Decision Decision Decision: Yacht Charter Journey
ATHOS
With classically inspired lines, the 63m Athos brings a powerful majesty to any charter experience. Within, an all-modern interior with first-class luxury amenities promises five-star comfort in supreme style.
Highlights of her design include alfresco dining spaces, a relaxation station, and a fantastic selection of water toys. Whether cruising the coastline or watching the world go by from a private anchorage, Athos is your platform for a sophisticated stay.
Perfect for sharing families or groups of friends, there’s accommodation for up to 10 guests in five beautiful cabins.
For charter with YCO from €220,000p/w
MEDITERRANEAN
Go boho in the Balearics, seek the dolce vita in Italy, get glamourous in the South of France, or chart your own Greek odyssey – the Mediterranean has it all on the agenda. The array of charter itineraries available in the region really is impressive, with something to delight guests of all ages and interests. From culinary cruises to fun- focussed adventures and cultural excursions, charters are available ranging from long weekends to month- long escapes.
For a little extra exclusivity, book you charter for late summer – by September and October, the tourist crowds have flown home, the sea remains warm, and the vistas will be all your own.

The full force of a yacht like Kokomo under sail is a feeling like no other. And you needn’t lift a finger – Kokomo operates with a highly experienced crew of 10.

Western Mediterranean
The western Mediterranean comprises the crème de la crème of cosmopolitan Europe. Boasting beautiful architecture, rich culture, culinary delights, high-end shopping, and old-world charm alongside modern style, the cruising grounds of France, Spain, and Italy never disappoint.
Choose an itinerary that’ll take in the glamourous sights of the Côte d’Azur, a sophisticated sail along the Italian Riviera, or island-hop between the Balearic gems of Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza.

WANDERLUST
Combining performance and efficiency with superyacht luxury, the 85.3m Wanderlust can make any travel dream come true. Described as an SAV – a sports activity vessel – this yacht is a superb platform for scuba diving, water sports, and extended adventurous excursions in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific.
Boasting a whole host of innovative design features, our favourite is ‘the loft’ – a glass encased winter garden and shaded terrace. Other highlights include a lounge with an enormous screen in the ceiling that can display any image or video you want, and there are several tenders at your disposal for coastal exploring and days spent enjoying the yacht’s watersport toys.
Dine alfresco, play basketball on the aft deck, watch a movie on the outdoor cinema screen, or turn the heli hangar into your own private night club. Wanderlust is there to serve your every wish.

THE INDIAN OCEAN
With uninhabited isles and a plethora of pristine beaches to explore, the Maldives and the Seychelles offer superyacht-style exclusivity in spades. Jungle-covered mountains dominate the main islands, each surrounded by warm, crystal-clear waters that host rich marine life in their coral atolls.
Step off the superyacht in the Maldives and you’ll find luxury resorts, world-famous spas, and underwater restaurants.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the islands of the Indian Ocean are home to incredible wildlife, they offer authentic cultural experiences, and memories that will last a lifetime.
