When it comes to owners choosing unique names for their yachts, there’s no lack of inspiration. From the obvious ( LADY SARA, LISA IV, et al) to the sublime (e.g. CLOUDBREAK, PARADISE, et al), the only limit to a creative name for a yacht is the owner’s imagination.
While we’ve seen yachts named after famous movies, animals, and people, we have to admit – a yacht named after a candy bar is unique and rare!
So, our team had to chuckle when a beautiful new yacht recently entered the luxury yacht charter marketplace, sporting a name inspired by a popular candy bar found in your neighborhood grocery store.
The Sunseeker 131 motor yacht TAKE 5 shares a name with the well-known Hershey Company candy bar.
The candy bar (per Hershey) is, “…five layers of sweet and salty goodness that doesn’t ask you to compromise. It’s crunchy pretzels, smooth peanut butter, salty peanuts and sweet caramel—all wrapped in silky milk chocolate.”
The eponymous yacht (per Sunseeker) is, “A sublime example of design and engineering, every detail, feature and interior space is nothing short of extraordinary.”
Seems both manufacturer are equally proud of their creations!
Since her launch in 2016, yacht TAKE 5 Sunseeker 131 was strictly used for the personal enjoyment of the owner and his family and friends. Now that the yacht is available for luxury yacht charter, it will be based in the Caribbean during the winter/spring, and in the Western Mediterranean in the summer.
FIVE FLAVORS…FIVE FEATURES
With the candy bar featuring five layers of flavor, it’s only fitting to present five unique charter features about the yacht:
Five stylish and seductive staterooms accommodating up to 12 guests
Fantastic Sundeck with large forward Jacuzzi
Chic beach club at water level
Toy free decks (more space for entertaining and socializing)
Zero speed stabilization system (for maximum comfort while cruising and at anchor)
By the way, in case you thought it was just a coincidence that the yacht and candy bar share a name – individual snack sized Take 5 candy bars fill crystal candy bowls throughout the superyacht!

When it comes to luxurious sailing yachts, one name has dominated the industry for years. The name is Perini Navi. A Perini Navi yacht charter is the fusion of the luxury of a motoryacht. Specifically with the exhilaration and performance of a wind-powered sailboat. Sailing is ultimately eco-friendly. It is the superyacht experience™.
For the past decade, the 64 meter Perini Navi sail yacht SPIRIT OF THE C’s cruised the warm winter waters of the Caribbean. Now, the yacht owner’s office has contacted us to promote a special rate for the remainder of the season. Uniquely, enjoy 7 nights for the price of 6, now through April 30, 2017.
So, for example, book a Virgin Islands yacht charter holiday onboard yacht SPIRIT OF THE C’s and you’ll save 14%…
ABOUT THE YACHT
One of the largest and fastest aluminum sailing yachts in the world, SPIRIT OF THE C’s (ex- FELICITA WEST) is currently available for charter in the Caribbean. After an extensive refit which included a sundeck extension, a complete rebuild and refurbishment of her interior, and the remodeling of the guest cockpit area, she is ready to welcome up to 10 guests in five well-appointed cabins, including a full-beam width master stateroom.
Her new brighter and slightly more minimalistic interior creates a sense of space and an easy flow throughout the yacht.
As for the outdoor spaces, on the main deck, the dining and lounging areas are well-protected from the sun and the wind, while the flybridge is the perfect location for all’aperto (outdoor) dining — the views from here are stunning. With a dedicated crew of 12 professionals, this is an ideal yacht for island hopping throughout the Caribbean, and we highly recommend this yacht for Virgin Island yacht charter holiday, as the winter breezes are ideal for spirited sailing.
