A closer look
Aft Deck Alfresco
The aft deck is an inviting expanse, a seamless extension of the saloon. Here, the Caribbean sun warms the teak underfoot as comfortable seating beckons for morning coffee or sundowners. The BBQ grill, a focal point, promises succulent catches of the day, prepared and shared amidst the gentle rocking of the ocean. This space transitions effortlessly from lively daytime hub to tranquil evening retreat, with panoramic views of the turquoise expanse stretching to the horizon.
Saloon Sanctuary
Step inside to a cool, air-conditioned sanctuary where light floods through large windows, illuminating a sophisticated yet comfortable interior. The TV saloon offers a perfect spot for movie nights or quiet contemplation, its plush seating designed for prolonged relaxation. An indoor audio system, complete with an iPod dock, sets the mood, whether it's a vibrant Caribbean beat or a soothing classical score, creating an atmosphere of refined ease for all aboard.
Foredeck Lounge
The foredeck presents an expansive canvas for sun-worshippers and stargazers alike. Cushioned sunpads invite hours of blissful repose, the gentle spray from the bow a cooling caress. This open-air lounge is ideal for private moments, perhaps with a good book, or for gathering together to watch the sunset paint the sky in fiery hues. The vastness of the ocean stretching ahead provides an ever-changing, compelling backdrop to every moment spent here.
Swim Platform Access
The integrated swim platform offers direct, effortless entry into the warm Caribbean sea. It's a launchpad for aquatic adventures, an easy spot to rinse off under the outdoor shower after a refreshing dip, or simply to sit at the water's edge, trailing toes in the crystal-clear depths. Designed for both convenience and pleasure, this platform becomes a central point for engaging with the marine environment and enjoying the invigorating ocean air.
Bridge Deck Views
Ascend to the bridge deck, an elevated vantage point offering unparalleled views across the rolling waves and distant shorelines. Here, the gentle breeze is a constant companion, and the sense of freedom is palpable. It's a spot for quiet observation or engaging conversation, a place to truly appreciate the vastness and beauty of the open sea. This elevated position provides a unique perspective, making every journey an unfolding panorama.
Accommodation
SHIPS & GIGGLES comfortably hosts ten guests within five thoughtfully arranged cabins. Each space is a private retreat, bathed in soft light and appointed with subtle nautical elegance. The layout is designed to maximise comfort and privacy, with configurations that cater equally to families and groups of friends. Crisp linens and ample storage ensure a serene environment, while individual climate control allows for personalised comfort throughout the Caribbean nights. The design promotes a sense of calm and quiet reflection, a perfect counterpoint to lively days on deck.
Culinary experiences aboard SHIPS & GIGGLES are a celebration of fresh, local flavours. The onboard chef crafts bespoke menus, from vibrant breakfasts enjoyed al fresco on the aft deck, to elegant evening meals served under the stars. The BBQ grill is a frequent highlight, delivering perfectly seared catches of the day – perhaps a tuna reeled in with the yacht's big game fishing gear. Dining can be a formal affair in the saloon or a relaxed, barefoot feast by the water's edge, adapting to the mood of the moment.
While SHIPS & GIGGLES doesn't boast a dedicated spa, the yacht itself acts as a sanctuary for wellbeing. The refreshing outdoor shower provides an invigorating rinse after a swim, and the expansive decks offer ample space for sunrise yoga or quiet contemplation. The Caribbean's gentle breezes and warm sun naturally invite a sense of relaxation and rejuvenation, making every moment an opportunity to unwind and reconnect with oneself amidst the beauty of the sea.
The ocean surrounding SHIPS & GIGGLES is a playground, equipped with an array of water toys to enhance every Caribbean adventure. Glide across the calm waters on paddleboards or kayaks, exploring hidden coves and vibrant reefs. For those seeking a thrill, the kneeboard and towable tube promise exhilarating rides, while floating mats offer a serene way to drift and soak up the sun. Light fishing gear is also on hand for casual angling, complementing the more serious pursuits of big game fishing.
