A closer look
The Aft Deck Sanctuary
Stepping onto the aft deck, one is immediately enveloped in an atmosphere of refined relaxation. Plush upholstered seating invites lingering over morning coffee, the gentle rocking of the ocean a soothing rhythm. The integrated BBQ grill promises sizzling al fresco lunches, the aroma of grilled seafood mingling with the salty air. This space seamlessly connects to the swim platform, offering immediate access to the cooling embrace of the sea, a perfect balance of convivial gathering and aquatic adventure.
Sun-Drenched Foredeck Lounge
At the bow, a sprawling foredeck lounge beckons with ample space for sunbathing and quiet contemplation. Here, the catamaran's generous beam truly comes into its own, providing an expansive, uninterrupted vista of the seascape. Imagine reclining on comfortable sun pads, a gentle breeze ruffling your hair, the warmth of the Caribbean sun on your skin. It’s a prime spot for spotting dolphins at play or simply losing oneself in the endless blue, a personal haven for peace and privacy.
The Elevated Flybridge
Ascend to the flybridge, an elevated command centre and social hub offering panoramic 360-degree views. This vantage point provides an unparalleled perspective of the unfolding scenery, from distant islands to the iridescent shimmer of the water below. Comfortable seating arrangements invite casual conversation and sundowner cocktails, the perfect setting for witnessing breathtaking Caribbean sunsets. It’s a space designed for both the thrill of navigation and the simple joy of observation, a true open-air living room.
The Main Saloon Haven
Within the main saloon, cool air conditioning provides a welcome respite from the midday sun. Large windows frame the ever-changing seascape, ensuring a constant connection to the outside world while offering sheltered comfort. The indoor audio system fills the space with chosen melodies, creating a bespoke ambiance. A well-placed TV provides entertainment for quiet evenings, making this a versatile space for relaxation, conversation, or simply unwinding with a good book, a true heart of the yacht.
Freshwater Outdoor Shower
After a invigorating swim or a session with the water toys, the outdoor shower offers a refreshing rinse under the open sky. Located conveniently on deck, it’s a practical yet indulgent feature. The cool, fresh water washes away the salt, leaving you feeling revitalised and ready for the next adventure. This simple amenity elevates the post-swim experience, a small luxury that speaks volumes about thoughtful design and guest comfort.
Accommodation
LA VIE EST BELLE boasts five elegant cabins, each a private sanctuary for up to eight guests. The layout typically features four double cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom, offering privacy and comfort. A smaller fifth cabin, often configured for children or a single guest, maintains the same high standards of finish. Crisp linens, ample storage, and subtle lighting create serene retreats. The master suite, privileged with expansive views, provides a particularly inviting haven, ensuring restful nights after sun-filled days exploring the Caribbean's wonders. Every detail contributes to an atmosphere of understated luxury and quiet repose.
Culinary experiences aboard LA VIE EST BELLE are tailored to individual preferences, featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.

What a yacht like LA VIE EST BELLE costs to own — not just to charter

Ownership of a 17m 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.
