SECRET LIFE is a beautiful and characterful 45-metre classic motor yacht built by the legendary Dutch shipyard Feadship and delivered in 1974, formerly known as Jardell II and Al Mahboba. A meticulously preserved and much-loved pleasure craft with a rich history and an excellent charter reputation, she has been kept to modern standards through a series of refits, the most recent in 2023, ensuring her mechanical and operational systems are thoroughly up to date while her timeless styling is shown off to perfection. She is a classic, elegant and refined yacht of inimitable style and pedigree, with graceful exterior lines by the renowned De Voogt that have aged beautifully. Built on a full-displacement steel hull with an aluminium superstructure over three decks, she is a genuinely seaworthy vessel with a lovely motion at sea and great stability at anchor, fitted with stabilisers for added comfort, and her long range of over 4,500 nautical miles makes her the ideal yacht for cruising the Mediterranean without the need to stop and refuel, cruising comfortably at 10 to 12 knots with a top speed of 14 knots. Her interior is classic yet has been given a contemporary feel throughout, with timeless styling, beautiful furnishings and sumptuous seating creating an elegant and comfortable atmosphere across her living areas. Her sumptuous main salon is ideal for entertaining, and a wonderful and versatile feature is that its big opening windows and a sliding partition allow it to be divided into two separate rooms, particularly useful for events and corporate functions, for which she is beautifully suited, with a capacity for up to 150 guests. Forward and separate is the formal dining room, seating up to twelve guests in comfort, and she also offers a quiet library, a peaceful retreat for relaxed afternoons. Life on deck is exceptional, with vast deck spaces featuring integrated sun pads and generous seating, perfect for enjoying the Mediterranean sun, dining alfresco or socialising and entertaining with family and friends. Accommodation is arranged for up to 12 guests in five comfortable en-suite staterooms. The full-beam master cabin is located amidships on the lower deck, with a two-metre California king bed and a settee that converts into a further double bed, which can be separated from the main cabin by a sliding door. The full-beam VIP double cabin sits forward on the main deck and can itself transform into a cosy salon, while a further queen and two twin cabins on the lower deck complete flexible accommodation, all with en-suite facilities, a fridge and an entertainment system, making her well suited to families, groups and events alike. A professional crew of up to ten ensures relaxed, attentive and highly personal service throughout. Powered by twin engines, SECRET LIFE cruises the Mediterranean year-round, taking in both the western and eastern Mediterranean as well as venturing to Northern Europe, offering charter guests a rare combination of classic Feadship pedigree, timeless elegance, wonderfully versatile and event-friendly living spaces and long-range comfort aboard one of the most characterful classic motor yachts of her size on the charter market.
