A closer look
The Aft Deck Sanctuary
The aft deck of this elegant sailing yacht becomes a private haven, bathed in the soft morning light. Here, beneath the shelter of the bimini, one can savour a freshly brewed coffee as the Turkish coast unfurls in the distance. The gentle sway of the hull against the waves provides a soothing soundtrack, inviting quiet contemplation or lively conversation with loved ones. It’s a prime spot for observing the dramatic islandscapes of the Cyclades or simply enjoying the vast expanse of the sky above.
Saloon's Cool Comfort
Below deck, the saloon offers a welcome respite from the midday sun, its air-conditioned interior a cool oasis. Plush seating invites relaxation, perhaps with a good book from the yacht’s small collection or enjoying a film on the TV saloon. The clever use of natural light, filtering in through the deck hatches, creates an inviting and airy atmosphere. This space seamlessly blends comfort with understated elegance, perfect for an evening aperitif or a quiet moment of reflection.
Foredeck Sun Lounging
The expansive foredeck beckons sun worshippers and stargazers alike. Here, stretched out on comfortable cushions, one can feel the warmth of the sun on their skin as the yacht slices through the waves. In the evenings, far from city lights, this becomes an unparalleled observatory for the celestial dance above, the gentle lapping of water against the hull the only disturbance to the profound quiet. It’s an ideal spot for an invigorating morning yoga session or simply soaking in the panoramic vistas.
Integrated Audio Experience
Throughout the interior, an integrated audio system sets the mood, offering a carefully curated soundtrack to your journey. From classical melodies accompanying a leisurely breakfast to upbeat tunes for an evening cocktail, the sound is crisp and clear, never intrusive. This thoughtful amenity ensures that whether you’re lounging in the saloon or preparing for dinner, the perfect atmosphere is always at your fingertips, enhancing every moment of your charter.
Seamless Connectivity
Despite the feeling of splendid isolation, Wi-Fi connectivity ensures you remain gently connected to the world, if you so choose. Share breathtaking sunset photographs with friends, catch up on important emails, or simply browse the news. This modern convenience is seamlessly integrated, allowing you to balance moments of digital connection with the profound tranquility of life at sea, all while cruising the beautiful East Mediterranean.
Accommodation
UHURU accommodates six guests across three thoughtfully appointed cabins, each a serene sanctuary. The layout provides a sense of privacy and comfort, with ample storage for personal belongings. The master suite, in particular, offers generous space and natural light, creating a peaceful retreat at the end of a day filled with sun and sea. Every detail, from the crisp linens to the subtle maritime decor, contributes to an atmosphere of understated luxury, ensuring restful nights as the yacht gently sails under the starlit sky. Each cabin promises a tranquil haven for rejuvenation.
Culinary delights aboard UHURU are a highlight of the charter experience, with a dedicated chef crafting exquisite meals tailored to your preferences. Fresh, local ingredients, often sourced from the very shores you explore, form the basis of each dish. Whether it’s a vibrant meze served al fresco on the aft deck, a formal dinner in the saloon, or a relaxed barbecue under the stars, every meal is an event. The emphasis is on flavour, freshness, and presentation, perfectly complementing the stunning backdrops of the East Mediterranean.
While UHURU does not feature a dedicated spa or gym, the entire yacht, and indeed the surrounding environment, serves as a natural wellness retreat. Start your day with a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters, followed by sun salutations on the foredeck as the sun rises. The gentle rhythm of sailing, the clean sea air, and the complete escape from daily routines offer an unparalleled sense of rejuvenation and calm, fostering a deep connection with nature and personal well-being.
For those eager to engage with the aquatic environment, UHURU offers a selection of water toys. Two kayaks provide the perfect means to explore hidden coves and secluded beaches, paddling through tranquil turquoise waters at your own pace. Discover the vibrant marine life just beneath the surface or simply enjoy the unique perspective of your yacht from a distance. These simple yet engaging toys promise hours of active enjoyment and discovery for all on board.

What a yacht like UHURU costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on UHURU 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.
