A closer look
Sleek Profile, Open Waters
From an elevated perspective, the twin hulls of ALTESSE glide across the water. Her broad profile, a result of the 9.4-metre beam, establishes a stable platform for Caribbean exploration. The mast rises centrally, ready to harness the wind. The deck layout appears uncluttered, hinting at expansive areas for sunning and socialising, all framed by the azure expanse of the sea.
Aft Deck Connection
The aft deck forms a seamless transition to the water. Twin staircases descend gently to the swim platform, inviting easy access for a dip or to launch water toys. Above, the expansive cockpit is sheltered, offering a shaded space for gathering. The arrangement facilitates smooth movement between the yacht's interior, the deck, and the surrounding Caribbean sea.
Bow Lounging, Ocean Views
Forward, the bow deck presents an open expanse dedicated to sun-drenched relaxation. Cushioned sun pads stretch across the foredeck, providing ample space for guests to recline. The twin trampolines, suspended between the hulls, offer a distinctive spot for enjoying the sensation of the ocean just below, with uninterrupted views of the horizon.
Al Fresco Dining
Within the aft cockpit, an expansive dining table is positioned for al fresco meals, surrounded by comfortable seating. This sheltered area provides an ideal setting for enjoying freshly prepared dishes, protected from the elements yet fully immersed in the Caribbean ambiance. Adjacent lounging spaces invite casual conversation before or after dining.
Panoramic Main Saloon
The main saloon is bathed in natural light, offering expansive, nearly 360-degree views of the surrounding seascape. Comfortable seating is arranged around a central table, creating an inviting space for relaxation or socialising. The contemporary interior features clean lines and a bright palette, enhancing the sense of spaciousness and connection with the ocean outside.
Accommodation
ALTESSE accommodates eight guests across four well-appointed cabins. Each cabin is designed to provide a private retreat, featuring individual air conditioning for personalised climate control and a television for entertainment. The layout ensures comfort and privacy for all on board, with ample space for personal belongings. The arrangement reflects the yacht's generous 9.4-metre beam, allowing for comfortable sleeping quarters that serve as peaceful havens after a day of Caribbean exploration.
Crew separate heads · Crew separate shower
On board ALTESSE, dining is a central experience, with an ice maker ensuring cold beverages are always on hand. The BBQ grill allows for outdoor cooking, complementing meals prepared in the galley. Guests can gather at the inviting dining spaces, whether enjoying a relaxed breakfast in the sheltered aft cockpit or an evening meal under the stars. The crew attends to culinary preferences, crafting menus that enhance the Caribbean charter experience.
For moments of calm and invigoration, ALTESSE offers various spaces for relaxation. Sun pads invite guests to recline and absorb the warmth of the Caribbean sun, while the outdoor shower provides a refreshing rinse after a swim. Exercise equipment is available for maintaining routines, and an inflatable floating island offers a unique platform for unwinding on the water, fostering a sense of peaceful escape.
The yacht is equipped with a comprehensive selection of water toys for active enjoyment in the Caribbean. Guests can explore the clear waters with a kayak or paddleboards, or feel the thrill of a wakeboard or kneeboard. Water skis are available for both adults and children, alongside a towable tube for exhilarating rides. For a different pace, a sailing dinghy offers a chance to independently navigate, and light fishing gear is on hand for angling enthusiasts.

Stefan Hübbe
Germany · English, German
Stefan & Chloe: Sailing, working and loving together since 2007 Chloe and Stefan were liveaboard cruisers (sailing in the Pacific, Indian Ocean, Red Sea, Mediterranean and Caribbean) long before they started to run crewed charters in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2015. Captain Stefan (MScEng, RYA Yachtmaster, PADI Dive Instructor) was born in Berlin, Germany, and developed a love of the wind and sea as a teenager, sailing his first dingy at age 16 and is a keen surfer, kitesurfer and freediver. He got his master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, which led him to a successful career managing specialist multimillion dollar engineering projects in Europa and Australia. However, his first love was always the ocean, so he decided to return to Europe the slow way; sailing solo on his own yacht, over the Pacific Ocean...and managed to get as far as Bali before meeting Chloe; which was to change his life's course forever. After sailing all over the world together (over 45,000nm) for several years, it was time for a new project, so Stefan started designing and building luxury houseboats in Europe. 13 houseboats later, they decided it was a sailor’s life for them after all, and never looked back.
Chloe Chand

Chef Chloe Chand (BA Hons, RYT Yoga Teacher, PADI Rescue Diver) was born in London, England and had a professional career in project management before developing an aversion to chairs and retrained to become a yoga instructor and teacher, working for various charities and universities. Her passion for education, the environment, spirituality and anthropology has led her all over the world – living everywhere from Barcelona to Borneo. Chloe has trained at the prestigious Ashburton Chef’s Academy in the UK and her cuisine favours fresh, locally-sourced ingredients to create healthy, rainbow-coloured and seriously flavourful recipes. European food is at the forefront of her culinary repertoire, as well as more exotic influences from her travels (including South East Asia, India and Morocco). Vegan menus are one of Chloe's specialities. Chloe and Stefan have a soulful love of the ocean and sailing, which they enjoy sharing with guests. Their warm, upbeat personalities, exceptional hospitality and joie de vivre is all part of what will make your vacation unforgettably wonderful! Relaxing in nature, yoga and watersports are at the forefront of what they offer. Unwind in a stunningly beautiful, carefree environment, leaving your ‘everyday’ behind you; sit back and soak up the sun with a Caribbean breeze in your hair; experience diving, free-diving, surfing, wake-boarding snorkelling and hiking – as well as other fun activities, such as scavenger hunts, murder mystery themed dinners, etc. Chloe & Stefan share time and space with guests and enjoy being personable, making you feel comfortable and at home on your sailing vacation. Playing guitar and stargazing over a nice glass of wine and good conversation is part of what they provide to create a wonderful holiday atmosphere and memories which last a lifetime. Aboard Altesse, most guests arrive as clients but leave as friends.Ashtanga yoga. In her free time she can be found practicing yoga, playing the guitar, island-hopping on the SUP or freediving.

ALTESSE: your questions, answered

What a yacht like ALTESSE costs to own — not just to charter
The published weekly rate for ALTESSE is the base charter fee, not an all-in total. APA, taxes, repositioning and itinerary-specific services are confirmed separately. Ownership of a 17m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
