Maintained to an exacting standard and refreshed through a 2024 refit, M3 reads as close to new as a 2002 yacht can. She is a 44.81-metre Intermarine Savannah with an easy, casual elegance, the kind of yacht that invites guests to settle in rather than tiptoe around, and recent work has left her in pristine condition from keel to mast.
Her interior was reimagined with honey glazed maple joinery and black walnut floors, then dressed with new carpet, marble foyer flooring, window treatments and soft furnishings in rich fabrics. Audiovisual and lighting upgrades sit quietly behind the scenes, keeping the technology simple to use. The result is contemporary and comfortable, warm wood tones balanced by pale upholstery and generous light.
The main-deck master is the yacht’s private heart, a king-size stateroom with a large flatscreen and an adjoining sitting room of its own, so the owner’s space doubles as a quiet retreat. The his-and-hers bathroom is finished in marble and granite around a central shower and a Jacuzzi tub. Below, a large VIP stateroom with a king bed is joined by two queen cabins and a twin, each with its own marble bathroom, custom wall coverings and careful detailing. Ten guests are accommodated across the five rooms with real space to spare.
The social spaces flow from bow to stern. A comfortable main salon and formal dining for ten set the tone for evenings aboard, while the galley, rebuilt in recent years, keeps the crew working at full tilt. Up on the bridge deck, the skylounge is both elegant and welcoming, a natural spot for a film night or a drink and hors d’oeuvres at the bar before dinner.
Outdoors, M3 makes the most of her volume. The bridge deck aft opens to a versatile shaded lounge, ideal for lazy afternoons or a long alfresco lunch. Higher still, the sun deck carries a spa pool among loungers, a wet bar with stools and open space to stretch out under the sky. The aft deck and swim platform give easy access to the water and the yacht’s toys.
Beyond her accommodation, M3 is an easy yacht to live with. Her tenders and water toys are stored for quick launching, the crew of nine keeps the day moving without fuss, and the generous beam gives every space room to breathe. Recent mechanical and systems work during the 2024 refit means she runs quietly and reliably, whether on a short island hop or a longer passage between cruising grounds, and the updated audiovisual package ties the whole yacht together at the touch of a screen.
Powered by twin Caterpillar engines for a relaxed twelve-knot cruise and a brisk eighteen-knot top end, and run by a crew of nine, M3 is well suited to the Bahamas and the wider Caribbean. She is a yacht for groups who value comfort and flow over ceremony, with the layout, condition and crew to make a week aboard feel effortless. Families will find space to spread out, while couples travelling together will appreciate the balance of shared rooms and private retreats throughout the yacht.
