A cinema on a fifty metre yacht usually means a retracting screen on the sun deck, large enough to seat twelve guests with cushions and blankets as the sun drops. At this length, the deck is wide enough for a proper viewing angle and the crew can set a full bar without crowding the screen. Some yachts carry a dedicated indoor cinema on the lower deck instead, with surround sound and blackout.
Twenty five charter yachts at fifty metres carry a cinema. The fleet runs from Valerie, built by Codecasa in 2011 and now asking sixty five thousand euros a week, through to recent builds like Cristal and Bellezza above two hundred and fifty thousand. Most take twelve guests in five or six cabins with crews of eleven to fourteen. Nineteen of these twenty five also carry a gym, and fifteen have a beach club, so the cinema is typically part of a broader entertainment package.
Weekly rates range from sixty five thousand to two hundred and ninety five thousand euros, with the median at two hundred thousand. Provisioning adds roughly thirty percent for fuel, food, berthing and drinks. The presence of a cinema correlates with a higher overall specification, so the price reflects the full fit out rather than the screen alone.
Summer evenings in the western Mediterranean run warm and still from June through September, making an outdoor cinema reliable from Sardinia to the Balearics. Caribbean winters deliver clear skies and calm anchorages from the Bahamas to the Grenadines. Tell us your preferred dates.
