Beneteau

Sleek and beautiful, ASOLARE (ex-SCHEHERAZADE) is a sensational sailing yacht, combining classic styling with cutting-edge technology and great stability. The perfect vessel for a romantic escape or an intimate family charter, her captain will always go the extra mile to ensure his guests have an unforgettable holiday.

Andrew Winch Designs envisaged her warm, bright interior, with sycamore and pale fabrics creating a relaxed, homely ambience in all guest areas. This graceful charter yacht is all about the detail, with over 350 intricate, hand-carved sea motifs adorning the furniture, and expertly crafted marquetry panels feature throughout, from the master cabin to the galley.

Walk into the upper salon and admire the view from large windows on three sides, flooding the area with natural light. Step down to the main salon and dining area - a cosy but sophisticated space with a television, deep sofas and a circular dining table on the starboard side. Two identical twin cabins are located forward of the saloon, on port and starboard sides, both with en suite bathrooms and televisions. The spacious master suite is accessed from the upper saloon and includes his and hers bathrooms and his and hers offices. His office is large and informal, with a corner sofa and a desk area. The master suite leads out to a cosy private cockpit where a couple can share champagne on ice or an after-dinner digestif beneath the bimini.

Head forwards to the dual helm cockpit with its large, comfortable seating area and two foldaway tables for al fresco dining. The cockpit is protected by a bimini for shade, and retractable weather panels shield guests from the wind, without obstructing the view. Lie back on a sun lounger, glance up at the sails and feel the incomparable romance of a luxury sailing charter.
