A closer look
A Modern Profile
The yacht’s custom design is immediately apparent in her clean, athletic lines and dark, metallic-grey hull. Her profile cuts a sharp silhouette against the water, suggesting a swift and smooth passage. The superstructure is finished in a crisp white, creating a striking contrast that accentuates her modern form. This is a vessel built with both performance and aesthetic purity in mind, perfectly suited to navigating the varied coastlines of her home cruising grounds.
Aft Deck Living
The main deck aft offers a convivial, open-air space for relaxation and casual gathering. A wide, comfortable transom sofa upholstered in a light, neutral fabric faces a fixed wooden table, creating an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening aperitifs. Steps lead down to the water, providing direct access for swimming. The area is partially shaded by the overhang, offering a welcome respite from the midday sun while still connecting guests to the surrounding seascape.
Guest Cabin Retreat
Below deck, the guest cabin provides a calm and private sanctuary. Warm, light-wood panelling lines the walls, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The double berth is dressed in crisp white linens, flanked by integrated bedside tables and subtle reading lights. Natural light filters through a rectangular porthole, offering a glimpse of the water outside. The space is thoughtfully composed, with clean lines and an uncluttered feel that promotes rest and tranquility after a day of exploration.
The En-Suite
Adjoining the cabin, the en-suite continues the yacht’s clean, contemporary aesthetic. A countertop basin sits atop a wooden vanity unit, complemented by a sleek, polished chrome mixer tap. A large, frameless mirror expands the sense of space, while the glass-enclosed shower stall features modern fixtures. The combination of natural wood tones, bright white surfaces, and metallic details results in a functional space that feels both fresh and meticulously finished. It is a private and well-appointed facility.
The Forward Sun Deck
The bow is dedicated entirely to sunbathing and enjoying uninterrupted forward-facing views. A large, custom-fitted sunpad, upholstered in a durable, light-coloured fabric, covers the foredeck, providing an expansive area for multiple guests to recline in comfort. The low profile of the deck ensures a direct connection to the sea and the horizon ahead. This is the prime position from which to feel the sun and the sea spray while cruising between idyllic Mediterranean islands.
Accommodation
BIG BALLOON provides accommodation for up to four guests across two well-appointed cabins. This intimate layout is ideal for a small family or two couples seeking a private charter experience. Each cabin is designed with a clean, contemporary feel, utilising a palette of warm woods and neutral tones to create a restful environment. The configuration allows for a comfortable and personal retreat after a day on the water. With full air conditioning throughout, the interior spaces remain temperate and comfortable, regardless of the midday Mediterranean heat.
Dining on board is a relaxed and intimate affair, tailored to the rhythm of your journey. The aft deck provides a sheltered, open-air setting for light breakfasts or evening drinks, with built-in seating around a handsome wooden table. Inside, the saloon offers an alternative, air-conditioned space for meals, complete with a television and indoor audio system. The single crew member ensures service is personal and attentive, focusing on simple, fresh fare that complements the sun-drenched atmosphere of the East Mediterranean cruising grounds.
Wellness is centred on relaxation and a direct connection to the sea. The forward sunbathing area offers a dedicated space for soaking up the Mediterranean sun, with expansive sunpads providing a comfortable platform for repose. On the aft deck, the shaded sofa is an ideal spot for reading or quiet contemplation. These open-air spaces are designed to allow guests to unwind completely, embracing the calm and restorative effects of life on the water.
For effortless exploration and underwater adventure, BIG BALLOON is equipped with Seabobs. These powerful and agile water toys allow guests to glide across the surface or dive beneath the waves, exploring the clear, warm waters of the East Mediterranean with thrilling speed. They provide a dynamic and exhilarating way to interact with the marine environment, offering easy access to the vibrant underwater world found in secluded coves and anchorages throughout your charter.

What a yacht like BIG BALLOON costs to own — not just to charter
The published weekly rate for BIG BALLOON is the base charter fee, not an all-in total. APA, taxes, repositioning and itinerary-specific services are confirmed separately. Ownership of a 15m 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.
