A closer look

On Board

The Sun Deck Retreat

Ascend to the sun deck, a generous expanse designed for unhurried moments. Here, plush sun pads invite languid afternoons under the African sun, whilst the gentle sea breeze provides a natural balm. From this elevated vantage, the panoramic ocean views stretch endlessly, offering a perfect backdrop for quiet contemplation or lively conversation. It's a prime spot for observing passing marine life or simply basking in the warmth, a favoured sanctuary throughout the day.

On Board

Aft Deck Al Fresco

The aft deck serves as the heart of outdoor living, seamlessly blending dining and relaxation. A large, shaded table provides the setting for leisurely meals, perhaps a freshly grilled catch from the BBQ, enjoyed against the backdrop of a setting sun. Steps lead down to the hydraulic swim platform, making dips into the azure waters effortless. This space fosters connection, an open-air parlour where the ocean's rhythm becomes your constant companion.

On Board

Saloon Serenity

Step into the main saloon, an air-conditioned haven of cool comfort and understated elegance. Large windows frame the ever-changing seascape, while a well-appointed television offers entertainment should the mood strike. The interior palette is soothing, creating an atmosphere conducive to unwinding after a day of exploration. It's a versatile space, perfect for morning coffee from the onboard machine, an afternoon read, or an evening debrief with fellow voyagers.

On Board

Foredeck Lounge

The foredeck presents another delightful area for repose. Forward-facing sun loungers provide an ideal spot for sunbathing in privacy, offering an unobstructed view of the horizon. As the yacht glides through the water, this space becomes particularly invigorating, with the wind in your hair and the spray on your skin. It’s an intimate setting for those who seek solace and a deeper connection with the open sea.

On Board

Outdoor Shower Refresh

After a invigorating swim or a session with the water toys, the convenient outdoor shower offers a refreshing rinse. Located discreetly, it allows for quick and easy cleansing, preventing sand and salt from entering the interior spaces. This small luxury enhances the overall experience, ensuring comfort and practicality are never compromised, keeping you feeling fresh and ready for your next adventure.

Accommodation

Six well-appointed cabins offer peaceful retreats for up to twelve guests, each designed with understated elegance and a focus on comfort. The layout ensures privacy and space, allowing every guest to unwind completely. Large windows in each cabin invite natural light and offer glimpses of the surrounding seascape, connecting you to the ocean even whilst indoors. Thoughtful touches and ample storage ensure a seamless living experience, reflecting the yacht's commitment to guest satisfaction. The arrangement is ideal for families or groups of friends, providing individual sanctuaries whilst fostering a shared adventure.
