Eleven guests at fifty metres is five couples and one more, on a hull with enough volume that the odd berth never feels like an afterthought. Fifty metres brings a full beam master, a proper beach club or swim platform and a crew of nine to eleven, the point at which service stops being visible and simply happens.
Four yachts carry this combination. Columbus Yachts’ K2 is the newest and the longest at forty nine metres, with a beach club, a gym and five cabins. Royal Hakvoort’s Amica Mea runs five cabins with a spa and a cinema. Trinity’s Nicole Evelyn is the American built option at forty seven metres, and CRN’s Lady Ellen II solves eleven guests across six cabins, which is the cleanest answer to the odd number on this list.
Weekly rates run from one hundred and twenty six thousand euros for Lady Ellen II to two hundred and seventy thousand for K2, with the median near one hundred and seventy thousand. Add an advance provisioning allowance of roughly thirty percent covering fuel, food, berthing and drinks. Age is the main lever, since the newest hull asks more than twice the oldest.
Three of the four winter in the Bahamas and the Caribbean, making it a strong list for a Christmas or February week around the Exumas, Saint Barths and the Virgin Islands. K2 and Lady Ellen II also work the Mediterranean, Croatia, Greece and Italy through the summer. Tell us who the eleventh guest is and we will start from the cabin plan.
