The Yacht
'Ombre Blu3' is a Sailing Catamaran, accommodating up to 6 guests, available for crewed charter.
Ombre Blu3 Description and Charter Summary Information
OMBRE BLU³ offers luxurious holidays for discerning guests and passionate sailors. A truly classical boating interior was the inspiration for this custom made Sunreef 70 sailing catamaran.
Love for detail is a hallmark of the yacht’s design. Decorative elements made of brass such as old lamps, bar stools, door handles and railings coming from original passenger ships of the 17th, 18th and 19th century underline its distinctive character.
Moody weather cannot dampen the on-deck experience as both flybridge and main deck provide protection from sun, wind and rain showers from all sides.
The latter without stealing the view. Those who still feel the need to escape inside may enjoy expansive sea views from the bright and spacious saloon. Various sunbeds on the flybridge, main and front deck invite full relaxation.
The yacht can accommodate up to 6 guests
The configuration of three couples works perfectly, as each cabin has its very own special touch.
The master cabin is located on the starboard side aft and features a double bed, desk/beauty table, armchair, a huge cupboard space and bathroom with double sink , separate shower and toilet.
The guest cabin on the starboard side is appropriate for couples and stands out, having the largest bathroom with huge open rain shower on teak flooring.
Another bonus for couples are the two adjoining cabins forming a suite on the port side, where the bathroom is accessible via the main double cabin. The connected cabin entails a sofa/single berth and beauty table which operates as a suite.
OMBRE BLU³ carries a professional crew of 4, who are dedicated to creating the vacation experience of your dreams.
OMBRE BLU³ is a Registered PADI Dive Centre.
Explore the underwater world for the first time, take your entry level certification, upgrade your dive ticket, take a specialty course or just dive with us for fun!
