View all yachts for charter
What are the must-haves? A fast tender to explore the islands? Check. There’s a 13m (42ft) Yellow Fin chase tender with 1,050hp of outboard power. Diving equipment? Check. Scuba gear for eight guests and PADI training available, and lots of snorkel equipment. Fishing gear? Check. The yacht has plenty of trolling and deep-drop fishing gear for game fishing and a crew that knows how to use it. Beach set-up? Check. The crew can build a full tent, table and 12 chairs for those beach BBQs. Watertoys? Check. Waverunners, SeaBobs and waterskis for your guests.
This American-built yacht has an extended sundeck and a jacuzzi for fresh-water frolics and refreshments from a fully equipped wet bar – and plenty of space to work on your tan in the sun or laze in the shade with a book. For those looking to tan in peace, head for the sunpad forward on the bridge deck, a great place to enjoy a cooling breeze underway.
For the all-important water-based fun, GRADE 1 has a huge sea-terrace swim platform, so you can enjoy all the toys without crowding each other. It’s a great place to enjoy sea-level dining, too. After lunch on the main deck aft, shaded from the midday heat, what better than dining under the stars at night surrounded by the sights and sounds of the ocean?
You have plenty of glamorous interior options with wonderful views through near-full-height glass. The main deck lounge is relaxed-classical with dark wood cabinetry inlaid with gold to echo the jacquard drapes, cream leathers and earth-toned fabrics. Forward is a glass-topped dining table supported by classical scrolls. The sky lounge creates a more relaxed environment with opulent blue-leather sofas on marble floors with a feature bar forward.
Eight experienced professional crew look after you and your 12 guests, including a captain who knows how to get the best out of every anchorage and a versatile, gifted chef who will delight with every dish. When it comes to accommodation, all of the options are opulent, luxurious and truly spoiling. Yours is the full-beam master suite on the main deck, and your guests have similarly sumptuous appointments in five lower-deck cabins, four double cabins and one twin cabin.
