How To Spend A Yacht Charter Day Aboard VICTORIOUS
On some charter yachts, the day revolves around where you are and where you are going, but aboard the 278'10"(85m) VICTORIOUS, the yacht itself is just as exciting as the destination. The yacht has been designed around the idea that a charter can easily feel different from one hour to the next.
With space for wellness, adventure, family time, entertaining, socializing, as well as quieter corners for downtime, VICTORIOUS offers the perfect base. Accommodating 12 guests and looked after by a crew of 24, here is how one day aboard VICTORIOUS may look:
7:00 am: A Private Start
Beginning on the private Owner’s Deck, the yacht here feels like a secluded retreat of its own. Opening directly onto a private aft terrace, complete with a Jacuzzi and sunbathing areas, it is an ideal space to slowly start the day.
For a group chartering the yacht, this sense of privacy is particularly essential; while there are plenty of opportunities to spend time together, there are equally generous spaces to go when you want time alone.
8:30 am: Wellness By The Water
Heading down to VICTORIOUS’s 2,153 sq ft (200 sqm) beach club and wellness center is a great start to any morning. The space combines a fully equipped gym with a Hammam, massage room and beauty salon, alongside a swimming pool, sea terraces, lounge areas and a bar. A perfect way to begin the morning with a workout followed by a Hammam session, treatment or a simple dip in the water before enjoying breakfast.
10:30 am: Diving Into The Water
After a delicious chef-prepared breakfast of your choice, by late morning the beach club provides direct access to the sea and the yacht’s extensive collection of water toys. Take the SeaBobs along the coastline, head out on a jet ski, try your hand on an electric Fliteboard, and with paddleboards and kayaks also available there are plenty of quieter ways to explore.
With so many watersports options available, everyone can choose their own. Some may prefer a relaxing morning and to take it easy, while others may chase speed and an adrenaline hit first thing. VICTORIOUS also carries three tenders, including the 11m NIMBUS T11, providing plenty of flexibility for exploring further afield or heading ashore. To capture the watersports action, there is a drone on board, so the crew can provide you with endless memories to also take home.
1:00 pm: A Long Leisurely Lunch
After a morning on the water, it is the perfect time to slow the pace down. VICTORIOUS’s outdoor spaces are made for long lunches, with al fresco dining for up to 16 guests, a sit-down bar, a Jacuzzi and extensive areas for lounging.
And when one part of the group is ready to move on from a relaxing lunch, there is no need for everyone to do the same. The yacht's scale means different guests can naturally find their own space.
3:00 pm: An Afternoon For All
By the afternoon, the charter yacht comes into her own, especially as a family yacht. Younger guests have their own dedicated playroom, while the tiered private cinema provides somewhere to settle down for a film.
Meanwhile, adults can return to the beach club, enjoy a treatment or simply find a quiet spot on deck. This flexibility makes the yacht particularly well suited to multigenerational groups. There is plenty to bring everyone together, but there’s also space for guests to spend time independently.
5:00 pm: Watch The World Go By
By this point in the day you may have had enough sun; aboard VICTORIOUS, the observation lounge offers the perfect place to hang out for a quieter change of pace. With wraparound views and a baby grand piano, it is a natural place to pause before the evening begins.
Sit back with a drink, listen to music or simply watch the coastline change as the yacht heads towards the evening's anchorage. After a day filled with activity, sometimes the best part of the yacht is simply having somewhere comfortable to sit and take in the view.
7:30 pm: Dinner Under The Stars
As evening arrives, the outdoor spaces take on a different character. Dinner can be served alfresco, followed by drinks at the sit-down bar or a dip in the Jacuzzi. With extensive lounging areas, you don't need to move inside once the sun goes down. The crew of 24 ensures a seamless transition from afternoon to evening, so you can really focus on enjoying your time without thinking about anything else.
10:00 pm: An Evening To Yourself
There is no set way to finish the day aboard VICTORIOUS. For some, the evening might continue in the sophisticated wine and cigar club, where a wine cellar, humidor, working fireplace, lounge areas and outdoor terrace create an intimate setting for a nightcap. For others, it might be a late-night film in the private cinema, a final swim or simply sitting outside beneath the stars.
And that is one of VICTORIOUS's best and most defining features: time can unfold however you wish. From a morning spent in the wellness center to an afternoon on the water and a relaxed dinner under the stars, the yacht offers enough space and variety for every guest to create their own version of a perfect day.
