Yacht Description
Built for big groups. CASABLANCA is a 53.3m (175ft) custom motor yacht built in 2017, set up to sleep 36 guests in 18 cabins. If you are trying to keep a large party under one roof (and one itinerary), this layout makes it realistically doable.
Deck life, sorted. Three deck levels give you multiple places to spread out, with expansive areas for al fresco dining and sunbathing. There is also stepped access down to the swim platform at the stern for easy in-and-out of the water. Simple. Effective.
Wellness on tap. CASABLANCA’s wellness zone includes a sauna, massage room, and a saltwater plunge pool, plus a deck jacuzzi for low-effort recovery between swims. There is also an outdoor gym area when someone in the group insists on “staying on track.”
Toys that scale. For water time, you have a Jet Ski (Seadoo Spark), a Waverunner, 2 Seabobs, 6 paddleboards, wakeboard, adult and children’s waterskis, towables and 2 donuts, plus an inflatable platform with a dedicated jet ski dock. Two Ris Marine 650 tenders (12 pax each) keep transfers and beach runs moving without the usual traffic jam.
Broker Review
Onboard visit
CASABLANCA is an incredible mini cruise ship, accommodating up to 36 guests across 18 cabins, designed to look like a classic ocean liner right down to a fake chimney hiding a bar. The sundeck doubles as an open-air cinema (yes, you can watch the movie Casablanca), and there's a masseuse onboard for both indoor and outdoor treatments. Hydraulic stern stairs drop right to the water for easy toy launches.
