A broad, shaded dining table invites leisurely meals, where the gentle lapping of waves provides a soothing soundtrack. Adjacent, plush seating coaxes you into conversation, while the nearby BBQ scents the air with promises of freshly grilled catches. This space seamlessly blends indoor comfort with the invigorating marine environment, a true heart of open-air living.
Foredeck Serenity
Venture forward to discover the expansive foredeck, a haven of peace and panoramic views. Here, oversized sun pads beckon for hours of uninterrupted basking, offering a private stage for soaking up the Caribbean sunshine. With the wind in your hair and the horizon stretching endlessly before you, it’s an idyllic spot for quiet contemplation, a good book, or simply watching the islands drift by. The sensation of space is truly remarkable.
Saloon Sanctuary
Within the main saloon, cool air conditioning provides a welcome respite from the tropical heat. This elegantly appointed space features comfortable seating arranged around a television, perfect for a relaxed evening film. The indoor audio system fills the area with your chosen melodies, creating an atmosphere of sophisticated ease. Large windows frame the passing scenery, ensuring you never feel disconnected from the stunning surroundings, even when indoors.
Swim Platform Access
The integrated swim platform offers effortless access to the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea. This broad, stable area is where aquatic adventures begin and end. From here, you can dive directly into the refreshing water, launch paddleboards, or simply sit on the edge with your feet dangling, watching the fish dart below. An outdoor shower provides a convenient rinse-off after a swim, enhancing the seamless transition from sea to deck.
Sun Deck Vista
Ascend to the upper sun deck, where elevated perspectives await. Here, an array of comfortable sun loungers invites you to stretch out and truly unwind, offering unparalleled views of the archipelago. The outdoor audio system sets the mood, whether you prefer upbeat tunes for an afternoon gathering or mellow rhythms as the sun dips below the horizon. It’s a prime location for both vibrant socialising and tranquil moments of solitude.
Accommodation
Four beautifully appointed cabins provide restful havens for up to eight guests. Each space is designed with comfort in mind, featuring elegant finishes and thoughtful touches. The primary cabin offers a private television, ensuring personal entertainment at your fingertips. The catamaran layout ensures a sense of privacy and spaciousness, with ample natural light filtering through, creating an airy and inviting atmosphere. Every cabin is a tranquil retreat, promising restorative sleep after days of island exploration.
Culinary delights are a cornerstone of the charter experience. Your dedicated chef crafts exquisite meals tailored to your preferences, from fresh local catches grilled on the aft deck BBQ to gourmet dinners served al fresco under the stars. The fully equipped galley and a high-quality coffee machine ensure every morning begins with a perfect brew. Enjoy vibrant breakfasts, leisurely lunches, and sophisticated dinners, all prepared with a touch of French culinary artistry, savoured against ever-changing backdrops.
While not boasting a dedicated spa, this catamaran offers a holistic sense of wellbeing. The constant warm breeze, the gentle sway of the ocean, and abundant sunshine naturally promote relaxation. An outdoor shower provides a refreshing post-swim cleanse. The expansive decks, perfect for sunbathing on luxurious pads and loungers, encourage deep relaxation and reconnection with nature, fostering a profound sense of calm and rejuvenation.
A treasure trove of water toys awaits active guests. Glide across the glassy surface on a paddleboard or feel the exhilaration of wakeboarding and water skiing, with options for both adults and children. An inflatable floating island provides a playful base for lounging in the water, while light fishing gear invites a spot of angling. Every day promises new aquatic adventures, ensuring endless entertainment for all ages.

What a yacht like FRENCHWEST costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on FRENCHWEST is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 24m 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.
