A closer look
The Aft Deck Horizon
The aft deck of IARA is where the ocean truly becomes an extension of your living space. Stretching across her generous 7.9-metre beam, this area invites languid mornings with coffee as the sun rises, or vibrant evenings with aperitifs as the light fades. There’s ample room for comfortable lounging, an outdoor shower for refreshing dips, and the ever-present allure of the Caribbean seascape. It’s a space designed for connection, conversation, and quiet contemplation.
Saloon Serenity
Within the main saloon, the atmosphere is one of understated elegance and comfort. Panoramic windows bathe the space in natural light, offering continuous vistas of the passing islands and turquoise waters. Here, guests can gather for a film on the TV or simply unwind in air-conditioned comfort, the gentle hum of the yacht a constant lullaby. It’s a tranquil refuge from the midday sun, perfect for reading or board games with loved ones.
Foredeck Sanctuary
Forward, the expansive trampolines and sun pads offer an idyllic spot for sunbathing or simply feeling the ocean spray. This is the place for uninterrupted views of the horizon, for watching dolphins play in the bow wake, or for simply losing oneself in the vastness of the sea. It's a prime vantage point for enjoying the Caribbean's natural beauty, whether under sail or at anchor in a secluded bay.
Swim Platform Access
The integrated swim platform provides effortless access to the inviting Caribbean waters. From here, guests can easily launch paddleboards, slip into the ocean for a refreshing swim, or simply sit with their feet dangling in the warm currents. It’s a practical yet charming feature, transforming the stern into a private beach club and ensuring every aquatic adventure begins with ease and grace.
Al Fresco Dining
Evenings aboard IARA often culminate in delightful al fresco meals. The outdoor dining area provides a charming setting for enjoying the chef’s creations under the open sky. With the gentle sea breeze as a companion and the stars beginning to pepper the inky blackness, each meal becomes an occasion. The integrated BBQ enhances this experience, perfect for freshly caught seafood prepared with island flair.
Accommodation
IARA accommodates six guests across three beautifully appointed cabins, each a private haven of comfort. The layout ensures privacy and peaceful slumber after days filled with Caribbean adventures. Each cabin is designed with thoughtful details, offering a tranquil space to retreat. Soft linens and subtle lighting create a serene atmosphere, allowing guests to wake refreshed and ready for another day exploring the islands, the gentle rocking of the yacht a soothing presence.
Culinary delights aboard IARA are tailored to your preferences, with a dedicated chef crafting exquisite meals from the freshest local ingredients. Whether it’s a vibrant breakfast on the aft deck, a light lunch enjoyed al fresco, or a sophisticated dinner under the stars, every dish is a celebration of flavour. The BBQ is ideal for grilling freshly caught fish, perfectly complementing the relaxed Caribbean ambiance. Expect delicious, bespoke menus that cater to every palate.
While IARA does not feature a dedicated spa, the yacht offers ample opportunities for well-being. The on-board gym equipment allows for invigorating workouts with ocean views, keeping you energised. The vast outdoor spaces, from the foredeck sun pads to the aft deck lounging areas, provide perfect spots for yoga or meditation. The refreshing outdoor shower and constant proximity to the sea ensure a holistic approach to relaxation and rejuvenation.
The Caribbean becomes your playground with IARA's selection of water toys. Explore hidden coves on paddleboards, drift lazily on floating mats, or feel the thrill of being towed on the tube. For those with a competitive spirit, big game fishing gear is on hand to test your angling prowess. Beach games are available for sandy excursions, ensuring entertainment both on and off the water, making every anchorage an opportunity for adventure.

What a yacht like IARA costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on IARA is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 15m 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.
