felicita west

FELICITA WEST is one of the largest and fastest aluminium sailing yachts in the world. Built in 2003 by Perini Navi with naval architect Ron Holland, her interior was designed by Nuvolari Lenard.

She is the ultimate sailing experience with outstanding comfort. At 64m, the long waterline produces dynamic hull speed. At the same time the ultra wide beam of 12.7m brings large internal volume and side decks allowing two people to walk side by side.
   

The flybridge is so large that 12 guests can sit, eat and talk in the sun or in the shade, as they prefer.

A large swim platform descends from the main deck with easy access into the water or onto the tenders.

Dining can take place in the shaded, sunken aft cockpit where the crew magically transform the scene from an informal breakfast through buffet lunch to a sumptuous dinner.

islander

Built in 1991, and recently refitted this unique high volume 192ft motor sailing yacht includes all the benefits of a substantial motor yacht with the added ability to sail.

ISLANDER is powered by waterjets and incorporates two lifting keels allowing her to access shallow water areas and can set 25,000 sq. ft of sail.

The yacht has a very large sun deck for outdoor living and entertainment, which includes a full central bar area, informal dining areas, a barbeque and large jacuzzi/swimming pool which can be used with either fresh or sea water.

On the upper deck, there is exterior dining for 12 guests and additionally there are two informal seating areas forward of the bridge which offer a great vantage point when underway.

The aft deck platform provides access for swimming and tender pick-up.

ISLANDER has a substantial main deck saloon which can be totally separated from the dining area. This lends itself very well for corporate entertaining and meetings etc. An added attraction is the Steinway baby grand piano for musical entertainment.
   

A sky lounge with full bar, card table and upright piano is situated on the upper deck. This is an ideal location for evening relaxation.

An added major benefit is that the yacht is wheelchair friendly, with through-hull access on starboard together with a lift which provides access to all levels including the sundeck. The yacht also has many specially widened doorways to allow easy access for wheelchairs.

ISLANDER has benefited from a major refit in 2002-2003, with work still ongoing. This work includes a complete overhaul and renewal as appropriate, of the machinery and systems, the rig, additional teak decking as well as a full exterior repaint of the hull and superstructure, new marble, new carpeting, replating of gold fixtures, new bedding, new exterior furnishings, etc..

ISLANDER still has onboard a substantial and unique collection of major artworks which sets off the relaxed interior ambiance.

With an excellent charter-friendly crew under the command of her highly experienced Captain Neil Batt, ISLANDER is now seriously available for charter.

isabel



Isabel, built by Cantieri di Pisa, was delivered at the end of June 2006. The interior décor reflects a zen atmosphere with its dark furniture and earth colours: high-quality woods (traditional Cantieri di Pisa teak), carpets and leather.

The yacht is perfect for family charters. She can accommodate 9 guests in 4 cabins (3 doubles & 1 twin - there is an additional Pullman berth in the twin cabin).

She is run by a crew of four, headed by a British Captain.

Based in Beaulieu year-round.


   

One of her features include a new hydraulic platform, which can be lowered to or even below the water surface to create a perfect 'private beach'. It makes access to water safer, more comfortable and altogether more enjoyable. It also greatly facilitates the handling of the yacht's brand new full-size tender which offers comfortable seating for six people and which is also perfectly suited and equipped for a wide range of watersport activities. Isabel is also equipped with zero-speed stabilisers.
