Complete interior transformation in 2021

Masterfully designed by the award-winning Patrick Knowles, her new interior portrays a chic modern beach house with bespoke details incorporated throughout.

ALTA is a sophisticated and luxurious yacht crafted by the premier shipyard, Palmer Johnson. She underwent an extensive refit completed in December 2021, led by award-winning superyacht designer Patrick Knowles. This remarkable transformation embraces the essence of a modern beach house, blending timeless elegance with contemporary flair.

No detail was overlooked in this ambitious redesign. Every owner and guest area was reimagined with bespoke finishes, elegant stonework, and custom-crafted furniture to maximize comfort and aesthetic appeal. From the expansive main aft deck to the stylish sky lounge, sun deck, and stern beach club, each space reflects a meticulous attention to detail. The refit also included an added crew cabin, enhancing service capabilities to ensure a seamless and indulgent guest experience.

Technically and functionally, ALTA received comprehensive upgrades across the board—including new plumbing, lighting systems, hardware, smart controls, and a complete overhaul of the audio-visual experience. One standout design element is the personalized touch found in each of the four guest suites: each entry door is embroidered with the name of a legendary explorer, adding a sense of adventure and individuality to your stay.

ALTA offers superbly flexible accommodations ideal for a range of charter groups. She features three king staterooms and two convertible staterooms that can be configured as either king beds or twin singles. The master suite, located on the main deck, includes a private study, dual sofa seating areas, and spacious wardrobe space. A sixth bonus stateroom in the sky lounge provides additional flexibility, perfect for children, a supernumerary, or an extra adult guest, accommodating up to 12 guests in total.

The expansive sun deck offers a cool, shaded aft area that is perfect for evening al fresco dining under the stars. ALTA’s unique design includes a versatile lazarette and aft platform that serve as a dedicated recreation zone. The innovative swim platform features retractable stairs for effortless access to the water, making it easy for guests of all ages to enjoy aquatic adventures.

From lively gatherings to peaceful relaxation, ALTA is designed to offer guests separate spaces to unwind and indulge. Whether it’s enjoying a gourmet lunch, savoring dinner on deck, soaking in the jacuzzi, or lounging with loved ones while taking in breathtaking views, every moment aboard ALTA is a celebration of life at sea.

Charter Client
"Hello Captain, I just spoke to my client, he said it was an excellent charter, not one single complaint. The food and service were top notch! They had an excellent 8 nights onboard and may book again next summer in the Med.. He just wants the dust to settle a bit before pitching it to the family. Cheers and I really enjoyed working with you Iain, you are a top-notch captain! "

Charter Broker
"This charter experience exceeded our expectations by a considerable margin in every way. The answer to all your questions is "5+". Captain and crew were highly professional, yet accessible, fun to be with and friendly. They were always immaculately groomed and in clean uniforms. I am, I admit, "aesthetically aware". Political correctness aside, I like slim, trim, handsome, clean-shaven, tattoo-free young people. This crew was as if selected by central casting for a 1970s movie. I loved it. The food prepared by the chef was international top tier, and my family, being culturally half- European, appreciated it a lot. Service was 110% at all times. It was never "Yes, just a minute, please." It was always "Gladly! Of course! Right away!" I'll never figure out how those three girls did the laundry, creative table settings, serving, cleaning, cabin make-up, flower arrangements, bar tending, etc...never late, never in a rush....it all just happened. All water toys worked at all times, were perfectly set up, cleaned before and after use. The Captain deserves a lot of credit: he appears to be quietly demanding and runs a brilliant ship. I can't imagine that there is a better-run yacht in the world."

Charter Client
"We cannot say enough good things about the yacht, the crew and the charter. The boat is beautiful; the décor is prefect; there is ‘almost’ to many water toys; on and on. We will happily be a reference for the yacht, the crew and the Captain. We wish them much success this charter season (just reserve a week in Aug. for us). Please pass this message along to the owner … he has a winner on his hands."
