FX Motor yacht for charter

Here’s a good choice of charter yacht for those who like to stand out from the crowd. Highly distinctive and impressively sleek, FX is a low-slung 38m (124ft) yacht with a striking, colour-changing metallic hull and an assertive presence at sea and in harbour. She’s designed to host 10 guests in five cabins, with service from an experienced crew of six.

Those strong looks give a good hint of her performance – she cruises at 20 knots and can reach a top speed of 24 knots with her throttles wide open. But that doesn’t mean you’ll have a bumpy ride; on the contrary, she has stabilisers to smooth her motion both at anchor and at sea.

Key features on board include three separate dining areas, a notably spacious main deck lounge with plenty of natural light, and a large, comfortable and stylish sundeck with shade from a big convertible hardtop and ample space for guests to spread out and relax or gather together and party.

There’s a large jacuzzi pool on the sundeck plus a sit-up bar, a sunbathing zone, a lounge with day beds, a dining space and more. The main sunbathing area is on the foredeck, with ample space on plush cushions to bask and soak up some rays.

The main deck layout has an open cockpit aft with a large dining table in shade, and wide-opening glass doors leading into the lounge where you’ll find a sociable lounge with an impressive sound system and a modern minimalist dining space, with an open plan layout and a nice degree of separation between these two zones.

Up in the bow on the main deck level is the striking master suite. An entrance hall leads into the main cabin where a sofa flanks the king size bed and there’s a stylish en suite bathroom with a full marble shower. The other guest cabins, all on the lower deck, are two VIP doubles and two twins, each with its own private en suite bathroom.

Down at the waterline, her transom folds down to provide a large bathing platform and open up the fitness studio/beach club in her stern. After working up a sweat with your daily exercise routine or completing a yoga session, you can plunge straight into the sea for a cooling dip.

The stern platform is also her watersports dock with a sea pool for safe bathing, paddleboards for gentle exercise, and a jet RIB tender for waterskiing, wakeboarding and swift transfers from yacht to shore.
