CLOUD 9 Yacht Description
Start with the core upgrade: CLOUD 9 is a 2024 Menorquín 68 Flybridge that takes the classic lobster-boat look and bolts on modern engineering, full air‑con, stabilizers and a proper Bang & Olufsen AV system. It’s for clients who like traditional lines but still expect Netflix, Wi‑Fi and silence from the engine room.
Real space where it matters. At just under 21.3m, CLOUD 9 is optimised for six guests in three cabins, not for “maximum berths on paper.” You get a full‑beam master, a VIP double and a twin, with two crew in separate quarters to keep service high and privacy intact. Translation: a genuine owner‑style layout, not a charter dormitory.
Outside, this is where you actually live. The flybridge runs modular sofas you can reconfigure for sunbathing, drinks or awkward family meetings; add the soft bimini and it becomes an all‑day base. Aft, there’s a shaded dining area under the flybridge overhang, and a wide swim platform that works as your launch pad for the Seabob, SUP, wakeboard and tender runs. Up front, the foredeck sunpads and forward‑facing sofa are the “do not disturb” zone.
Why pick CLOUD 9 in this size range: you’re getting a brand‑new (2024) semi‑displacement flybridge with stabilizers, contemporary interior, proper tech and a toy set that actually gets used, run by a tight two‑man Croatian crew with serious Adriatic miles. If you want the feel of a small private yacht, not a mini cruise ship, this is the point where you stop comparing spreadsheets.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like CLOUD 9, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€7,250 - €11,600), making the charter cost €36,250 to €40,600. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
