Who BELLE suits
BELLE is a 29.9 m motor yacht that accommodates 8 guests across 4 cabins. She is a suitable choice for families or close groups who value a well-maintained environment, supported by 5 crew members. Her onboard experience is enhanced by practical amenities including stabilisers at anchor and an indoor audio system, while her selection of water toys includes paddleboards and water skis for those wishing to enjoy the water.
When positioned in Northern Territory Australia, she sits at a similar length to comparable yachts in the area. Her cabin configuration means she takes fewer guests than many alternatives found in this region. While her build year is similar to other yachts of this type, chartering BELLE involves a higher weekly rate than the options typically found alongside her.
The best time to charter BELLE in Oceania, Northern Territory Australia, is during the dry season months of May, June, July, August, and September. These months provide the most stable conditions for cruising, with lower humidity and steady winds. July and August are particularly popular, while May and September provide calmer waters for a more relaxed pace. Offshore cruising should be avoided from October through to April, as the wet season brings significant rainfall and tropical cyclones to the area.

Best time
The charter season runs from May to September, coinciding with the dry season. During these months, humidity is low and south-easterly winds prevail. July and August are the busiest periods. The shoulder months of May and September offer calmer conditions but may experience higher temperatures. The wet season, from October to April, brings high humidity, significant rainfall, and tropical cyclones, making offshore cruising hazardous during this time.
