If you’re looking for a charter yacht under 40m (121ft) with a vast amount of living space, EAU LA LA should be right at the top of your shortlist. Launched in 2023 – so still nearly new, and in immaculate fettle – this innovative tri-deck yacht from the Numarine shipyard punches well above her displacement weight, offering exceptional levels of both value and enjoyment.

Designed to host 12 guests in six luxurious cabins including a full-beam master suite at the forward end of the main deck, she has a versatile accommodation layout that works equally well for either a family holiday or a cruise with a group of friends. Her stand-out features include the size of her inside and outside lounges, her sharp contemporary style and her amazing inventory of toys.

There’s a spacious open-air lounge on her foredeck with day beds and forward-facing seats. The sundeck is huge and mostly shaded with a big hardtop above the lounge and dining areas. Further aft is a bar and a jacuzzi pool in full sun. One level down, the upper aft deck offers a wide open space for entertaining or dancing when she isn’t carrying one of her tenders up there, en route to your next destination. The main deck aft, meanwhile, is a shaded, sheltered lounge/dining area with sunpad cushions aft, and there’s a beach club in her fold-out stern.

Step inside and you’re in a chic, clean and soothing environment with high-speed wi-fi internet connectivity and air conditioning throughout all three levels. The main deck lounge is vast, with superb sea views through floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides, and sofas for a full party of 12 guests facing the 100-inch smart TV. Further forward is a 10-seat formal dining table.

One level up, the skylounge has a well-stocked cocktail bar, another sociable seating area and an office space that will come in handy if you need to take care of some business during your cruise.

The master cabin has a king size bed on the centreline, a desk with a fabulous sea view and a bathtub plus a separate rain room shower in its en suite bathroom. The lower deck guest cabins are finished in a similar neutral palette and clean, modern style.

You’d be hard pressed to find a better range of tenders and toys on a yacht of this size. There’s a 14m (45ft) chase boat, a 8m (26ft) RIB, seven underwater scooters, three jet boards and a wing foil, five e-scooters, kayaks, paddleboards, inflatable tows, a full beach setup and more.
