A closer look
A Panoramic Foredeck Retreat
The expansive foredeck offers more than just a vantage point; it’s a secluded haven. Settle into plush seating around the bespoke table, a cool breeze carrying the scent of the sea as you sip an aperitif. Watch the coastline recede or approach, the horizon stretching endlessly before you. This private aerie, away from the bustle, provides an intimate space for morning coffee or star-gazing after a day of island hopping.
Sun Deck Serenity
Ascend to the sun deck, a realm dedicated to relaxation and unadulterated pleasure. Sink into the inviting warmth of the Jacuzzi, its gentle bubbles soothing tired muscles as the sun dips below the horizon. Scattered sun pads beckon for an afternoon nap or a quiet hour with a good book, while the open expanse invites unhurried contemplation of the surrounding seascape. Here, time slows to the rhythm of the ocean.
The Alluring Beach Club
At the stern, the beach club transforms into your private waterfront oasis. Seamlessly connected to the sea, this versatile space is perfect for launching water toys, taking a refreshing dip, or simply lounging at the water's edge. An outdoor shower awaits to rinse off the saltwater after a swim, ensuring comfort and convenience as you transition from the sea to the yacht's interior.

What a yacht like SOUTH costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on SOUTH is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 55m 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.
