ARTISAN

Life at Sea Level The beach club opens onto fold-down terraces, so the stern works as a waterside lounge instead of a loading dock for the tender. At-anchor stabilizers cut the roll when the yacht is stopped, which is when most of the lounging happens. A sea pool lets swimmers get in without negotiating with the local jellyfish.

The Toy List Runs Long Jet skis, Seabobs, an eFoil, paddleboards, kayaks, towables and a waterslide, so nobody has to queue for the one good toy. A 44ft Open Fjord chase boat comes along too, which means shore runs and toy shuttles do not tie up the yacht. Not a quiet stern.

Rooms Set Off Axis Bannenberg & Rowell rotated the main saloon, upper saloon and beach club lounge by 30 degrees, so the windows frame the view at an angle rather than lining it up like a hotel corridor. The upper saloon adds a grand piano and bar for the after-dinner crowd.

Twelve Guests, Kids Welcome She sleeps 12, with a children's playroom and a main deck cabin that adjoins a smaller room suited to a nanny or a massage setup. Best for families who want the kids within earshot and the toys within reach.
