VICTORIA A Sailing yacht for charter

A superbly equipped Perini Navi sailing yacht in exceptional condition, the 43-metre (143ft) VICTORIA A is ready for action. She’s an excellent choice of yacht to charter for a racing event or superyacht regatta, but is also equally ideal for either a relaxing family cruising holiday or a more adventurous voyage. She is notably stable and sea-kindly, yet powerful under sail, and with her signature blue sails, curvaceous lines and classic hull colours of navy and white, she looks pretty as a picture in every port of call.

Designed to host 10 or 12 guests on board, she has generously proportioned social spaces and a versatile, flexible five-cabin layout in a timeless contemporary interior styled by Christian Liagre. Fine joinery of walnut and sycamore, accents of leather, touches of marble and crisp white linen combine with abundant natural light to create a clean aesthetic and a welcoming, smart-casual vibe. She comes with a highly skilled crew of seven, so premium quality and availability of service is always assured.

The main deck aft cockpit is an excellent indoor-outdoor space with sofas and armchairs around a big oval table, in ample shade, plus a sit-up bar. Enclosed or open to suit the weather, it’s a perfect place to lounge and relax or dine. The deckhouse is bright and airy with big windows all round. The lounge has long, angled sofas and a big TV; there’s a separate dining room, a study or games area, and a robust 4G satellite internet connection.

The master cabin has a king size bed, a marble en suite bathroom with a full size bathtub and plenty of storage space for all the clothes and kit you might wish to bring with you. The other guest cabins are two identical large doubles and two twins, both with an extra pullman berth. Each guest cabins has its own private en suite bathroom.

When you’re cruising along with the sails powered up, the sundeck is a great place to be. There’s a good choice of places to sit, lounge or snooze and the all-around views from here are superb. You’re close to the action as the crew work the yacht, but safely away from highly loaded winches and lines, and you can look straight up between the towering masts to check the set and trim of the sails.

Anchored off a beach or bay, she offers plenty of fun. There’s a 100hp RIB for wakeboarding, waterskiing and towable toys, a jet ski, a sailing dinghy, windsurfers, kayaks, snorkel and dive kit plus a compressor on board.
