigorating sea breeze on your skin.
Swim Platform Access
The integrated swim platform provides effortless access to the inviting turquoise waters. This dedicated space is your gateway to refreshing dips, launching water toys, or simply sitting at the water's edge, trailing your fingers through the cooling sea. An outdoor shower ensures a quick rinse after a swim, keeping the deck pristine and comfortable.
Bridge Deck Views
Ascend to the bridge deck, an elevated perch offering commanding views of the surrounding seascape. Feel the wind in your hair as you watch the crew expertly navigate, or simply enjoy a quiet moment with a good book, the vast expanse of the ocean stretching out before you. It’s a space designed for contemplation and appreciating the sheer beauty of your Caribbean surroundings.
Accommodation
Below deck, two meticulously designed cabins provide a tranquil haven for four guests. The master suite, a sanctuary of comfort, features generous proportions and thoughtful details, ensuring restful nights after days of adventure. Each cabin is a testament to bespoke craftsmanship, with plush linens and ample storage for personal effects. The layout prioritises privacy and serenity, allowing each guest to unwind in their own personal retreat, lulled by the gentle rhythm of the sea. Natural light streams through well-placed portholes, connecting you with the vibrant outside world even when inside.
Culinary delights await, tailored to your preferences by a skilled onboard chef. Whether it's a casual al fresco lunch grilled on the aft deck BBQ, or a more formal evening meal served in the elegant salon, every dish is a celebration of fresh, local ingredients. Imagine just-caught seafood prepared to perfection, or vibrant tropical fruits adorning your breakfast table. The dining experience is fluid, adapting to your desires, from sun-drenched picnics on a secluded beach to intimate dinners under a canopy of stars.
While FLYING WHALE doesn't feature a dedicated spa, the entire yacht embodies wellness. The invigorating fresh sea air, the soothing motion of sailing, and the ample opportunities for water-based activities contribute to a profound sense of rejuvenation. Find your rhythm with morning yoga on the foredeck, or simply relax with a book in a quiet corner, letting the gentle sway of the ocean melt away any stresses. The Caribbean itself is the ultimate therapy.
The toy chest brims with exciting options for aquatic adventures. Glide across the surface on paddleboards or kayaks, exploring hidden coves at your own pace. For more exhilaration, try waterskiing or wakeboarding, pulled by the tender. The towable tube promises laughter and splashes, while the kneeboard offers a thrilling ride. Floating mats provide a relaxing platform for sunbathing on the water, and beach games ensure fun ashore, rounding out a comprehensive collection for boundless entertainment.

What a yacht like FLYING WHALE costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on FLYING WHALE is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 18m 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.
