A closer look
The Main Saloon's Embrace
Step into a main saloon where polished cherry wood gleams under soft, recessed lighting. Expansive windows frame the passing seascape, inviting the turquoise hues indoors. Plush, cream-coloured sofas offer an inviting space for morning coffee brewed with the integrated machine, or an evening gathered around the local television, the indoor audio system providing a tailored soundtrack to moments of quiet contemplation or lively conversation.
A Cinematic Escape
Descend into the yacht's private movie theatre, a dedicated space designed for ultimate relaxation. Sink into deep, comfortable seating as the lights dim, transforming the sea-faring vessel into an intimate silver screen experience. With an extensive MP3 music server also available, this versatile lounge offers both cinematic thrills and a bespoke auditory journey, perfect for unwinding after a day on deck.
Aft Deck Alfresco
The aft deck presents a coveted setting for open-air living. A polished teak table, comfortably seating all eight guests, is ideal for long, leisurely breakfasts bathed in the morning sun or star-lit dinners. The gentle sea breeze and rhythmic lapping of waves provide a natural backdrop, creating an idyllic atmosphere for sharing stories and savouring the flavours of the Mediterranean.
The Foredeck Haven
Forward, a secluded sun-pad area beckons. Here, the ocean stretches boundlessly before you, offering an unobstructed panorama. This tranquil space is perfect for quiet contemplation, soaking up the sun's warmth, or perhaps spotting dolphins as you glide through the water. A gentle spray from the bow often cools the air, adding to the refreshing experience.
Bridge Deck Command
Ascend to the flybridge, a vantage point offering commanding views and an exhilarating sense of freedom. This upper deck provides an alternative social space, ideal for enjoying a sundowner as the horizon blazes with colour. The fresh sea air invigorates, making this spot a favourite for those who appreciate the vastness of the open ocean and the thrill of speed.
Accommodation
Below deck, four thoughtfully arranged cabins provide tranquil havens for eight guests. The master suite, positioned forward, boasts generous proportions, a private en-suite, and its own television, offering a secluded retreat. Two comfortable double cabins and a versatile twin cabin complete the guest accommodation, each featuring individual televisions and ample storage. Fine linens and soft lighting create an inviting atmosphere, ensuring restful nights after exhilarating days exploring the East Mediterranean. The layout provides both privacy and comfort for all on board.

Culinary delights are a cornerstone of the experience. The onboard chef crafts exquisite dishes, drawing inspiration from the rich flavours of the East Mediterranean. Meals can be enjoyed in the elegant main saloon, where large windows offer scenic backdrops, or alfresco on the aft deck, under the warm sun or a canopy of stars. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients are paramount, ensuring every meal is a vibrant celebration of the region's produce.
While not boasting a dedicated spa, the yacht offers ample opportunities for rejuvenation. The expansive exterior decks provide perfect spots for sunbathing and quiet reflection. The invigorating sensation of the sea air and the gentle motion of the yacht are inherently restorative, while the comfortable indoor spaces offer sanctuary for rest and quiet enjoyment of the onboard entertainment options.
The water beckons with an exciting array of toys. Glide across the surface on a wakeboard or kneeboard, feeling the spray and thrill of speed. Two paddleboards offer a serene way to explore hidden coves and tranquil anchorages at your own pace. A nimble scooter provides quick shore excursions, and for those who enjoy the sport, light fishing gear is also available, inviting a connection with the aquatic world.

SAKURA: your questions, answered

What a yacht like SAKURA costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on SAKURA is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 22m 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.
