A beach club on a sixty metre charter yacht transforms the transom into an open-air living room at water level. Hydraulic platforms fold down to create a teak terrace at the waterline, with direct access to the sea, sun loungers, a wet bar and, on many yachts, a sauna or hammam just inside.
Forty charter yachts in the sixty metre band carry a beach club. Builders span the full range of the European yards, from Amels, Benetti and Feadship to Lürssen, Perini Navi and CRN. Deliveries run from 2003 through to 2026, with a clear trend toward larger and more elaborate beach club designs on newer hulls like QU2, Rio and Arience. Most take twelve guests in five or six cabins, with crews of thirteen to eighteen.
Weekly rates start at one hundred and thirty thousand euros for O’Natalina and rise to six hundred and eighty thousand for Lady A. The concentration sits between two hundred and eighty thousand and four hundred and sixty thousand, with a median near three hundred and seventy thousand. Add an advance provisioning allowance of roughly thirty percent for fuel, food, berthing and drinks.
The beach club works best in calm anchorages, and the fleet splits its year accordingly. Mediterranean summers run from the South of France through Corsica, Sardinia and Greece. Caribbean winters fill the Leewards, the Bahamas and the Grenadines. The beach club comes into its own in sheltered bays where the platform sits flush with flat water. Send us your dates.
