Yacht Description

The Sea Is the AmenityAFRICA I is set up for long swim stops. The large swim platform puts guests at water level, and an inflatable dock keeps the waverunners and water toys parked right alongside for quick turnarounds. Two Seabobs, two Seadoo waverunners, paddleboards and an electric surfboard. Enough to keep teenagers and their parents out of each other's way.

Less Roll at LunchAt-anchor stabilizers reduce the motion when the yacht is stopped, so lunch at anchor stays on the plate and guests prone to seasickness have a fighting chance.

Easy Access Main DeckThe main deck is wheelchair-friendly throughout, which makes AFRICA I a real option for groups travelling with someone who has limited mobility, rather than a polite maybe.

Benetti, Sleeps TwelveA 154 ft Benetti built in 2010, sleeping 12 guests in six cabins. A sensible shortlist pick for families and multigenerational groups who plan to spend most of the day in the water.

Onboard visit

AFRICA I is fast, light, and fuel-efficient thanks to her full-aluminium, water-dynamic hull — cruising at 16 knots on remarkably little fuel, with a top speed of 22. Fresh out of a refit, she's in immaculate condition, wheelchair friendly with a lift to the master cabin, and crewed by an experienced, high-energy team who've been together for years. A proven favorite that fills up fast every season.

Onboard visit

AFRICA I stands out with six cabins where most similar yachts offer five, and a crew of twelve versus the usual eight or nine — real extra space and service. Everything onboard feels new and well cared for, from silk carpets and rare marble to Armani-textured furnishings in a comfortable, minimalist interior. Expect lively theme nights (Greek plate-breaking, pirate night, live music) and a happy, energetic crew. The master cabin is also wheelchair friendly.
