A closer look

On Board

Foredeck Sanctuary

The foredeck unfolds as a private oasis. Cushioned sun pads invite languid afternoons spent beneath the Caribbean sun, while the adjacent seating area, centered around a polished table, provides an idyllic setting for morning coffee or sunset cocktails. The gentle sway of the ocean, the warmth of the wood underfoot, and the endless horizon create an atmosphere of pure, unadulterated relaxation.

On Board

Aft Deck Al Fresco Dining

Beneath the soft glow of evening lights, the aft deck transforms into an inviting outdoor dining room. The aroma of a freshly grilled repast from the onboard BBQ mingles with the salty air. This space, designed for convivial moments, allows for unhurried meals with the backdrop of a glittering anchorage, the gentle lapping of waves a constant lullaby. An outdoor bar ensures refreshments are always at hand.

On Board

Hydraulic Swim Platform

Effortless access to the azure waters is granted by the hydraulic swim platform. This versatile extension of the yacht provides a seamless transition from deck to ocean, whether for a refreshing dip, launching a paddleboard, or simply sitting at water level, feeling the cool spray. An outdoor shower offers a quick rinse after a swim, enhancing the sense of seaside living.

On Board

Saloon Comforts

Within the main saloon, air-conditioned comfort awaits. A sophisticated indoor audio system sets the mood, while a discreet television offers entertainment for those moments of respite from the sun. Plush seating invites quiet contemplation or engaging conversation, a cool haven where the day's adventures can be recounted, or plans for tomorrow's explorations can be gently unfurled.

Starlink Connectivity

Even in the most remote anchorages, Starlink Satellite Internet ensures a reliable connection to the outside world. Whether sharing moments with loved ones ashore, catching up on global news, or simply browsing, this seamless connectivity allows guests to remain as connected as they desire, blending the serenity of a remote charter with the conveniences of modern life.

Each cabin is a sanctuary of calm, with ample storage and soft lighting. The master suite, positioned for optimal light and views, offers a generous space to unwind.

The Crew

A professional crew of 2 dedicated to your charter.

Captain

Bertie

South Africa

Bertie is a whiz in mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering, especially in the mining world, where he’s got the know-how to tackle any challenge. When he's off the clock, you’ll find Bertie living it up on the golf course, deep-sea fishing, or sailing the high seas. His love for the ocean is contagious—whether he’s scuba diving, embarking on outdoor escapades, or just soaking up the salt air. Bertie’s also a top-notch hunter who always keeps safety in mind. Last year, he and Michelle had a blast exploring the Caribbean Islands, basking in those stunning, crystal-clear waters. Bertie’s passion for sailing took off during carefree days with friends on the water, and the sea has become his happy place, where he feels right at home.

Chef

Michelle

South Africa

Michelle spent her weekdays conquering the corporate jungle in distribution and logistics, but her weekends were a thrilling escape. She’d grab her friends and set sail along the breathtaking Garden Route coastline, with the majestic Knysna Heads as backdrop. It was on these nautical adventures that Michelle discovered her deep love for the sea. She eventually took a bold leap, leaving behind the corporate grind to team up with Bertie for a life brimming with adventure. Michelle’s flair for cooking turned into a gourmet delight on the high seas, as she whipped up scrumptious meals for their guests. With snorkelling and island-hopping becoming her daily delights, Michelle’s new life is a perfect blend of culinary creativity and oceanic exploration.
