On our desk this season

85.3 m SilverYachts · 2019 · Espen Øino exterior · certified helipad

Bold is one of the fastest, most efficient explorers of her size in the world — an 85 metre aluminium SilverYachts platform with a 2.8 m draft, 23-knot top end, and the range to reposition between continents without breaking rhythm. Twelve guests across eight cabins, a crew of twenty, and a full-beam Owner's suite with his-and-hers ensuite and hammam.

The signature is the 300 m² upper-deck Loft opening into a wintergarden with retractable glass walls — indoor-outdoor dining for eighteen, a 6 × 3 m media wall, and an outdoor cinema on the sun deck. Certified helipad (AW109), 8-guest jacuzzi behind windbreak glass, teppanyaki bar, a floating dock for jet skis and toys, plus two 10.5 m Rupert tenders.

This summer she is in Norway. Fjords, waterfalls, quiet anchorages and long light — with the speed and shallow draft to reach the places most yachts her size cannot.

42 m Amels · 1987, fully refit 2025 · Jon Bannenberg interiors

A classic Amels tri-deck reborn — teak side decks, cream interiors, a proper wheelhouse, and the quiet confidence of a yacht built to cross oceans. Ten guests across four cabins, a crew of seven, and a beach-club setup with modular platforms, Seabobs, e-foils and a Williams jet tender.

This summer she is in Norway. July and August are open — fjords, waterfalls, quiet anchorages, long light. The kind of week most yacht charter yachts don't offer, on a yacht built exactly for it.

48 m · built 2019 · Croatian luxury sailing yacht

A 48 metre, family-friendly yacht that carries the romance of a traditional sailing yacht with the ease and finish of a modern luxury yacht charter. Three decks, four distinct outdoor living areas, a Finnish sauna, jacuzzi and a notably strong crew culture make her one of the stand-out weeks in Croatia.

Twelve guests sleep across six cabins — one master, one VIP, two doubles and two twins — with an additional en suite double on the top deck that works well for a nanny, masseuse or a group wanting extra flexibility. The main salon opens into lounge, dining and bar areas with panoramic windows, while the deck plan gives everyone room to disappear for an hour.

What people remember most is the crew. Captain Jure has been aboard since launch and knows these islands instinctively; Chef Luka has the same longevity and the food comes up beautifully pitched for yacht charter life, with excellent wine pairing.
