A closer look
The Aft Deck Sanctuary
The expansive aft deck serves as the yacht's social heart, a seamless extension of the saloon. Here, cushioned banquettes invite languid mornings with a coffee in hand, gazing out at the unfolding azure. By afternoon, the space transforms into an al fresco lounge, perfect for enjoying a cold drink as the sun dips below the horizon, the gentle Caribbean breeze a constant companion.
Saloon Serenity
Within the main saloon, panoramic windows frame the ever-changing seascape, bathing the interior in natural light. A plush settee offers a comfortable retreat for quiet contemplation or shared laughter. The integrated indoor audio system sets the mood, while a discreet television ensures entertainment is on hand, should the allure of the outside world momentarily wane.
Foredeck Relaxation
Forward, the catamaran's broad foredeck offers an exhilarating sense of space. Two large trampolines invite sun-worshippers to stretch out and feel the spray of the ocean. This is prime real estate for spotting dolphins playing in the bow wake or simply feeling the exhilaration of the open sea, an invigorating counterpoint to the more sheltered aft deck.
The Helm's Vantage
Ascend to the helm, and a commanding perspective of the Caribbean unfolds. This elevated position provides an uninterrupted 360-degree vista, perfect for those who enjoy the thrill of navigation or simply wish to observe the yacht's graceful movement through the water. It’s a space where the elements are truly felt, yet always in comfort and safety.
Cooling Comforts
Throughout the yacht, air conditioning ensures a consistently comfortable internal climate, a welcome respite from the tropical warmth. After a swim, the outdoor shower provides an invigorating rinse, leaving you refreshed and ready for an evening of culinary delights or stargazing on deck.
Accommodation
HOURGLASS offers four well-appointed cabins, each a private sanctuary for up to eight guests. The layout is designed for privacy and comfort, with light-filled spaces and ample storage. Each cabin benefits from the yacht's air conditioning, ensuring a cool and restful haven after a day of island exploration. Plush bedding and thoughtful amenities create an atmosphere of understated luxury, allowing you to drift off to the gentle rocking of the ocean, ready for another day in paradise.
Culinary experiences on board are a highlight, tailored to your preferences by the dedicated crew. Imagine freshly caught seafood, perhaps reeled in by you using the onboard fishing gear, sizzling on the BBQ under a canopy of stars. Whether it's a casual lunch enjoyed al fresco or a more formal evening meal served with a spectacular view, every dish is prepared with fresh, local ingredients, transforming each meal into a memorable occasion.
While a dedicated spa isn't featured, HOURGLASS provides ample opportunities for holistic wellbeing. The gentle motion of sailing itself offers a unique form of relaxation. For those seeking a more active pursuit, light gym equipment is available to maintain your routine, ensuring you feel invigorated and balanced throughout your charter. The open expanse of the deck also provides a serene space for morning stretches or quiet meditation.
The Caribbean waters are your playground, and HOURGLASS is equipped to maximise the fun. Dive into the turquoise with paddleboards, exploring hidden coves and pristine beaches. The towable tube offers exhilarating rides across the waves, while the wakeboard provides a thrilling challenge for the more adventurous. Floating mats invite lazy afternoons drifting on the surface, making every moment on the water an opportunity for enjoyment and discovery.

What a yacht like HOURGLASS costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on HOURGLASS 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.
