Charter Yachts Prepare for the 2017 Superyacht Challenge Antigua

She has also caught the yacht industry’s eye, picking up two Showboats Design Awards in 2010 for her naval architecture, and design and technology. Set to be a strong contender at this year's Superyacht Challenge, she also boasts a number of features that make her ideal for charter.  

Guests will be able to make the most of her fold-down swim platform, get together with friends and family in a sunken cockpit, and retreat into her light, airy and modern interior.

Also on the line-up is the 34m/112ft luxury yacht KAWIL, launched in 2000 by Derecktor Shipyards. Incredibly graceful, she is capable of enduring the toughest conditions and has an abundance of flowing deck on which to bask in the warm Caribbean sunshine once the racing concludes.

Clad in teak joinery, her interior is more classic in style but despite her preference for practicality and simplicity she is still equipped with modern comforts and state-of-the-art equipment.

Royal Huisman’s 34m/112ft charter yacht SPIIP is expected to join the challenge too. Engineered for an exceptional sailing performance, she boasts beautiful pure lines, a carbon mast, and self-furling genoa and main sail that furl into the boom.

Much attention to detail has gone into creating her modern and minimalist interior, designed by Andrew Winch. Boasting pale maple, stainless steel accents, crystal, leather and Thassos marble, she makes a perfect host for a private yacht charter.

These three sloops will face still competition from ADELA, ELFJE, NILAYA, ACADIA, ADIX, MARAMA, ‘Wild Horses’ and ‘Zig Zag’, all currently assembled in the historic surroundings of Nelson’s Dockyard.
