Aft Deck Al Fresco

The expansive aft deck serves as the primary gathering point, a seamless extension of the saloon. Here, beneath the Caribbean sun or a canopy of stars, guests gather around a polished teak table for morning coffee or cocktails at dusk. The gentle sea breeze invigorates, carrying the scent of salt and sunshine, a perfect prelude to evenings spent immersed in conversation and laughter.

Plush, custom-made sun pads offer an unparalleled vantage point, ideal for soaking up rays or enjoying a quiet moment with a good book. The panoramic views of turquoise waters and distant shorelines provide a constant, captivating backdrop, a feeling of being truly at one with the ocean’s vastness.

Deckside Jacuzzi

Indulge in moments of pure bliss within the deckside Jacuzzi. Submerge yourself in warm, bubbling waters as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple. This inviting oasis offers a perfect respite after a day of exploring, a place to unwind completely, perhaps with a chilled glass of champagne in hand, under a blanket of stars.

Four meticulously appointed cabins offer private havens for up to nine guests. The master suite, positioned for maximum privacy, features a generous berth and an ensuite bathroom, providing a tranquil escape. Additional cabins, comprising doubles and a twin with a Pullman, are equally inviting, each designed with comfort in mind and finished with tasteful materials.

Each meal becomes an event, savoured against a backdrop of constantly changing ocean vistas.

Ownership economics

What a yacht like SAPHIRE BLUE costs to own — not just to charter

The published weekly rate for SAPHIRE BLUE is the base charter fee, not an all-in total. APA, taxes, repositioning and itinerary-specific services are confirmed separately. Ownership of a 23m 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.
