Decision Decision Decision: Yacht Charter Journey
Cloud IX
The Balearics
The islands of Ibiza, Mallorca and Menorca are a hedonistic yachting paradise. From the cosmopolitan city of Palma with its Michelin-starred restaurants and designer boutiques to the beach clubs of Ibiza and chilled yoga retreats, or Menorca’s pretty little ports and quieter bays, the Balearics will have you island-hopping for joy.
Basking in the Mediterranean sun and surround by crystal-clear waters, the Balearics are perfect for water sports. Easy transfers to and from shore offer a brilliant blend of on-land excursions with the yacht serving as you own private hotel.
This striking Sanlorenzo motor yacht has speed, style, and serious head-turning appeal. A supremely luxurious 24m yacht, Cloud IX has a light-filled interior and spacious design that feels more akin to a luxury penthouse than a boat.
Head to the sun deck for uninterrupted views of the horizon from the comfort of your sun lounger, sip cocktails on the bow, take to the water toys from the enormous aft bathing platform, and dine al fresco with a silver service from the crew. Cloud IX offers it all.
There are three en-suite cabins and Cloud IX can sleep up to seven guests.

LADY I
Turkey
Turkey’s shores meet with four different seas: the Aegean, Mediterranean, Marmara, and the Black Sea. The coastline extends more than 8,300km and is studded by award-winning marinas, beautiful anchorages, and sandy bays.
The sun-kissed coast is divided into four distinct areas, and each offers a different charter experience. The Ionian coast boasts archaeological sites and traditional harbours, the Carian Coast (which includes Bodrum and Marmaris) is ideal for sailing and water sports, the West Lycian offers hidden coves and a striking mountainous backdrop, and the East Lycian area is dotted with tiny islands that you can explore.
Don’t miss the sunken city of Kekova, the ancient temple of Artemis in Ephesus, scuba diving at Baca Cave, and the Düden waterfalls in the Antalya province.
LADY I is a 42.6m tri-deck motor yacht with fantastic deck spaces and all the luxurious lifestyle amenities of a first-class charter yacht.
Highlights include an upper deck sky lounge with bar counter and al fresco dining table, a sun deck with a Jacuzzi, and beach club with spa and sauna. Lady I has a 10m tender and is equipped with a Jet ski, two SeaBobs, stand-up paddleboards and an E-foil.
