SHERAKHAN is the most extraordinary Dutch owned charter yacht! She is 228 feet long (70 Metres) and offers 13 cabins so she can carry a much larger party than most charter yachts.
Do not be fooled by her sober exterior When you first enter, the main dining area is a vast open room surrounded by an oval balcony, and the overall volume feels immense. The table is also laid lengthways, and together with the elaborate and slightly funky décor, it calls to mind a fairytale or the mad-hatter’s banquet! She is wildly eclectic, a bizarre and fabulous mixture of 1970s kitsch, solid Dutch pragmatism, dark woods and heavy drapes, mixed with silvery balls of glass hanging from on high.
The master is vast with his and hers bathrooms with quaint Victoriana bath tubs and a separate shower room. To add to the experience, the entire length of the deck on every level is convex, as it was built, so you feel you’ve entered the Golden age and ended up in Wonderland! It is a most fantastic and unusual place, perfect for a party or a charter with more adventurous guests who would appreciate her bohemian nature!
Other strong points include a large lower level spa, with mosaic floors, with fluorescent lighting emanating from the bath tub and basins, and a mosaic mermaid on the rear wall. Another key point is that she can sleep up to 26 guests, making her ideal for special family occasions and corporate charters.
LEO FUN is a 2009 6 cabin Proteskan Turquiose launched 2009 and a big hit at the Monaco Yacht Show this year. LEO FUN is a luxurious 43 Meter Motor Yacht that has been styled and designed by Paolo Caliari. Jean Guy Verges designed the sophisticated and luxurious interior.
She feels utterly luxurious; every corner is beautifully rounded, every cabinet and fixture making reference to the main theme of geometric patterning in the carpentry and wall coverings. She has a distinctly Italian feel, with sublime style and attention to every aesthetic detail. She is spacious and uncluttered, and is a fabulous addition to the charter market.

We spent 3 days climbing all over gorgeous yachts at the Monaco Yacht Show (someone’s got to do it!) and talking to experts in the yachting business, and will try to distill all of this into a few posts. Here are some of our topline conclusions:
area, complete with tables, bars, parasols and mini kitchens (see image). These have a pool house feel to them, and add a nice “hang out” environment that gets you closer to the water. And of course nearly all yachts now have hot tubs and internet built in.
