Accomodation

UPPER DECK

One aspect in designing a yacht of this status that many charter operators and designers will agree with is by locating the crew’s berths away from the main guests. It is with this in mind that we have located to crew accommodation on the upper deck.

CAPTAINS CABIN

The skipper’s cabin offers a queen size berth giving the skipper as much comfort and luxury as your guests. If you look after your crew, your crew will look after you and your yacht. In order to allow your skipper the chance to relax in comfort and privacy, this cabin also benefits from steamed beach desk and cabinets to keep the cabin as bright as possible, with a large wall hanging plasma screen installed for all his or hers favourite movies and shows. This cabin, like all others has a fully independent air conditioning unit to help keep the cabin cool and comfortable whilst sailing through the Med, Caribbean or Australian waters etc…..although the well stocked mini bar will help keep you refreshed aswell. The skipper is kept in constant touch with the crew and guests through an intercom system that is available 24 hours a day,

CREW CABIN

The adjacent crew cabin is shared with up to 4 crew members, but each still having a degree of privacy within this cabin. For example, each berth has a drop down TV and DVD player, similar to those found onboard first class airlines, allowing each crew member to watch whatever they want. Like the main skippers cabin, this cabin is finished in steamed beach keeping the cabin light and has its own independent air conditioning unit and intercom system.

Both these cabins share a cleverly designed and located en-suite heads compartment. This heads compartment is accessed directly from both cabins without the necessity to enter the connecting passageway.

This deck also houses a utility area with the crew’s washing facilities and a large storage facility for all cleaning materials and additional linen etc.

MAIN DECK

The main deck boasts a large and spacious seating area on the bow making this ideal as an observation area for wildlife etc, or for simply relaxing onboard and soaking up the suns rays. The passageway leading from the bow to the saloon houses illuminated artwork providing a more elegant feel to this area. This is a crucial area to impress your guests, with the staterooms being located to both port and starboard.

STATEROOMS

These staterooms offer a queen size berth with all cabinets and finishing’s being of a steam beach finish. These staterooms are more in line with what you would expect in a high class hotel with small extras including underbed cinematic lighting, wall mounted plasma screen and an optional mirror above the bed for a more romantic retreat. The plasma screen is located at a height that can be viewed when your guests are relaxing in bed. To help make your guests more relaxed, it is possible to set the ambience of the room with a log fire, morning sunrise or evening sunset….all at the touch of a button.

With a spacious en-suite facility, well stocked mini bar and fully independent air conditioning unit and intercom system, your guests will be in no hurry to leave there stateroom behind.

SALOON

In order for you and your guests to benefit from the maximum possible headroom in areas of the yacht that require it more, certain aspects of this yacht have raised decks to compensate this.

On the port side of the saloon of this yacht, you will find 2 stairways with one leading down to the lower level, and the other leading to the bridge. You will also find a “U” shaped seating area that can accommodate a staggering 14 guests. This is perfect for corporate entertaining, dive preparation or simply relaxing with friends and family.

Adjacent to this area is clear floor space. This was intended for possible demonstrations such as first aid or marketing presentations to corporate clients….or perhaps for your guests to have a slow romantic dance on an evening cruise.

Your guests can benefit from overhead ambient lighting, however with as much natural light coming in, you and your guests will be able to relax in comfort and style, 24 hours a day.

To starboard, you will find amazingly no less than 5 triple settees thanks to the large deck space on offer onboard a multi-hulled yacht. The 4 coffee tables like all the woodwork onboard is finished in steamed beach to help keep the yacht as bright and comfortable as possible. Like the port area, this area also receives a large amount of natural light giving your guests the most enjoyable experience imaginable.

As this 26m luxury charter yacht has been designed for entertaining a large number of guests for long durations, it is important to take into account all aspects of the design including food storage and preparation. Onboard this yacht you will find a walk in cool room that allows your chef to store food on large shelves at temperatures as low as 2 degrees Celsius.

There is however a large upright fridge located in the galley for storing all the fresh food that is required more readily. This large fridge has an integral cool drinks dispenser built in for both guests and crew to serve cool drinks on demand.

GALLEY

The galley has been fitted out to provide the maximum utilisation of space with the minimum of intrusion for the chef. This large galley has to be one of the best on the market. It has copious amounts of natural light from the exterior windows and ample amounts of worktop space, both of which any Chef would be proud of in his or her workplace.

The large chest freezer has an integral worktop for preparing dishes straight from the hob. A large sliding glass hatch is positioned for serving food out to the dining area on the aft deck. This hatch is lockable if required when at sea.

A choice of a 4 ring or a 6 ring hob is adjacent to this with a stainless steel finish. Below is a cavernous oven, again finished in stainless steel. Overhead is a large stainless steel hood with integral lighting as well as a large extractor fan.

To obtain the optimum in preparation space, there is a large worktop area incorporating a large deep sink for preparing the food for up to 18 guests. The stainless steel finish on the sink and the mixer taps allows for easy cleaning.

Adjacent to this unit is a large walk in cupboard for the storage of dry foods that do not require cooling or freezing. Although this cupboard is not a fridge, it is fully insulated to keep its contents cool.

There is a large servery with integral cupboards and drawers for the storage of the white china, cutlery and cooking utensils. This servery has again a stainless steel worktop for easy cleaning.

There is a cleverly designed island unit offers large back to back microwave ovens and yet still has space to incorporate additional cupboards. The worktop is finished in stainless steel allowing the hot food to be laid directly on to it if required.

You and your guests can egress from the saloon to the large dining area on the aft deck is through a full laminate glass lockable door.

AFT DECK

This 26m Luxury Charter Yacht offers far more space onboard than most other yachts of this size thanks to a beam in excess of 9m. The aft deck is home to a large weatherproof dining table that seats 14 of your privileged guests. Not only is there space and comfort for your 14 guests, there is also space for the provisions of fruit baskets, bred baskets or simply decorative table ornaments.

As many of your guests will enjoy the pleasure and freedom of diving, there is a shower on the aft deck to let your guests get more refreshed before entering the saloon. There is also toilet located on the aft deck to prevent anyone having to enter the saloon in dive equipment etc. There is also a linen cupboard on the aft deck to keep towels close by if required.

In order to keep your guest refreshed, there is a hot drinks dispenser and 2 mini bars in the aft deck as well as a large sink. This is also an ideal area if you or your guests are into fishing with you being able to prepare the catch of the day without bringing it through the main saloon first.

BARBEQUE

No host can entertain on a sun deck better than when the food is straight from the BBQ. This vessel is fitted with a barbeque large enough to entertain all 14 guests at the same time. The BBQ has storage under for the cooking utensils required for the “Chef”

LOWER DECK

As you make your way down either the port or starboard stairs, you will find 2 guest staterooms in each hull. These 4 en-suite staterooms are practically identical with each offering a queen size berth, large dressing table and wardrobes finished in steamed beach effect. These staterooms are all fitted with independent air conditioning units, full intercom systems and wall mounted plasma screens to give your guests as much comfort in a bright and well illuminated cabin as possible.
