Spirit of MK

Spirit of MK is a classic yacht delivered by CRN in 1981. The 33.5 metre has been meticulously maintained over the years and is offered for sale fresh from a top-to-bottom refit in 2021. Her classic design is instantly recognisable on the water and she has enjoyed a long life as a successful charter yacht. Up to 11 guests can enjoy deluxe cabins and standout amenities such as an outdoor cinema, an extensive wine cellar, and shaded al fresco dining. A white superstructure is paired with a navy hull and red boot stripe.

Bel-Ami II

The 34-metre motor yacht Bel-Ami II, built in Italy by Codecasa and delivered in 1988, is a true modern classic thanks to a major refit in 2008 and a more extensive refurbishment in 2019. She can accommodate eight guests in four cabins and her above-average volume for her length results in spacious living and dining areas. The polished, original wooden panelling has not been lost through the various refits and continues to add character in the yacht’s simple yet sophisticated interior.

Lady Victoria

The 27-metre motor yacht Lady Victoria was built by Italian yard Ferretti and delivered in 2005. Her design was a joint effort between Ferretti and Italian design studio Zuccon International Project. She can accommodate up to eight guests in four cabins, including a bright master with two big open-view windows that flood the cabin with light. Standout features include the hydro-massage bath on the flybridge and the teak dining table on the lower rear deck that’s beautifully close to the sea.

Mr Sea

Sunseeker‘s 28-metre Mr Sea was delivered by the British yard in 2009 and has since enjoyed several refits in her lifetime – the most recent in 2021. The crowning jewel of this yacht is her flybridge. The space naturally becomes the hub of guest socialising and entertainment thanks to its al fresco dining area serviced by a bar and grill. On the lower deck, the yacht accommodates eight guests across four cabins, including a full-beam master and a VIP with en-suite. Her 25-bottle wine cellar in the saloon is also worthy of a mention.

King

Overmarine‘s 33-5-metre King was launched in 2004 as one of the yard’s Mangusta 108 models. She’s been well-kept through the years with an extensive refit in 2017/2018. King was built with performance in mind (she has a top speed of 37 knots), but also style – her sporty lines are the work of Stefano Righini. She is made for outdoor living, with plenty of space to relax or dine al fresco on the aft and fore decks. The interior, meanwhile, is classic with wood panelling and flooring running through the main saloon, dining room, and five cabins sleeping up to nine guests.

Il Capo

The 33.5-metre motor yacht Il Capo was built and designed by American boat builder Broward Marine and delivered in 2004. She was later refitted with a number of upgrades between 2017 and 2022 including a brand new paint job in Matterhorn White and a complete interior redesign courtesy of Luiz De Basto. The yacht has a proven charter record, with highlights for guests being a sun-filled main saloon, characterful wooden panelling across her four cabins, and a shaded sun deck complete with a Jacuzzi.

Posillipo 95

The 29.6-metre motor yacht Posillipo 95 was delivered by Posillipo in 2005 and refitted with modern details in 2017. She’s been designed and built with outdoor living in mind. The aft deck comprises generous dining and seating areas, as well as an extended swim platform, while the flybridge offers even more space plus charter-friendly features such as a BBQ grill and a retractable canvas roof. She has four cabins sleeping up to 10 guests.

Impetuous

Dating back to the seventies, the 26-metre motor yacht Impetuous is a piece of marine history. She was built in the Netherlands by Dutch yard Feadship and delivered in 1977 – her most recent owner, an experienced yachtsman, has taken care of her for 25 years. An aluminum hull and superstructure were designed by H.W. De Voogt, with graceful interior styling by the late Pierre Tanter. As well as being a great cruiser for up to six guests, Impetuous also serves as a fully-functional sportfishing yacht with additional scuba diving capabilities.

Julie II

The 30-metre motor yacht Julie II was delivered in 2001 by Astondoa and is one of the Spanish yard’s 95 GLX models. Designed by Italian studio Nuvolari Lenard, she’s both stylish and speedy. A well-executed 2022 refit saw improvements to her spacious interior, which includes accommodation for 10 guests in four cabins. Standout features include sun pads on the flybridge and forward, plus the al fresco dining area for long Mediterranean evenings.

Safari

The 24.6-metre motor yacht Safari has a long history of chartering and has been continually upgraded to keep her shipshape. Built in Taiwan by Symbol and delivered in 2002 as one of two Symbol 80 models built by Symbol, the yacht features design by Jack Sarin that prioritises comfort. She features accommodation for six guests in three spacious cabins, as well as a choice of living spaces inside and out the flybridge, aft deck and foredeck. She’s considered a good choice for those looking for extended cruising.
