DE LOVE is a forty-seven metre sailing yacht built for the way large groups actually want to travel. Launched in 2024, she takes a modern, motor-yacht approach to a sailing hull: a broad flybridge with a spa pool, a comfortable swim platform at sea level, and an open-plan saloon and cockpit that sit on the same level and flow into one another. The result is a yacht with the reach and romance of sail and the space, comfort and easy living of a much larger motor yacht.
She is unusually generous below. Seven double cabins sleep fourteen guests, each with its own bathroom, and the accommodation is arranged so that a large family or a group of friends can travel together without anyone feeling squeezed. The interior is finished in warm timber and soft neutral tones, with framed art, long windows and a calm, contemporary hand throughout. Every cabin is bright and private, and the volume is real rather than clever, so a full charter party lives comfortably for a week or more.
Her decks are the reason to choose her. The flybridge carries a spa pool among the sun pads, the highest and most private lounging space aboard, with the long view over the anchorage. A vast teak deck runs forward past sun pads and shaded seating to the bow, and the aft deck sets a large dining table under the overhang for meals with the whole group. At sea level, a broad swim platform opens the yacht to the water and makes launching the toys effortless. There is space here for fourteen to spread right out.
Inside, the main saloon is a grand, light-filled room. White sofas gather around low tables, a formal dining setting seats the party in comfort, and floor-to-ceiling glass keeps the space open to the sea on every side. It works as one connected living space, generous enough for the group to come together for dinner and relaxed enough to slip away with a book, while air conditioning keeps it cool through the hottest afternoons.
She is built for the Turkish coast and the eastern Mediterranean, where a yacht of this size still fits into the pine-fringed bays and quiet anchorages of the Aegean. She sails when the wind cooperates and motors comfortably when it does not, steady and quiet under way with the range to move between cruising grounds. A crew of ten runs the sailing, the cooking and the water sports, a high ratio that keeps the service attentive and the days unhurried for a large party.
Life aboard is generous and easy. Watermakers, air conditioning, fast connectivity and a full complement of water toys mean the yacht wants for nothing, and the crew turn over the seabobs, water skis and towables through the day while the galley cooks around the group. Mornings start with a swim off the platform, lunch happens at anchor, and evenings settle onto the aft deck or the flybridge as the light goes.
DE LOVE suits large families and groups who want the space of a motor yacht with the character of sail: fourteen guests in seven ensuite cabins, a flybridge spa pool, acres of teak and a crew of ten to run it all. She is roomy, modern and genuinely social, a considered base for a summer along the Turkish and Aegean coast.
