Sun-Drenched Upper Deck

Ascend to the sundeck, a sanctuary under the Caribbean sky. Here, the generous Jacuzzi beckons for an indulgent soak, its warm bubbles easing any lingering tension. Adjacent, plush sun loungers invite languid afternoons spent with a book or simply gazing at the horizon. An outdoor bar, artfully integrated, ensures refreshing libations are always at hand, served amidst the gentle hum of the ocean.

On Board

Foredeck Sanctuary

Discover a secluded haven at the yacht's bow. Thoughtfully designed foredeck seating, complete with a coordinating table, provides a private aerie for morning coffee as the sun rises, or for evening cocktails under a canopy of stars. It's a spot for quiet conversation, for watching dolphins play at the bow, or simply for absorbing the vastness of the open sea in undisturbed tranquility.

On Board

Saloon's Refined Comfort

The main saloon offers a sophisticated yet inviting retreat. Bathed in natural light streaming through large windows, the space is meticulously appointed with contemporary furnishings and subtle artistic touches.

On Board

Seamless Swim Platform

The expansive swim platform serves as your gateway to the azure waters. Lowered effortlessly, it becomes a private beach at sea level, offering easy access for a refreshing dip or for launching the array of water toys. It's also the ideal spot to simply sit at the water's edge, feeling the gentle undulation of the waves and basking in the warmth of the Caribbean sun.

Accommodation

Five impeccably appointed cabins provide restful havens for up to ten guests. The primary cabin, a lavish sanctuary, features a large screen television and generous proportions, offering a private escape. Each of the remaining cabins is a testament to comfort, ensuring every guest enjoys their own serene space.
