A brand-new 112m yacht, RENAISSANCE is a temple of leisure, a sanctum of tranquillity, conceived to delight an unprecedented 36 guests on a hither-to unknown scale. From her vast beach club, open on three sides for that life-affirming connection to the ocean, to her matchless spa, an entire deck devoted to fitness, wellness and pampering, this is a yacht that elevates the already extraordinary.

Whether you land by air on the foredeck helipad or by sea in a fleet of custom tenders, you’ll know you’ve arrived. Her guest accommodation is uniquely flexible, including doubles, twins and cabins that convert into suites, welcoming parties of all kinds with consummate ease. An elevator serving all decks makes her the perfect choice – indeed the only choice – for large, multi-generational groups.

If you’ve something to celebrate, no yacht delivers as completely as RENAISSANCE. She has open-air dining on five decks, as well as a spectacular double-height dining room on the main deck that adds a sense of theatre. Two of the al fresco options have BBQs for that special ‘chef’s table’ experience.

The main deck aft has two bars for all-day refreshment: one is also a sushi bar and the other has a pizza oven for relaxed all-day dining on lazy days around the huge pool. By night, the bars on the bridge and main decks convert into DJ stations for unforgettable entertainment while the lower deck cinema seating 19 guests is the place for that blockbuster experience.

Her spa deck is a revelation. The fitness centre has a vast gym with an equipment list that would amaze an elite athlete. There’s a ballet bar and mirror for stretches and yoga areas inside and out. After dipping into hot and cold plunge pools, unwinding in the steam room and sauna and sitting on the balcony with its ocean views, you have two treatment rooms, hair and beauty salons too.

The beach club is a destination in itself. As well as an armada of all the latest watertoys to keep guests entertained, there is a bar, a cosy waterside dining area and several lounging areas so you could easily spend all day here if you wished.

On the private owner’s deck, a palatial 60sqm (646sqft) stateroom has commanding views, there are his-and-hers walk-in wardrobes, his-and-hers bathrooms, both with side deck access, a media room and a lounge with bar and private dining. On the private terrace forward there is a jacuzzi for six, sun loungers and lounge seating, while you can host private dinner parties for up to 12 guests on the aft deck.

This matchless charter yacht, the incomparable RENAISSANCE, is aptly named too, as she is a one-yacht revival of the very best of all charter experiences.
