THE STORY
Our associate from the yacht’s management company emailed us. She reminds us to keep power catamaran QUARANTA in mind when providing families with yachting options this summer in the Mediterranean.
We are pleased to inform you that Quaranta will be available this summer in the South of France and Adriatic!
QUARANTA is the first motor yacht of the Curvelle Shipyard in Turkey. She is a winner of multiple prestigious design awards; although a 34m, 111′ superyacht catamaran, QUARANTA has as much interior and exterior volume as other performance monohulls in the 40m – 42m range.
(Your clients) will appreciate the huge windows in every guest cabin and the flexibility of the stateroom layout configuration. All cabins can be rearranged and combined to a variety of different layouts to specifically cater to the client’s needs. Double cabins, twin cabins, triple cabins are all possible. In total, there are over 20 different layouts.
Her key features are, for example,

WHAT WE LIKE
Romina knows we like to offer our clients superyachts with special features and great value. There is one big request by our clients with large families. “Is there enough space for everyone to feel comfortable?” Yacht QUARANTA is the perfect alternative for these clients. With a 9 meter beam and 4 decks, private luxury yacht charter guests can about 50% more guest accommodation space than a comparable 30 meter monohull. The mid and upper decks are wide open, as is the large deck area on the Main Deck. This yacht is socialization personified!
Our favorite onboard feature is the unique lowering platform that doubles as beach club deck. This platform can lower guests straight from the main deck and into the water. That’s so cool and unique!

The 57 meter Dutch-built luxury sailing charter vessel presents a unique itinerary. She is the latest example of the superyachts venturing off the traditional Mediterranean-Caribbean, “Milk Run.“
Royal Huisman’s commercial manager is Evert van Dishoeck. Evert commented:
The sailing superyacht market is a niche market, but we have had a lot of interest here at the (Singapore) show. It was a great opportunity to be able to display a unique yacht such as TWIZZLE…(she) truly combines the best of both worlds – the excitement of sailing, combined with the space, luxury and all amenities of a large motor yacht.”
“In Asia, there is a saying ‘every long march starts with a first step.’“
The biggest highlight of snorkeling during a Caribbean yacht charter is usually swimming among schools of fish, or seeing sea turtles and sting rays from afar. However, one charter yacht hopes to offer visitors the chance to frolic with a much larger marine animal.
