Chartering your first superyacht is a thrilling experience. From the feeling of raising anchor on your first day, to standing on deck, with the wind in your hair, there’s nothing quite so adventurous or luxurious as cruising aboard a vessel all to yourself. In fact, with the charter industry booming, superyachts have revolutionised the face of modern high-end holidaying.
But your nautical debut will inevitably mean inexperience. From length to engine size, choosing the right yacht for your first charter can be daunting. So, to ensure you don’t sink in the stats and specifications, we’ve chosen for you. At just shy of 50 metres long, and with capacity to hold 12 guests, Eleni is striking, powerful and your perfect first superyacht.
Built by CBA Navi, and with designs by CLM Engineering, this is a superyacht that can withstand anything you can throw at her. But its brawn doesn’t rule out beauty. In fact, the opposite is true, and Eleni’s handsome and elegant design blends both style and comfort – making her stand out in even the most sophisticated ports of call.
Inside, delicately crafted interiors evoke ultimate relaxation, and her extensive deck areas are perfect for sunbathing and dining alike. The huge sun deck, especially, features a bar and jacuzzi forward, with large sun pads for lounging in peace and isolation.
A climate-controlled, glass-walled gym will allow you to work out in front of the inspiration of panoramic views and, once you’re done breaking a sweat at sea, vast modular sofas, sun bed and two loveseats with retractable canopies give you the option to give your muscles a rest in style.
Eleni is striking, powerful and your perfect first superyacht
Eleni really does have everything you could want from a first superyacht, and would be the perfect vessel to charter through Ocean Independence’s pioneering and innovative online guide for first-timers to superyacht charter, My First Superyacht. From early mornings enjoying an alfresco meal on the aft deck to evenings spent reclining in the deep sofas of the sky lounge or drinking at the onboard bar, your first experience of yachting will be one to remember.
And you don’t have to experience it alone. With accommodation for up to 12 guests offered – across six luxurious ensuite staterooms, all with rich wood panelling, sumptuous beds and immaculate bathrooms – you can take friends and family out on the ocean to share your inaugural cruise.
Of course, the best is reserved for you – with a spacious, full-beam master stateroom on the main deck boasting a king-size bed, sofa, his and hers bathrooms and a private study.
What’s more, Eleni is just now back on the charter market after a winter refresh. Proving very popular, she may be one of the bigger yachts in Ocean Independence’s fleet, but she’s still a wonderful size and price point for a nautical newcomer. So anchors up, gents – there’s nothing better than your first superyacht break, and no better boat to experience it on.
