A closer look

The Modern Profile
The yacht’s profile is a composition of clean, flowing lines and tiered decks that create a sense of elegant elevation from the water. Expansive glazing is integrated into the superstructure, reflecting the sky and sea. The hull contrasts with the crisp white of the upper levels, defining a form that is both powerful and graceful as it rests at anchor. The overall impression is one of contemporary design in complete harmony with its marine environment.

Aft Decks and Water Access
From the stern, the yacht’s design opens up to the ocean. The tiered aft decks provide multiple levels for relaxation, culminating in a broad swim platform close to the water’s surface. The structure’s clean, white surfaces are accented by polished steel and glass, giving the vessel a sharp, contemporary finish. Each level appears to offer an uninterrupted connection to the surrounding views, inviting guests to enjoy the open air and the seascape beyond.

The Main Saloon
The main saloon is a tranquil space defined by a light, neutral palette and soft, curving forms. A large, pale-coloured sofa follows the contour of the room, complemented by sculptural armchairs and a low, polished coffee table. Full-height windows flood the interior with natural light, blurring the boundary between the saloon and the ocean outside. Polished floors reflect the ambient light, while subtle textures in the furnishings add layers of quiet sophistication to the welcoming, open-plan area.

The Master Suite
A sanctuary of calm, the master suite employs a palette of soft neutrals, from the cream-coloured carpets to the textured bulkhead behind the large central bed. An integrated sofa sits beneath a wide window, offering a private space for contemplation with direct views of the sea. Warm, indirect lighting accentuates the clean lines of the joinery and the gentle curves of the furniture. The space is arranged to maximise comfort and light, creating a serene personal retreat.

Saloon and Dining Area
Adjacent to the lounge area, the formal dining space is framed by expansive windows that ensure every meal is accompanied by a panoramic view. A substantial, polished table is surrounded by elegantly upholstered chairs, set for a formal service. The open-plan layout allows for a seamless flow from pre-dinner conversation in the saloon to the dining experience itself. The lighting is carefully considered, creating an intimate atmosphere that highlights the refined materials and clean design of the interior.
Accommodation
The interior arrangement provides sleeping for up to twelve guests across five finely appointed cabins. This flexible layout is designed to comfortably accommodate family groups or parties of friends, offering a collection of private, air-conditioned sanctuaries for rest after a day on the water. Each cabin is a study in refined comfort, designed with a serene atmosphere and meticulous attention to detail. The eight-person crew has separate quarters to ensure guest privacy is paramount at all times.



The on-board culinary journey is tailored entirely to guest preference, orchestrated by a professional crew. Dining can be a formal affair in the main saloon, where panoramic windows frame the seascape, or a more relaxed al fresco meal on an exterior deck. The crew’s expertise ensures that every menu is crafted with precision, transforming fresh ingredients into exceptional dishes, whether for a celebratory dinner or a light lunch between swims.
A dedicated gym with exercise equipment allows for invigorating workouts with a view of the water. Afterwards, cool down in the deck swimming pool or with a rinse at the outdoor shower. The beach club and swim platform create a private terrace at sea level for easy access to the water, while the sun pads offer a sublime setting for soaking up the Oceania sun. These spaces combine to create a comprehensive wellness and relaxation experience.
An extensive collection of water toys is available for exploring the waters of Oceania. Glide across the surface on a kayak or paddleboard, or seek faster thrills with the wakeboard and adult water skis. For group fun, the towable banana boat and tube provide high-speed excitement. The selection ensures that guests can actively engage with the warm, clear seas, all deployed from the yacht’s swim platform by the attentive crew.

What a yacht like NORTHERN ESCAPE costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on NORTHERN ESCAPE is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 41m 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.
