A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The aft deck serves as the yacht's social heart, a shaded haven where the gentle sea breeze provides natural air conditioning. Mornings are heralded by aromatic coffee and the soft clinking of china, whilst evenings invite lingering conversations under a canopy of stars. The polished teak underfoot feels cool and smooth, a constant reminder of your proximity to the water, where the horizon stretches infinitely before you.
Saloon Sanctuary
Below deck, the saloon offers a cool, tranquil escape from the midday sun. Soft, natural light filters through the portholes, illuminating plush seating and rich wooden finishes. It’s a space designed for quiet contemplation, perhaps with a book from the small onboard library, or for gathering before dinner, the gentle hum of the yacht providing a soothing soundtrack to your conversations. Air conditioning ensures year-round comfort.
Foredeck Sundowner
The foredeck is your private observatory, an expansive sun-drenched platform perfect for soaking up the Mediterranean rays. Lie back on comfortable cushions, feeling the gentle rise and fall of the ocean beneath you. As dusk approaches, it transforms into an idyllic spot for a sundowner, the sky ablaze with colour, reflecting on the calm waters. The sensation of open space and fresh sea air is utterly invigorating.
Helm's Eye View
Join the captain at the helm and gain a unique perspective on your journey. Feel the power of the yacht as it cuts through the waves, the wind in your hair, and the vast expanse of the sea before you. It’s an opportunity to truly appreciate the art of sailing, to understand the currents and the wind, and to witness the beauty of the West Mediterranean from a privileged vantage point.
Galley Delights
While not a guest area, the galley is the vibrant hub where culinary magic unfolds. The aromas of freshly prepared meals waft gently through the yacht, hinting at the delights to come. It’s a testament to the crew's dedication, transforming fresh local produce into exquisite dishes, all within the compact and efficient space of a sailing yacht.
Accommodation
KIND OF BLUE accommodates six guests across three thoughtfully appointed cabins, each a private retreat designed for restful nights at anchor or under sail. The master suite, with its generous proportions, features ample storage and a private ensuite, offering a serene haven. The remaining two cabins, equally comfortable, provide flexibility for families or couples, ensuring everyone finds their own space to unwind after a day of coastal exploration. Crisp linens and a soothing decor scheme contribute to an atmosphere of understated luxury, all kept comfortable by the yacht’s air conditioning.
Culinary experiences aboard KIND OF BLUE are a celebration of fresh, local flavours, expertly prepared by your dedicated crew. Imagine breakfasts of ripe, sun-kissed fruits and artisanal pastries enjoyed al fresco on the aft deck, the morning sun sparkling on the water. Lunches might feature light, vibrant salads and grilled seafood, whilst evenings are for more elaborate affairs, perhaps a Mediterranean-inspired feast served under a blanket of stars. Each meal is tailored to your preferences, creating memorable moments of gastronomic pleasure.
While KIND OF BLUE does not feature a dedicated spa or gym, the entire yacht offers an inherent sense of wellbeing. The constant connection to the sea, the fresh air, and the gentle motion of sailing are restorative in themselves. Find your 'om' on the foredeck with morning stretches as the sun rises, or simply recline with a good book, letting the rhythmic lull of the waves soothe your senses. The focus here is on natural rejuvenation, enhanced by the peaceful solitude of the open water.
For those who seek a little exhilaration on the water, KIND OF BLUE offers a wakeboard, providing opportunities for fun and active engagement with the sea. Beyond this, the yacht serves as the perfect platform for swimming in secluded coves, with easy access to the inviting turquoise waters. The crew is on hand to assist with launching and retrieving equipment, ensuring seamless enjoyment of all the yacht's aquatic offerings.

What a yacht like KIND OF BLUE costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on KIND OF BLUE 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.
