Who TRIPLE 888 EIGHT suits
TRIPLE 888 EIGHT provides a balanced retreat for small groups or families looking to explore the coast. She accommodates 8 guests across 4 cabins and is supported by a crew of 3. Her layout creates a comfortable space for socialising, featuring a jacuzzi on deck for relaxation and a swim platform for water access. Guests can enjoy the water with paddleboards and a waverunner, while the onboard bbq allows for relaxed dining under the sky.
When positioned in Northern Territory Australia, she sits close to the typical length for comparable yachts in the area. Her guest capacity remains the same as other alternatives, and the weekly rate is similar. As a 29.6 m motor yacht, she carries a build year older than the other vessels in this peer group. This provides a traditional feel for those who appreciate the established character of the Horizon build from 2008.
The best time for a charter is between May and September, which aligns with the dry season in Northern Territory Australia. During these months, the humidity is low and south-easterly winds prevail. July and August are the busiest periods, whereas the shoulder months of May and September provide calmer conditions. It is prudent to avoid the wet season from October to April, as the high humidity, significant rainfall, and tropical cyclones make offshore cruising hazardous in Oceania.
