The Yacht
The Black Swan is coming our way - We are very pleased to announce some very big news: the gorgeous, one-of-a-kind luxurious 49-meter motor vessel the Black Swan will nest in charter fleet in 2024.
Custom-built in 2018 in Croatia as a premium boutique cruiser, the Black Swan stood out from the very beginning with its extravagant design and service tailored to the most discerning guests. She is now undergoing a complete refit to become a truly unique private luxury charter yacht with an extended crew and masterfully personalized service.
Her name, the Black Swan, stands for beauty, grace and rarity. For the longest time, black swans were believed to be mythical creatures. Today, when we know for a fact they exist, they still lend their name to describe unexpected events that come as a surprise and create a far-reaching ripple effect. There is no doubt that the Black Swan will live up to her name.
Once the refit is complete, she will offer plush accommodation for up to twenty guests in her ten double cabins. No less than three are master cabins, each situated on one deck. The remaining queen and king-size en suites will be convertible into twins, allowing great flexibility for diverse or multigenerational parties. One multipurpose room on the lower deck can double as a single cabin or be transformed into a playroom, a PlayStation lounge for kids, a media cabin or an office.
Her ample common spaces are ideal for great time together as well as wonderful moments in privacy. Relaxation seekers will appreciate the many areas for soaking up the sun, from the expansive sundeck with sun loungers to the fly deck Jacuzzi where bubbly sunsets pair perfectly with a glass of champagne. Adventures are always on option, with water toys galore including jet skis, water skis, sea bobs, SUPs, a water slide and more. Those who favor solid ground will love the e-bikes that make it easy to spontaneously explore islands and shores.
With seamless communication between the indoor lounge and aft deck, her expansive main deck can host a variety of themes and feels. Opportunities for cozy and quiet moments sit scattered throughout. Guests can enjoy morning papers over an espresso by the library nook, sip on whiskey in the cigar corner and relish romantic whispers by the upright piano. Outside, sunset cocktails and dining al fresco come immersed in the gorgeous Adriatic sceneries.
Dining is a special treat each time around, with a chef and sous chef fully dedicated to preparing delectable Mediterranean creations from the freshest ingredients sourced locally. Guests can enjoy Chef’s table dinners on the upper deck, breezy lunches in the aft deck lounge, and light snacks paired with the best wines anywhere, always tailored to special dietary requests. Whether a dinner is followed by starlit dancing by the sundeck cocktail bar, a casino night in the saloon or a movie night in the private indoor cinema, no two nights are alike.
The gym and Finnish sauna make it easy to keep up health and fitness routines. With a masseur on board full time, every day can start with an energizing massage. Adding a yoga instructor to the crew is great for those who wish to start or end their days with a sunlit practice on the sundeck.
Onboard the Black Swan, a dedicated crew of thirteen is made up of professionals with extensive experience of catering to the most refined preferences. A fully dedicated mainland-based concierge will take care of the guests’ special wishes, from organizing a batch of that special champagne for a party to tailoring excursions in the region.
Coupling expansive space for twenty guests with deluxe comfort and state-of-the-art service, the tailored yachting experience onboard the Black Swan sets out to become as mythical as black swans themselves.
What a great surprise to look forward to in 2024.
