The timeless Superyacht HELIOS is fresh from the yard following a major 18-month refit. She remains one of the most well-appointed Superyachts available for charter today.

Lots of work

HELIOS was given new exterior paint from top to bottom and had her guest cabins all reupholstered in luxurious fabrics. She also benefits from new teak decks, upgraded lighting and A/V equipment on all decks and new air-conditioning and carpets. Extensive mechanical and technical updating also took place and all stone work was professionally cleaned and polished.

Now looking as good as new with lots of new luxury amenities, HELIOS yacht is the perfect private retreat for a sunshine cruise.

What’s in a name?

Inspired by the sun god of Greek mythology, and with a striking snow-white and midnight blue hull. HELIOS fittingly boasts wonderfully expansive deck areas designed for soaking up the sunshine in style.

Her spacious design provides accommodation for 12 guests across a full-beam master, four doubles and a twin, with space for up to 17 crew, to ensure a relaxed charter experience.

Her best feature is unquestionably HELIOS’s glorious remodelled 100ft sundeck, where guests can enjoy a dip in the oversized Jacuzzi while enjoying a cocktail from the nearby bar, before retiring to the sunpads or lounge.

EYOS Expeditions, the world’s foremost provider of private yacht expeditions, and Nansen Polar Expeditions, have joined forces on a long-term strategic alliance coinciding with Nansen’s recent fleet expansion. Together, EYOS and Nansen will combine their collective experience to introduce a new expedition yacht experience in the polar regions.

Nansen Polar Expeditions has been operating since 2019. Their first vessel was MV Villa, a rugged yet luxurious expedition ship. Recently acquired MV Nansen Explorer, a 72m ICE 1A+ vessel will accommodate 12 guests following an extensive refit. EYOS has more than a decade of experience operating private yacht expeditions to the polar regions aboard the world’s most prestigious private and charter expedition yachts. This alliance will see EYOS take on the expedition management and charter sales for this exciting new addition to the fleet.

EYOS CEO Ben Lyons said, “One of the most exciting elements of our new alliance with Nansen Polar Expeditions is the ability to go beyond the boundaries of a typical expedition. Given the high ice-class and helicopter capability of MV Nansen Explorer, we intend to reach destinations far removed from even where most expedition vessels are sailing, and certainly well out of reach of a conventional superyacht.”

Nansen Polar Expeditions CEO Audun Lie Dahl said, “Working so closely with EYOS on this multi-faceted alliance opens up new markets and opportunities for both companies. There is a great personal connection and history between us, and we couldn’t have found a better partner as we continue to expand our fleet.”

Nansen’s Senior Expedition Leader and partner in the company is Martin Enckell, who is a long time EYOS guide and Expedition Leader. Lyons added, “All of us at EYOS are thrilled to be working with Martin and the entire Nansen team, most of whom we have known and sailed with on expeditions for ten years or more. I’ve been fortunate enough to sail with Martin on many EYOS expeditions to both the Arctic and Antarctic; his professionalism, expertise and tremendous personality make him a favourite of our clients. To be able to work together with his team in such a strong alliance seems a perfect opportunity.”

Sound exciting? Fancy taking your yacht, owner and guests somewhere truly special? Get in touch to see what EYOS and Nansen can do for you.

Who’s Working On The Superyacht?

The Owner, having an exceptional interest and aptitude for both exterior and interior yacht design, has selected professional designer Michael Leach Design to enhance the vessel’s exterior styling along with the Owner’s interior. Damen Yachting’s in-house team has developed the one-off custom naval architecture and detailed engineering. Burgess New Construction has been appointed to project manage the build, after the sales team represented the Owner during the purchase process.

Managing Director Rose Damen:

“This hybrid expedition vessel is an absolutely unique project. For us it has been very exciting to bring the Owner’s very unique vision to reality. We are dedicated to developing more efficient propulsion and power management solutions for our clients, which are underpinned by an environmentally sensitive mind-set. We are proud to be at the forefront of a new breed of luxury expedition vessels and this highly innovative new project embodies this approach.’’

---

Features

The vessel is characterised by large and flexible outdoor spaces that can be used for both sun and shade as well as tender and toy storage. The deck can also accommodate modular equipment including a deck swimming pool and a removable battery bank. With a Gross Tonnage of 1,440, the spacious interior features a dedicated Owners Deck, a VIP cabin and generous areas for guest entertainment. A Touch & Go Helipad allows for convenient access.

Full service will be provided by up to 24 crew, including staff and specialists. The powerful deck crane will deploy equipment up to 14 tonnes including a 13-metre fast RIB, a 9-metre utility craft and a car.

---

Efficient Power

The rugged ocean-going vessel will be powered by a highly efficient power and propulsion configuration. In addition to the two main engines, she will have PTO/PTI hybrid electrical drives that are suitable for running up to 8 knots. She will have significant on-board battery power for normal use including silent nights at anchor without generator power. The stored power can be increased with containerised battery packs for extended zero-emission silent cruising in fragile marine systems. All outdoor spaces will be finished in synthetic teak decking as a more sustainable, durable and low maintenance alternative.

95m MADSUMMER is FOR SALE: €225,000,000

Among the latest stalwart yachts of the German shipyard Lurssen. Delivered in 2019, her exterior by Harrison Eidsgaard is handsome and well balanced with a sharp raked bow.

 

Designed by Laura Sessa

Her interior utilizes an array of colors and textures that are stylish and contemporary while also inviting and warm. She is aglow in brilliant blues, whites and reds. The spaces throughout the yacht are cheerful and elegantly frame the azure water outside in way that is uniquely beautiful as a result of its colorful light-heartedness.

Aft on the main deck is an impressive 12m swimming pool and jacuzzi. A noteworthy feature of the pool is how the teak from the deck curves up the sides of the pool, which makes it very eye-catching. On either side are built-in sunpads alongside privacy glass that also helps shield guests from any wind. Forward of the pool, are two large formal dining tables. Separating the spaces is a bar with numerous seating options and coffee tables. Large sliding doors open to the salon and allow for an easy flow between the exterior to interior spaces.

 

The main salon

Features a soft royal blue silk carpet adorned with a bespoke dining table for 14 that is eye-catching through its use of colored lacquer concealed beneath a white layer etched with circular patterns that reveal the punches of color beneath. On the wall is artwork by artist Santiago Montoya that overlooks the dining table and is made of colorful banknotes in a style reminiscent of the work of Andy Warhol. The forward main deck is home to six of the yacht’s 10 guest cabins. Each cabin has its own colorful theme with lacquered sycamore wardrobe doors, silk carpeting and custom furnishings. Each cabin has an en-suite bathroom featuring hand-dyed mother of pearl framed mirrors and bright Calacatta marble throughout.

 

The upper deck

Houses three more guest cabins: a double and two VIPs that mirror each other in layout. Again, these cabins are a punch of color and utilize stunning accents of woods, marble, and various fabrics. All three cabins feature enormous windows. Forward, the cinema overlooks the bow. The huge floor to ceiling windows are made of electrically dimmable glass – a first on a yacht. On either side, a flush sliding door leads out to the foredeck, which features a built-in sofa and table on one side and a sunpad on the other. The upper deck salon features an eye-catching bar that immediately draws the eye. Adjacent to the bar is a Steinway and Sons grand piano and comfortable custom sofas and coffee tables.

 

The bridge deck

Features the private master suite aft and the bridge forward. The cabin is expressive with its generous use of blues accented with whites and reds. The whole space is colorfully appointed and completely private from other areas of the yacht, including an aft-facing private terrace only accessible from the master cabin. There are numerous spaces to relax in the master suite that include a dining table, sunbeds, sofas and coffee tables. The master suite features a his-and-hers bathroom as well as his-and-hers dressing rooms. This deck features two wings that allow the owner to view down to the pool area two decks below. The high-tech bridge has been nicely appointed as if it were a guest area.

 

The Gym

Located on the sun deck, which is also home to a jacuzzi forward and a hardened deck aft designed to hold the weight of a Husky seaplane. A crane hidden in the bulwark is used to hoist the aircraft to and from the water. When the aircraft is not present on the sun deck, the space becomes a dance floor and party space.

 

The lower deck

Features the yacht’s spa, wellness center and beach club. The starboard side has a large door that opens nearly flush to the sea, which can also double as a reception or in-boarding space for guests arriving by tender. The spa is an inviting and calm space accented with lacquered wood details

 

MADSUMMER features two tender garages, one forward and one aft. These house an 11m Maori Yacht Limo tender, a Ski Nautique, a 10m Rib and a rescue tender. There are also five PWCs, a range of water toys and a large selection of diving equipment. The foredeck is certified for helicopter operations. MADSUMMER has a range of up to 6,000nm at 12 knots and a top speed of 18 knots.

The recent retightening of restrictions, particularly in Europe, has led many to reassess their holiday plans and the yacht charter experts, Y.CO, advise they’ve seen a significant increase in clients wanting to escape for the festive season, with many choosing yacht charter as the perfect solution to the ever-changing global travel restrictions.

The private exclusivity afforded by yacht charter offers a Covid-friendly environment that enables family and friends to join together safely, away from the restrictions they may be facing at home.

Charlie Birkett, Y.CO Co-Founder and CEO explains:
“Throughout the summer we saw a steady increase in demand and a lot of last-minute bookings from European Clients choosing to take advantage of the different destinations as they reopened. We’re now seeing Clients – particularly those from the US who may have missed out on their usual summer break – contacting us to ask about options for Christmas and New Year. There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the holiday season, especially with the rapidly changing social restrictions, and it is clear that Clients are viewing yacht charter as an attractive option for their Christmas and New Year breaks due to the natural isolation, self-sufficiency, and freedom it offers. With everything that a superyacht offers, from world-class chefs to gyms and spas, guests can spend a week exploring some of the most beautiful places in the world and don’t even need to go ashore if they don’t want to. Much of the Caribbean and Bahamas has reopened for the winter season, and Y.CO is updating Clients regularly on the latest last-minute opportunities to help them make the most of this. Our team are working hard to take care of all the logistics and entry requirements for our Clients as well as planning amazing escapades to entertain their families. We hope that, for our Clients at least, we can make 2020 the year to remember for all the right reasons!”

Y.CO’s team of charter specialists has compiled several sample itineraries based on destinations that are open for cruising this winter. For personalised itineraries, experience recommendations as well as detailed advice regarding logistics and entry requirements, interested parties should contact Y.CO directly – experience@y.co.

The Maldives – open for Yacht Charter with no travel or quarantine restrictions.
With 1,200 picture-perfect islands and atolls and almost no travel restrictions to speak of, the Maldives is high on the list for anyone hoping to enjoy a Christmas Yacht Charter without seeing a soul. And being on board a superyacht gives you the freedom to discover its wildest, most remote gems. Christmas day could be spent anchored off an uninhabited island, where the only footprints are yours alone. If there was any time to escape to this Indian Ocean paradise, it’s 2020.

Antigua and Barbuda – open for Yacht Charter – guests are required to complete a PCR test within 72 hours prior to arrival.
With a sandy cove for every day of the year, there’s plenty of fun to be had for all the family in Antigua. Galley Bay’s spectacular surf will attract the thrill seekers amongst the group, Pinching Bay is perfect for bringing everyone together for a festive beach barbecue, while the views at Half Moon Bay will inspire many an Instagram update come Christmas Eve.

St Barths, St Martin and Guadeloupe – Visitors to St Barths are required to present a negative PCR test from less than 72 hours before arrival. Once they have arrived, guests are free to embark on onward travel to the islands of St Martin and Guadeloupe.
While St Barths’ island capital Gustavia is known for its flamboyant New Years Eve festivities, there’s plenty to see and do here if you fancy a quieter end to the year. Away from the crowds, the beaches here are cover-shoot class. And, with unrestricted travel between the islands, you’ll have plenty to choose from. Gouverneur beach boasts white sand and precious little else, aside from rumours of pirate treasure. Saline Plage may be the island’s second largest beach, yet there’s not a beach bar in sight. Another palm-fringed gem is the aptly named Petit Cul de Sac which, for extra exclusivity, is only accessible by boat.

St Vincent and The Grenadines – Entry to St Vincent and The Grenadines is subject to travellers presenting a negative PCR test from 72 hours before arrival.
For your own desert island adventure this Christmas, head for St Vincent and the Grenadines. Explore the island’s natural treasures, which include black sand beaches, hot springs, and breathtaking waterfalls.
The Y.CO Charter Team can advise Clients on itineraries and experiences that make the most of these southern Caribbean islands.

Bahamas – The Bahamas reopened for yacht charter on November 1st, with travellers required to present a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to arrival.
For anyone hoping to gather the whole family in one place for a more sun-drenched festive season, the Bahamas offer desert island bliss without the complicated logistics; its 700 stunning subtropical islands and 2,400 cays are within a short flight (or cruise) from Florida’s eastern coast. The Bahamas are the perfect antidote to 2020’s winter blues, with shallow seas glowing every shade of blue from topaz to aquamarine.

Many would assume that the purchasing price of a superyacht is the most costly aspect of being an owner. But the reality is that the costs of owning a superyacht stretch much further than the initial capital outlay. The costs of maintaining a superyacht can run into six or even seven figures and include everything from operational costs and crew salaries, to VAT and insurance. As most owners only use their superyachts for a selected period per year, many turn to charter as a way to help cover the costs while still having the freedom still to cruise whenever they chose.

Yacht charter and yacht charter marketing can be a tricky field to navigate, which is why it’s vital to have the correct yacht management in place to ensure everything runs smoothly. An experienced yacht management team will take the time to get to know your superyacht inside and out, understand the owner’s aims and objectives, so everyone is assured of the utmost experience when it comes to yacht chartering.

As each superyacht available for charter is unique, the T.W.W. charter yacht team conducts extensive research beforehand to provide accurate charter pricing. Through yacht charter marketing, T.W.W. can safely and securely promote each superyacht for charter to the most discerning and interested parties. By carefully matching each yacht charterer to the right yacht, everyone’s needs will be met and surpassed. The T.W.W. yacht charter team will also work closely with Captains to plan the most manageable and cost-efficient itineraries while collaborating with the crew to make sure the owner’s asset is well looked after.

Take a look at the annual running costs for a 45m yacht:

Costs associated with the vessel (insurance, maintenance, etc)                             340,000
Costs associated with the crew (salaries, travel, recruitment, insurance, etc)          520,000
Costs associated with the port (berthing, electricity, agents, etc)                           300,000
Costs associated with commercial survey and fiscal representation                         50,000
The annual total quickly becomes in excess of 1,000,000!

By working together with T.W.W., one can rest assured that their superyacht will be booked for charter as much – or as little – as they chose, thereby guaranteeing the ideal balance between the owner’s use, charters and maintenance costs.
