A closer look

Aft Deck Perspective
The expansive aft deck presents an open vista, drawing the eye towards the horizon. Teak decking underfoot provides a warm, natural texture, inviting barefoot comfort. The clean lines of the yacht's structure frame a broad expanse of water, hinting at the freedom of the open sea. This area is ideal for observing the yacht's progress or simply enjoying the ocean air.

Sailing Under Canvas
Captured from a distance, the yacht glides gracefully across the water, sails fully deployed. The mast stands tall against the sky, supporting the canvas that propels her forward. The hull cuts a sleek profile through the gentle swell, reflecting the light. This view encapsulates the essence of a sailing yacht, showcasing her elegance and power in motion.

Foredeck Serenity
The spacious foredeck offers an uninterrupted expanse of teak, stretching towards the bow. The clean, uncluttered surface provides a vast area for sunbathing or quiet contemplation, with the rhythmic sound of waves against the hull. Anchoring equipment is neatly stowed, preserving the sleek aesthetic. This forward vantage point offers a unique perspective on the surrounding seascape.

What a yacht like L HIPPOCAMPE costs to own — not just to charter
