If you want to know how to charter a yacht in style and elegance, the vessels from Moran Yacht & Ship offer the facilities of a five-star resort or villa combined with Silver-service trained crew members completely dedicated to delivering on a bespoke yachting experience tailored to your precise desires and specifications.
If you’re looking to charter a nautical experience that you and your guests will never forget, the Madsummer – a crown jewel in the Lurssen fleet – might just be the perfect option for you.
MADSUMMER Mania
If you want the perfect luxury yacht charter you need to choose the perfect yacht. Madsummer is one of the Moran Yacht & Ship flagship vessels, and it’s the perfect choice for your bespoke maritime excursion.
The walls and ceilings are accented with pale orange that highlight the heavier blues that color the interior deck space. A stylish elevator carries guests across four floors from the main deck to the sundeck, while a marvelous staircase with white leather steps surrounded by dark mutenye wood encircles the elevator.
To port, you’ll find a true conversation starter — a designer bespoke dining table for 14, with layers of color lacquer score often circular patterns revealing colors beneath.
A tasteful cinema room overlooks the bow, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows and deep sofas that make this a perfect room for socializing day or night.
The upper deck salon includes a backlit bar and a Steinway and Sons grand piano — all whites accented by light blues to give the salon an airy feel. The upper aft-deck, meanwhile, contains an ethanol fire pit, with glass windbreakers in place to provide instant relief from the wind.
Cabin Amenities
Cabins are split between four identical doubles aft, with two twin cabins forward, each with their own unique color scheme. The double features a royal blue color scheme, accented by beige turquoise and red, while the twins enjoy deeper reds and navys.
Each cabin comes with a lacquered Sycamore wardrobe, silk carpets, custom lampshades, with stunning hand dyed mother-of-pearl surrounds on the bathroom mirrors and light Calacatta marble throughout each bathroom.
The two VIP cabins include stunning accent wood, laminated with bronze, that acts as a frame around the large windows, lending a feeling of artistic expression.
The VIP bathrooms include eye-catching Zebrino marble and bronze Armani marble, complemented by rose gold handles and taps.
The cabin walls are peppered with pictures of vintage seaplanes, adding a splash of nostalgia to the overall visual profile on display.
The Spectacular Sundeck
The sundeck aft is a massive exterior space that includes room for a Husky seaplane, and when anchored, the Husky can be lowered into the water, transforming the deck into a massive dance floor and party area.
To further highlight the party feel, a backlit ICE-glass bar dominates the design further back, while furthest forward on the deck is an observation nook with sun pads and a Jacuzzi under the mast.
The main deck features a 9-meter pool and Jacuzzi where the deck curls up to the sides of the pool, further demonstrating the superyacht’s sleek exterior lines. Forward on the main deck are two large formal dining tables as well as round sofas along with a custom-made bar.
The yacht can accommodate 29 crew members, personal chef teams, spa professionals and dive masters to ensure guests are able to enjoy every aspect of this exciting yacht. The foredeck is certified for helicopter operations and bunkering, as well, and a helicopter can also be stowed on the aft sundeck with ease.
Amazing Accommodations
Wherever you travel, the open water provides ample opportunities for aquatic sports and activities, and the Madsummer comes equipped with numerous toys – including snorkeling, scuba diving, paddleboarding, and kayaking equipment.
There are two tender garages, one forward and one aft. These house an 11-meter Maori Yacht limo tender, a Ski Nautique, a 10-meter rib and a rescue tender. There are also five PWCs, a range of skis and boards and a large selection of dive equipment. Yachters can explore underwater ecosystems, swim with marine life, and enjoy the thrill of various water-based sports.
Hitting the Caribbean
With such an incredible array of water toys designed for days spent exploring the ocean, Madsummer is a ship perfectly designed for anchorage in the Caribbean.
A Caribbean yacht charter allows voyagers to discover island after island of natural wonders, including lush rainforests, waterfalls, and volcanic landscapes. National parks and nature reserves on islands like Dominica and Saint Lucia offer hiking trails and breathtaking scenery for those who want to hop off the yacht for the day.
Comprising islands like Bequia, Mustique, and Tobago Cays, the Grenadines — to give just one example of a chic Caribbean locale — offer a more remote and authentic yachting experience. The Tobago Cays Marine Park is a highlight, known for its pristine coral reefs and turquoise waters.
The Caribbean is also home to upscale marinas equipped with modern facilities and amenities, perfect for docking the Madsummer in style. Marinas like Yacht Haven Grande in St. Thomas and Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in the British Virgin Islands cater to the needs of all Caribbean yacht rentals – providing a comfortable and stylish environment for yachters and guests.
In fact, the Caribbean hosts various sailing events and regattas throughout the year, attracting yachting enthusiasts from around the world. Notable events include the Antigua Sailing Week, St. Barth’s Bucket Regatta, and the Heineken Regatta in St. Maarten.
