The New BATELLO: Redesigned As The Ultimate Charter Playground
Today, exceptional charter experiences focus on the exciting pursuits available onboard the yacht and what it offers in terms of tailored and versatile activities. After a recent comprehensive refit project, the award-winning 263' (80m) BATELLO Oceanco motor yacht returns with endless amenities, a dual focus on sports and relaxation, plus a never-ending toy inventory and a fleet of brand new tenders.
BATELLO offers a luxury charter experience that combines action-packed fun and competitive spirit with laid-back leisure, perfect for any group. Whether you want to embrace team sports activities, pump up the adrenaline to full with the newest toys, or take a relaxing solo paddle around the bay, BATELLO ticks every box.
An upgraded floating playground, the redesigned BATELLO is now ready to host world-class charters, and this winter, there is still an opportunity to join the yacht anywhere in the Caribbean, beginning with a fast-approaching Thanksgiving charter.
Here, we outline BATELLO's recent updates and refined experience ready for this year's Caribbean season:
Versatile Sporting Setups
One important element of the recent refit was the transformation of deck space to accommodate friendly sporting fun. On the bridge deck aft, the versatile and dedicated sports court can now cater to team games such as pickleball and basketball.
The deck space has been reconfigured to host this sporting court, offering more than just sunbathing and relaxation. With the increasing popularity of sports like pickleball, guests enjoying BATELLO can now play while simultaneously enjoying a yacht charter. Pickleball is low-impact enough to be accessible for players of all ages and skills, while also fast-paced for those wanting to engage in a thrilling game.
Alongside the ball games is a golf driving range where guests can practice their handicaps at sea, and an inflatable FunAir rock climbing wall for the more adventurous ones.
Chasing Fun With The Tender Fleet
Thanks to the charter yacht's massive garage, BATELLO can house an impressive selection of tenders, each perfect for water-based adventures, performance, and comfortable journeys. One new addition is the new HCB 56 Suenos GIX chase boat. This luxury, large center console yacht is ideal for high performance, powered by its five Mercury V12 engines. It also features several dedicated fishing accessories, serving as a day boat for adventures.
Another new tender is the MasterCraft wakeboard boat, a specialist boat brand for wakeboarding, waterskiing, and wakesurfing. This is the go-to tender with excellent precision and torque for crew taking guests wanting to try their hand at any of the many watersports on offer.
Accompanying these two new tenders is the luxury 28' Windy, ideal to serve as a high-speed chase tender to a leisurely day boat, and two 28' Novurania Cats, versatile RIBs for multifunctional use aboard BATELLO. In addition to the tenders, there are also four brand-new Jet Skis, perfect for exploring any anchorage, coves, and bays throughout the Caribbean. The new FunAir Jet Ski dock ensures the Jet Skis are safely kept out of the way of guests enjoying the surrounding waters, and getting on and off them has never been easier.
A Floating Playground
Thanks to the refit, plenty more toys have been added to BATELLO's toy arsenal, providing something for all guests, both thrilling and relaxing moments during a yacht charter. For those who want exhilarating on-the-water action, the toy chest features toys like a Flyboard, Flite e-scooter, and E-foils, while the Seabobs and Sublue sea scooters are excellent for exploring the surrounding waters.
There are also more leisurely options to balance out the action, such as the stand-up paddleboards and kayaks for paddling around. While the two Tiwal sailing dinghies and surfboards are great for learning new tricks and exploring the waters. Traditional towing watersports are also catered for, with wakeboards, waterskis, and wake surf available. Extra excitement can be enjoyed thanks to the inflatable yacht slide and a selection of towables perfect for both children and adults alike.
Luxury Lounging Options
Lounging and relaxation have been thoughtfully considered just as much as fun playtime for a BATELLO charter experience. An exciting new addition since the refit is the 15-meter FunAir beach club sea pool, which significantly expands the yacht's leisure spaces and provides the ideal setting for relaxation and a platform for watersports.
To offer the same luxury ashore and provide more unique experiences, BATELLO also has a whole new host of equipment for beach setups, including loungers and beanbags. To create these comfortable spots, there are also gazebo tents, barbecues, dining tables, and chairs for beach alfresco dinner and picnic setups - excellent for secluded sandbars in the Bahamas or remote coves of the BVIs.
Back onboard, wellness areas such as the heated pool, dedicated spa facilities, and gym balance the fun and soothe tired watersports muscles after a day of playtime. Other relaxation touches have been included, such as the outdoor cinema screen for comfortable movie nights on deck.
An Endless Adventure Hub
Adding to the already extensive list of watersports toys are the fishing and diving opportunities onboard, creating the ultimate yachting sports and activity hub. The Charlie Whiskey chase boat is fully equipped for deep-sea fishing, providing effortless access to sought-after Caribbean fishing grounds. The professional-grade equipment, such as the Lindgren-Pitman electric reels and sportfishing gear, promises a fishing enthusiast the best day out on the water.
And, getting under the water, BATELLO has a range of scuba diving equipment onboard to explore the vibrant marine life beneath the surface. The onboard certified diving instructor is ready for any adventure at a moment's notice, ensuring safe and memorable dives.
Experience The Ultimate Caribbean Charter
Post refit BATELLO's revamp highlights its flexibility and appeal for a range of different groups. Each deck, toy, and sporting setup now provides incredible experiences for all, from adrenaline-fueled experiences to peaceful moments of downtime.
With charter availability still open for the upcoming Caribbean season, including a week over Thanksgiving, BATELLO invites you to enjoy the upgraded relaxation spaces, floating playground, and world-class toy and tender list.
