Providing luxurious accommodations for charter guests on an East or West Meditteranean yacht charter, featuring a composition of five cabins each adorned with unique oceanic-themed feature walls, the upper deck is the crowning glory as a private sanctuary reserved for the owner.

Complete with a personal salon and cabin dressed in vibrant botanical green hues that evoke the rich diversity of the jungle, the use of reclaimed and textured timbers, bamboo accents, and natural woven fibers throughout the yacht adds to the organic and exploratory ambiance.
