A closer look

The Observation Lounge
Forward on the main deck, expansive windows frame ever-changing vistas of rugged coastlines and serene inlets. Settle into a deep armchair with a steaming mug of local coffee, perhaps spotting a pod of orcas breaching in the distance. The hushed atmosphere, punctuated only by the gentle rhythm of the ocean, invites quiet contemplation and shared moments of awe as the landscape unfolds before your eyes.

Aft Deck Al Fresco
The spacious aft deck transforms into an idyllic setting for open-air dining. Beneath the shelter of the deck above, a substantial table is laid with crisp linens, awaiting the day’s fresh catch. The scent of salt air mingles with the aroma of expertly prepared cuisine, creating an immersive sensory experience unique to yachting. Evenings here are bathed in the soft glow of subtle lighting, perfect for recounting the day’s adventures.

Upper Deck Serenity
Ascend to the upper deck, where an expansive open area provides an uninterrupted vantage point. Here, sun loungers beckon for moments of repose, allowing you to bask in the warmth of the sun or lose yourself in a compelling novel. The fresh breeze invigorates the senses, offering a profound connection to the surrounding natural grandeur, far from the distractions of the shore.

The Main Salon
Step into a welcoming main salon, designed for convivial gatherings and relaxed evenings. Plush seating arrangements invite conversation, perhaps over a perfectly mixed cocktail from the discreet bar. The interior, though classic in its design, offers a comfortable and unpretentious elegance, providing a warm refuge after a day spent exploring the wilder reaches of the Pacific Northwest.

Bridge Deck Views
From the bridge deck, an elevated perspective offers sweeping panoramas. This vantage point is ideal for photography enthusiasts eager to capture the dramatic scale of the landscape or simply for those who wish to watch the world drift by in quiet solitude. The unobstructed sightlines provide an intimate connection with the journey, revealing every subtle shift in the scenery.
Accommodation
Eight well-appointed cabins cater to a diverse group of 22 guests, each designed as a private haven. Layouts vary, offering flexibility for families and couples alike, ensuring personal space and comfort. While specific details of a master suite are tailored to the vessel's original design, all staterooms offer generous proportions and thoughtful amenities. Each cabin provides a tranquil retreat, ensuring restful nights and energising mornings, ready for new explorations along the American West Coast.

Culinary journeys aboard are a celebration of regional flavours, expertly prepared by a dedicated chef. Meals are crafted using the freshest local ingredients, from wild-caught salmon to foraged forest berries. Enjoy leisurely breakfasts on the aft deck, spirited lunches in the salon, or elegant dinners under the stars. The dining experience is fluid and personalised, adapting to your preferences and the day’s itinerary, with each dish a testament to the bounty of the Pacific Northwest.
While a dedicated spa or gym may not be among her original features, the invigorating West Coast air and ample deck spaces provide natural avenues for wellbeing. Start your day with a brisk walk on deck, followed by a moment of quiet reflection as the sun rises over the water. The immersive natural environment itself acts as a restorative balm, offering a profound sense of calm and rejuvenation unique to this charter experience.
The ocean becomes your playground with a curated selection of water toys. Glide across calm bays on kayaks, feeling the cool spray on your face, or master the art of windsurfing with the adult-sized board. For a more exhilarating pace, the Waverunner offers thrilling rides across the waves. Water skis are available for both novice and experienced enthusiasts, ensuring every guest finds their preferred aquatic adventure.

What a yacht like SAFARI QUEST costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on SAFARI QUEST is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 37m 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.
