A closer look

The Sun Deck Retreat
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.

Aft Deck Al Fresco
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.

Saloon Serenity
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.

Foredeck Lounge
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.

Outdoor Shower Refresh
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.

Dining

Culinary journeys aboard are crafted to delight, with a skilled chef utilising the freshest local ingredients sourced from each captivating port. Meals can be savoured al fresco on the aft deck, where the sea breeze and stunning views enhance every flavour, or in the comfortable saloon. From hearty breakfasts to elegant dinners, each dish is prepared with passion and presented beautifully. The integrated BBQ allows for informal, sizzling feasts under the stars, adding another dimension to the yacht's gastronomic offerings.

Wellness

Whilst a dedicated spa or gym is not present, the very essence of a charter aboard this yacht promotes a holistic sense of well-being. The invigorating sea air, the soothing motion of the ocean, and opportunities for swimming and water sports contribute to a revitalised spirit. Ample sunbathing areas and quiet nooks encourage relaxation and mindfulness, providing a natural escape from the everyday.

Toys & Tenders

The yacht carries a delightful array of water toys, promising endless fun on the waves. Paddleboards invite exploration of calm coves, whilst the sailing dinghy offers a taste of traditional sailing. For those seeking exhilaration, wakeboarding and water skiing (both adult and child sets available) provide thrilling rides. A towable tube adds to the excitement, ensuring guests of all ages find joy in the crystal-clear waters. Basic fishing gear is also on hand for those wishing to try their luck.

Ownership economics

What a yacht like SPIRIT OF PONANT costs to own — not just to charter

A charter week on SPIRIT OF PONANT is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 24m 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.
