A closer look

On Board

Aft Deck Al Fresco

The aft deck serves as the yacht’s social heart, where the Caribbean sun dapples through the bimini. Here, cushioned banquettes invite languid afternoons, perhaps with a chilled rosé in hand, while the polished teak table sets the scene for vibrant conversations under starry skies. The gentle rocking of the ocean provides a natural rhythm to shared meals and laughter, a seamless connection to the boundless blue beyond the stern.

On Board

Saloon's Panoramic Vista

Step inside the main saloon, where light floods through vast windows, framing ever-changing seascapes. Cream-hued furnishings, crafted with an understated elegance, invite relaxation, perhaps with a good book from the yacht's collection. The air conditioning hums softly, a welcome respite from the midday heat, and the integrated entertainment system stands ready for an evening film, creating a private cinema experience at sea.

On Board

Foredeck Lounge

The foredeck offers a secluded retreat, an expansive area for sun worship or quiet contemplation. Twin trampolines, taut and inviting, beckon for playful bounces or simply stretching out to feel the ocean spray on your skin as the yacht cuts through gentle swells. This is the place for uninterrupted ocean views, the horizon stretching infinitely before you, a perfect spot for morning yoga or an evening sundowner.

On Board

Helm Station's Command

The helm station, a marvel of ergonomic design and nautical precision, commands a sweeping view of the yacht’s bow and sails. Here, the captain orchestrates every manoeuvre, a quiet dance of skill and experience. Guests are welcome to observe, perhaps learning a little about the art of sailing, feeling the power of the wind in the sails and the rhythmic surge of the ocean beneath.

On Board

Galley's Culinary Hub

Below deck, the galley is a pristine and functional space where the yacht’s chef crafts gastronomic delights. Gleaming surfaces and professional appliances reflect a commitment to culinary excellence. The aroma of freshly prepared meals wafts through the yacht, hinting at the delicious experiences to come, from light Caribbean lunches to elegant evening dinners, all tailored to your preferences.

Accommodation

HOUBARA’s three cabins provide luxurious havens for up to seven guests. The primary cabin is a sanctuary of comfort, featuring a private jacuzzi – a rare indulgence at sea – offering serene soaks under a canopy of stars. Each cabin is meticulously appointed with plush bedding, ample storage, and en-suite facilities, ensuring privacy and comfort. The layout is thoughtfully designed, offering a harmonious balance between communal areas and personal retreats, all benefiting from the yacht's generous beam.
