Yacht Description
Refit, then charter. VERA is a 52m (about 171ft) Abeking & Rasmussen motor yacht built in 2000 and refit in 2024, set up to sleep 12 guests in 6 cabins.
Jacuzzi options matter. There’s a deck jacuzzi for the group, plus a jacuzzi in the primary suite for the person who wants quiet bubbles. Small luxury. Big impact.
Wellness built in. A proper gym and a sauna mean you can undo the damage from dinner, or at least pretend you tried. Stabilizers underway help keep things comfortable when you’re on the move.
Toys for mixed crews. Expect a solid spread of water time with jet skis and WaveRunners, wakeboard and adult water skis, towables (banana and tube), paddleboards, plus snorkeling and light fishing gear.
