Renaissance makes her case quickly. She is a 35-metre Hargrave with a full-beam master on the main deck, a foredeck spa pool and a charter record that owners and crews already trust. For a family or a group that wants space, warmth and an easy rhythm between deck and water, she is a considered choice rather than a compromise.
Her profile is clean and confident, built around volume rather than show. A 2024 refit kept her current, and the result is a yacht that feels composed at anchor and settled underway. Twin Caterpillar engines give her genuine range along the Bahamian chain and up the US East Coast, with a top speed near 22 knots when a passage calls for it.
Accommodation is the heart of her appeal. Five staterooms all carry king beds, and two convert to twins, so the layout flexes from couples to children without a rework. The main-deck master runs the full beam, drawing light from both sides and giving the owner a private remove from the guest deck below. Every cabin reads as calm and uncluttered, finished in soft tones that let the sea outside do the talking.
The social spaces are built for how people actually charter. The main saloon opens to a shaded aft deck for long lunches, while a separate study and library give a quieter corner for a book or a call. Move up and the sun deck becomes the yacht’s centre of gravity: a spa pool set forward, loungers in the sun, a bar within reach and clear views over the water in every direction.
Renaissance was designed for the water as much as the deck. Her tender and toy program is generous, from a Chris-Craft towed tender for shoreside runs to a Laser Pico sailboat and a full spread of watersports kit. A remote underwater camera, able to work well below the surface, streams the seabed back to the saloon, turning an anchorage into something guests remember.
Her cruising grounds play to her strengths. Summers reach the cooler harbours of New England, while the winter season settles into the Bahamas and Florida, where shallow-draught islands and quiet cays suit a yacht of her scale. A crew of five runs her with the discretion charter guests value, handling the detail so the days stay unhurried.
Aboard, the rhythm is easy to fall into. Breakfast arrives on the shaded aft deck, the tender ferries guests to a sandbar for the afternoon, and the evening returns to the sun deck for drinks as the light drops. Because she is sized for genuine privacy rather than grand entertaining, the whole yacht feels like it belongs to the group aboard, which is exactly what most charter guests are really looking for.
What sets Renaissance apart is not a single headline feature but the sum of her decisions. She is the right size for genuine privacy without the formality of a larger yacht, she carries a layout that adapts to who is aboard, and she comes with the reassurance of a boat that has done this before and does it well. For a charter built around family, water and time, she is a yacht that rewards a closer look.
