How Much Is it to Charter the Eros Yacht from Below Deck?

Posted by Claudine Williams | Aug 15, 2015 | Below Deck , Cruise , Reality TV | 11 |

On Season 3 of Below Deck , the crew catered to guests on board the Eros , a 161-foot luxury yacht, which will take the cast and some well-heeled guess Bahamas. The Eros has high-end pleasures like an on-deck jacuzzi and a gym. Like previous years, Below Deck representatives changed the name of the actual yacht for the show.

Below Deck’s Eros is actually called Mustang Sally.The ship also offers guests water toys like a wave runner, water skis, snorkeling equipment, and scuba diving equipment.

Great crew, Outstanding yacht.

Though I’ve thought all the Yachts were nice, I’d have to say the EROS is probably a favorite. The layout is so much different than the others.

I was thinking how amazingly fun it would be to work on this yacht….then I thought HELL NO!!! I want to be a pampered guest on that boat, surrounded by an amazing and super fun crew!!! It would be a once in a lifetime trip!!!! I would love my whole family (which is very small) to join me for pure rest & relaxation and tons of fun; with no worries at all… But DAAA’UUUMMM……it is so dang freaking expensive to rent this yacht for a week. I am not that wealthy, so it’s unlikely I’ll ever be able to afford an type of vacation on this gorgeous be z

Us poor peeps can only hope to win the give away Cruz on that boat for the week…

One day I will be able to take a trip on this yacht or spend a week on this yaht, when that day comes I’ll know I won the lotto…lol

I don’t get it. What’ s so special about a yacht? $200,000 and for what?

WoW!! I only wish that I were related to the Real House Wife celeb, Ms. Bailey. What a blessing to grab a few best friends and even just enjoy a weekend at sea…….now that would make me very happy. I will be looking for that “Eros Cruise Contest” as well.

I thought it would fun to get 10 friends and split the cost until I checked into the prices. Wow, I can pay my house off for the amount of money they are asking. I watch the show and I have not been impressed with the food the chef serves, the entertainment, an employee dressing up as a mermaid?? and some water toys. Add another 10000.00 or more for the tip at the end of the week. Maybe when I hit the lotto!

The actual Below Deck yacht is available to charter in Miami area for anyone that has the money.

I would NEVER charter the Eros after seeing the show ‘Below Deck’ & seeing how the crew mock the quests publicly on camera! How rude & unprofessional!

Great Share,

We are planning for sailing vacation after our wedding, I think we will prefer hiring such services which will take care of me and my family.

Hope we are able to go for this vacation. 🙂 ;p

BELOW DECK SERIES YACHTS: Season 3 luxury yacht STAY SALTY a.k.a. ‘EROS’

Written by Rachael Steele

The third season of hit reality TV series Below Deck went from strength to strength boasting the best ratings yet over 15 episodes with 49m/161ft ‘EROS’, real name luxury yacht STAY SALTY .

STAY SALTY superyacht – star of the season three of the Below Deck series

Built by US shipyard Trinity Yachts in 2008, the Owners of M/Y STAY SALTY  (ex Hunter, Mustang Sally, Destination Fox Harb’r Too)  made sure she was also looking her best and received a refit just before filming began in August 2015. The gorgeous interiors combine past and present trends, and the facilities are just as comprehensive, catering to a wide variety of guests.

And the Jacuzzi on the sun deck is the hot spot of the yacht

The Interiors

The interiors from Patrick Knowles were inspired by European spa resorts and are designed to appeal for a variety of charter purposes. As such, they offer laid back elegance that merges traditional and contemporary appeal by using Lacewood, Redwood burl and Honduran mahogany accented with satin nickel. A sharp eye will notice all the neo-classical touches throughout, from the mirror surrounds to the balustrades and the lighting fixtures.

When it comes to entertainment both the main salon and skylounge can host a fantastic soiree: There is a wet bar on both decks and the main salon has a 42″ widescreen TV with surround sound, while the skylounge has a 62″ widescreen TV along with a game table and a library. Of course, the main salon also comes with the 12-seater formal dining area.

Elegant dining area and saloon

A pair of engines gives a faster-than-average cruising speed of 16 knots and a top speed of 20 knots, letting guests make excellent time between destinations for a yacht of this size and volume.

The Exteriors

The raked bow and champagne-coloured hull give superyacht hunter a sleek modern look that will impress from afar and when additional visitors come on board for dockside events. Cocktails can be ready and waiting on the large swim platform, which is perfect for lazy days beside the turquoise waters of the Caribbean & Bahamas luxury yacht charter grounds.

Spacious aft deck are ideal for entertainment and socialising

The main deck aft is a casual outdoor environment where the group can discuss their morning around the coffee table while the professional crew creates refreshments at the indoor/outdoor wet bar.

When it comes to dining alfresco, the upper deck aft has a close atmosphere between guests thanks to the round table design, and strong lighting ensures that the area can be used even after sundown – ideal for meals at sunset followed by fireworks, or a film or sports on the widescreen TV. The group can savour a top-quality meal prepared by the expert onboard chef, who will cater to all the dietary requirements within the group. Couples looking for a bit more privacy can head forward to the loveseat on the Portuguese deck, where there’s also a table for meals together or a nightcap.

Once charter guests have explored their beautiful destination, most head to the sundeck for a dip into the forward Jacuzzi or rest on the sunpads until a lunch prepared on the barbeque grill is served in the shade. Just like the main deck and upper deck, the sundeck has a wet bar for fast and efficient service. 

The Accommodation

The generous accommodation is a tranquil sanctum that accommodates up to 12 guests across 5 en-suite cabins: 1 Master suite, 3 VIP staterooms and 1 twin cabin with a Pullman berth ideal for children.

Upon entering the main deck Master suite there is a queen-sized sleeper sofa and en-suite bathroom enclosed in its own space. This can be used as an alternative cabin to the selection on the lower deck, or as a private lounge. The main Master bedroom farther forward boasts a king-sized bed with a widescreen TV opposite, plus plenty of seating and wardrobe space for guests who have a packed social calendar and a different gown or suit for each occasion. The en-suites have a ‘get-up-and-go’ setup in the one bathroom with a sink, toilet and shower, while the second bathroom invites guests to a long soak in the spa bathtub, as well as offering all the amenities of the first.

Retreat to a private suite after a relaxing day on board.

Guests in the VIP staterooms and the twin cabin have not been neglected either: Each cabin has a top-quality mattress and bedding, plus TV entertainment to wind down before a comfortable night’s rest.

The Water Toys

Wherever M/YSTAY SALTY travels, she takes with her a great collection of water toys from high speed to low energy to suit guests’ preferences of the moment:

• Waverunners
• water skis 
• snorkelling equipment 
• towable toys are just some of the toys found onboard…

Endless fun guaranteed by the great selection of water toys enjoyable from the large swim platform aft

Rendezvous diving is available to guests, and while cruising between destinations there is a rowing machine and exercise bike for guests who can’t wait to get out and move about.

'Below Deck's New Yacht Eros Will Shake Things Up

Oh how I love Below Deck , the annual reminder that not even people who work on a yacht are capable of getting work done on a yacht. Every season, the cast of stews and deckhands find a new summer home, from the Honor to the Ohana, and now, Eros. The Season 3 Below Deck yacht Eros is different from Ohana , but those differences are just going to make this season the reality series' best yet. I know — that seems impossible. But I predict that even though two of its most enjoyable cast members are gone (Ben and Kat), Below Deck Season 3 has the potential to soar. A lot of my confidence in this stems from Eros, which is the best boat yet. Well, that and the fact that the best cast member hands-down, Captain Lee, is still roped in for another year.

From what we know so far, chartering the Eros must be one hell of an experience. Reading the breakdowns for these super yachts every year makes me understand why Kate says that she's trolling for a husband on every single journey — anyone who can take a trip on the Eros is living a life anyone would want to share. Here are a few things you should know about the yacht that will serve as the latest beautiful Below Deck setting.

1. It's Named For Love

Eros is the Roman god of love, which comes at a direct contrast to last year's Ohana, which means "family" in Hawaiian (thanks, Lilo and Stitch ). And that's not necessarily a coincidence, either, since according to a breakdown on YachtCharterFleet, all three of the yachts on Below Deck have swapped names either before or after Bravo took it on their mega-charter. So even though last season had one romance, get ready for a whole season of love.

2. Eddie Will Be A More Experienced Boss

Even though Captain Lee is the charismatic one, Eddie the bosun is the most likable member of the cast. And with the Eros' tons of deck space, he'll need that experience, because at least one member of the deck crew always winds up quitting or being incapacitated for part of the journey.

3. It's The Priciest One Yet

Ever fantasized about taking the Eros out for charter? Well, unless you have somewhere close to $200,000, that's not gonna happen. According to YachtCharterFleet's rental page, it's going to cost at least 175,000 eruos to take a week-long summer charter.

4. The Jacuzzi Can Fit 8 People

Hey, have you ever been on a yacht with seven guests and been super bummed because you couldn't all fit into the jacuzzi? No? Well, me neither, but I'm sure the crew on Below Deck have, so that's one less thing that will be frustrating Kate or making Amy shake her head in disbelief. YachtCharterFleet even has a photo of the eight-person hot tub, and I don't care how hot it is where you are — it'll make you want to take a dip.

5. It Has A Proud Canadian History

According to YachtCharterFleet, the Eros was originally made for the owner of Tim Horton's , Ron Joyce. The Ohana could boast no such heritage.

6. It's Had Some Fabulous Names

"Eros" works perfectly for the purposes of Below Deck Season 3, but the yacht's real name is Mustang Sally. If I could afford to rent a yacht, I'd want the one called Mustang Sally. And the yacht's original name was "The Destination Fox Harb'r Too," which I don't really understand, but is also an enjoyably strange name.

7. It Was Just Refurbished

Both the Ohana and the Honor from Season 1 were sold right after their seasons of Below Deck aired. But Eros was sold just before filming for $17.9 million and totally refinished inside. So that means all of the updates you could imagine have already been added, like A/C, a barbecue, and Wi-Fi — because the biggest luxury of all is the luxury of pretending to be in your own backyard while actually on the open seas.

8. It's Even More Likely To Drive The Cast Insane

The Eros is incredibly fancy, prohibitively expensive even by yacht standards, and was given a facelift just before filming Season 3 of Below Deck ? Those charter guests are going to drive the crew absolutely nuts over the course of the season, and the more they do, the more fun Below Deck will be to watch. Eros is an upgrade in every way.

Luxury Sailing Yacht EROS charter brief: EROS (35.1m / 115’) is a custom made, luxury sailing yacht launched by English Shipyard Brooks Motor Yacht back in 1939 and as a luxury staysail schooner. Designed by nautical architect William McMeek, she is built out of composite with Burma teak over steel frames.    She carries her 185 tonnage with 9000 sq.ft of sails set up on new, 2009 installed stainless standing rigging with 22 hydraulically assisted winches and when under power at cruising speed of 9kn, has a range of 3,200nm. With stunningly restored interior, state-of-the-art technology on board, great crew and a generous array of water toys on board, EROS is a luxury crewed yacht charter boat like no other. All distinguished yacht charter clients who are looking for a formal, yet fun, relaxing and adventurous, fully customised private sailing vacation within the Mediterranean in summer and the East Caribbean in winter should give this yacht their full attention. Always kept in best condition, EROS is your first choice for de-luxe private yacht charter holidays and family vacations on board of a classic sailing yacht during 2015 and onwards. Super Sail Yacht EROS offers accommodation for 8+1 yacht charter guests in 4 en-suite cabins, with bespoke itineraries usually covering all parts of the East Caribbean including Grenadines, Windward Islands, Leeward archipelago as well as British and US Virgin Islands. Tip:   Luxury sailing yacht EROS is a beautifully restored classic schooner whose captain is one of the most experienced sailors who crossed the Atlantic 15 times and circumnavigated the globe under sail while entertaining royalty and government officials.

About Luxury Classic Sailing Yacht EROS: Luxury Crewed charter yacht EROS is one of the most luxurious classic schooner sailing yachts in the world at this moment in time.   Available for fully customised private yacht charter cruises in the East Caribbean and NEW England, she was designed for an English Lord’s daughter. Apart from genuine classic cruising offer, this fabulous super sail yacht promises luxury performance sailing as well. With her luxurious accommodations and fantastic Captain and super yacht crew, EROS is a standout among any yachts currently available for luxury crewed and private super yacht charters worldwide! Luxury sailing yacht EROS has a unique history. She was built as a schooner, a genuine classic beauty in England back in 1939. The order came from top of the establishment for the daughter and son-in-law of a British Lord. Soon after her launch, EROS was very soon commandeered by the Royal Navy to participate in the famous evacuation at Dunkirk as part of WW2 efforts. In late 1940’s she was purchased by the first man internationally known as a billionaire, Stavros Niarchos, who made her his own private floating palace and helping her become a well-known super sail yacht in the Mediterranean yachting community. Her present owners acquired her in 1992 with the latest, museum quality restoration, with no expenses spared completed only recently! During the restoration, the original hull and deck plans were removed allowing reparation or as appropriate replacement of parts of the steel structure. A total of 20,000 bronze bolts were replaced, or renewed, all used to fasten the planks to the steel. Furthermore, the piping, pumps, winches, spars, wiring, electronics and all systems on the yacht were also either replaced or where possible completely overhauled. And while her exterior makes her what she is, the interior is where the genuine connoisseurs of sailing will be at home. The original Art-Deco grandeur of a bygone era is visible throughout with varnished teak joinery, brass fittings and rich, elegant fabrics providing a homely, yet historical atmosphere. The classic nautical theme with suitable artwork plus sofas with specially chosen burgundy velvet hue compliment a first class, classic décor par excellence.

While she has been fitted with all the latest navigation, galley and engine room equipment, she is otherwise restored as she was built. With her original varnished teak joiner work and fittings she is a step back in time evoking the romance and beauty of the Art Deco era from whence she came. Accommodation: Luxury Sailing Yacht EROS can accommodate up to 8+1 guests in 4 luxuriously appointed en-suite cabins. The guests will have a total of 3 double and 1 twin cabins at their disposal, with the twin and one double also featuring additional 2 Pullman berths. The master suite is starboard and has a Queen size bed, en-suite and shower/Jacuzzi tub. Port forward cabin has a double bed, while port aft cabin has Twin upper and lower beds. One final cabin located starboard aft has a matrimonial lower bed and a twin upper bed. This set up is very flexible and enables all parties seeking a classic yacht charter with state-of-the-art facilities required for a genuine luxury crewed yacht charter experience and adventure filled, fully customized sailing vacation in the East Caribbean and most recently in NEW England. All cabins are en-suite and with their own individual air con and audio-video entertainment systems.

Super Yacht crew on board of Classic sailing yacht EROS: A graduate at the University of California Medical Centre, Dr Bill Bodle, or captain Bill as he is known by the crew of EROS, is a highly experienced sailor who circumnavigated the world under sail, visited more than 50 countries on the way across all of the Pacific, Atlantic and the Caribbean and entertained heads of state and royalty. He is one of the most experienced sailors in the charter fleets worldwide and an award winning mariner, his work was featured in a number of high profile magazines thanks to his considerable reputation as a builder and restoration man of classic schooner yachts. Amongst other achievements, he is credited with stunning restorations of super sail yachts such as NORDLYS, GRACE, PANDA and now EROS. Bill gladly shares his experiences with all yacht charter guests during regular cocktail hours and aims to form lasting relationships with all who charter one of the museum quality yachts he captains. The remaining crew on board include hard working engineer Wilson Willkom who moved to California from Philippines in 1999 before joining SY EROS and Hawaiian born Chef Joe Lovitt who previously worked as a chef to Food and Wine bar Vino Volo CEO and who is able to prepare unforgettable gourmet meals for you and your guests, taking any dietary requirements into consideration and preparing meals with only freshly sourced out food or caught fish. On top, there is also chief stewardess Susan Taylor whose parents chartered a yacht when she was a child and on which she later decided to work and the deckhand/bosun Ramon Linderman from Puerto Rico who recently joined the team in St Thomas. All have great sailing experiences behind them with a 5,000nm journey from San Francisco through the Panama channel and onto British Virgin Islands. Occasionally, the captains’ wife Grace also joins as additional or replacement crew. She has sailed across all the world’s oceans and is a 500 ton Master and 200 ton Master of Sail captain of the US Coastguard.

Step ashore after your EROS adventure a member of an exclusive group of discerning sailors who’ve experienced yachting at its best. You’ll never consider sailing any other way.

Sailing a large classic like Eros is pure joy for veteran and novice sailors alike. Under a warm, tropical breeze, she heels gently and accelerates to ten knots or more, easily keeping pace with lighter and newer yachts. Guests can hoist sails, grind winches, take the wheel, or sit back and watch the crew at their positions; all once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Experienced sailors are welcome to charter Eros for one of the several classic yacht regattas she participates in during the year.

Eros is even more captivating today than she was at her launch in 1939. Recommissioned as a luxury charter yacht in 2010 after a monumental renovation, she now tips her hat to her illustrious past while exceeding the comfort and enjoyment of the most discriminating guests, turning heads wherever she goes.

It’s the ideal place to catch up on some reading, check your emails, enjoy intimate conversation, or steal an afternoon nap. Some guests have even been known to sleep in the deckhouse.

Dining Saloon

The original teak paneled dining saloon hearkens back to the nights when colorful personages from Greek tycoons to the King and Queen of Spain dined at this very table.

Living Saloon

Opposite the dining saloon, the living saloon features a large comfy u-shaped couch with a 50” flat screen TV. The couch doubles as two extra berths for large groups.

This is the ideal space for cocktail hour, or just kicking back and taking in a movie.

Even though Eros is beautiful, and you will visit wonderful places, your charter would not meet your expectations without a truly wonderful crew. The five crew members below are a cohesive team that loves working together, and enjoys time off together too. Our guests regularly rave about them, and you will too. They include our captain, chef, first mate, chief stew, and deckhand/stew. All crewmembers are licensed full-time professionals, certified by the U.S. Coast Guard. Their love for sailing is matched by their steadfast commitment to your safety and comfort. All are vaccinated.

Colin Horton, Captain

His experience includes multiple Caribbean and Mediterranean sailing seasons, three transatlantic voyages and many super yacht regattas. Colin holds his 200-ton Near Coastal USCG Captain’s license. In his off time Colin owns and maintains his own sailboat and enjoys cruising around the greater New England area.

Esteban Mogollon , First Mate

Esteban's passion for sailing began in south Florida, where he would race his older sister in a couple lasers across Biscayne Bay. He became enchanted with classic sailboats after working on a few schooners in Newport, RI and Connecticut. Currently holding a 100-Ton Near Coastal USCG Captain's license, he aspires to upgrade to a 200-Ton license. Beyond the sea, Esteban finds joy in woodworking, surfing, and watching fútbol.

Heather Stout, Chef

Heather grew up in the southwest desert of Utah and migrated to the eastern coast over a decade ago, where she ended up in Maine and fell in love with classic wooden schooners, the rugged Atlantic shoreline, and the hearty New England agriculture. With over twenty years of experience in restaurants and farming, Heather knows the importance of promoting local food culture by finding and learning the expertise of farmers, ingredients, and practices from the different regions we visit. She places an emphasis on healthy and vibrant meals, and brings a clear message of sustainability and nourishment to her cuisine. 

Tami Stawicki, Chief Stewardess

For Tami grew up on the coast of Connecticut before moving to New York to work as an actuary. After five years, she wanted to focus on traveling and made the switch to work as a host on yachts in Croatia.

Brieanne Buckey, Chief Stewardess/Deck

Bri grew up on Jamestown Island across the bridge from Newport, RI, where she naturally fell in love with the ocean, and boats. After a stint in the Hawaiian islands, she moved to the Virgin Islands to be close to her first love, warm ocean waters. Drawn to the yachts in the harbor she took a job on a charter boat and has not looked back. Unlike most charter crew Bri threw in a couple of interesting side gigs, commercial salmon fishing in Alaska, and earning her Coast Guard captain’s license for up to six passengers. Look out, Captain Justin. She has rounded out her guest service experience with several years working in restaurants and hotels and truly loves to make sure Eros’s charter guests’ expectations are exceeded every minute they are on board.

History: The Story of Eros

1945 - 1970: A billionaire's pride on the mediterranean

Following the war, Greek billionaire shipping tycoon, Stavros Niarchos, purchased Jeanry as his private yacht, and renamed her Eros in honor of the Greek goddess of love and passion. An avid sailor, Niarchos was profiled on the cover of Sports Illustrated in August 1959. Henceforward, Eros became a well-known fixture within the prestigious Mediterranean yachting world. If walls could talk, Eros would undoubtedly have countless captivating tales to tell from these years.

1962: A royal Honeymoon

In May of 1962, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain spent some of their honeymoon aboard Eros. Niarchos had gifted the use of Eros along with his private Greek island, Spetsopoula, to the royal newlyweds. This illustrious occasion is detailed in A Life Under Surveillance, a literary account of Spain’s transformation from dictatorship to democracy under King Juan Carlos.

1990 - 2010: monumental restoration ushers Eros into the 21st century

Over the course of nearly 50 years, Eros changed ownership only three times before anchoring with her current owners. She has recently completed a massive 18-year museum-quality restoration to adapt and upgrade this historical schooner to the standards of first class travel. No expense was spared in recreating her original grandeur, with particular attention paid to replicating her classic detail and finish work. While her internal structure, including steel framework and rigging, is either brand new or totally renovated, she proudly retains many original details, from her authentic turnbuckles and Admiralty bronze fittings to the bell from her 1939 naming ceremony mounted at the aft end of the bowsprit. Most notably, each Burmese teak plank of her hull is original to 1939, having been reinstalled following rigorous inspection. 

Eros is now outfitted with the latest navigation, galley and engine room equipment. A Cordon Bleu chef-designed galley boasts all modern appliances. Air conditioned interiors, washer/dryer, and premium entertainment systems complete her modernization. 

In preparation for the 2016-17 charter season, Eros has undergone a complete interior redecoration, seamlessly marrying the style and comfort of sophisticated luxury travel with the thrill of sailing aboard this historical masterpiece. 

Eros is all at once a step back in time, and distinctly modern innovative touring vessel. It is with great honor that her new owners commit her to charter service, devoted to maintaining her beauty and performance in a way that would make her original owners and builders proud.
