Having completed her 2021 refit, 44.8m/147ft luxury yacht AUDACES is ready for a summer filled with wanderlust across the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Mediterranean charter grounds.

Enjoying the Jacuzzi and the sunshine on superyacht charter

Visit the unique UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Italy and Croatia, disappear for days amongst the beaches of Corsica, and shop ’til you drop on the glamorous French Riviera liberated from the pandemic. Many luxury yacht charterers have already taken up the opportunity to cruise the Mediterranean this summer, having postponed from the year before, and superyacht AUDACES is a great opportunity to join them with a vessel in brand new condition.

Relaxation area on the aft deck

Inside, the sophisticated contemporary surroundings are ideal for a special occasion or for a family get-together between the different generations. Dine together seated in plush armchairs in an intimate surrounding, then watch a film before bedtime in the sumptuous salon, which feels like a home away from home. Both the main salon and sky lounge above have TV entertainment and a bar, creating options for hosting your own dockside party on a sensational summer night.

The outdoor areas are just as refined, and the group can spend their days dining or lounging in the breeze, admiring the white cliffs amongst the Ionian Islands or the city lights of Naples glittering off the sea. Sunbeds are abundant, and the Jacuzzi on the sundeck is a tempting place to relax with a cocktail from the bar.

Spacious entertainment and socialising areas on board

M/Y AUDACES has a great selection of water toys that have been updated this year, and with her extensive cruising range of 4,000 nautical miles, you’ll be able to head off the beaten path to discover some of the wildest swimming spots.

Large master suite offering plenty of comfort

The gorgeous accommodation carries through the warm colour scheme to create inviting private havens. There are 5 well-proportioned en-suite cabins to accommodate 11 guests: 1 Master suite, 3 double cabins and 1 twin cabin with a Pullman berth. The Master Suite on the main deck forward has the added benefits of a private office, walk-in wardrobe, a lounge in the bedroom and a bathtub amongst the luxuries in the en-suite bathroom.

The pale-grey hull and white superstructure give M/Y SOLARIS the appearance of an explorer yacht, and an arch joining the sides of the superstructure overhead is an iconic element of her design. Another noteworthy feature is the use of more than 2,000m²/21,528ft² of glass surfaces across her decks – the biggest panes ever built into a yacht.

Eight MTU engines produce a combined output of more than 14,000 KW for a speed in excess of 18 knots. In addition, the twin ABB Azipod® system with a combined output of 9MW is the largest ever installed aboard a private vessel.

In the last phase before delivery, luxury yacht SOLARIS was floated out of her dock before heading out to the North Sea to complete her sea trials. The last stages of her interior outfitting were completed around the same time, and she is now ready to take her Owner on adventures.

Turkey is a favourite Eastern Mediterranean destination for its fine summer weather extending into the shoulder seasons, and scenic destinations rich in culture and local stories set the stage for an incredible and memorable adventure. The Turkish Riviera, also known as the Turquoise Coast, is an ideal cruising ground for guests of all ages to enjoy an array of water sports and have close encounters with beautiful marine life in the clear blue sea. Modern motor yachts and sailing catamarans are common sights along the coast and among the islands, and traditionally styled luxury gulets filled with the latest entertainments and comforts are a popular way to make a Turkish charter even more special.

Holidaymakers arriving for a luxury yacht charter will have peace of mind aboard a vessel issued with a Safe Tourism Certificate from accredited institutions, proving the yacht crew’s dedication to applying all the health protocols.

On the part of international tourists, all incoming passengers must complete a Passenger Locator Form at least four days prior to arriving in Turkey, or when applying for an e-visa. The form requires contact information, including accommodation address, to ensure a swift response should anyone come into contact with an individual who later tests positive for Covid-19.

Once the Passenger Locator Form is submitted, a unique HES (Hayat Eve Siğar) will be generated, which stores all the provided information. Passengers must also have a medical certificate with a negative coronavirus PCR test result. The test must be taken no more than 72 hours from the initial embarkation point. Children under six years of age are exempt. Some countries do not need to submit a PCR test: More information can be found at https://www.visasturkey.com/pcr-test-covid-health-requirements/

BODRUM – Turkey. 

As a final precaution, passengers will need to undergo a brief medical check, including a temperature reading, and using a facemask is mandatory in public areas including parks, shops and transport such as taxis and buses.

A luxury yacht charter grants you the freedom to explore far and wide while socially distancing and enjoying all of life’s little pleasures. See an example Turkey charter itinerary for an example of what you could be doing this summer.

South African shipyard Southern Wind has announced the construction of its first hybrid propulsion vessel, the sailing yacht NYUMBA.

Sailing yacht NYUMBA

NYUMBA is the fourth hull in the proven SW96 model and is being constructed for a passionate young Owner now on his third sailing yacht. As a hands-on Owner, he approached Southern Wind to produce a ‘ sexy, comfortable, reliable and above all sustainable’ world-cruising vessel capable of being sailed short-handed with the responsiveness to perform in some of the world’s top regattas.

To meet these criteria, she will be the first sailing yacht from the shipyard to be installed with a hybrid propulsion system. This will be designed in collaboration with multinational company Bae Systems, which constructs technology-led defence and aerospace systems as well as advanced hybrid propulsion systems. The patented ‘Hybrid Gen’ electric propulsion system has been specifically engineered to make S/Y NYUMBA compliant with the IMO Tier III environmental regulations.

Luxury yacht NYUMBA by Southern Wind Shipyard

NYUMBA means ‘home’ in Swahili and reflects the Owners’ desire to spend extensive periods onboard, comfortably cruising. She will be built with a full carbon hull and prepreg side and foredeck for a shallow draft and excellent stability, with hull lines penned by Farr Yacht Design. A lifting keel will grant access to shallower waters to anchor in quiet bays overnight, and a twin rudder configuration, carbon rigging and upgraded hydraulic winches will ensure excellent performance. There is a tender garage able to store a 4.5m/14.9ft tender, and a larger swim platform has been installed for greater comfort and more entertainment space while away from the marina.

The exterior and interior design comes from Nauta Design and features a sleek GT deck configuration designed to meet the client’s specifications. The interiors offer a comfortable and intimate atmosphere for long-term cruising, with the Owner’s cabin placed forward and two guest cabins amidships, and the crew quarters and galley aft. The main salon will be bright and airy, and the space for a fourth cabin will instead be used as a TV lounge with plenty of seating.

Superyacht NYUMBA is currently under construction at the Cape Town facilities and delivery is scheduled for summer 2022.
