How a refit transformed the 70m charter yacht Force Blue

The sky’s the limit for popular charter yacht Force Blue following a transformative refit that has made her even more desirable, learns Risa Merl.

As I approach the recently refitted 70.6-metre explorer yacht Force Blue , moored alongside the historic port of Nice, France, the dance of charter guest changeover is in full swing. The yacht’s crane flies overhead with a sizeable pallet of provisions, which is deftly lowered onto the ample working foredeck while the tenders are being stowed, decks washed and stainless steel shined. 

Force Blue has just disembarked guests who spent eight weeks on board, and her crew is busy getting ready for new charterers arriving that very evening. She’s been consistent in attracting charter business, but this latest refit – which included a seven-metre stern extension, updated interiors and added performance – aims to make her even more desirable.

“The key to the refit was to refresh the yacht and improve her charter capabilities,” says Force Blue ’s long-time captain, Ferdinando Tarquini. The previous summer, pre-refit, she racked up 13-plus weeks of charter, which she is set to easily surpass this year – it’s only halfway through the Mediterranean season when I step on board, and she’s already booked 12 weeks. As the captain tells me, the owners have yet to spend an extended period on board themselves since the refit. What mattered most was to maximise her charter potential.

Force Blue has a long and rich history. She was launched by Royal Denship in 2002 as 63.3-metre Big Roi to a design by Tom Fexas and Ole Steen Knudsen with original interiors by Ole Rune Design and Christensen & Rottbell . She had a subsequent redesign and several refits of varying degrees over the years. However, with tastes and habits evolving, this burly expedition vessel was due for a rethink of how she could best be used, lived in, and appreciated by her many return charter clients.

With a lofty bow, an open forward deck storing a wealth of tenders and toys and a Portuguese-style bridge, Force Blue is clearly fit for exploration. And she has an 8,000-nautical mile range to back it up. The refit, which was carried out at the Lusben yard, aimed to maintain the exterior attributes that make her exceptionally seaworthy – such as her high bulwarks – while slightly toning down her workboat looks.

“The brief was to add a new transom and to deviate from the trawler-expedition style, for which we suggested painting the deckhouse in black and removing the fashion plates,” says Gianluca Sist, H2 Yacht Design ’s design director. “ Force Blue ’s [new] exterior has the essence of a traditional yacht while showcasing a more contemporary style and details.”

The full effects of Force Blue ’s extension are best appreciated from the stern. A voluptuous cascade of stairs, leading down to a massive swim platform that wraps around on either side, has replaced a formerly flat transom. This has enhanced her aesthetics, functional capabilities and performance all at once. Pre-refit, a transom door folded down to create a small swim platform. “Now, when boarding Force Blue , the guests are welcomed by the grand staircase, which leads them to the main deck,” says Sist. 

The main deck has also benefited from the extension. Captain Tarquini says the aft deck felt rather cramped before, a mere mezzanine. With two L-shaped settees and plenty of floorspace to spare, the new aft deck is an area worthy of greeting guests before they enter the main saloon.

One suggestion from the captain was to wrap the swim platform around the sides, making room for her two new tenders to tie up while leaving the aft open for guests to sunbathe or slip into the sea for a swim. When shaded with umbrellas and scattered with seating, the massive swim platform becomes the ideal al fresco beach club.

“The whole stern of the yacht is redefined, creating an exceptional open lounging and sunbathing area at sea level,” says Daniela De Marco, Fraser’s head of charter management Europe, which represents Force Blue for charter. “This fantastic new space connects directly to the yacht’s well-being area to offer an incredible space for relaxation and pampering, and also offers direct access to the water to jump straight from treatment to the sea.”

Indeed, the beach club leads directly into the spa, which is the pièce de résistance on board. Or, as Captain Tarquini describes it, “the pearl of the yacht.” Many yachts today have spas, but the one on Force Blue is more akin to something you’d find in a luxury resort on land. It is inspired by wellness brand Chenot from Switzerland and offers Chenot Method spa treatments. “Even the therapist is Chenot-trained,” says Tarquini. Force Blue has a full-time therapist on board who oversees the spa and gym.

Candles line the black-tiled walls of the spa, ushering visitors into a realm of relaxation. There is a hair styling and make-up room, a separate massage room, a hammam and an “emotional shower”. On either side of the shower are alcoves with Chenot-derived pieces of speciality spa kit: a heated table used for mud wraps and a hydrotherapy bath for improved circulation and jet lag recovery. Stairs from the saloon lead directly to the spa, so it is easily accessible and can be enjoyed even when underway.

Aside from the grand staircase, a second guest entrance, predominantly used when the yacht is moored alongside, is a main deck portside lobby that doubles as a lounge or casual dining room. “We created a new lounge area on the main deck, close to the formal dining room (which also acts as a conference room), with a beautiful corner sofa in blue velvet, designed by me for this project, where guests can have dinner in a cosier space,” says Michele Bönan , who was tasked with Force Blue ’s new interiors.

The lobby-cum-lounge is looked over by a piece of art by Peter Beard – an abstract background overlaid with a portrait of cheetah cubs. The art on board is a melange of nature shots, 3D abstract pieces and scenes of Monaco. Off the lobby is a straight set of stairs leading down to the lower deck accommodation, a spiral staircase leading up to the owner’s deck and a lift that takes guests from the main deck all the way up to the sundeck.

The owner’s brief for the interior was for Bönan to create a sophisticated and elegant interior in line with the history and shape of the boat. This included upscaling the interiors as well as improving the functionality of some areas on board, such as widening the gym entrance or creating a small pantry close to the outdoor bar on the pilothouse deck.

“The owner wanted all the spaces on the boat, even when they are a working space or a back-of-the-house space for crew, to maintain the luxury interior standards of the rest of the yacht,” Bönan says. Above all, he wanted to create a place where charter guests would feel at home. “We worked on the refit with this thought: we would like for each client who does a charter to feel like they are the owner of the boat.”

The general arrangement remained intact, so the challenge was designing within the constraints of the boat as it was. “Working on an existing layout and trying to do a refit quickly to high standards is always the biggest challenge,” the designer says. Bönan has designed a Sanlorenzo 44Alloy as well as boats for Leonardo Ferragamo. He’s an admirer of classic yachts himself and is the proud owner of a 1963 Benetti . This appreciation and experience helped him create the classically inspired interior on Force Blue and improve the yacht’s functionality.

The interior design blends classical materials and patterns, adorned in mahogany, striped wallpaper and Carrara marble finishes. The colour palette reflects a blue-and-white marine theme with some red accents, mixed with natural materials such as the raffia used for headboards in the bedrooms.

“We have the luxury of Dedar fabrics, and a touch of timeless elegance is added by the glossy mahogany wood used for the furniture,” says Bönan, who designed many of the furnishings and materials, including the nautically chic striped carpets. Tables in the main saloon come from Unopiù’s C’est La Vie Collection – with their glossy mahogany finishes, they fit perfectly with the overall design ethos. The wall lamps in guest cabins have been custom designed by Bönan and produced by the Italian company Estro. “The final aim was to add my personal touch as much as possible, designing and creating ad hoc pieces, always using Italian brands and artisans,” he says.

All the guest cabins and their en suites have been redesigned and feature new upholstery, new carpets and new blinds. Some of them were reconfigured as well, for instance the lower deck VIP cabin. Here the bed was moved to port to allow for a partial dividing wall to offset the bedroom from a lounge area with a convertible sofa. “So it can be two kids [in the bed] and a nanny in the lounge, or a couple and their child,” says Tarquini. 

In the bathroom, a soaking tub replaced the former Jacuzzi bath. Spanning the entire beam, the VIP cabin is a worthy rival for the master stateroom two decks above, which is ideal for the boat.

“We often get two families chartering at once and are popular with dual charterers,” says Tarquini. The starboard side twin cabin – one of four other guest cabins on the lower deck – was also augmented so the twin beds can be converted to a king-size bed.

Besides a full-beam bathroom and bedroom, the owners’ domain on their dedicated deck encapsulates a private lobby, expansive saloon and a cinema with seven leather-clad reclining chairs. The saloon has a working fireplace to create a cosy atmosphere on colder days. While there is a formal dining room on the main deck, Tarquini says that this saloon is a popular place for dining with the addition of a table for six, which can be extended to 12.

Captain Tarquini, who has worked on Force Blue since 2005, stayed on board when the yacht’s ownership changed and served as build captain during the refit. “It’s a love affair,” he says of his longevity on Force Blue . “The owner said, ‘You’ve been the captain for 16 years – you tell me what should be changed.’” 

Besides the wraparound swim platform, the captain also suggested new stabilisers and updating the audiovisual equipment and Wi-Fi, to name a few more technical items. There was a concern that the new swim platform and stern shape would impede the yacht’s performance, “but actually, it improved performance – we gained at least a knot of speed,” Tarquini says.

Refits can often dredge up hidden problems in a yacht’s build, but, fortunately in Force Blue ’s case, the extension was relatively smooth sailing. Tarquini attributes that to the fact that the yacht has been well-maintained over the years, and was well-built to begin with. The main challenge was in supply-chain issues slowing down the part deliveries. But despite this, the build was completed on time, beginning in October 2021 and wrapping up seven months later. The team at Lusben, says Tarquini, was a pleasure to work with. “They are really accurate and really present,” he says, noting that daily meetings, reports and an overall sense of proactivity helped make the refit process as smooth as possible.

The owners were reportedly satisfied with the refit, but Tarquini says that they are already looking for new ideas for the next charter season to help Force Blue retain her reign as a highly coveted charter yacht, such as updating the ample toy box annually. Twenty years on, Force Blue looks to have a bright future.

Our charter yacht was nearly new and well maintained. VCY was responsive whenever we had questions during our charter as well. Highly recommended!

"Best vacation we have ever taken!"

VCY was fantastic!! They answered every question, helped with all the travel details. Booked us taxis to and from the airport and even got us reservations for a special birthday dinner. We will absolutely be back!

"Exceptional Experience with 1st Class Crew!"

Highly recommend this organization… they were even able to accommodate a last minute itinerary change due to tropical storm “Beryl”!

Virgin motor yachts lined us up with a great Captain and assisted with all the details in preparation. I am already planning to come back in November.

Our 3rd year with Virgin Motor Yachts and we are starting to plan our trip for next year. An excellent vacation covering 7 islands over the 10 days.

"Search No Further VCY Is It!"

If I were to write everything good about our experience with VCY…I would need another week on their CAT on the BVI!

From the planning stage to last day of our trip, we could not have asked for any better experience. Alexia and crew were wonderful to deal with.

16 Yacht Charters That Make for a Strangely Affordable Family Vacation

Posted: December 11, 2023 | Last updated: December 12, 2023

While a yacht may be the first thing that pops to mind when you think of the ultra-wealthy, chartering one might not be as expensive as you think. When you're splitting the costs between several family members or friends you are paying for transportation and stay and it can make sense financially.

You can also  keep money in your wallet  by selecting an older vessel or taking charge of sailing yourself (hiring a crew always costs extra).

So let’s take a look at options that may be within reach for people who aren’t living paycheck to paycheck but aren’t brunching with the Kardashians either.

Editor's note: prices are subject to change and may vary depending on the time of the year.

Earn Points and Miles: Find the best travel credit card for nearly free travel

San Antonio motor yacht

The San Antonio is a luxury motor yacht measuring 146 feet in length that was built in 2018. This huge vessel is capable of accommodating 36 guests in 18 cabins.

The cost to charter it starts at $21,000 per week plus expenses, not including a crew of eight (which we recommend).

Divide the cost by capacity, and that’s only $583 per person per week to start. That’s practically unbeatable for a boat of this size, allowing you to make other savvy moves with your money .

Get expert advice on making more money - sent straight to your inbox.

Virginia Mia motor yacht

Constructed in 2001 (with several subsequent refits), the Virginia Mia is another luxury motor yacht that’s 95 feet in length.

Custom-designed by Nuvolari Lenard, this vessel can sleep eight guests in four cabins as well as an additional crew of four.

Still, thanks to the age of the yacht, the cost of chartering starts at $15,000 plus expenses per week, or just under $2,000 per guest sans crew.

Nautilus sailing yacht

White motor yachts are convenient and luxe, sailing yachts promise a more traditional experience.

At nearly 125 feet, the Nautilus is a large option styled by Robert Delus. Built in 2008, it sleeps 10 guests in five cabins. At this size, you'll likely need a crew of six.

The cost to charter this beauty starts at $17,500 per week sans expenses, again just under $2,000 per person — which really isn't bad for all you're getting.

Grow Your $$: 11 brilliant ways to build wealth after 40

Aegean Clipper sailing yacht

The Aegean Clipper is another sailing vessel, this one built all the way back in 1999 — which translates into cost savings for you.

The yacht is another biggie at nearly 135 feet. With 11 cabins, the boat can accommodate up to 24 guests plus five crew members as needed.

In total, your group will have to shell out a minimum of $13,000 plus expenses per week — just over $379 per person. That's a great deal, comparatively speaking.

Silver Fox expedition yacht

If you're looking for something a little smaller that can go the distance, the Silver Fox expedition yacht might be for you.

Built in 2009, the 72-foot yacht accommodates six guests in three cabins for a more intimate experience. There's room for a crew of two if you need their expertise.

With a starting cost of $16,500 per week, the Silver Fox will run each person over $2,700 per week, but the small group may be worth it.

Tivoli expedition yacht

Traveling with a group of the same size but want more length and a bigger crew?

The Tivoli expedition yacht, constructed in 2001 and remodeled in 2010, can fit four crew members. This stunner is just over 90 feet long and can take you on those long hauls.

Yes, it will cost more at $25,000 per week, or over $4,100 per person. But if you can afford it, it’s a dream come true out on the open water.

Retire Sooner: Take this quiz to see if you can retire early

Shangri-La classic yacht

Classics are classics for a reason, as they stand the test of time. Such is the case with the Shangri-La, a vintage yacht sure to take you to that magical place.

This vessel sleeps six in three cabins and promises to be child-friendly. The Shangri-La was constructed way back in 1965, and it is 82 feet long with space for three crew members.

A week on this rig will cost you $16,500, or just over $2,700 a pop.

Sai Kung classic yacht

Another vintage beauty, the Sai Kung classic yacht was born in 1975 and got a makeover in 2015. That updated this 79-foot vessel that can sleep nine people in four cabins.

Be sure you’re a nautical whiz, as there’s no room for additional crew here, but that will only save you money.

All told, the Sai Kung will set your group back $17,500 per week, just under $2,000 per person.

Glorious open yacht

Outdoor yachts are designed for those who truly want to live outside, which you can do easily on the Glorious.

This sporty 72-footer is ready to help you dive, scuba, and more, with room for six guests in three cabins. You can bring a crew of two for extra help, of course.

Built in 2007 and remodeled nine years later, chartering the Glorious will run you $16,500 per week, again $2,700 per person.

9 nearly secret things to do if you fly Southwest

Speedy T open yacht

Looking for a bigger open yacht that’s perfect for swim buffs? Charter the Speedy T, a vessel that’s 80 feet long and primed for dips in refreshing ocean waters.

Like many of the yachts on this list, it accommodates six guests in three cabins and has room for three crew members.

All told, one week on this sleek ship — built in 1994 and renovated in 2011 — is $19,500 before expenses, translating to $3,250 per head. But the adventure promises to be unforgettable.

Etoile Magique catamaran yacht

With extra stability even at higher speeds, catamaran yachts like the Etoile Magique are great options for adventure.

This 80-foot vessel is roomy for its size, with room for 16 guests in eight cabins. There’s space for a three-person crew, too.

Constructed in 2004 and remodeled a decade later, this is a budget-friendly adventure in the making. At $18,710 per week before expenses, that shakes out to a bit over $1,100 apiece.

Fuerte 3 catamaran yacht

Meaning “strong” in Spanish, the Fuerte 3 catamaran yacht — built in 2004 and renovated in 2010 — offers a more intimate experience than the Etoile Magique, with space for nine guests in four cabins.

On the smaller side, at 67 feet, you can bring two crew members along if you need them. The price tag for one week is around $22,000, or just over $2,400 a pop. This vessel is best in shallower waters.

Astrape sport fishing yacht

If your idea of the perfect vacation is sport fishing, this boat is for you. The Astrape sport fishing yacht comes with top-of-the-line fishing equipment so you can catch your dream fish.

Built in 2008 and remodeled in 2016, the 76-foot vessel sleeps eight in four cabins. It also has room for three crew members.

On the pricier side at $29,000, a week will cost each person nearly $3,700 — worth it if you can show off that once-in-a-lifetime catch, though!

Barefoot sport fishing yacht

Giving us some real Orca energy, the Barefoot sport fishing yacht was built in 2006 — much later than that famed vessel from "Jaws."

The 64-foot boat is designed for fishing in shallower waters, perfect for you and five friends who will share three cabins. Two crew members can fit, too.

This yacht is cheaper than the Astrape at $17,500, so six folks will pay just under $3,000 a head per week.

Prenses Lila gulet yacht

Gulet yachts are known for their tall masts, ample deck space, and Turkish origins — perfect for a Mediterranean voyage.

To that end, the Prenses Lila is an excellent option for groups of 18. At 114 feet with eight cabins and space for five crew members, this boat beckons.

You can charter Prenses Lila — built in 2009 and remodeled in 2009 — for $17,500 per week in September.

Dreamland gulet yacht

The second gulet yacht and the final boat we’re covering is Dreamland, which will surely take you there. 

Constructed in 2006, 12 guests can sleep in six suites on this 105-foot vessel as well as five crew members.

You can book Dreamland for around $26,000 in high season. Divide that by 12, and you land on about $2,200 per person. That might require some financial fitness , but yachts like this don’t come around every day.

Bottom line

Spending your days sunning and swimming aboard a luxurious yacht may seem like an out-of-reach proposition, but we’re here to tell you it’s possible.

In fact, with planning and savvy budgeting, you can score your dream seafaring adventure. You can even use your favorite credit card to book and earn travel rewards .

Traveling by charter yacht is also more environmentally friendly than flying, which means you can feel good about your sailing vacation.

No boat? No problem. Here's how to get on the water even if you don't own a boat.

Rhode Island, with 400 miles of coastline , is called the Ocean State, but getting on the water can be difficult, unless you own a boat, or have a good friend or relative who owns one.

Here are some tips for getting on the water without marrying into a family of boaters:

What's the best way to rent a boat in Rhode Island?

Wickford Boat Rentals has more than a dozen boats ranging from 19 to 36 feet, both power boats and sailboats. Daily and extended rentals are available.

The business requires renters to demonstrate they're qualified to handle a boat on their own. "We vet them pretty heavily," said owner David Fetherston.

Do you need training to drive a boat in RI?

For those who haven't had training, lessons are available through Wickford's In-Command Seamanship Training program. Wickford also offers charters with a "captain on board who will take you on a carefree excursion around Rhode Island’s beautiful coastline."

Rental costs vary depending on the size of the boat and the rental period. For example, smaller boats rent for about $295 for a half day and $395 for a full day. The larger boats rent for about $745 to $945. Repeat renters can get discounts by joining Wickford's Captain's Club.

Wickford Rentals also offers chartered trips aboard its Sabre 36 Express, Lorelei. The charter includes a captain and crew member and costs $1,550 plus gas for a half day, $2,250 plus gas for a full day.

Renting kayaks in Rhode Island

Kayaks require less training and boating knowledge than powerboats and sailboats. They may also provide the easiest and least expensive access to water.

Several businesses in Rhode Island offer kayak rentals. The Kayak Centre in Wickford rents several different types of kayaks, including pedal kayaks. A single recreational kayak rents for $37 for two hours and $53 for four hours. The business also rents out standup paddle boards, $42 for two hours, $58 for four hours.

The business rents kayaks out of two locations, Wickford and Charlestown. Reservations must be made in advance. The Kayak Centre also offers lessons, tours and kayak fishing.

Or, if you're in the Providence area, Providence Kayak rents single and tandem kayaks in the heart of downtown and in Lincoln Woods. Rentals start at $20 for 45 minutes.

What are boat clubs and how do you join one in RI?

Freedom Boat Club , which has six Rhode Island locations, offers an option between renting and owning. The club requires a down payment and monthly dues. The standard entry fee is $7,999, but the club often offers new-member promotions at a reduced joining fee. Monthly dues range from $349 to $429, according to Michelle Voss, a company spokeswoman.

In addition to its locations in Wakefield, North Kingstown, Warwick, Newport, Barrington and Portsmouth, Freedom Boat Club has more than 400 locations across North America, Europe and Australia.

"A major benefit to membership is that members not only have unlimited access to their home club fleet of boats, but reciprocal access to enjoy any of our locations worldwide," Voss said. "Many of our members plan their travel based on where we have locations."

Freedom requires members to pass a written exam and on-the-water training, which is covered by the membership cost.

Gondola rides in Providence offer unique sightseeing opportunities from the water

Probably the most famous and most romantic way to get on the water in Rhode Island is to take a gondola river ride with La Gondola Providence.

Owner Matthew "Marcello" Haynes has four gondolas available to take guests through downtown Providence on the Providence and Woonasquatucket rivers. Reservations aren't required but are advised, Haynes said.

La Gondola Providence offers a variety of trip types. The Sogni, the original and "still the most popular," costs $89 for two people on a 40-minute private ride. It "includes an ice bucket, glasses, and opener (BYOB), handmade Italian wine biscuits, and a little singing from your gondolier." Your gondolier would be happy to point out the sights and answer questions during the trip."

La Gondola Providence also offers half-hour trips during WaterFire that cost $299 for up to six guests.

A classic sailing cruise out of Newport is another great boating option

Another option that lets someone else do the piloting or sailing is a sightseeing trip out of Newport. Newport Classic Cruises offers rides on sailboats and a motor yacht called Rum Runner II.

The Rum Runner II was built during Prohibition for use in the rumrunner trade, according to Newport Classic Cruises. "Relive the speed and thrill of the chase of the smuggler boats from the days of Prohibition."

Trips on the Rum Runner II cost $45 for adults, $42 for seniors and $35 for children.

Newport Classic Cruises also offers charters on sailboats.
