A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
Step onto the generous aft deck, where the soft sea breeze is a constant companion. Here, a polished teak table invites leisurely breakfasts as the sun ascends, or candlelit suppers under a canopy of stars. The gentle hum of the yacht at anchor, paired with the distant lapping of waves, creates an atmosphere of profound tranquility. It’s a space designed for connection, for sharing stories and savouring the breathtaking backdrop of the Mediterranean coastline.
The Helm's Embrace
Positioned for optimal views, the main helm offers an exhilarating perspective as the yacht glides across the waves. Though primarily the domain of the captain, guests are welcome to observe the intricate dance of navigation. Feel the subtle vibrations of the powerful engines below, and witness the mesmerising play of light on the water ahead. It’s an immersion into the very heart of the yacht’s journey, a testament to her engineering and purpose.
Salon Sanctuary
Descend into the main salon, a cool and inviting retreat from the midday sun. Plush seating in muted tones offers a comfortable haven for quiet contemplation or lively conversation. The indoor audio system fills the space with your chosen soundtrack, creating a bespoke ambiance. Large windows frame the ever-changing seascape, ensuring that even indoors, you remain connected to the beauty of your surroundings, a true escape from the ordinary.
Foredeck Solace
The expansive foredeck beckons with its promise of sun-drenched relaxation. Here, cushioned sunpads invite you to recline and soak in the warmth, perhaps with a book or a cool drink in hand. It’s the ideal spot for private sunbathing, feeling the gentle spray as the yacht cuts through the water, or simply gazing out at the endless horizon. The sensation of open air and boundless ocean is utterly invigorating.
Open-Air Refreshment
Discover the invigorating outdoor shower on the stern, a truly refreshing experience after a dip in the sea. The warm sun on your skin, a gentle breeze, and the rhythmic sound of water create a moment of pure, unadulterated bliss. It's a simple luxury that elevates the everyday, a tactile connection to the elements, washing away the salt and leaving you feeling revitalised and at peace.
Accommodation
Below deck, three beautifully appointed cabins await, offering serene slumber for up to six guests. The master suite, positioned for privacy, features a king-sized berth and an en-suite bathroom, a tranquil space designed for restorative rest. Two further guest cabins provide comfortable havens, each thoughtfully designed with ample storage and soft lighting, ensuring every occupant finds their personal sanctuary. The layout prioritises comfort and intimacy, fostering a sense of peaceful retreat after a day of Mediterranean adventure. Each space speaks to understated elegance, with natural materials and meticulous finishes creating an atmosphere of refined comfort.
While a dedicated chef is not part of this intimate charter, the singular crew member excels in crafting delightful, light fare and arranging bespoke dining experiences ashore. Imagine freshly prepared local delicacies served al fresco on the aft deck, the scent of the sea mingling with aromatic herbs. Provisions can be tailored to your preferences, ensuring every meal, whether a simple breakfast or a more elaborate dinner, is a culinary pleasure. Explore vibrant markets with your captain to select the freshest ingredients, making each meal a personal journey through Mediterranean flavours.
Wellness aboard is intrinsically linked to the yacht’s intimate connection with the natural world. Mornings can begin with invigorating swims in secluded coves, followed by sunbathing on the foredeck, absorbing the restorative power of the sun. The outdoor shower offers a refreshing cleanse after a dip, a simple pleasure that revitalises the senses. The pure sea air and the gentle rhythm of the waves create an inherently calming environment, encouraging deep relaxation and a profound sense of well-being.
This charter focuses on the purity of the sea experience. While there isn't an extensive collection of large water toys, the yacht provides direct access to the crystal-clear waters of the East Mediterranean for swimming and snorkelling. The tender is always at your disposal for exploring hidden coves, accessing idyllic beaches, or whisking you ashore for charming village excursions. The emphasis is on appreciating the natural beauty of your surroundings, unencumbered by excessive equipment.

What a yacht like SHAFT costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on SHAFT is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 19m 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.
