Able to reach an impressive top speed of 40 knots, Rehab can also cruise quickly to new destinations, providing a thrilling experience above deck in the process. Other highlights on board this sporty Predator 68 include her ample al fresco entertaining spaces and wealth of water toys including waterskiing and wakeboarding gear.

Rehab is managed for charter by Bluewater with a weekly charter rate starting from €22,500.

Twelve guests can be accommodated in Martina’s five cabins, making her an ideal yacht for parties and larger families.
