FOX is a 34 metre Pendennis explorer delivered in 2024, a brand new British built yacht that charters Italy and the western Mediterranean with real capability and a genuine sense of adventure. She looks after ten guests across five cabins with a crew of eight, and her point of difference is reach: a long legged displacement hull, generous volume and go anywhere design that lets her roam beyond the usual coastline, reaching quiet anchorages and open water that faster, lighter yachts leave behind. For a family or a group of friends who want space, service and the freedom to explore, she is a confident and forward looking choice, as composed at anchor in a busy bay as she is on a long passage.
Being new to the water, she pairs that explorer capability with a modern, considered interior and the attentive service of a crew of eight for just ten guests. She holds a calm, steady line at sea and settles into an anchorage with real poise, and the full crew keep every part of the day running without fuss, from the first swim off the stern to a long dinner under the stars. Clean, purposeful exterior lines give way to warm, light filled rooms below, so the yacht feels capable and self sufficient underway and calm and welcoming once the anchor is down. It is a yacht built to carry a party comfortably for weeks at a time, with the range and the space to turn a charter into a genuine voyage.
Life in the open air spreads generously across her decks, and it begins at the water. A proper beach club and a hydraulic swim platform open the yacht straight to the sea, a social base for swimming, for the tenders and for a long run of water toys. Above, the aft deck gathers shaded seating and an alfresco dining table a few steps from the water, the foredeck sets out sun loungers open to the sky, and an upper deck carries further seating and sun pads with a clear view over the anchorage. In the warm months the open decks are the sociable heart of the yacht, with the clear water of Sardinia and the western Mediterranean always within reach as she moves between coast and open sea.
Inside, the mood is warm, bright and contemporary, finished in pale timber and soft neutral tones with large windows that keep the sea in view from every seat. The main salon is a generous, open living space with deep sofas and a low table, set close to an interior dining area, while an upper salon gives a quieter, lighter lounge a deck above and a handsome bar provides a sociable corner to gather as the evening draws in. The considered, modern finish and the generous volume give the interior a calm, settled feel, an easy counterpoint to the long days spent out on deck and in the water, welcoming by day and composed once the sun has gone.
Accommodation is arranged over five cabins for ten guests, set below the main deck where the motion is gentlest. The master stateroom takes a generous, private position with a wide bed, warm joinery and its own bathroom, while a run of guest cabins and suites, each quiet and comfortable with their own facilities, look after the rest of the party. It is a flexible plan that suits two families or a group of friends travelling together, the cabins ready for couples and for younger guests sharing, every one finished to the same warm, modern standard. New, capable and generously crewed, FOX is a relaxed and genuinely rewarding way to explore Italy and the western Mediterranean with the whole party aboard.
