A closer look

On Board

The Main Saloon

Beneath polished wooden beams, the saloon offers a welcoming sanctuary. Sunlight streams through portholes, illuminating comfortable seating upholstered in nautical tones. It is a space for quiet contemplation with a book, lively conversation over cocktails, or a convivial board game with fellow voyagers. The craftsmanship speaks of a bygone era, yet the atmosphere is entirely relaxed and conducive to genuine connection, far from the hurried pace of the shore.

On Board

Aft Deck Al Fresco

The aft deck is where the Caribbean spirit truly unfolds. A sheltered dining area invites long, leisurely lunches, the sea breeze a constant companion. In the evenings, with the stars emerging, it transforms into a romantic setting for candlelit dinners, the gentle sway of the yacht adding to the magic. It is also the perfect spot for morning coffee, watching the world awaken around you, or an afternoon siesta in the shade.

On Board

Foredeck Serenity

Forward, the expansive foredeck offers an uninterrupted vista of the ocean. Here, you can recline on comfortable cushions, feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin and the salt spray on your face as the yacht glides through turquoise waters. It is an ideal spot for sunbathing, a private yoga session at dawn, or simply gazing at the horizon, lost in the vastness of the sea and sky.

On Board

The Helm Station

For those with a love of sailing, the helm provides an engaging vantage point. Observe the intricate workings of a classic sailing yacht, perhaps even taking a turn at the wheel under the watchful eye of the Captain. Feel the power of the wind in the sails and the responsiveness of the vessel beneath you, connecting with the elemental forces that propel you across the Caribbean.

On Board

Galley & Pantry

While often unseen, the heart of the yacht's culinary magic resides within the well-appointed galley. It is here that the skilled chef crafts delectable meals, utilising fresh, local ingredients. Though a working space, its efficiency and organisation contribute directly to the seamless flow of your charter, ensuring every meal is a delightful surprise, delivered with understated elegance.

Accommodation

The yacht accommodates six guests across three thoughtfully designed cabins, each a private haven of comfort. The master suite offers generous proportions, a queen-sized berth, and an en-suite bathroom, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of island hopping. The additional cabins, equally inviting, are perfect for family or friends, each appointed with fine linens and ample storage. Throughout, rich wood panelling and soft lighting create an ambience of understated luxury, ensuring restful nights at anchor or underway.
