 Four Fashionable Decks, All Wheelchair Accessible
In addition to boasting good looks and a one-off reputation from her builder, 153-foot
(46.6-meter) Argyll is completely
handicapped accessible—from her unique cockpit boarding system to the top-deck
sun lounge. The only yacht from builder N.A.Y.S., she was well known upon her
launch for her Ralph Lauren Home décor. Maintaining that style, she features a
variety of social and private spaces such as the enclosed skylounge and the
bridge-deck owner’s suite with personal library. If ever it seemed yachting was
inaccessible to those using a wheelchair, think again.

Art Gallery Meets Diverse Dining Options
The recently refit Lady Joy is 145 feet (44.2 meters) of versatility. She
is perfect for those who love the outdoors, with extensive alfresco dining
facilities and a battery of water toys. Indoors, modern art contrasts with a
light interior, ideal for escaping from one of several sun decks. Unusual for
her size, this Heesen has a shallow, six-foot draft that allows her access to
many islands and ports that other similarly sized yachts cannot access. Five
staterooms comfortably accommodate 10 guests, but Lady Joy can sleep up to 12.

Christen the Newest A-List Charter Yacht
A beauty from Benetti, Galaxy was launched in
mid-2005. As enjoyable indoors as she is on deck, her modern design by Stefano
Natucci comprises extraordinary joinery, the absolute latest entertainment
amenities and a posh décor. Special features include a fully equipped gym
providing breathtaking views on the top deck and a central glass elevator. Her
nearly 184 feet (56 meters) can accommodate 14 passengers in six cabins.
Outside, the open teak deck has everything from a bar and grill with dining
facility to a virtual beach for sunbathing—all in close proximity to the
oversize spa pool. This charter just may be out of this world.

Megayacht-Cum-Boutique-Hotel at Your Disposal
Built and managed by the Greek corporation W.E.M. Lines, RM Elegant could win the award for wearing the most hats
in terms of her flexibility for charter. Her 237 feet (72.2 meters) have been
laid out to accommodate large numbers—think an entire wedding party on charter
or perhaps hosting a family reunion. RM Elegant provides the
ideal configuration for corporate charters as well, featuring a full business
center and large dining areas that could easily be used as boardroom-type
spaces. Plentiful deck space, spacious living areas, a spa, salon and an
industrial galley can handle all the needs for a party of any size.

Fall in Love in the Lap of Luxury
Honeymoon bliss may be found aboard 120-foot (36.6-meter) Touch. The yacht’s superb chef (who received
second-place honors at this year’s ShowBoats/Möet &
Chandon Concours de Chefs in St. Maarten) will prepare your favorite
aphrodisiac, while the stewardess draws a bath in your Lalique-clad bridge-level
master suite. Completely separate from the rest of the vessel with its own
private stairway, this stateroom is the ultimate getaway, right down to the
custom mattresses. The rest of the custom-built 120-footer is lavishly outfitted
in rich finishes and fabrics, and a number of outdoor activities are always at
your beck and call. Take someone special aboard Touch.
