LATIKO carries her 456 gross tons with the kind of quiet confidence that only comes from real volume. Built by Benetti in 2014 and refitted in 2023, she reads less like a fast coastal cruiser and more like a settled, unhurried presence on the water, a 43.6-metre platform with the beam and displacement to stay level and generous rather than lean and sporty. For guests who measure a charter yacht by how it feels to simply be aboard rather than how quickly it gets somewhere, that difference matters.
The signature space is the sundeck, where a hot tub sits beneath a retractable roof that opens the whole area to the sky on a clear afternoon and closes it against sun or a passing squall without anyone needing to move. It anchors a deck built for lingering: a shaded aft table set for ten handles proper dinners under cover, while forward, low sunpads catch whatever’s left of the day’s light in relative privacy from the rest of the boat.
Inside, the main saloon runs long and open, warm timber panelling framing a sofa and armchair arrangement that comfortably holds the full party without feeling crowded. A quieter nook just off it, built-in bookshelves, a window seat, sea views through a single generous pane, gives guests somewhere to read or talk without competing with the main room’s activity. The formal dining room sits through its own archway, a round table properly set with crystal and linen, close enough to the saloon to stay connected to the evening without being part of the same open room.
Five staterooms sleep eleven: a full-beam owner’s suite with its own private deck access, finished with a striking circular ceiling feature and colourful, considered furnishings that break from the expected neutral palette; a VIP stateroom in cooler tones with its own desk; and cabins running through to a genuine twin, complete with a ladder to the upper berth, suited to children or crew guests. Nine crew run the boat for eleven guests, an unusually deep ratio that shows in the standard of service rather than just the numbers, and one that suits a yacht built around comfort over pace.
Water sports go beyond the usual charter inventory: a 12-metre chase tender for reaching farther shores quickly, Fliteboard e-foils for guests who want something more technical than a standard water toy, and RYA training centre certification for those who want proper instruction rather than a quick go. Stabilisers run at anchor and underway, keeping LATIKO settled regardless of what the sea is doing.
LATIKO charters the Mediterranean through the summer season, with winter available on request. For guests who want space to genuinely spread out, a sundeck built for a full afternoon rather than a photo, a dining room that feels like an occasion, and crew numbers deep enough to make eleven guests feel like considerably fewer, she offers scale without losing the sense of being properly looked after. WiFi and air conditioning run throughout, and a small onboard gym means the routine doesn’t have to pause for the length of the charter.
