About THE BEAST

Description

View all yachts for charter

Inspired by military vessels but unashamedly luxurious inside and out, THE BEAST was built for an extremely experienced owner and delivered in 2019 by New Zealand shipyard Profab Engineering. Her refined muscularity was immediately recognised when she won a World Superyacht Award in 2020 for yachts under 499GT.

After getting up close and personal with the natural world, her 12 guests can toast their catch at the sun deck's sit-up bar then enjoy it freshly grilled Teppanyaki-style before gathering at the observation lounge forward or stretching out on the sun loungers aft. There's more open air dining on the bridge deck aft as well as lounge areas fore and aft for your digestif and another intimate shaded lounge on the main deck aft where you can watch the miles unwind.

Inside she has cool, contemporary relaxed interiors with generous natural light in all guest areas to make the most of the spectacular views. The bridge deck has a media lounge where you can watch footage of the day's action and there is formal dining and a lounge on the main deck.

This is not just a luxurious charter yacht with a crew of nine. This is a yacht with a thirst for thrills, an appetite for action and a crew that can't wait to deliver both. If that sounds like something you need in your life, get in touch.
