Aft Deck Lounge

The expansive aft deck serves as the heart of outdoor living. Lined with polished teak, it offers sheltered seating perfect for morning coffee as the sun rises over ancient coastlines. Here, conversations flow easily, accompanied by the gentle lapping of waves against the hull. In the evenings, it transforms into an open-air salon, ideal for starlit aperitifs before a gourmet dinner.

Here, under the warmth of the Mediterranean sun, one can surrender to the rhythm of the ocean, feeling the gentle sea breeze and listening to the distant cry of gulls. It’s a private haven for sun worshipers or those simply seeking a tranquil spot to read and unwind.

Galley's Culinary Hub

Below deck, the galley hums with the quiet efficiency of a professional kitchen. Though often out of sight, it is the creative heart from which exquisite aromas drift, hinting at the culinary delights prepared by the onboard chef. Every dish, from a simple, fresh salad to an elaborate evening meal, begins its journey here, crafted with passion and precision.

Accommodation

Four thoughtfully designed cabins provide sanctuary after a day of exploration. The master suite, positioned for privacy, offers a serene retreat with ample storage and an en-suite bathroom. Guest cabins, configured to maximise comfort, each boast their own character and meticulous finishing, ensuring every guest finds their personal haven. The layout is optimised for intimacy, perfect for families or a close group of friends, with plush linens and subtle lighting creating an atmosphere of calm.

Dining

Culinary journeys aboard are a celebration of the East Mediterranean's bounty. The onboard chef curates menus around fresh, locally sourced ingredients, from just-caught seafood to sun-ripened produce. Dining can be an al fresco affair on the aft deck, under the vast canopy of the stars, or in the elegant main saloon, offering a more formal setting. Each meal is a bespoke experience, tailored to individual preferences and showcasing the vibrant flavours of the region.

Wellness

While dedicated spa facilities are not present, the yacht itself offers a profound sense of well-being. The expansive sun pads invite moments of quiet contemplation and sun-drenched relaxation. The constant fresh sea air, the gentle motion of the ocean, and the serene backdrop of the Mediterranean coastline contribute to a restorative atmosphere, fostering a natural sense of calm and rejuvenation.

Toys & Tenders

For those eager to engage with the crystal-clear waters, a selection of paddleboards provides an excellent way to explore secluded coves and pristine coastlines at a leisurely pace. Light fishing gear is also available, inviting guests to try their hand at catching their own supper. These simple yet engaging activities ensure that time spent in the water is as fulfilling as time spent on deck.

Ownership economics

What a yacht like YCH2 costs to own — not just to charter

The published weekly rate for YCH2 is the base charter fee, not an all-in total. APA, taxes, repositioning and itinerary-specific services are confirmed separately. Ownership of a 28m 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.
