FABULOUS CHARACTER is a 42.27-metre Holland Jachtbouw motor yacht that more than lives up to her name, an award-winning full-custom yacht that is the perfect base for swanky summers in the Mediterranean and tropical Caribbean winters. Winner of both the prestigious World Superyacht Award and the ShowBoats Design Award in 2011 for her exceptional design, she was delivered in 2010 by the celebrated Dutch shipyard Holland Jachtbouw to a design penned by Langan Design Associates, and was comprehensively refitted in 2022. As classic and timeless as her sharp navy hull and crisp white superstructure, her interior by designer Rhoades Young is beautifully traditional but with a contemporary sensibility, making use of weathered limed oak on the lower and main decks and changing to a more relaxed and nautical teak throughout the upper bridge deck, incorporating French Provencal finishes with elegant curves and flowing lines. One of her defining features is a striking offset spiral staircase that dynamically connects the three decks, its sweeping underside offering panoramic views up through the steps and forming a stunning centrepiece to the yacht. Life aboard FABULOUS CHARACTER flows effortlessly between indoors and out. The entire aft deck and saloon blend into one inside-out space thanks to large sliding doors, ideal for informal leisure at anchor, while a hidden shoji screen can divide the main-deck lounge and dining area on demand when intimate dining is required. The bridge deck sky lounge makes the most of the full beam in tropical teak and white trim, with fully retractable French doors opening to alfresco dining and seating. Outdoor living is generous: guests can sip cocktails on the main deck aft, dine under the stars on the upper deck, or soak up the sun on the expansive sundeck with its Jacuzzi, sunpads and loungers. An ample beach club and swim platform provides easy access to her tenders and array of water toys, and a fully equipped gym ensures fitness-minded guests never miss a workout. Accommodation is arranged for up to 10 guests across five staterooms. The full-beam master suite on the main deck is a private haven, complete with a private library, a full-beam lounge, a study, his-and-hers en-suites and dressing rooms, all flooded with natural light and enjoying a strong visual connection with the outside world. On the lower deck, four further guest staterooms in double and twin configurations, all with en-suite shower rooms and finished in the same weathered limed oak with French-style detailing, offer comfortable and flexible accommodation ideally suited to families or groups of friends. FABULOUS CHARACTER’s nine-strong crew is intent on making each and every moment count, providing impeccable service and personalised touches that make a charter vacation exceptional in every way. With her award-winning pedigree, her characterful modern-classic interior and her sociable layered decks, she offers a genuinely distinctive platform for exploring the Mediterranean in summer and the Bahamas and Caribbean in winter. Everything about FABULOUS CHARACTER remains as her name would suggest, fabulous, from her multi-award-winning design to the impeccable service of her crew, delivering a charter experience that is as distinctive and memorable as the yacht herself. Available through Northrop and Johnson from USD 150,000 per week.
