Ocean Club

Stats: 49.07m, Trinity, 2009 (2021), 12 guests, 10 crew

The deal: Special Caribbean rate of $180,000 per week during April, rather than the usual $220,000.

Highlights: When she was delivered in 2009, under the name Blind Date, this 50-metre Trinity was straight in the running for the 2010 World Superyacht Awards, receiving a special commendation for her exceptional fit-out and innovative layout. Having recently returned to the charter fleet after a refit that saw all new lighting and designer accessories, Ocean Club has retained her high calibre. She remains an elegant superyacht with wooden panelled interiors and neutral soft furnishings designed by Evan K. Marshall.

With plenty of space out on deck, Ocean Club is an excellent choice for those looking to make the most of the Caribbean sun, with a Jacuzzi, fully stocked bar and sun pads on the sundeck. Her toy box is also up there with the best and brimming with SeaBobs, Kayaks, electric bikes and four WaveRunners.

Ocean Club is available to charter with IYC at a weekly rate from $220,000 excluding the deal.

Amigos

Stats: 55m, Amels, 2017, 12 guests, 13 crew

The deal: 15 per cent off on seven-day charters between 21 March and April

Highlights: Designed by world-renowned, Tim Heywood with interiors by Laura Sessa, there is a reason why the Amels Limited Editions, remains the most successful series in superyacht history. With outstanding exterior spaces, a well-proportioned profile and sizeable interior volume, the 55-metre yacht is a remarkable charter yacht for 12 guests looking for a final escapade to the Caribbean. Amigos’ effervescent interiors follow a monochromatic and neutral colour scheme, with cream carpets, polished wooden surfaces and flecks of soft blue furnishings.

Accommodation on board is for 12 guests across six well-appointed cabins including her impressive full-beam master on the bridge deck, which has its own private terrace. A fine choice for a wellness charter, this 55-metre has a fully stocked gym including a treadmill and TRX Pro equipment and a Turkish Hammam in the beach club.

With accommodation for 12 guests across seven cabins, there is plenty of space for entertaining on board and spaces like the library with a fully working fireplace.

Among her list of impressive spaces is the elegant aft beach club. Featuring a sofa and a large swim platform, it offers easy access to the water and a comfortable place to unwind. The cosy custom Benetti was designed for family life at sea, and this is an ideal spot for the kids to frolic in the water.

Having worked on projects such as London’s National and National Portrait Galleries, and the Victoria & Albert Museum, Zervudachi’s interiors tend to fizz with elegance, and Natalia V is no exception. The 45-metre now has bright, more classical interiors with natural wood finishes throughout. Accommodation on board is for 12 across five cabins and there’s plenty of dining space out on deck.

For long afternoons basking in the Caribbean sun, Natalia V’s sundeck is the perfect place to be, swilling in the Jacuzzi, which is surrounded by oversized sun pads. There’s more dining space on deck and a projector for movie nights under the stars.

Taking it one step further, the 70 metre also has a spectacular crow’s nest with removable awnings and glass screens for even more incredible vistas. Inside, things are open and elegant, with black lacquered wood and marble finishes, but the vibe remains welcoming and family-friendly. Take the staircase up to the upper deck, and you’ll stumble upon an additional lounge, which doubles as a karaoke room.

Upon opening the toy locker, hidden behind shell doors, you'll discover a Novurania Chase 23 for getting ashore, plus a Ski Nautique Super Air Nautique 230 for waterskiing and tow toys. Add to that three Sea-Doos, four SeaBobs, kitesurfing kit among much more.

There are two main living areas on board, the main saloon and a semi-enclosed deck saloon, which has a 12-seater table, and four cabins, one of which has a Pullman, located aft.
