The lure of the sea is a seductive one, and whether you’re interested in chartering a yacht, buying a superyacht or just tempted by a decadent adventure on a day-boat, we’ve got the inspiration for you. As superyachts improve every year, getting bigger and more hedonistic, so do more entry-level boats, which now offer a wealth of impressive features and sublime design details you’d previously expect on top-of-the-line models. It’s the perfect time to take the leap – what are you waiting for?

Winch Design’s Ace Superyacht (top) and the sleek interior of the Phoenix Superyacht (bottom)
Superyacht design studio Winch Design focus on extremely high-end, bespoke design, offering a thoughtful approach to projects that clients love. One of their stand-out projects, Ace, is a seriously stunning motoryacht, perfectly uniting the traditional with the contemporary in its tasteful design. Guests (it sleeps 10) will love the serene spa complete with gym, saunas and hammam. Another of their superyachts, Phoenix, pays the same careful attention to detail, with a sleek exterior which hints at the glamorous interior – inspired by the New York Art Deco era – within.
Alen 70 Yacht
The Alen 70, new from Alen Yacht, is the brand’s flagship new piece – and at 70 foot and with a slick minimalist design, we can see why. Vast entertaining spaces and three impressive cabins – VIP, master and guest – make this the perfect backdrop for a party. Better still, it’s for sale now.
Yachts Croatia JoyMe
JoyMe is one of the best luxury 50 meter yachts available for charter in Croatia. Elegant hull lines and a vibrant paint scheme will draw admiring glances, but the real treat is inside, where there’s cabins for 12 guests, a sauna, hammam and pool – and so much more.
Dream Yacht Charter Muse

Muse, available through Dream Yacht Charter, is a cool catamaran with five cabins. Wintering in Saint Martin and spending summer in the Cote d’Azur, a wonderful holiday is assured whatever the season. It’s manned by an experienced team who will take care of every detail as you explore the beauty of the Caribbean’s many islands.
Edmiston Gladius
Gladius, the work of esteemed ship builder Cantieri di Pisa, was fully refitted last year and, as a result, boasts a range of plush extras. A newly installed sundeck and Jacuzzi, snazzy audio visual system and luxurious cabins are just some of the things you can expect if you’re chartering it this year.
Icon Yachts’ Icon
The incredible Icon boasts a beach club that can be admired to full effect through its glass-bottomed pool. Designed for extensive world cruising, this superyacht is first class thanks to state-of-the-art entertainment systems and an exceptional crew.
Necker Belle Catamaran
Necker Belle, by Sir Richard Branson, is just like a mobile version of Necker Island. The 32 metre catamaran – accommodating up to 12 guests – is as opulent as you would expect, and the perfect base from which to explore the truly stunning Caribbean sights.
Complete the experience with these handy finishing touches!
Boesch 620 Bimini De Luxe Speedboat
How beautiful is the Boesch 620 Bimini De Luxe? Even better than its appearance is the fact it’s supremely light and, thanks to its V8 gasoline engine of 320HP, extremely fast and agile, all which make it loved by waterskiers everywhere. There’s no better complement to a superyacht.
Aquariva Super Speedboat
Since you can’t write a yacht feature without mentioning Riva, a special mention must go to the Aquariva Super, one of the most iconic models of recent times. Created in 2001, it’s still in production now – and we can see why.
Rand Play Day-Boat
The Scandinavian design of the RAND Play is immediately obvious – pure lines and clean surfaces characterise this 24ft day-boat, which can be transformed to create a swim platform or extra lounge sunbed.
Kaelo Wine Cooler
Bit rocky and feel the need to cling on to your Champagne? Step forward Kaelo, who create luxury furniture perfect for your superyacht thanks to its holders for drinks that are ice-cold, yet completely dry. Ice buckets? How tacky.
Loro Piana Bomber Jacket
You need all the gear if you’re setting sail this summer, and we can’t recommend the Bomber Windmate Porto Cervo limited edition enough. Waterproof and wind-resistant, they’re crafted from a combination of cashmere and microfibre and available in a host of attractive designs.
