HEEUS | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

HEEUS is the kind of yacht where the French Riviera feels closer, calmer, and more personal, thanks to an energetic crew of 9 led by Captain Russ Strang. Russ brings 15 years of yachting experience and the credentials to match, including a Master 3000t license held for over five years, making safety and smooth operations feel like part of the yacht’s personality. Alongside him, Captain Ross Byrom adds his own depth, with 14 years in the industry and extensive time cruising the Mediterranean, creating a leadership pairing that keeps the days relaxed and the standards consistently high.

The deck team keeps everything flowing with a professional rhythm you can feel, especially when the sea becomes your playground. Bosun Arno Laubscher is deeply at home in Mediterranean cruising grounds and brings strong waterside skills that add energy to your Riviera days, while Bosun Lewis Roberts contributes a lifeguard mindset and jet ski instructor capability that supports safe, well-managed time on the water. Deckhand Joshua Ford completes the exterior crew with a guest-first approach, attentive and engaged while keeping comfort and safety at the forefront of mind. In the engine room, Chief Engineer Igor Tauzhnyanskyy and Engineer Darryl O’Brien focus on reliability, preventative care, and operational efficiency, so the yacht remains steady, secure, and quietly powerful throughout your French Riviera charter.

Chef Iona Newman elevates the onboard experience with refined, guest-focused cuisine inspired by Mediterranean flavors and her professional training at the Ashburton Cookery School in the UK. Expect menus that feel fresh and tailored, with thoughtful pacing that suits slow mornings, sunlit afternoons, and elegant Riviera evenings. Inside, Chief Steward/ess Marli Haasbroek sets a warm and polished tone with strong leadership, supported by Stewardess Natalie Thake, Stewardess Heath Krynauw, and Stewardess Alexander (Alex) Rohde, making every day feel easy, cared for, and beautifully coordinated.

7-Day Sample Motor Yacht Charter Itinerary in the French Riviera:
Trade the familiar for seven days where the Côte d’Azur becomes your horizon, beginning aboard the Bering 145 luxury crewed motor yacht HEEUS as you depart from Monaco on a 7-day French Riviera yachting itinerary. Follow iconic stretches of coastline framed by superyachts and sun-washed villas, then slip into peaceful, clear-water bays for a swim when the moment feels right. Step ashore for glamorous towns where art, shopping, and nightlife all pull you in different directions. Whether you want water sports, slow days in the sun, or gourmet tastings at Michelin-starred restaurants, the dedicated Boatbookings team and your crew will shape each day around your preferences, keeping the experience smooth, relaxed, and perfectly paced.

In the summer season, beyond the French Riviera, HEEUS is also available for charters along the Amalfi Coast. When winter arrives, she shifts to the Caribbean Leewards, with charters cruising from St Barths.

Overview:
HEEUS doesn’t just take you along the French Riviera, she sets you up to enjoy it with comfort, space, and a modern feel that makes every moment smoother. This Bering 145 luxury crewed motor yacht showcases a cutting-edge exterior designed for stable cruising, so the sea feels calm and the days feel easy. Her world-class amenities are thoughtfully curated for guests who want a mix of social time and personal downtime, giving you the freedom to shape the charter around your own rhythm.

Breakfast becomes a small celebration of the day ahead in the foredeck lounge, served in warm morning light with sweeping views of endless blue water. Later, head up to the expansive sundeck and watch the coastal charm of Cannes appear in full Riviera style, lively marinas, elegant waterfronts, and a constant sparkle of activity. Settle into the plush lounging and dining area with your loved ones, share a fine bottle of Bordeaux, sink into the jacuzzi, or stretch out on the sun beds and let the harbor scene roll by. With several sunbathing spots throughout the yacht, you can keep changing your view, your vibe, and your level of privacy.

As the day deepens, your crew prepares a delectable alfresco dining experience on the sky deck aft, turning lunch or dinner into a full outdoor occasion. Indulge in local gourmet dishes while anchored near the colorful canals of Port Grimaud, where the scenery feels cheerful, and the atmosphere naturally invites a longer stay at the table. It’s the kind of dining moment where the breeze, the view, and the food all work together.

When you want a reset, head to the beach club where the sauna offers a soothing pause right at the water’s edge. Then step down into the crystal-clear Riviera sea for a refreshing swim alongside vibrant marine life, returning onboard with that energized, post-swim glow. With the yacht’s layout so close to the water, it’s easy to repeat the cycle as often as you like.

HEEUS's interior balances modern elegance and contemporary design with warm teak finishes, creating a refined ambiance that still feels welcoming after a day in the sun. Large glass windows fill the saloon, formal dining space, and galley with natural light, keeping everything bright and airy. At night, retreat to one of her sumptuous cabins, each with a private ensuite, and let the quiet settle in. The master cabin, complete with a king bed, lounge area, and a capacious marble en-suite, becomes your personal sanctuary, a calm ending that makes tomorrow feel exciting.

The use of all personal watercraft, including jet skis, is permitted only if the operator holds the appropriate license and complies with local operating regulations.
