“I've been on board LAUREL LEE more times than I can count, and she still surprises me. With space for 10 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.”
Accommodation
5 elegantly appointed cabins host up to 10 in serene comfort, served by a professional crew of 3.
Indicative layout based on 5 cabins / 10 guests. Final cabin configuration confirmed by the yacht's manager at enquiry.
