Inside the 38m Azimut Grande Trideck flagship

Azimut’s new flagship pushes the builder into the domain of superyachts with style and grace

Frisson is the scientific term for a psychophysiological response to an aesthetic stimulus, otherwise known as “chills”. For some, it happens when listening to Andrea Bocelli leave a part of his soul in a verse of Con Te Partiró . For designer Alberto Mancini , that frisson came unexpectedly, as it does, while he sat in the beach club of the Azimut Grande Trideck in Monaco harbour.

“I was invited on board by one of the owners,” the Italian yacht designer says, “and I was looking around at other similar-sized yachts and they were 20 or 30 years behind the Azimut with their design. Honestly, it gave me chills.”

The latest boat to derive from the builder’s constant innovation is the 38-metre flagship of Azimut’s Grande line, and the brand’s first tri-deck yacht. It’s a superyacht, yes, but still a fast boat as Azimuts are meant to be. Naval architect Pierluigi Ausonio designed the yacht’s D2P (displacement-to-planing) hull. The bottom has three major features that make it special: a double chine that increases stability at slow speeds and reduces drag at higher ones; a wavepiercer bow that extends the length at waterline to increase fuel efficiency and minimise pitch; and a central skeg for course integrity, particularly in aft quartering seas. Even with the skeg, the Azimut Trideck draws just over two metres, making her able to navigate all but the skinniest waters.

With the hammer down, this Azimut can get up and go to the tune of 24 knots, more than fast enough to outrun any unexpected foul weather. It can hit these speeds thanks to two 2,600hp straight-shaft MTUs. The much-sought-after wind-in-your-hair feeling that these speeds engender can be enjoyed on multiple exterior decks. The crux of the Trideck’s design and appeal is in these areas, so much so that Azimut describes the yacht as “three decks plus one”.

“We worked with Alberto Mancini to make an additional deck on the aft end of the main deck,” explains Marco Valle, CEO of the Azimut Benetti Group , which creates a cascading effect from the sundeck down to the beach club. This yacht has more spaces from which to enjoy the sea, he says, from the more traditional foredeck, sundeck, upper deck and the beach club, to a split-level main deck aft.

Mancini, who applied similar thinking to his previous collaborations with Azimut, says the cascading exterior was the product of a deliberate goal to come up with a distinctive characteristic. “We created a proper raised aft deck. We call it a ‘sea view aft terrace’, and it’s a lovely place to enjoy the water and the breeze with your guests, and it complements that beach club so well.”

This “terrace” has about 30 square metres of space, outfitted with a sweeping, U-shaped sofa that should be a hotspot whether underway or standing still. It leaves plenty of room below for a full-height beach club.

Azimut also wanted the beach club to be as closely connected to the marine environment as possible. “The biggest problem with a beach club is that the deck is closed off on all sides, and the owners are stuck in the shadows,” says Mancini. “No one wants that. We created openings on either side of the boat, so you never feel oppressed like you’re in a cave. Instead, you  can feel the wind and the water on your skin. We think it’s a great achievement. It’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before on a yacht this size.”

The owner of the first Azimut Trideck, a repeat client who splits his onboard time between South Florida and the Med, buttresses Mancini’s take. “The beach club is well furnished and open to the sea air,” he says. “You don’t feel like you’re in something enclosed. It’s just an open look and feel and it’s almost flush with the water. So my wife can lie on the bed and watch everyone in the water. It’s like having another saloon, except it’s open to the environment. We love it.”

The foredeck lounge also makes for an excellent place to relax on massive sunpads and in the spa pool. Another space on the aft section of the upper deck offers impressive views and serves as the setting for al fresco meals, thanks to a dining table that can easily sit eight guests.  A “skydeck” with chaises longues sits above all, bringing sun worshippers closer to their god.

Of course, with all these outdoor spaces, it would have been easy for the yacht’s lines to become somewhat askew and top-heavy. But Azimut and Mancini understand that with any beautiful thing, proportion is key. They took great pains to ensure that the vessel’s aesthetic elements work in harmony.

For his part in this endeavour, Mancini points to his automotive design pedigree. “When one works with automobiles, the main goal is always to get the proportion right, and so that is always my goal with the yachts as well,” he says. “I’m inspired by sports cars and that industry. Even a car that’s only maybe five metres long directly informs what I will do with a yacht like this one, that is 38 metres.”

The Azimut Trideck has an undeniable je ne sais quois to its outward appearance. Perhaps it’s the way the upper deck parallels the relatively straight sheer line, or the proportion of the bow to the superstructure, which seems to mimic the mix of gravitas and extravagance seen in a Bentley or Rolls-Royce.

Mancini points out that not a drop of seaworthiness was sacrificed for aesthetics.  “I have a good partnership with Azimut’s technical department,” he says. “We have daily emails and meetings on the construction and design process. They let me draw what I want to start. You can call this part ‘the romantic step’. I sketch what I feel and they don’t tell me ‘Oh you can’t do this, you can’t do that.’ They allow me to brainstorm, and then the design team works with my vision step by step to approach the technical and practical things and make sure that everything works perfectly.”

A technical decision that paid dividends for Azimut was to use as much carbon fibre as possible, particularly in the superstructure, which is entirely laminated in the material.  A driving factor of the yacht’s design was to keep her as light as possible without sacrificing structural integrity, and the carbon fibre helped achieve that. She tips the scales at a relatively feathery 190 tonnes at full displacement. And the decision to use carbon fibre paid off in spades in her interior volume, another key area of the Trideck’s development. There’s so much space that Azimut offers an option for a sixth guest cabin on the upper deck. Valle says that five of  the six hulls the company has sold have  taken advantage of the six-cabin layout, which is the only major layout customisation available.

The yacht’s interior designer, Achille Salvagni , who pens the interiors for all the models in the Grande series, entered the project with a simple yet ambitious concept in his mind. “The true disruptive force behind this project is its desire to define an alternative use for the settings, by opening them up, and in doing so, presenting new ways to experience the boat,” he says. “When the function of a given space is not strictly defined, it becomes more fluid and changeable, shaped around the need for conviviality and socialisation.” In other words, an open mind leads to open space.

This fluidity shows in the absence of a formal dining area on the main deck. Instead, meals can be hosted at tables on the upper deck, sundeck or the al fresco section of the main deck. This choice opens up the saloon for more casual entertaining and makes it a voluminous party space as well. The goal is to embody a loose and flexible atmosphere.

The interior lines – perhaps best exemplified by the furniture that eschews corners – were designed by Salvagni to be “smooth and sinuous”. Light creams and greys play gently off one another on the fabrics by the Milanese brand Dedar, the veneers, and in the marbles and other stones found throughout.

Salvagni’s work has Azimut’s clients abuzz.  “If you look at the ceiling, the floor, everywhere, there is a lot of Italian style, which I like,” the owner says. “The fit and finish has a real megayacht feel to it. And the quality as well. It starts in the railings, and it goes into the hallways and the interior spaces. And another, slightly different aspect I love about it is the isolation you can feel in the boat. They did a wonderful job with the sound insulation. For me, it’s important that when you walk in one section of the boat, you can’t hear it in another section. And this Azimut is almost totally silent inside. It’s amazing.”

The lush and thoughtful interior combines with a heavy emphasis on outdoor living to create a yacht that can do it all. As the owner puts it, “When I’m in the Med, I like to go to Monaco and the fancier places and go out to the parties and restaurants, and the [Trideck’s] lines and high style make her perfect for that,” he says. “But I also travel with my family and want to go to the more isolated islands and really get a chance to enjoy the natural environment in peace and quiet, and she can do that as well.  I really don’t know of any other boat that can go to either kind of place quite as expertly as this one. My family and I expect to create many good memories on board.” It’s enough to give anyone the chills.

All-New Azimut Fly 53 Review (2022 Edition)

Azimut’s new 53 is an important yacht, an entry-level model that might be a buyer’s first taste of this Italian builder, it also goes head to head with some notable rivals

Azimut and designer Alberto Mancini have been creating a quiet revolution with a new generation of flybridge designs that are bold and elegant in equal measure while delivering some beguiling interior luxury, as spectacularly demonstrated on the new 37m Grande Trideck flagship. Can they pull off the same mix of wonders on a 50-footer?

Performance & Handling

Around the Marina

The 53 Fly is only available with Volvo Penta's IPS950 and that, of course, means joystick control. The boat responds well to inputs from the joystick even if you do feel the boat's height with the hard top fitted as it rolls a touch during sideways manoeuvres. The handling of the boat isn't an issue it's the view from the helms that makes life a little tricky.

You can't see the aft end of the boat from the flybridge and it's hard to communicate with the crew from the lower helm so it would make sense to, at the very least, add some cameras around the boat so you can use the MFDs to check position or tick the optional cockpit docking station for a better view aft. If you moor with the stern to the dock on a regular basis I would say this is a must-have. 

Moving around the boat is easy enough and there's a healthy amount of deck storage for fenders and lines but the lack of a side door into the saloon means crewing isn't as easy as it could be. 

The challenge with only providing one engine option is that it has to suit the boat perfectly and, thankfully, the D11 725hp motors of the IPS950 installation are a great match to the 53's refined, soft-riding hull shape. We topped out at a comfortable 31 knots (even touching 34 knots at one point with a bit of Solent tide beneath us) and cruised at 26 knots where the range is in the region of 300nm. The fuel burn curve is pretty flat once up to planing speeds, though, so even if you want to get a bit of a lick on the range doesn't drop too sharply. 

The handling is light but has a good amount of feel and the boat turns nicely for a weighty flybridge cruiser. The best handling boat I've driven in this category is the shaft-drive Princess F55 and though the Azimut may not be quite as sharp in the turns or feel quite as well balanced it's not far off. It's very quiet, too. IPS helps with this but the well-engineered engine room and its layers of sound insulation improve the sound levels even more. 

We didn't have much chop to play with during the test but on a busy day in the Solent, the wash from other craft did little to put the Azimut off its stride. The boat feels solid through the waves with no bangs, squeaks or rattles emanating from the hull or interior. It's an easy boat to drive at all speeds and, from the comfort of the upper helm especially, feels like a boat you could comfortably cover some decent ground on.

Design & Build

Yes, style is subjective, but can anyone argue against the idea that this Azimut 53 is one of the most beautiful 50ft flys ever made? Mancini’s hand is obvious from the angular bow and clean sharp lines that run aft, metallic topsides and black style lines stretching the yacht out further, delivering an impressive sleekness. Of course, the demands of the market mean that an unsightly hard top is never too far away and even the aesthetically conscious Azimut has had to concede. If it were my boat, I'd be opting for the canvas bimini every day of the week. 

Keeping the profile low while delivering good interior volume is incredibly hard to do at this length. And deliver it they have. A quick look at the layout suggests all the right component parts are held within this sleek yacht. Three cabins, including a full-beam owner’s stateroom, are found below decks with an open, spacious saloon above, the galley aft design connecting the interior to the aft deck while also delivering a very practical galley that runs across the beam.

But then, nothing short of excellent would cut it in a market that includes several award-winning yachts from the likes of Absolute, Sunseeker, Princess and Ferretti.   

Form and Function

Azimut is, it seems, not only aware of the competition but also how much use yachts of this size get put to by their owner-operators. The interior reflects the serious cruising requirements of a 16m flybridge with masses of stowage and easy-going nature that you just know will be a joy to use. 

This being an Azimut, the practicalities of yachting life run alongside plenty of style. The new interiors we saw on the Grande Tri-Deck and 68 find a subtle home here, with dreamy, pastel soft furnishings, not a hard edge to be found and a choice of clean cool finishes or warmer oak cabinetry, detailed with copper inlays.

Interior Accommodation

The 53’s interior design is wonderfully relaxing, there are marshmallows less sumptuous than the saloon’s inviting facing sofas. To the main port seating, an electric pedestal allows the dining table to drop into an occasion berth, a useful feature on a cruising yacht. 

We are now so used to builders working in massive glass sections that they can almost be overlooked, as opposed to gratefully looked through. Here, the saloon guests will enjoy unbroken views across the water from single-piece side screens, or perhaps watch the pop-up TV to starboard. 

That said, the low window line means that taller people won't have a great view out when standing in the saloon. The window line is undeniably sleek but the views out aren't as good as board the likes of the Absolute 52 Fly and Princess F55. There's also an odd lack of ventilation. There's a small window above the galley, aft, but there is no way of getting any natural ventilation into the helm station - not even a manual sliding window - so it gets pretty uncomfortable on hot days. 

The 53’s galley design spreads across the aft of the main deck, creating not only a space you can actually cook in, but also lots of practicality, from a proper cabinet refrigerator and dishwasher to designated drawers for glassware and crockery. The beauty of this galley is how everything is so neatly concealed behind the oak panels of the cabinetry, many with satisfying push catches that reveal things like the microwave and storage for the boat's crockery. It's a very clean look.  The design doesn’t allow that complete inside-outside flow into the cockpit, that large fridge winning out over an adjoining window and bar, but it does connect up the saloon and deck easily enough.

Tri-cab triumph

The three cabins are all excellent, the light, relaxed feel of the saloon continuing with a neat twin guest cabin forward VIP that shares a toilet and shower compartment. The owner’s stateroom is full beam with the ensuite lying forward at the cabin entrance. There is also space for a washing machine across the way. 

The layout is interesting. Instead of having the central doorway into the VIP cabin with the day head to port, the day head/VIP ensuite is centrally located, leaving the entrance to the VIP cabin to port. This arrangement creates a more spacious bathroom and provides a separate passageway into the VIP through the head compartment. It also puts the day head closer to the twin cabin, which without its own ensuite will use the day head as its bathroom. Some boats at this size have bunks in the third cabin so it's nice to see side-by-side berths aboard the 53 Fly. 

The owner’s cabin is luxurious and clever in equal measure. Two smart strips of glass line the walls, with mirrors positioned to visually extend the window design and create a sense of even more space. The yacht’s sleek profile is perhaps felt a little in this cabin, with slightly less volume than say the Sunseeker Manhattan 55, but there is still full headroom around the double berth and space for a sofa, dressing area and, most impressively, a full-height walk-in wardrobe. 

Helm Station

The low brow of the windscreen means the view is a little restricted when standing at the lower helm but the adjustable seat makes it easy to get comfortable with a decent view forward thanks to thin windscreen mullions and the position of the wheel towards the centreline. The dash itself is stylish and attractive, dominated as it is upstairs by the comically large and thick steering wheel. 

Our boat had the Gold electronics package which provides 12in Garmin MFDs over the standard 9in ones and this is an investment worth making. It's good to see a remote keypad to control the screens on the dash as well as the touchscreen functionality which can be a bit tricky to use if the boat is bouncing around.  

The lack of ventilation is one issue at the lower helm but having no window to be able to communicate with crew limits the scenarios where you would want to moor the boat from here. When some rivals have full side doors it's not really good enough to have no windows around the helm at all. 

Upstairs there are few complaints. The seated position is excellent and the layout of the dash works very well indeed. Having the major controls on a long moulding to port means the skipper can sit back in their seat and reach the joystick, throttles and the remote for the twin MFDs really easily. The dash is clearly laid out and nice to look at, though it could do with a bit more storage for loose items.

Deck lifestyle

The flybridge is pretty clear on its focus, it’s not the biggest but it is very welcoming with a circular design that is perfect for loafing, lounging and generally enjoying the good life. A large sun pad forward is joined by a wraparound aft seat and fold-out bar-dining table that will also convert to a massive pad. In between, a useful wet bar will keep guests supplied with cold drinks. The optional electro-hydraulic bimini is the more pleasing option for the eye but many will fall for the versatility and ease of the hardtop, which has built-in lighting and a sliding canvas roof operated by a one-touch control on the upper helm. 

Down the flybridge stairs, the aft cockpit keeps things simple with an L-shaped bench and dining area, fender and warp storage below the seats. Even though there is no through window to the galley, it’s great that Azimut has chosen to still deliver a neat bar area, sat beneath the flybridge overhang, making the aft deck feel more sociable and sophisticated. The entire area can be enclosed with canopy covers to extend the living space in poor weather, too. 

At this length, a forward lounge is far from guaranteed and so it should be fully appreciated. This one has a separate seating area, the sunpad running down to the bow. The backrest mechanism is particularly smart and uses hinges and gas rams so you can quickly switch between the two positions. There is also the option for a shade sitting on carbon poles, a useful addition when in port or at anchor. 

At the stern, the hydraulic bathing platform will easily launch the tender (up to 500kg) or serve as a fun swim platform when the boat's at anchor. The transom also gives access to the crew cabin with a single bed and toilet, it could easily make up another occasional guest berth but is probably destined to be a high-end storage area. 

Value For Money

The Azimut 53 must rank as one of the smartest and most cohesive 50ft yachts on the market. In the 10m-15m market, we are seeing a move away from luxurious detail and craft, with builders employing clever if often blandly homogeneous production finishes. Here, the level of thought, design and finish on offer gets the luxury balance right and separates this yacht from what is a crowded market. So while there might be larger yachts in this sector, and some that can match the Azimut on the finish, few mix style, speed and space so effortlessly.

It feels like a quality product, too, not only in the obvious stuff like brightwork and interior finish but the engine room is one of the best in the sector with plenty of space to work on the engines, a very neat installation and some useful extras like a freshwater hose and a pair of wandering lights that attach to the ceiling for easy illumination of the darker corners. 

The base price for a 53 is €1.1 million ex VAT (at the time of writing) but our test boat had around €500,000 of extras including the hard top, Seakeeper, Gold navigation package, crew cabin fit-out, uprated generator and air-conditioning meaning the price as tested was €1.72 million ex VAT (at the time of writing). 

To use a boxing analogy, a 50ft flybridge might well be the best pound-for-pound cruiser out there. Big and heavy enough to be comfortable in most seas, it is still agile and rewarding to drive, offers three good cabins over a 40-footer’s two but is just as easy to self-pilot. The Azimut 53 does all of this and adds some breathtaking design that will look good forever, but, importantly, never forgets that while it is a luxury yacht it is also one that is destined to be used, and you will definitely enjoy using this boat. It's a shame about the lack of ventilation in the saloon and the view aft from the flybridge but there's still a lot to like about this fabulously stylish flybridge cruiser. 

Reasons to Buy

• Handsome design
• Handling and performance
• Well proportioned cabins
• Excellent engine room

Things to Consider

• Lack of ventilation in the saloon
• Poor view aft from upper helm

There is no lack of fast, spacious 50ft flybridge yachts, with all the big players involved, which is why any new boat coming to market needs to go hard or go home. You can demand and win 30knots, three cabins, bright glass-clad salons and spacious decks from any number of builders and with a good deal of variation on price. What you won't always enjoy is the style and beauty on offer here, but we shall leave that subjective point to the beholder. 

The award-winning Sunseeker Manhattan 55 is an obvious rival, big on space and luxury it is arguably the class leader. Azimut’s old adversity, Ferretti , has the clean and serene 550, a larger yacht with crisp Italian style and inside and a very similar layout to the 53.     

The Princess F55 is another close rival, and notably longer yacht, with the same layout on and below decks and a similarly light and welcoming style. The British boat has a big flybridge with masses of seating.

The Absolute 52 Fly and Galeon 530 Fly offer clever deck and interior spaces and more bombastic styling but they are unlikely to be as dynamically sweet as the Azimut. 

It is to the Azimut 53’s credit that all of its main three-cabin rivals are longer boats. Half a meter might not sound much but it counts for a lot on interior volume, so Azimut and its design team are to be congratulated for delivering this amount of easy-living yacht under 17m (55ft).

Azimut Fly 53 Layout

A simple, social, circular design wraps around the flybridge with a forward sunpad and an aft lounge and dining area that will convert to another pad 

The salon has a galley aft design, with a slightly raised lounge forward. On deck, an L-shaped seating area is joined by a neat bar in the cockpit, while forward another lounge area will be a great spot in port     

The full-beam Owner's stateroom and forward VIP will get the headlines but the fact the third cabin has twin berths, rather than bunks, is a key point. An optional aft crew or occasional cabin can also be specified

CLAUSE 1 – SCOPE

1.2 The Charterer agrees to hire the Yacht and shall pay the Charter Fee, the Advance Provisioning Allowance (A.P.A.), the Security Deposit and any other agreed charges, in cleared funds, no later than the dates and to the Stakeholder’s Clients Account specified in this Agreement.

CLAUSE 2 – DELIVERY AND RE-DELIVERY

2.1 The Owner shall at the beginning of the Charter Period deliver the Yacht free of encumbrance to the Departure Port in compliance with its flag state requirements and the Charterer shall take delivery in full commission and working order. The Yacht shall be insured, seaworthy, clean, in good condition throughout and ready for service, with full equipment, including up-to-date safety and lifesaving equipment (including life-jackets for children if any are carried in the Charterer ’s Party), as required by the Yacht’s registration authority and fitted out as appropriate for a Yacht of her size and type and enabling the Charterer to use the Yacht as set out in Clause 13. The Owner does not warrant her use and comfort in bad weather conditions for all cruises or passages within the Cruising Area.

2.2 The Charterer shall re-deliver the Yacht to the Owner at the Return Port free of any debts incurred for the Charterer ’s account during the Charter Period and in as good a condition as when delivery was taken, except for fair wear and tear arising from ordinary use. The Charterer may, if he wishes, re-deliver the Yacht to the Return Port and disembark prior to the end of the Charter Period but such early re-delivery shall not entitle the Charterer to any refund of the Charter Fee.

CLAUSE 3 – CRUISING AREA

3.1 The Charterer shall restrict the cruising of the Yacht to within the Cruising Area and to within regions in the Cruising Area in which the Yacht is legally permitted to cruise. The Charterer shall also restrict time under way to an average of six (6) hours per day, unless the Captain, at his sole discretion, agrees to exceed this time.

3.2 The Captain and/or Dealer will make all reasonable efforts to accommodate the Charterer ’s request for a berth, but in any case the Captain and/or Owner and/or Dealer and/or Stakeholder (if applicable) cannot be held liable for the unavailability of the berth.

CLAUSE 4 – MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PERSONS – RESPONSIBILITY FOR CHILDREN – HEALTH OF THE CHARTERER’S PARTY

4.1 The Charterer shall not at any time during the Charter Period permit more than the Maximum Number of guests on Board plus, at the sole discretion of the Captain, a reasonable number of visitors whilst the Yacht is securely moored in port or at anchor, or as permitted by the appropriate authority.

4.2 If children are taken on board, the Charterer shall be fully responsible for their conduct and entertainment and no member of the Crew shall be held responsible for their conduct or entertainment.

4.3 The Charterer warrants the medical fitness of all members of the Charterer ’s Party for the voyage contemplated by this Agreement. The Charterer undertakes to have all necessary visas and vaccinations for the countries to be visited for himself and his guests.

CLAUSE 5 – CREW

5.1 The Dealer shall provide a Captain qualified in accordance with the Yacht’s flag state requirements and acceptable to the insurers of the Yacht. He shall also provide a suitably qualified and properly trained Crew. The Captain and Crew shall comply with the laws and regulations of any country into whose waters the Yacht shall enter during the course of this Agreement. The Crew is entitled to a minimum amount of rest in accordance with the Yacht’s Code of Practice, which includes the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) 2006.

5.2 The Captain and Crew are bound at all times to keep all information related to this Charter, the Owner , the Charterer , and all guests as confidential and no information is to be disclosed to any third party without prior permission of the Charterer in writing.

CLAUSE 6 – CAPTAIN’S AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITIES

6.1 The Captain shall comply with all reasonable orders given to him by the Charterer regarding the management, operation and movement of the Yacht, wind, weather and other circumstances permitting. The Captain shall not, however, be bound to comply with any order which might, in the reasonable opinion of the Captain, result in the Yacht moving to any port or place that is not safe and proper, or might result in the Charterer failing to re-deliver the Yacht upon the expiration of the Charter Period, or would, in the reasonable opinion of the Captain, cause a breach of any clause of this Agreement. Further, without prejudice to any other remedy of the Owner and of the Dealer, if, in the reasonable opinion of the Captain, the Charterer or any of his guests fail to observe any of the provisions in Clause 13 and if such failure continues after the Captain has given due and specific warning to the Charterer in writing in respect of the same, the Captain shall inform the Dealer/ Owner , and the Dealer/ Owner may terminate the Charter forthwith or instruct the Captain to return the Yacht to the Return Port and upon such return the Charter Period shall be terminated. The Charterer and his guests shall disembark, the Charterer having settled all outstanding expenses with the Captain beforehand and the Charterer shall not be entitled to any refund of the Charter Fee.

6.2 With particular regard to the use of watersports equipment, the Captain shall have the authority to exclude the Charterer or any or all of his guests from use of any particular watersports equipment if they are unsafe, or behaving in an irresponsible manner, or are under the influence of alcohol, or are failing to show due concern for other persons or property when operating this equipment.

6.3 The Captain shall immediately notify the Owner , the Dealer and the Stakeholder of any breakdowns, disablements, crew changes, accidents, or other significant incidents that occur during the Charter Period.

CLAUSE 7 – OPERATING COSTS

7.1 The Charter Fee includes the charter of the Yacht with all its equipment in working order; tools; stores; cleaning materials and basic consumable stores for engine room, deck, galley and cabins; laundry of ship’s linen; the Captain’s fee and crew’s wages, uniforms and food; the insurance of the Yacht and crew as per Clause 16.

7.2 The Charterer will pay the Advance Provisioning Allowance (A.P.A.), which includes, but is not limited to, shoreside transport; fuel for the main engines and generators; fuel for tenders and water sports equipment; food and all beverages for the Charterer and his guests; berthing dues and other harbour charges including pilots’ fees, local taxes, divers’ fees, customs formalities and any charges for waste disposal, charges for water and electricity taken from shore; ships’ agents’ fees where applicable; personal laundry; Charterer and his guests’ communications and internet use; and hire or purchase costs of any special equipment placed on board at the Charterer ’s request.

7.3 In addition to the A.P.A., payment for extraordinary expenses such as special requirements or equipment, shoreside transport or excursions or any other expenses not customarily considered part of the Yacht’s operating costs may be required to be paid, via the Stakeholder’s Clients Account in advance or to the Captain on boarding.

7.4 Having paid the A.P.A. via the Stakeholder’s Clients Account, the Charterer shall be advised by the Captain, at intervals, as to the disbursement of the A.P.A. and shall, if the balance remaining becomes insufficient in the light of current expenditure as supported by receipts, pay to the Captain a sufficient sum to maintain an adequate credit balance. The Dealer shall ensure the Captain will exercise due diligence in the expenditure of the A.P.A. Any charges or fees related to the transfer of the A.P.A. to the Yacht are for the Charterer ’s account. Exchange rates, if applicable, cannot be guaranteed.

7.5 Prior to disembarkation at the end of the Charter Period, the Captain shall present to the Charterer a detailed account of expenditure, with as many supporting receipts as possible, and the Charterer shall pay to the Captain the balance of the expenses or the Captain shall repay to the Charterer any balance overpaid, as the case may be.

7.6 Payment by cheque, credit card or other negotiable instrument is not normally acceptable due to the itinerant nature of the Yacht’s seasonal schedule and the Charterer should therefore ensure that he has sufficient funds available to cover all foreseeable expenses or arrange to deposit additional funds with the Stakeholder.

CLAUSE 8 – DELAY IN DELIVERY

8.1 If, by reason of force majeure (as defined in Clause 21), the Owner fails to deliver the Yacht to the Charterer at the Departure Port at the commencement of the Charter Period and delivery is made within forty-eight (48) hours of the scheduled commencement date, or within one tenth (1/10th) of the Charter Period, whichever period is the shorter, the Owner shall pay to the Charterer a refund of the Charter Fee at a pro rata daily rate or if it be mutually agreed the Owner shall allow a pro rata extension of the Charter Period.

8.2 If by reason of force majeure the Owner fails to deliver the Yacht within forty-eight (48) hours or a period equivalent to one-tenth (1/10th) of the Charter Period, to the Departure Port, whichever period is the shorter from the due time of delivery, the Charterer shall be entitled to treat this Agreement as terminated. The Charterer ’s exclusive remedy will be to receive immediate repayment without interest of the full amount of all payments made by him under the terms of this Agreement. Alternatively, if the Parties mutually agree, the Charter Period shall be extended by a time equivalent to the delay or postponed to a mutually agreed time.

CLAUSE 9 – DELAY IN RE-DELIVERY

9.1 If re-delivery of the Yacht is delayed by reason of force majeure, re-delivery shall be effected as soon as possible thereafter and in the meantime the conditions of this Agreement shall remain in force but without penalty or additional charge against the Charterer .

9.2 If the Charterer fails to re-deliver the Yacht to the Owner at the Return Port due to intentional delay or change of itinerary against the Captain’s advice, then the Charterer shall pay forthwith to the Owner via the Stakeholder’s Clients Account demurrage at the daily rate plus fifty percent (50%) of the daily rate. The Charterer shall be liable for all operating costs as per Clause 7 and indemnify the Owner for any loss or damage which the Owner shall suffer by reason of deprivation of use of the Yacht or cancellation of, or delay in delivery under any subsequent Charter of the Yacht.

CLAUSE 10 – CANCELLATION BY CHARTERER – MISSED PAYMENT OF ANY AMOUNT DUE BY CHARTERER

10.1 Should the Charterer exert his right to discretional cancellation within fourteen (14) days from reservation, he will be fully refunded with the Reservation Deposit paid. Should the Charterer express the intention not to continue with the Charter on or at any time before the commencement of the Charter Period, the other Parties in this Agreement will have right, proportionally, to retain partially or totally the Charter Fee as follows:

• i) After this Agreement has been signed and the First Instalment paid but before the Second Instalment becomes due, all other Parties shall be entitled to retain proportionally 50% of the Charter Fee portion of the First Instalment.
• ii) After payment of the First Instalment and expiration of the term of payment of the Second Instalment, all other Parties shall be entitled to retain proportionally 100% of the Charter Fee portion of the First Instalment.

iii) After payment of the First and Second Instalments but with no show of the Charterer , all other Parties shall be entitled to retain proportionally 100% of the Charter Fee portion of the First Instalment.

10.2 Should the Charterer fail to pay, after having been given written notice by the Owner , any amount due under this Agreement, the Owner reserves the right to treat this Agreement as having been repudiated by the Charterer and to retain the full amount of all payments and to recover all sums unpaid and due up to the date of the repudiation.

10.3 Notwithstanding the Stakeholder’s, Owner ’s and Dealer’s right to receive or retain all payments referred to above, whether due to cancellation or non-payment, the Owner shall be under a duty to mitigate the Charterer ’s loss and in the event that the Owner is able to re-let the Yacht for all or part of the Charter Period under this Agreement, the Owner will give credit for the net amount of charter hire arising from such re-letting after deduction of all commissions and other consequential expenses arising from such re-letting. The Owner shall use his best endeavours to re-let the Yacht and shall not unreasonably withhold his agreement to re-let, although charters which may reasonably be considered detrimental to the Yacht, its reputation, the Dealer’s Crew or its schedule may be refused.

If, prior to the date of cancellation, the Yacht has taken on provisions for the Charter, or has utilised the A.P.A. as set out on Page One of this Agreement, then the Charterer shall pay for these expenses unless all or part can be either refunded by the supplier or transferred to the next Charter, in which case they shall be adjusted accordingly. The Captain and Owner shall be under a duty to mitigate these expenses where possible.

10.4 If, after signature of this Agreement, the Owner is adjudged bankrupt or, in the case of a company, a liquidator, receiver or administrator is appointed over all or part of the Owner ’s assets, the Charterer shall be entitled to cancel the Charter and all monies paid to the Owner , his agent or the Stakeholder pursuant to this Agreement shall be refunded without further deduction.

CLAUSE 11 – CANCELLATION BY OWNER

11.1 The Owner shall guarantee the availability of the Yacht for the Period of Charter. Any breach of this obligation constitutes a breach of this Agreement and entails the Owner ’s exclusive liability for any incurred damages. In particular, the Agreement will be deemed as terminated towards the Owner with forfeiture of any rights accrued in favour of the Owner and the Charterer shall be entitled to immediate repayment without interest of the full amount of all payments made by him under the terms of this Agreement, save his right to claim other consequential liquidated damages from the Owner .

11.2 If the Stakeholder and/or the Dealer are able to arrange for another Charter at the same conditions, the Agreement will be amended accordingly via an Addendum, otherwise it shall be deemed as terminated with respect to all Parties.

CLAUSE 12 – BREAKDOWN OR DISABLEMENT

12.1 If after delivery the Yacht shall at any time be disabled by breakdown of machinery, grounding, collision or other cause so as to prevent reasonable use of the Yacht by the Charterer for a period between twelve (12) and forty-eight (48) consecutive hours or one tenth (1/10th) of the Charter Period, whichever is the shorter (and the disablement has not been brought about by any act or default of the Charterer ) the Owner shall make a pro rata refund of the Charter Fee for the period of the disablement or, if mutually agreed, allow a pro rata extension of the Charter Period corresponding with the period of disablement. If the Charterer wishes to invoke this clause he shall give immediate notice to the Captain directly, (or via the Dealer). The Charterer shall not be liable for extra costs relating to the immobilisation of the Yacht but will remain liable for normal expenses during the period of disablement.

12.2 In the event of the actual or constructive total loss of the Yacht or if the Yacht is disabled as aforesaid for a consecutive period of more than forty-eight (48) hours or one tenth (1/10th) of the Charter Period, whichever is shorter, the Charterer may terminate this Agreement by notice in writing to the Owner via the Stakeholder or to the Captain if no means of communication is available. Within two (2) working days after such termination, the Charter Fee shall be repaid by the Owner pro rata without interest for that proportion of the Charter Period outstanding after the date and time on which the loss or disablement occurred. In the event of such termination the Charterer may redeliver the Yacht by giving up possession of the Yacht where she lies. The Charterer shall be entitled to recover from the Owner the reasonable cost of returning the Charterer and his guests to the Return Port together with reasonable accommodation expenses incurred.

12.3 Alternatively, after a consecutive period of disablement of more than forty-eight (48) hours or one tenth (1/10th) of the Charter Period, whichever the shorter, and dependent on the nature and seriousness of the disablement, by mutual agreement the Charterer may elect to remain on board for the duration of the Charter Period and the Charterer will then have no further or additional claim against the Owner .

CLAUSE 13 – USE OF THE YACHT

13.1 The Charterer shall comply, and shall ensure that the guests comply, with the laws and regulations of any country into whose waters the Yacht shall enter during the course of this Agreement.

The Charterer shall ensure that no pets or other animals are brought on board the Yacht without the consent in writing of the Owner .

Failure to comply shall be sufficient reason for the Owner to terminate the Charter forthwith without refund or recourse against the Owner , Stakeholder or Dealer.

13.2 The Captain shall promptly draw the Charterer ’s attention to any infringement of these terms by himself or his guests, and if such behaviour continues after this warning, the Captain shall inform the Owner or Stakeholder, and the Owner may, by notice in writing given to the Charterer , terminate this Agreement in accordance with Clause 6.

13.3 If the Charterer or any of the guests shall commit any offence contrary to the laws and regulations of any country which results (i) in any member of the Dealer’s Crew of the Yacht being detained, fined or imprisoned, the Charterer shall indemnify the Dealer against all loss, damage and expense incurred by the Dealer as a result; (ii) or in the Yacht being detained, arrested, seized or fined, the Charterer shall indemnify the Owner against all loss, damage and expense incurred by the Owner as a result, and the Owner may, by notice to the Charterer , terminate this Agreement forthwith.

The Charterer shall not assign this Agreement, sub-let the Yacht or part with control of the Yacht without the consent in writing of the Owner , which consent may be on such terms as the Owner thinks fit.

CLAUSE 15 – SALE OF THE YACHT

15.1 Should the Owner agree to sell the Yacht after the signing of this Charter Agreement, but before delivery to the Charterer , the Owner shall immediately, upon entering into an agreement for the sale of the Yacht, give notice of such sale in writing to the Charterer via the Stakeholder. This information shall be kept in strict confidence by all parties to the Agreements.

15.2 Should the Yacht be sold one of the following provisions will apply:

Where the Charter is taken over by the Buyer on the same terms and conditions there shall be no penalty against the Owner and no additional commission due to the Stakeholder.
• ii) If the Buyer is unwilling or unable to fulfil the Charter Agreement then this Charter Agreement shall be considered as having been cancelled by the Owner in accordance with Clause 11. All payments made by the Charterer shall be promptly repaid in full to him without deduction, save his right to claim other consequential liquidated damages from the Owner .

  CLAUSE 16 – INSURANCE
