A closer look
Aft Deck Views
The aft deck presents an expansive open-air space, framed by the yacht's sleek lines. The clear blue water stretches out behind, inviting contemplation. Ample deck space allows for movement and relaxation, with smooth surfaces underfoot. The perspective highlights the yacht's broad beam, suggesting stability and comfort while under sail or at anchor in the Caribbean or East Mediterranean.
Foredeck Panorama
The foredeck offers a wide, uncluttered area, with the horizon stretching into the distance. The deck's clean lines and smooth finish provide a comfortable platform for enjoying the open air. The view over the bow captures the sailing yacht's elegant profile against the backdrop of a clear sky, promising serene passage across the water. This space is ideal for taking in the coastal scenery.
Sailing Underway
AVEL VAEZ glides through the water, her sails capturing the breeze. The yacht's distinctive hull design, conceived by Marc Lombard, is visible as she carves a path across the ocean. The perspective from the water reveals her custom build, showcasing a harmonious blend of form and function. Sunlight glints on the hull, reflecting the vibrant surroundings of her cruising regions.
Interior Lounge
Within the yacht, a bright, open space offers a comfortable communal area. Natural light floods in, illuminating the clean, modern finishes. Seating is arranged to encourage conversation, with soft textures inviting relaxation after a day on the water. The design maintains a connection to the outside, ensuring guests feel immersed in their surroundings even when indoors.
Guest Cabin
One of the yacht's four cabins provides a private sanctuary. The space is thoughtfully arranged, with light colours creating an airy feel. A window offers a glimpse of the outside, connecting the interior with the sea. This cabin provides a serene environment for rest, ensuring comfort for guests during their voyages across the Caribbean or East Mediterranean.
Accommodation
AVEL VAEZ features four well-appointed cabins, designed to accommodate up to eight guests. Each cabin provides a private and tranquil space, ensuring comfort and privacy for everyone on board. The yacht's layout is configured to maximise the feeling of spaciousness, allowing guests to relax and unwind after days spent exploring the Caribbean's islands or the East Mediterranean's coastlines. The dedicated crew of two ensures attentive service throughout the voyage, catering to every need discreetly.
On AVEL VAEZ, dining is an integral part of the charter experience, with meals prepared to suit individual preferences. Guests can enjoy al fresco dining on deck, surrounded by the ocean's expanse and the gentle sea breeze. Alternatively, the interior spaces provide a comfortable setting for more formal meals. Each dish is crafted to complement the journey, whether anchored in a Caribbean bay or sailing along a Mediterranean shore.
For moments of refreshment, an outdoor shower is available on deck, offering a invigorating rinse under the open sky. The swim platform provides direct access to the sea, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the clear, warm waters of the Caribbean or East Mediterranean. These spaces are designed to enhance relaxation and connection with the marine environment.
AVEL VAEZ carries a selection of water toys for enjoyment in the sea. Guests can explore the tranquil anchorages of the Caribbean or East Mediterranean with a paddleboard, offering a unique perspective of the coastline.

What a yacht like AVEL VAEZ costs to own — not just to charter
The published weekly rate for AVEL VAEZ is the base charter fee, not an all-in total. APA, taxes, repositioning and itinerary-specific services are confirmed separately. Ownership of a 18m 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.
