With living space for 12 guests, CHANTAL MA VIE gives you a full beam master suite made up of the cabin, his and her en suites with a full sized bath and a separate office. Situated forward on the main deck, this gives you peace and privacy. Your guests are accommodated in four double guest suites and a VIP suite on the lower deck, all generously sized.
Start the day with breakfast on the upper deck and views of your anchorage around you. The crew is serving coffee and are ready to take your order for pancakes. When sailing in the tropics the village markets sell fresh coconuts and exotic fruits to add to the menu, while the Mediterranean offers a cuisine rich with pastries, honey, cheese and yoghurt.
Talk around the table turns to the day ahead. Some are keen to take a fishing trip and others have their eye on the watertoys. The yacht has two tenders - the 9.45m (32ft) chase tender with inboard engine is set up for fishing, and the crew use their local knowledge to find the best spots. The other 7.32m (24ft) Nautica is ready to take out the waterskis and wakeboard or entertain you with the towable banana.
The crew also have the 180hp jetskis tethered astern, and anyone interested in a quieter pursuit has the option of a paddleboard or kayak. Sun worshippers will head to the large open top deck to catch the rays and dip in the jacuzzi – up here you will truly get away from it all. The second jacuzzi is just inches from the waterline on the swim platform – from there you can watch the antics in the water in real style.
After lunch it is time to up anchor and sail along the coast to your evening destination. You join the captain on the bridge to take the helm of this fine yacht, as she makes 12 knots in open water. Reaching the harbour in good time, you find your family and friends enjoying sundowners the main deck aft.
Later the chef is serving a feast of the seafood caught earlier today, and you will dress for dinner in the main saloon. But right how you take a moment to savour the good times in good company.
