A closer look
The Sundeck Sanctuary
Ascend to the sundeck and find a haven designed for expansive views and tranquil moments. Plush sun pads invite languid afternoons under the open sky, whilst the bubbling Jacuzzi offers a soothing respite as the scenery drifts by. An outdoor shower provides a refreshing interlude, perfectly complementing an afternoon of sun-kissed relaxation. Here, the aroma of a BBQ might occasionally waft, promising al fresco delights as evening descends over the water.
Saloon Grandeur
The main saloon is a testament to comfortable elegance, a generous space where natural light streams through large windows, illuminating a sophisticated interior. Here, guests gather for lively conversation or quiet contemplation, enveloped in an atmosphere of understated luxury. An integrated indoor audio system sets the perfect tone, whether for a sophisticated evening soiree or a relaxed afternoon with a good book. The large television provides entertainment, but the real spectacle is always the ever-changing panorama outside.
Bridge Deck Terrace
The bridge deck aft offers an idyllic setting for open-air living. This expansive terrace serves as a versatile space for everything from morning coffees to evening cocktails, all against the backdrop of the yacht’s wake. With comfortable seating arrangements and an outdoor audio system, it becomes a natural gathering point, encouraging shared moments and appreciative glances at the unfolding vistas. It’s a prime spot to feel the crisp northern air and truly connect with the maritime environment.
The Captain’s Quarters
While not a guest area, the bridge is the nerve centre of MIRAGE, a fascinating glimpse into the operational heart of a Feadship. It’s from here that her experienced crew, guided by cutting-edge navigation, charts a smooth course through the often-dramatic Northern European waters. Guests can occasionally catch a glimpse of the intricate array of controls and screens, a quiet reminder of the precision and expertise that underpins every seamless journey, ensuring comfort even with the stabilisers at anchor.
Observation Lounge
Forward on the main deck, a cosy observation lounge provides an intimate vantage point. Here, one can enjoy a quiet moment with a freshly brewed coffee from the onboard machine, gazing out at the passing scenery in comfort. It’s a perfect spot for birdwatching in a secluded cove or simply appreciating the raw beauty of the coastline, offering a more sheltered alternative to the open decks, especially when the Northern European breeze picks up.
Accommodation
MIRAGE boasts eight beautifully appointed cabins, offering flexible arrangements for up to twelve guests. The primary cabin, a sanctuary of peace, features a dedicated television and ample space, providing a serene retreat for the charter principals. Each additional cabin is designed with comfort in mind, ensuring every guest enjoys privacy and repose. The layout has been thoughtfully configured to maximise personal space, making her ideal for multi-generational families or groups of friends seeking a refined experience. Throughout, the interiors reflect a timeless elegance, providing a calm and inviting atmosphere after a day of exploration.
Culinary excellence is central to the MIRAGE experience. Her talented chef curates bespoke menus, drawing inspiration from local Northern European produce and international flavours, all tailored to individual preferences and special diets. Whether it’s a formal dinner in the main saloon, a casual al fresco lunch on the bridge deck, or a sizzling BBQ on the sundeck, every meal is an event. The meticulous attention to detail extends to the presentation, enhancing the pleasure of dining amidst ever-changing backdrops, from sun-drenched fjords to starlit seas.
MIRAGE offers several avenues for well-being. The sundeck Jacuzzi provides a warm, bubbling haven for relaxation, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploration. For those who enjoy maintaining their routine, a selection of exercise equipment is available to keep active. The fresh air and stunning vistas of Northern Europe naturally contribute to a sense of rejuvenation, complemented by moments of quiet contemplation on deck or invigorating dips from the swim platform.
The waters surrounding MIRAGE are an invitation to play. Her garage is stocked with an array of exhilarating water toys, including nimble stand-up Jet Skis for high-speed thrills and versatile kayaks for peaceful exploration of hidden coves. Guests can enjoy the exhilaration of wakeboarding and waterskiing, or try their hand at the mono ski. The paddleboards offer a tranquil way to glide across calm waters, whilst the towable tube promises laughter and excitement for all ages, all easily accessible from the spacious swim platform.

What a yacht like MIRAGE costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on MIRAGE is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 53m 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.
