A closer look
The Sun-Drenched Aft Deck
The aft deck serves as the heart of outdoor living, an inviting space for morning coffee or evening aperitifs. Here, the aroma of grilled delights from the BBQ might drift on the breeze as you watch the changing coastline. Comfortable seating invites lingering conversations, while the gentle sway of the ocean beneath you provides a constant, soothing rhythm. It's a natural extension of the saloon, blurring the lines between indoor sophistication and the boundless expanse of the ocean. This space truly celebrates open-air living.
Refined Saloon Retreat
Within the saloon, a sense of quiet elegance prevails. Rich timber finishes, bathed in natural light, create an inviting atmosphere for relaxation. Sink into plush seating with a book from the ship's collection, or gather for an evening film on the integrated television, complete with satellite channels. The indoor audio system provides a subtle soundtrack to moments of repose. It’s a versatile space, perfect for intimate conversations or simply unwinding in air-conditioned comfort after a day spent under the Californian sun.
Upper Deck Sun Loungers
Ascend to the upper deck where a collection of inviting sun loungers awaits. This elevated vantage point offers uninterrupted views of the passing seascape, ideal for observing marine life or simply basking in the warmth of the sun. With a refreshing drink from the ice maker close at hand, and the gentle rock of the ocean, it’s a private haven for soaking up the coastal beauty. Whether seeking a golden tan or a quiet moment of contemplation, this space offers supreme comfort and captivating panoramas.
Seamless Swim Platform Access
The integrated swim platform stands as your gateway to the azure waters. Designed for ease and enjoyment, it provides effortless access for swimming, launching watersports, or simply dipping your toes in the refreshing ocean. An outdoor shower ensures a comfortable rinse after each dip. This thoughtfully designed feature transforms the stern into a private beach club, inviting spontaneous plunges and hours of aquatic delight, all directly from the comfort of your yacht.
Stabilised Ocean Comfort
Beneath the waterline, PANACHE's stabilisers work discreetly to ensure a remarkably smooth journey. Even when coastal breezes stir the ocean, you’ll experience a heightened sense of calm and stability, enhancing comfort for all on board. This engineering refinement means less interruption to your onboard activities, whether dining, relaxing in the saloon, or drifting off to sleep. It allows guests to fully immerse themselves in the beauty of the West Coast, unperturbed by the ocean's gentle undulations.
Accommodation
PANACHE offers four well-appointed cabins, accommodating eight guests with ease. The layout provides a comfortable retreat for everyone, each space designed for privacy and relaxation. The master suite, typically positioned for maximum comfort and light, provides a serene sanctuary. Each cabin is a haven of peace, allowing guests to unwind fully after a day of coastal exploration, ensuring restorative sleep and a fresh start to each new day. Rich textures and thoughtful details characterise these private quarters.
Culinary experiences on PANACHE are a celebration of fresh, local flavours, prepared by a dedicated chef. Enjoy al fresco dining on the aft deck, where a built-in BBQ promises sizzling seafood and grilled delights under the open sky. Inside, the elegant saloon offers a more formal setting for evenings, complemented by a sophisticated coffee machine for morning brews and after-dinner espressos. Every meal becomes a memorable event, tailored to your preferences and enhanced by the stunning coastal backdrop.
While PANACHE doesn't feature a dedicated spa, the yacht itself promotes a profound sense of wellbeing. The open-air deck spaces, particularly the sun loungers, invite guests to embrace the restorative power of sunshine and fresh sea air. The gentle motion of the yacht, coupled with the serene coastal views, provides a natural balm for the soul. An outdoor shower offers a refreshing rinse after a swim, contributing to a feeling of revitalisation. This is wellness found in the simple luxury of being at sea.
The water toy collection aboard PANACHE promises endless aquatic fun. Take to the waves on a stand-up Jet Ski, feeling the spray and exhilaration as you explore secluded coves. For a more leisurely pace, the kayaks offer a silent glide across calm waters, perfect for observing marine life up close. Thrill-seekers will enjoy the towable tube, pulled behind the tender for an exciting ride. Light fishing gear is also on hand for those wishing to cast a line and try their luck in the rich coastal waters.

What a yacht like PANACHE costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on PANACHE is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 26m 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.
