The hull's dark tone contrasts with lighter superstructure elements, creating a distinctive aesthetic. The design prioritises clean, uncluttered surfaces, allowing the craftsmanship to speak for itself. Her overall form suggests a vessel designed for graceful movement across the water.
Aft Deck Perspective
From the stern, the yacht's generous beam is evident, providing ample space on the aft deck. The transom features clean lines, leading to a swim platform designed for easy water access. The view aft suggests a vessel well-proportioned for its length, with careful consideration given to both aesthetics and practical on-water enjoyment.

What a yacht like MERLIN costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on MERLIN is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 13m 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.
