A closer look

The Aft Deck Oasis
The aft deck serves as the yacht’s social heart, a seamless extension of the interior living space. Here, the aroma of a sizzling barbecue often mingles with the salty air, creating an inviting atmosphere for casual lunches or evening celebrations. Plush seating beckons for languid afternoons spent with a book, or lively conversations accompanied by the gentle lapping of waves. It’s an ideal vantage point for watching the Caribbean coastline drift by, a constant reminder of the beauty that surrounds you.

The Foredeck Lounge
Venture forward to discover the expansive foredeck, a sun-drenched haven perfect for soaking up the tropical rays. With its generous proportions, there's ample space for everyone to recline and unwind, perhaps with a refreshing drink in hand. This area transforms into a magical spot for stargazing after dusk, far from the light pollution of shore. The gentle sway of the catamaran and the panoramic ocean views create an unparalleled sense of serenity and escape.

Interior Salon Comfort
Within the salon, air conditioning provides a welcome respite from the midday sun, creating a cool and inviting sanctuary. The interior audio system fills the space with your chosen soundtrack, setting the mood for relaxation or lively conversation. Large windows frame the ever-changing seascape, ensuring you never feel disconnected from your surroundings, even when enjoying the comfort of the indoors. It’s a versatile space, perfect for quiet contemplation or shared moments with loved ones.

The Swim Platform
The integrated swim platform offers effortless access to the inviting turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Imagine diving directly into the refreshing sea for a morning swim, or simply dangling your feet in the cool embrace of the ocean. It’s also the launchpad for all your aquatic adventures, making transitions between onboard comfort and watery excitement utterly seamless. An outdoor shower ensures a quick rinse after each invigorating dip.

Starlit Dining
Evenings aboard are often defined by the exquisite experience of dining al fresco. Whether it's a perfectly grilled catch from the BBQ or a meticulously prepared meal, the setting under the vast Caribbean sky elevates every flavour. The gentle breeze, the soft glow of ambient lighting, and the rhythmic sounds of the ocean create an atmosphere that is both intimate and expansive. Each meal becomes a cherished memory, savoured in unparalleled surroundings.

Across five thoughtfully designed cabins, ten guests find their private retreats. Each space is conceived with comfort and repose in mind, offering a serene haven after days filled with Caribbean adventures.

Soft linens, ample storage, and subtle lighting create an inviting atmosphere, ensuring restful nights as the yacht gently sways. Wake each morning to the promise of another sun-drenched day, feeling refreshed and ready for exploration.



The culinary journey aboard is a highlight, with every meal crafted to delight. From freshly caught seafood grilled to perfection on the BBQ to vibrant, locally inspired dishes, the focus is on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Dining can be enjoyed al fresco on the aft deck, bathed in the warmth of the sun or under a blanket of stars, or within the cool comfort of the salon. The crew are adept at tailoring menus to individual preferences, ensuring each gastronomic experience is a personal indulgence.
While a dedicated spa or gym is not present, the yacht itself promotes a profound sense of wellbeing. The constant fresh air, the soothing rhythm of the ocean, and the opportunity for daily swims in crystal-clear waters act as natural tonics. Engage in paddleboarding for a gentle workout, or simply recline on the foredeck, allowing the sun and sea breeze to rejuvenate your spirit. The tranquil environment is designed for complete relaxation.
The Caribbean waters are your playground, and a collection of engaging water toys awaits. Glide across the surface on paddleboards, exploring hidden coves and tranquil shallows. For those seeking a bit more exhilaration, the towable tube promises thrilling rides across the waves.

What a yacht like PERMABEAR costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on PERMABEAR is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 17m 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.
