A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The aft deck becomes your primary gathering place, where the sun warms your skin and the scent of salt air invigorates. Imagine morning coffee brewed to perfection, enjoyed as the gentle sway of the vessel lulls you into the day. Later, the BBQ sizzles with fresh catches, transforming into an open-air dining room under a canopy of stars. An outdoor shower provides a refreshing rinse after a swim, keeping the ocean close at hand.
Light-Filled Saloon
Below deck, the saloon offers a cool, inviting retreat. Natural light streams through ample windows, illuminating comfortable seating arrangements perfect for conversation or quiet contemplation. An integrated indoor audio system and TV provide entertainment should you desire a break from the sun, creating a comfortable haven where you can unwind with a good book or connect with loved ones over a favourite film, all in air-conditioned comfort.
Foredeck Serenity
Forward, the deck offers an expansive canvas for sunbathing or simply enjoying the panoramic views. Feel the sea spray on your face as the yacht glides effortlessly at 8 knots, a truly unburdened feeling. This is the spot for quiet contemplation, perhaps with a good book, or simply to marvel at the endless horizon. The gentle rocking of the ocean becomes a natural lullaby, a profound sense of peace settling over you.
Swim Platform Access
The integrated swim platform provides effortless access to the crystal-clear Caribbean waters. Whether you're launching a paddleboard for a morning exploration or simply dipping your toes in the refreshing ocean, this dedicated space makes every aquatic adventure seamless. It's the gateway to your immediate surroundings, fostering an intimate connection with the sea. Here, the boundary between yacht and ocean softly blurs.
Connected Comforts
Even while at sea, modern conveniences ensure you remain comfortably connected. Wi-Fi allows for seamless communication and sharing of your experiences, while an iPod dock ensures your personal soundtrack accompanies every moment. This blend of remote beauty and thoughtful connectivity means you can truly unwind without feeling completely cutoff, striking a perfect balance between adventure and digital ease.
Accommodation
Five well-appointed cabins provide private retreats for up to ten guests, each designed for serene slumber. The layout offers flexibility, accommodating families or groups of friends with ease. Soft linens and thoughtful details create a welcoming atmosphere, ensuring restful nights after exhilarating days. Each space is a tranquil haven, allowing every guest to find their own corner of peace and privacy aboard this magnificent sailing yacht.
Culinary delights are a cornerstone of the charter experience. Your dedicated crew orchestrates exquisite meals, tailored to your preferences, whether it's freshly grilled Caribbean lobster prepared on the BBQ or a delicately crafted gourmet dinner served in the saloon. Enjoy vibrant breakfasts al fresco, casual lunches on deck, and elegant evening meals under the stars, all prepared with the freshest local ingredients. Every meal is an event, a celebration of flavour and setting.
While a dedicated spa or gym is not on board, the yacht itself offers a profound sense of wellness. The fresh ocean air invigorates, the gentle rocking soothes, and the expansive decks provide ample space for morning stretches or quiet meditation. The outdoor shower offers a refreshing cleanse, a simple luxury connecting you directly with the elements. True rejuvenation comes from the Caribbean's embrace, fostering a deep sense of peace and vitality.
An exciting array of water toys awaits, ensuring endless entertainment on the Caribbean's azure canvas. Glide across the surface on paddleboards, experience the thrill of a towable tube, or master the wakeboard. Both adult and child water skis cater to all ages and skill levels, while light and big game fishing gear promises exciting angling adventures. Beach games provide further diversion for shoreside fun.

In 1989, I assisted my parents in their preparation for a transatlantic crossing from California to Scotland. Though I did not get to make that voyage, it did ignite my passion for sailing and the ocean. I began my career as an engineer on a crew of 5 and eventually earned my 200GRT/500 GT USCG license. Since then, I have worked on vessels of varying sizes; 65' to 245'. From scuba dive liveaboards to Alaskan Summer adventure boats. During these past 25 years in this industry, I have participated in organized shark feeds, visited many Islands (Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Puerto Rico, USVI's, and BVI's), explored uninhabited Islands, crossed the Gulf Stream countless times, and even wrote a #1 Amazon scuba travel guide: Bahamas Bucket List for Divers: Bimini Edition.

It was a typical Michigan Winter in the Upper Peninsula, January 2011. I was packing in the middle of a blizzard and was headed to the US Virgin Islands — my first time in The Caribbean. I knew nothing about sailing, and even less about the ocean and scuba diving. From Florida and The Caribbean all the way to Alaska, I have enjoyed feeding and entertaining guests from all over the world. Using local ingredients along the way and always taking in the latest food and drink trends. My Fiancé and Captain would call me a "foodie," but I just love and get excited about food. Being a part of guests' underwater experiences has been a great pleasure of my life. Teaching them about the world below is another true passion of mine. I now hold my Rescue Diver certification, STCW, and have over ten years of sea time.

The most common questions we receive about chartering TOUCH THE SKY. For anything specific to your dates, guest list or itinerary, message us directly.
What a yacht like TOUCH THE SKY costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on TOUCH THE SKY is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 18m 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.
