A closer look
The Aft Deck Sanctuary
Here, beneath the warm Caribbean sun, life unfolds at a gentle pace. A shaded dining area invites leisurely breakfasts, the morning light dappling through the bimini as you watch the islands drift by. Plush seating offers a prime vantage point for sunsets, the sky ablaze with colour as the evening breeze carries the scent of distant shorelines. It’s a space designed for quiet contemplation and convivial conversation, always with the ocean as your captivating backdrop.
Saloon's Refined Comfort
Descend into a haven of cool, calm sophistication. The saloon, recently updated, offers a serene escape from the midday heat. Rich, tactile finishes and carefully chosen lighting create an atmosphere of understated luxury. Large windows frame ever-changing seascapes, connecting the interior with the boundless ocean. Sink into deep sofas with a book, or gather for an aperitif before dinner, the gentle sway of the yacht a constant, soothing companion.
Foredeck Freedom
The expansive foredeck beckons with promises of unhindered views and refreshing sea air. Stretch out on the sunpads, feeling the warmth on your skin as the yacht glides through the waves. This open expanse provides the perfect platform for morning yoga as the sun rises, or for stargazing under a blanket of Caribbean constellations, far from any light pollution. It's a space for pure, unadulterated connection with the elements.
The Helm's Embrace
Adjacent to the main deck, the helm station is where the art of sailing truly comes alive. Observe the skilled crew navigate, feeling the subtle shifts of the wind and the power of the yacht responding to their touch. This area offers a unique perspective on your journey, a quiet thrill as you witness the seamless operation of a Nautor's Swan in its element, the horizon stretching endlessly before you.
Cool Comfort Below
Throughout the yacht, the air conditioning maintains a perfectly temperate climate, a welcome respite after a day exploring sun-drenched coves. The gentle hum of the system ensures undisturbed rest and refreshing comfort, allowing you to fully unwind. Whether enjoying a quiet moment in your cabin or gathering in the saloon, the cool, crisp air enhances every aspect of your on-board experience.
Accommodation
Four beautifully appointed cabins provide a private sanctuary for eight guests. The master suite offers generous proportions and a tranquil ambiance, perfect for unwinding after a day of island hopping. Each guest cabin is thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind, featuring plush linens and ample storage for personal effects. The layout ensures a sense of privacy and calm, allowing everyone to retreat and recharge in their own space, enveloped in understated elegance and the gentle rhythm of the sea.
Culinary delights are a cornerstone of the charter experience. Your dedicated chef crafts bespoke menus, drawing inspiration from fresh, local ingredients found in the vibrant Caribbean markets. Enjoy al fresco meals on the aft deck, the warm breeze carrying the aroma of expertly prepared dishes, or a more intimate setting in the elegant saloon. Each meal is a celebration, tailored to your preferences, from sophisticated evening dinners to casual, sun-kissed lunches.
While not boasting a dedicated spa, the essence of wellness permeates the entire yacht. The serene cruising speed and tranquil deck spaces invite moments of quiet contemplation and relaxation. Feel the sun on your skin, breathe in the restorative sea air, and let the gentle motion of the ocean soothe your senses. The Caribbean itself becomes your spa, offering a natural path to rejuvenation and peace.
The ocean is your playground with a curated selection of water toys. Glide across the glassy surface on a paddleboard, discovering hidden coves and vibrant marine life. For those seeking a thrill, the wakeboard and adult water skis provide exhilarating moments across the yacht's wake. Light fishing gear is also on hand for a spot of leisurely angling, offering a chance to connect with the abundant marine environment.

What a yacht like L'HIPPOCAMPE costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on L'HIPPOCAMPE is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 31m 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.
