A closer look
Sun Deck Sanctuary
Ascend to the sun deck, a generous expanse crafted for unadulterated relaxation. Here, the warmth of the Caribbean sun can be savoured from plush sun pads, offering uninterrupted views of the passing islands. The gentle sea breeze carries the scent of salt and freedom, while the integrated Jacuzzi beckons for a restorative soak under the open sky, a perfect prelude to an evening cocktail as twilight paints the horizon.
The Captain’s Quarters
Beyond the helm, the wheelhouse offers a vantage point rarely afforded to guests. Observe the captain and crew as they navigate, the hum of the engines a comforting rhythm beneath the polished instruments. This space, though functional, exudes a quiet competence, a testament to the vessel's capability and the expertise guiding your journey through the crystalline waters of the Marshall Islands flag.
Main Saloon Serenity
Step into the main saloon, a haven of understated elegance where natural light streams through expansive windows, illuminating a sophisticated interior palette. Comfortable seating arrangements invite leisurely conversation or quiet contemplation. The ambient air conditioning provides a welcome respite from the Caribbean heat, creating a perfectly tempered environment for reading, enjoying a film, or simply watching the waves glide by from within a cocoon of comfort.
Foredeck Panorama
The foredeck offers an exhilarating sense of freedom, an ideal spot for morning coffee as the sun rises, or for dolphin spotting during a calm passage. With the gentle sway of the ocean beneath, it provides an unparalleled perspective of the yacht's prow cutting through the water. This open space, with its refreshing breeze, is a favourite for those seeking a moment of solitude or an invigorating breath of fresh sea air.
Swim Platform Access
The integrated swim platform stands as your gateway to the ocean's embrace. Effortless access to the inviting turquoise waters allows for impromptu dips or the seamless launch of water toys. It's a natural extension of the yacht, transforming the stern into a private beach club, perfect for sunbathing at water level or simply relishing the close proximity to the Caribbean's invigorating warmth.
Accommodation
Arranged across five thoughtfully appointed cabins, the yacht welcomes up to eight guests for overnight stays. Each cabin is a private retreat, bathed in natural light and offering the convenience of individual climate control and an entertainment system. The layout ensures privacy and comfort for all aboard, with soft linens and refined finishes creating a soothing atmosphere. The master suite, a sanctuary of its own, provides ample space for relaxation and rejuvenation, promising restful nights after days spent exploring the vibrant Caribbean archipelago.
The culinary journey aboard is an integral part of the experience, with a dedicated chef crafting bespoke menus tailored to individual preferences. From fresh catches prepared with local Caribbean flavours to sophisticated international cuisine, each meal is a celebration. Dining can be enjoyed al fresco on the deck, under the stars, or in the elegant interior dining area, providing a versatile backdrop for every occasion. The ice maker ensures refreshing beverages are always at hand to complement each exquisite dish.
For those who wish to maintain their routine at sea, a selection of exercise equipment is available, offering invigorating workouts against the backdrop of the open ocean. The deck Jacuzzi provides a blissful sanctuary for soothing tired muscles, offering warm, bubbling comfort under the vast Caribbean sky. This blend of active pursuit and serene relaxation ensures a holistic sense of well-being throughout your charter.
The water sports locker is brimming with an array of equipment designed to ignite adventure. Explore secluded coves with kayaks and paddleboards, or feel the thrill of skimming across the waves on water skis or a surfboard. For the more adventurous, a foilboard awaits, while floating mats and beach games offer gentler ways to enjoy the pristine waters. Fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the big game and light fishing gear, promising exciting catches.

What a yacht like VIVIERAE II costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on VIVIERAE II is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 30m 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.
