HELIOS Yacht Charter

Start with the non-negotiable upgrade: HELIOS is a 35m Falcon planing yacht that actually moves — a genuine 23‑knot cruising platform, not a static beach club. If your brief includes “cover serious ground” as well as “look like we meant to spend this money”, she’s in the right tab.

Built for real groups, not brochure models. Up to 12 guests sleep in 5 cabins on a layout that’s unapologetically family‑ and group‑friendly: master plus multiple doubles, two twins each with Pullman, all with ensuites finished in Italian marble and showers with Jacuzzi functions. Translation: kids, grandparents, friends, random plus‑ones – everyone gets a proper cabin and a proper bathroom.

Decks designed for use, not just drone shots. The sundeck runs an L‑shaped dining/lounge zone for 12, sunpads, a full bar and an electric bimini that can flip the entire area from “rooftop beach” to “fully shaded camp” in seconds. A wide swim platform turns into the launchpad for the toy inventory rather than a token plank bolted on the back.

Toy locker, not toy token. Out of the garage: 3‑seat Yamaha WaveRunner, waterskis, wakeboard, towables, inflatable sofa, paddleboard, two kayaks, snorkelling and fishing gear, plus a 4.6m Novurania tender to move people without shuttle chaos. This is a charter that can actually absorb a full‑energy group without anyone getting bored and starting a WhatsApp mutiny.

Inside, it’s “Italian yacht”, not “floating meeting room”. Light timber panelling, separate formal dining for 12, and a main salon wired like a small media hub: LED theater system, satellite TV in all cabins, PS4, Apple 4K TV, Wi‑Fi throughout and a real AV upgrade, not just one sad screen at the front. When the sun goes down, nobody is stuck watching someone else’s playlist off a phone speaker.

Why pick HELIOS over yet another 35m: because you get a fast, 2010 Falcon with a 2018 refit, a full‑spec family layout that genuinely sleeps 12 in comfort, strong toys, shaded and social exterior decks, plus a 6‑crew operation tuned for active, mileage‑heavy charters rather than static posing. If your plan is to actually use the yacht all day, HELIOS is built for that.
