EXCELLENCE is an 80-metre motor yacht delivered by the German shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen in 2019, the sixth yacht to carry her owner’s name and the culmination of decades of yacht-building experience. Developed in close collaboration with Winch Design, her striking reversed ‘eagle’ bow sweeps back ten metres before joining the main deck, paired with expanses of mirrored glazing across the superstructure unlike anything previously fitted to an Abeking & Rasmussen yacht.
Inside, a triple-height glass atrium forms the social heart of the yacht, flooding the main social spaces with natural light and keeping guests visually connected to the surrounding water even while at the centre of the vessel. A tiered cinema, spa with sauna, and a well-equipped gym complete the main deck amenities, while the owner’s deck forms a private retreat wrapped in full-height glass, with its own terraces, dual bathrooms and a serene lounge.
Seven generous suites accommodate up to 12 guests, each with large windows and a refined, modern palette that mirrors the calm of the owner’s quarters. On deck, a main-deck swimming pool, sundeck jacuzzi, and an expansive beach club give guests space to spread out, while zero-speed stabilisers keep the yacht steady at anchor. A crew of 20 delivers a seamless, intuitive charter rhythm across every aspect of the experience.

The exterior deck spaces of Excellence are laid out for the full range of superyacht charter experiences. An expansive aft deck provides a natural gathering point for meals and aperitifs, while the upper deck and sun deck above deliver progressively more sweeping views across the water. At 80 metres, the yacht offers considerable deck area for a group of 12 guests, with lounging, dining and social areas distributed across multiple levels to ensure privacy and variety throughout the day. Whether anchored off an idyllic coastline or in a bustling marina, the outdoor decks of Excellence create a superyacht experience that extends naturally from the interior to the sea.
Excellence’s water sport and leisure inventory is curated to offer genuine variety across any charter itinerary. A selection of high-quality tenders enables seamless transport between yacht and shore, whether for a restaurant dinner, a market visit or a beach excursion. Beyond transport, jet skis, paddleboards, kayaks, snorkelling and diving equipment support time on and in the water, while towable toys and inflatable platforms make the yacht accessible to guests of all ages and inclinations. The crew’s expertise with the toy inventory ensures that every session is safe, enjoyable and as adventurous as guests choose to make it.
Charter itineraries aboard Excellence span some of the world’s finest sailing grounds. Based in Caribbean and West Mediterranean, she is positioned to offer guests access to the most sought-after destinations in yachting: secluded coves accessible only by sea, historic port towns with exceptional dining, vibrant anchorages surrounded by like-minded yachts and genuinely remote coastlines where the only company is wildlife. The professional captain works with guests to construct an itinerary that balances activity and rest, discovery and relaxation, with the flexibility to adapt each day’s plan to the wind, the weather and the preferences of the group.
