A closer look

The Aft Deck Sanctuary
The expansive aft deck serves as the yacht's social heart, a seamless extension of the main saloon. Here, plush settees invite relaxed conversation, framed by the gentle lapping of waves. It's the perfect setting for morning coffee as the sun rises over a secluded cove, or for evening cocktails, with the ocean breeze carrying the scent of distant islands. The open-air design fosters an immediate connection with the breathtaking surroundings, promising moments of serene contemplation and lively communion.

Sun Deck Vista
Ascend to the sun deck, where panoramic vistas unfold in every direction. Generous sun pads beckon for hours of basking, whilst the integrated swimming pool offers a refreshing respite from the tropical warmth. This elevated haven is ideal for leisurely afternoons, perhaps with a book and a cool drink, or for stargazing under an inky, unpolluted sky. The layout ensures both privacy and an unobstructed appreciation of Oceania's majestic scenery.

Beach Club Oasis
At water level, the beach club transforms into a private waterfront retreat. With direct access to the sea, it’s a vibrant hub for aquatic adventures or simply dipping toes in the crystal-clear waters. The outdoor shower ensures a refreshing rinse after a swim, and the proximity to the ocean creates an intimate connection with the marine environment. It's a space designed for effortless enjoyment of the yacht's stunning surroundings.

Main Saloon Elegance
The main saloon exudes a refined comfort, where contemporary design meets understated luxury. Large windows frame ever-changing seascapes, inviting the outside in whilst maintaining an air of sophisticated calm. It’s a versatile space, perfect for intimate gatherings, a quiet moment with a good book, or engaging conversation over pre-dinner aperitifs. The meticulous attention to detail in the furnishings and finishes creates an atmosphere of serene grandeur.

Foredeck Serenity
Beyond the main superstructure, the foredeck offers a secluded haven. Here, additional sun pads provide an alternative lounging area, often catching the gentle sea breeze as the yacht is underway. It’s a tranquil spot for private reflection, enjoying uninterrupted views of the horizon, or perhaps a quiet breakfast as the crew prepare for the day's adventures. The vastness of the ocean feels particularly close from this vantage point.
Accommodation
Five meticulously appointed cabins provide a sanctuary of rest and rejuvenation for twelve guests. The master suite, a private domain of understated opulence, occupies a prime position, offering expansive views and a serene ambience. Each guest cabin, thoughtfully designed with a sophisticated palette and plush furnishings, ensures utmost comfort and privacy. En-suite facilities accompany every cabin, featuring premium fixtures and ample space, creating a personalised retreat for each occupant after a day of exploration. The layout ensures a harmonious balance between communal spaces and individual havens.



Culinary excellence is central to the experience, with a dedicated chef crafting bespoke menus tailored to individual preferences and local flavours. Dining experiences range from casual alfresco lunches on the aft deck, bathed in sunlight, to more formal evening affairs in the elegant main saloon. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients are paramount, ensuring every dish is a vibrant celebration of Oceania's bounty. Imagine a sunset barbecue on the beach club, or a sophisticated tasting menu under the stars.
For those seeking invigoration, the onboard gym is equipped for a comprehensive workout, ensuring fitness routines can be maintained whilst at sea. Following exertion, the swimming pool offers a refreshing plunge, whilst expansive sun pads invite relaxation and warmth. The overall design fosters a sense of wellbeing, with ample outdoor spaces encouraging a connection with the elements and promoting a rejuvenating escape from the everyday.
The water toy locker is brimming with an array of equipment to ignite excitement on the waves. From inflatable watertoys and a thrilling banana boat to kayaks and paddleboards for serene exploration, there is something for every inclination. Wakeboarding and water skiing offer adrenaline-pumping fun, whilst light fishing gear provides opportunities for a tranquil pastime. Each toy promises exhilarating interaction with the pristine waters of Oceania.
