A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The aft deck serves as the heart of social life on board. Imagine breakfast as the sun climbs, painting the sea in hues of gold, followed by leisurely lunches under the shade of the Bimini. Evenings here are for starlit conversation, a gentle breeze carrying the scent of the sea, laughter echoing softly over the water. It’s an open-air parlour, perfectly balancing convivial atmosphere with the vastness of the ocean.
Saloon Serenity
Step inside to a cool, inviting saloon, a sanctuary from the midday sun. The air conditioning provides a welcome respite, while the indoor audio system sets a refined tone. Plush seating invites relaxation, perhaps with a good book or engaging conversation. It’s a space designed for comfort and connection, where panoramic windows ensure the Caribbean vistas are never far from sight, even when indoors.
Foredeck Lounge
The foredeck offers a prime vantage point, an unhindered expanse for sun-worshippers and stargazers alike. Feel the spray on your skin as the yacht cuts through the waves, or stretch out on comfortable cushions, a cool drink in hand, watching a fiery Caribbean sunset. It’s a versatile space, ideal for quiet contemplation or lively daytime gatherings, always with the horizon as your backdrop.
Outdoor Shower Refresh
After a invigorating swim or a session with the water toys, the outdoor shower provides a refreshing rinse. Its convenience and simple luxury elevate the post-swim ritual, washing away the salt and sand under the open sky. It’s a small detail that speaks volumes about thoughtful design, connecting you directly with the elements while maintaining comfort.
Galley & Bar
The open-plan galley hums with activity, a hub where culinary magic unfolds. Adjacent to it, a well-stocked bar offers bespoke cocktails and chilled refreshments throughout the day. It’s a space that encourages interaction, where guests can observe the chef’s artistry or simply enjoy a perfectly crafted sundowner as the day transitions to evening, fostering a relaxed, convivial atmosphere.
Accommodation
Five well-appointed cabins provide a private haven for up to ten guests. Each space is designed for comfort and repose, featuring thoughtful touches and ample storage. The layout ensures a sense of privacy for all on board, allowing for peaceful slumber after a day of island exploration. Natural light floods the interiors, creating an airy and inviting ambience, while elegant finishes speak to a understated luxury. Crisp linens and plush towels complete the picture of a restful sanctuary.
The culinary journey aboard is a celebration of fresh, local flavours, expertly prepared to your preferences. From vibrant breakfasts served on the aft deck, to leisurely lunches showcasing Caribbean specialities, every meal is an event. Evenings bring sophisticated dinners, perhaps a freshly grilled catch from the BBQ, paired with fine wines under a canopy of stars. The chef crafts bespoke menus, accommodating all tastes and dietary requirements, transforming every meal into a memorable experience.
While a dedicated spa or gym are not found on board, wellness is embraced through immersion in the natural surroundings. Days are spent swimming in crystal-clear waters, paddleboarding in tranquil bays, or simply unwinding on deck, bathed in the warmth of the Caribbean sun. The fresh sea air invigorates, promoting a sense of calm and rejuvenation that only an ocean escape can provide. Your wellbeing is inherently linked to the rhythm of the sea.
An array of water toys invites playful exploration of the Caribbean's azure depths. Glide atop the water on floating mats, discover hidden coves with kayaks, or paddleboard along pristine shorelines. For the thrill-seekers, a towable tube and wakeboard provide exhilarating moments across the waves. All equipment is readily available, encouraging spontaneous adventures and endless hours of aquatic fun for all on board.

What a yacht like TAPAS costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on TAPAS is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 17m 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.
