A closer look
The Aft Deck Sanctuary
The expansive aft deck serves as the yacht's social heart, offering an unhindered connection to the surrounding seascape. Here, polished teak underfoot meets plush, bespoke seating, inviting effortless conversation or quiet contemplation. Beneath the Caribbean sun, the gentle spray from the yacht's wake provides a refreshing counterpoint to the warm air, while the distant horizon beckons with promises of secluded anchorages and vibrant island life.
Main Saloon Elegance
Within the main saloon, the yacht’s recent refit is evident in the refined materials and sophisticated design. Large windows frame panoramic views, bathing the interior in natural light, while the air conditioning ensures a constant, comfortable climate. The space transitions seamlessly from a comfortable lounging area for pre-dinner cocktails to a more formal setting for intimate gatherings, all while maintaining an understated sense of luxury.
Foredeck Sun Lounge
The foredeck is a private haven, designed for unadulterated relaxation. Cushioned sunpads sprawl across the bow, offering an idyllic spot for soaking up the sun's warmth and enjoying uninterrupted vistas. Feel the gentle rise and fall of the ocean beneath you, the wind a soft caress against your skin, as the yacht glides effortlessly towards your next idyllic destination. It’s a prime position for stargazing after dusk.
The Helm's Command
Observe the yacht's capabilities from the helm, a testament to Mangusta's engineering prowess. The intricate array of navigation equipment hums quietly, guiding the vessel with precision. Here, the skilled captain orchestrates the journey, navigating the turquoise Caribbean expanse with expertise, ensuring smooth transit at a comfortable 35 knots, or unleashing the exhilarating full speed when the open water calls.
Swim Platform Access
The integrated swim platform provides direct and effortless access to the inviting Caribbean waters. From here, one can easily launch the tender for shore excursions or simply slip into the refreshing ocean for a revitalising swim. It’s the gateway to aquatic adventures, a seamless extension of the yacht’s leisure spaces, perfectly designed for spontaneous dips and playful moments.
Accommodation
Below deck, four thoughtfully appointed cabins provide serene retreats for eight guests. The master suite, positioned for maximum tranquility, features a generous berth and an ensuite that echoes the yacht’s contemporary aesthetic. Two additional double cabins and a versatile twin cabin ensure comfortable arrangements for families or groups of friends. Each space is a sanctuary of calm, with ample storage and carefully chosen linens, promising restorative sleep after days filled with Caribbean adventures. The layout fosters both privacy and connection, allowing for shared moments and peaceful solitude.
Culinary journeys aboard are orchestrated by the yacht's dedicated chef, who crafts bespoke menus inspired by the vibrant flavours of the Caribbean. Whether it's freshly caught seafood prepared with local spices or an elegant al fresco dinner beneath the stars on the aft deck, every meal is a celebration. Indulge in leisurely breakfasts with panoramic views, light lunches served on deck, or more formal evening dining experiences in the main saloon, each dish a testament to fresh ingredients and expert preparation.
While a dedicated spa or gym is not onboard, the yacht offers an inherent sense of wellbeing through its connection to the sea. The expansive deck spaces invite morning yoga or stretching with the sunrise, while the invigorating Caribbean waters provide the ultimate natural therapy. Unwind on the sunpads, feel the warmth of the sun, and let the gentle rhythm of the ocean soothe your senses, promoting a profound sense of relaxation and rejuvenation.
The yacht is equipped with a versatile tender, ready to whisk guests to secluded beaches or charming island villages. Beyond the tender, a selection of water toys ensures endless entertainment on the crystalline Caribbean waters. From exploring vibrant coral reefs with snorkelling gear to enjoying exhilarating towable rides, there are ample opportunities for playful aquatic adventures, catering to every desire for on-water excitement and exploration.

What a yacht like HOUDINI costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on HOUDINI is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 28m 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.
