A closer look

Aft Deck Retreat
Step onto the teak-laid aft deck, where the morning sun warms the polished surfaces. This open-air haven, complete with an outdoor shower, invites refreshing dips after a swim or a gentle rinse of sea salt from your skin. Here, the gentle lapping of waves against the hull provides a calming soundtrack, ideal for a quiet read with a coffee as the coastline drifts by, or for simply watching the world unfurl from a comfortable vantage point.

Saloon Sanctuary
Below deck, the saloon offers a sophisticated respite from the midday sun. Rich timber panelling and plush seating create an inviting atmosphere, perfect for unwinding. The integrated indoor audio system fills the space with your chosen melodies, while the discreetly placed TV offers entertainment should the mood strike. Large windows allow natural light to filter in, connecting the interior's comfort with the ever-changing seascape outside.

Private Swim Platform
The integrated swim platform provides effortless access to the refreshing ocean waters. This expansive area, just above the waterline, becomes your private beach club. From here, one can easily launch paddleboards or simply recline at sea level, feeling the gentle undulations of the ocean. It’s a seamless transition from the yacht's comfort to the invigorating embrace of the sea, making every dip an occasion.

Galley Conveniences
Though compact, the galley is thoughtfully equipped to cater to your every need. Polished countertops and well-appointed appliances allow for the preparation of light refreshments and delightful snacks. It's a functional space that ensures every craving is met, from brewing the morning tea to chilling a bottle of crisp white wine for an evening aperitif, all within easy reach of the saloon.

Helm Station Views
The helm station, designed with precision and clarity, offers commanding panoramic views. From this vantage point, witness the intricate dance of sea and sky as the yacht navigates the coastal waterways. The feeling of being at the heart of the journey, observing the skilled hand of the captain, adds a unique dimension to the experience, connecting you directly to the voyage itself.
Accommodation
MERLIN offers a singular, exquisitely appointed cabin, designed as a private retreat for two guests. The master suite is a haven of quiet luxury, featuring a comfortable double berth adorned with fine linens. Thoughtful storage solutions ensure a clutter-free environment, while the en-suite facilities provide convenience and privacy. The design emphasises comfort and intimacy, promising restful nights after days of coastal exploration. Every detail, from the polished wood finishes to the subtle lighting, contributes to an atmosphere of serene elegance, perfectly suited for a couple's escape.



While MERLIN does not feature a dedicated chef, the yacht's galley is perfectly suited for preparing light, fresh meals and delightful snacks. Enjoy al fresco breakfasts on the aft deck, with the sea breeze as your companion, or intimate dinners in the saloon's refined setting. Provisions can be tailored to your preferences prior to embarkation, allowing for bespoke culinary experiences, from gourmet picnics on secluded beaches to elegant evening canapés served as the sun dips below the horizon.
For moments of invigorating wellness, MERLIN offers direct access to the sea via her expansive swim platform. Take a refreshing dip in the ocean, or rinse off under the outdoor shower. The gentle rocking of the yacht and the constant sea air provide a natural sense of calm and rejuvenation. While lacking a dedicated gym or spa, the ocean itself becomes your wellness sanctuary, inviting swimming, gentle exercise, and pure relaxation.
MERLIN carries a delightful selection of water toys to enhance your coastal adventures. Explore hidden coves and tranquil bays on the stable paddleboards, offering a unique perspective of the shoreline. Or, for a more relaxed aquatic experience, drift lazily on the floating mats, soaking up the sun and the gentle movements of the sea. These amenities ensure every moment on the water is filled with engaging and enjoyable activity.

What a yacht like MERLIN costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on MERLIN is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 13m 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.
