Escape to the Maldives aboard Expedition Yacht SENSES

By Rebecca Bradbury 16 March 2017

The 59m/194ft superyacht SENSES is available for charter in the picture perfect islands of the Maldives from June 2017.

A converted discovery yacht, SENSES is engineered for long-distance cruising and is the perfect choice for an off-the-beaten track adventure. There could surely be no better yacht on which to explore the wonderfully remote and beautiful coral islands of the Maldives.

Flying into Kaadedhdhoo, charter guests will be able to reach the nation’s most alluring assets within an hour’s sail. Discover the gorgeous white sand beaches of Kuramathi Island, the sublime bioluminescent waters that lap Vaadhoo Island and the pristine Laamu Atoll.

In total, the archipelago boasts 800 uninhabited island gems, which you can explore as part of a private yacht charter, and scuba divers and snorkelers will love the fascinating marine life, especially the warm waters of Hanhushi teaming with colourful coral reef and tropical fish.

There is plenty of deck space aboard luxury yacht SENSES in which to take in the stunning surrounds. Split-level decks offer both shaded and open sun-lounging areas, secluded side pods, sheltered dining options, and a private beach club complete with a Jacuzzi and huge sun pads.

Styled by Phillippe Starck, the timeless, understated interior of the expedition yacht is defined by light woods, white walls and white furniture. Yet, artworks, ethnic rugs and cushions add splashes of colour for a tranquil and relaxing environment on your charter vacation.

Highlights include a sumptuous observation lounge with 180-degree views, and a sociable lounge in the main salon, which can be divided from a formal dining area by sliding doors. All spaces are well-primed for intimate gatherings as well as larger social occasions.

After a busy day on the water, the principal charterer can retreat into a full-beam master suite, and take in fabulous views from the huge bed and comfortable seating area. The other accommodation aboard the charter yacht consists of four further cabins and a convertible office, which also serves as a massage room.

Other benefits of the yacht’s six voluminous decks is the ability to house four high-speed tenders. Guests will be jetted off to footprint free beaches and idyllic coves at speeds of up to 70 knots, and have the chance to explore the Indian Ocean with offerings from the huge treasure of water toys.
