Step into a sanctuary of refined comfort on the upper deck. Sunlight streams through expansive windows, illuminating carefully curated interiors by Kerry Alexander. Sink into deep, plush seating, a chilled aperitif in hand, as the East Mediterranean panorama unfolds. It’s an ideal setting for intimate conversations or simply to lose oneself in a compelling book, the gentle hum of the ocean a constant, soothing companion.
01 · Design
The Aft Deck Al Fresco
The vast aft deck offers an unparalleled al fresco experience. Imagine long, leisurely breakfasts bathed in the morning sun, the scent of the sea invigorating your senses. By evening, it transforms into a sophisticated dining area under a canopy of stars, where laughter and conversation flow freely, framed by the gentle sway of the yacht and the distant twinkle of coastal lights. This space truly connects you with your surroundings.
02 · Guest life
The Sky-High Helipad
Beyond its practical utility, the helipad on TRUE NORTH offers a unique vantage point. It’s a stage for dramatic entrances and swift departures, but also an extraordinary open-air observation deck. Picture sunset cocktails with an unobstructed 360-degree view, the horizon stretching infinitely before you. Or perhaps a sunrise yoga session, the vastness of the sea beneath providing an inspiring backdrop to your morning routine.
03 · On the water
Connected Seclusion
Despite being an oasis of privacy, TRUE NORTH ensures you remain effortlessly connected. Robust satellite communications keep you in touch with the world, while seamless Wi-Fi allows for sharing those breathtaking moments in real-time. Whether catching up on headlines or sending postcards from paradise, the balance between blissful isolation and modern convenience is perfectly struck, ensuring peace of mind throughout your journey.
Interiors & dining
Inside TRUE NORTH
Culinary excellence is a cornerstone of the TRUE NORTH experience. A dedicated chef crafts bespoke menus, drawing inspiration from the vibrant flavours of the East Mediterranean and beyond. Whether it's a casual al fresco lunch on the aft deck or a more formal evening affair in the main salon, each meal is an occasion. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients are paramount, ensuring every dish is a delightful journey for the palate, tailored to individual preferences and dietary requirements.
