A note from your charter specialist
If a client asks me for a yacht that simply gets it right, HOUBARA is usually my first call. With space for 7 guests, she works equally well for a multi-generational family week or a tighter group of friends who want every cabin to feel like a suite. Happy to walk you through a week on board personally — there are a few details that don't make it onto any spec sheet.
