LADY IN BLUE makes her case on character. Built in 1999 to a design by Ugo Faggioni and given a comprehensive refit in 2025, she is a 41-metre motor yacht with the kind of timeless proportions that never date, brought fully up to modern standard inside. The result is a yacht that feels both established and fresh: classic lines and a warm pedigree, matched to interiors and systems that belong to today.
Her defining note, fittingly, is blue. A crisp nautical palette of navy and white runs through the yacht, from the deck cushions to the salon, giving her a coherent, considered look that photographs beautifully and reads as effortless in person. Faggioni’s styling favours clean shapes and generous glazing, so light moves freely through the living spaces and the sea is never far from view.
The main-deck salon is open and sociable, pairing a comfortable lounge with a formal dining area framed by display shelving and tall windows. Above, a sky lounge wrapped around a curved sofa offers a quieter room with its own character, ideal for a film or a calm hour while the party is spread across the decks. The flow between inside and out is easy, which is what a Mediterranean charter asks for most.
Accommodation is arranged over five en-suite cabins for up to 10 guests. The master is a calm, contemporary space with a private desk and sea-view windows, while a pair of further doubles and two twin cabins give families and groups flexible sleeping, each finished in the same fresh blue-and-white language and each with its own bathroom. A crew of seven, experienced and discreet, runs the yacht with the ease that comes from a well-sorted, recently refitted boat.
Outdoor living is generous for her length. The aft deck sets up for long lunches by the water, the foredeck carries sun pads for lazy afternoons, and the sun deck gives guests an open, elevated space for the passage between bays or a sundowner at anchor. Shade and seating are arranged so there is always a comfortable spot to move to as the day turns, and the swim platform and toys make the most of the warm Mediterranean water.
With a semi-displacement hull and a steady 14-knot cruise, she is built for comfortable, unhurried passages rather than headline speed, which suits the way she is chartered: island-hopping along the French and Italian Rivieras, around Corsica and Sardinia, and into the quieter corners of the western Mediterranean and Adriatic.
LADY IN BLUE is a yacht for guests who value character and craftsmanship over the latest launch, and who appreciate the reassurance of a 2025 refit under a classic exterior. At her weekly rate she offers a lot of considered, well-kept yacht, and a look that is entirely her own. Her steady, shallow manner makes her forgiving in a swell and easy at anchor, and the recent refit means the details that matter on charter, from air conditioning to entertainment systems, simply work as they should. The crew tailor each week to the party aboard, whether that means a lively family holiday across the islands or a quieter cruise for two.
