Plush sun loungers and comfortable sun pads beckon for hours spent lost in a good book or simply gazing at the endless horizon. This elevated sanctuary is where sea breezes whisper secrets, and time seems to stretch, unbound by earthly concerns, making every moment a luxurious pause.
Foredeck Lounge
At the bow, a generous foredeck seating area offers a more intimate vantage point. Designed for quiet contemplation or convivial sundowners, it provides an exhilarating sense of connection to the ocean. Feel the spray on your skin as you navigate ancient coastlines, or simply absorb the panoramic views in peaceful solitude. This forward-facing haven is perfect for morning coffees as the world awakens, or for star-gazing under the vast, inky Mediterranean sky.
Salon's Embrace
Step into the main salon, a sophisticated haven where rich textures meet contemporary design. The indoor audio system fills the space with curated soundscapes, while the large television offers cinematic escapism. Comfortable seating arrangements invite lively conversation or quiet reflection, bathed in natural light filtering through expansive windows. This elegant heart of the yacht provides a refined setting for socialising, dining, or simply unwinding in air-conditioned comfort after a day of exploration.
The Aft Deck Retreat
The aft deck serves as a versatile outdoor living space, transitioning seamlessly from al fresco dining to a relaxed lounge. Shielded from the sun, it offers a refreshing alternative to the open deck, perfect for leisurely breakfasts or evening cocktails. The gentle rocking of the yacht, coupled with the panoramic views of the passing coastline, creates an idyllic backdrop for shared moments and cherished memories, a true extension of the yacht's interior elegance.
Gym & Wellness Corner
Dedicated to maintaining vitality at sea, a discreet gym area houses essential exercise equipment. Whether it's a brisk workout to start the day or a gentle stretch as the sun sets, staying active is effortless. This space, thoughtfully integrated into the yacht's design, ensures that personal wellness routines can continue uninterrupted, allowing guests to feel invigorated and refreshed throughout their charter, with the ocean as their inspiring backdrop.
Accommodation
NOCTURNO’s six luxurious cabins are sanctuaries of peace, meticulously designed to ensure restful nights for up to twelve guests. Each cabin is a private haven, equipped with an individual television and climate control, ensuring personalised comfort. The master suite, a triumph of design, offers expansive space and unparalleled views, promising a truly indulgent experience. Guest cabins are equally appointed, featuring sumptuous linens and elegant finishes, creating a serene atmosphere conducive to deep relaxation. The thoughtful layout provides ample privacy, allowing each guest to retreat into their own personal oasis after a day of Mediterranean adventure.
Culinary excellence is at the heart of the experience, with a skilled chef crafting bespoke menus tailored to every preference. Dining can be an elegant affair in the main salon, or a casual al fresco experience on the aft deck, bathed in the warmth of the Mediterranean sun or beneath a canopy of stars. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients are transformed into exquisite dishes, complemented by a carefully curated selection of fine wines. From sunrise breakfasts to gourmet dinners, each meal is a celebration of flavour and setting, an integral part of the yachting journey.
Wellness on board is an effortless pursuit. The sundeck jacuzzi offers a soothing escape, perfect for unwinding under the open sky. For those seeking to maintain their fitness regime, a selection of gym equipment is available. The outdoor shower provides a refreshing rinse after a swim, while the expansive deck spaces invite sunbathing and tranquil moments. Every element is designed to foster relaxation and rejuvenation, ensuring guests return home feeling utterly revitalised.
The water toy locker is brimming with excitement, promising endless aquatic adventures. Guests can glide across the water on a foilboard, explore hidden coves with kayaks and paddleboards, or feel the thrill of a Jet Surf and stand-up Jet Skis. Seabobs offer an underwater ballet, while wakeboards and water skis provide exhilarating surface action. For the younger adventurers, towable toys guarantee laughter, all launched effortlessly from the expansive swim platform, complemented by an inflatable Jet Ski dock.

What a yacht like NOCTURNO costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on NOCTURNO is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 48m 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.
