Catalog excerpts

A destination herself, Pelorus’ vast interior volume provides unequalled levels of comfort and visual delight from Terry Disdale’s eclectic palette of naturals. A WONDER OF CONTEMporary shapes, Pelorus is retro in her proportions – her long open decks more reminiscent of sleek ocean liners of the 1930s and ’40s than the profiles of modern 300-foot-plus yachts. Pelorus, says Heywood, could have had more decks, more cabins and salons, but that isn’t the point. A certain lifestyle designed for relaxation is. Pelorus offers blissful accommodations for 22 in the owner’s party, plus five staff cabins and quarters for up to 40 crew. The enormous appeal of the self-contained resort concept is obvious in the fact that the yacht ’s original owner received six offers on the yacht before she was completed. One of those offers, as the saying goes, couldn’t be refused and might even have been predicted since it came from a person who had once purchased the original owner’s previous boat, 162-foot Sussurro. It’s no coincidence that Terry Disdale designed the interiors of both. While the boat appears casual, she delivers a level of service as far above first class as clouds are above the panorama lounge. A sophisticated system of stairs, passageways, escape routes and pantry or staging areas allow crew or staff to appear in a room as if by magic rather than as if they had just run the length of a football field. The layout of Pelorus is fresh, even novel in large yacht design. Accommodations are not clustered on a single lower deck; instead they are strategically placed through four decks to afford greater privacy to the owner, VIPs and visiting families. Such a layout also allows Pelorus to offer the coziness of a much smaller yacht if CONTINUED FROM COVER FOLDOUT The panoramic lounge demonstrates the interplay of textures with everything from leather, to rope, to banana leaves, iron, lacquer, stones, and chenille.

A large part of Pelorus’ charm is her disarming interior décor and the way interior and exterior spaces flow almost seamlessly. In fact, there are no abrupt changes from one space to another anywhere on the yacht, thanks to wide, gallery-type SHOWBOATS INTERNATIONAL July 2004 corridors and intriguing anterooms leading to all the major social areas. The yacht is all the more elegant because rooms do not open directly onto other rooms. “The philosophy of the boat is complete relaxation. Despite its size, it’s not about volume or display,” says Disdale. “The

I had a very free hand with the interior – there’s more of my design ideas in this boat than any other and as such it was a very creative process for me.” From her rough oak and slate floors to woven banana leaf ceilings, all surfaces and furnishings – apart from a couple of chairs – were designed by Disdale and made especially for Pelorus.

The 115-meter megayacht Pelorus, delivered in 2003, has earned a reputation for extraordinary grandeur as well as innovation. Her profile is marked by a high sheer line, giving her a powerful presence. The exterior design by Tim Heywood incorporates the four lower decks within the hull, a creative solution that allows a full-beam floor layout. Her interior has an atmosphere of beach-chic at sea, using natural materials and exotic textures. Outstanding features of Terence Disdale’s design include several terraces with doors that open out of the side of the hull for an indoor/outdoor experience that allows guests to feel truly at one with the sea.

Yachts for sale

She was originally commissioned by a Saudi Arabian as a replacement for Coral Island. He loved the finished product but, when made an offer that was too good to refuse, sold her to the Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich. David Geffen bought her in May 2011. The yacht is the work of two internationally known designers: Tim Heywood, who drew the superstructure and working areas, and Terence Disdale, who created an interior that revels in the informal atmosphere of a beachside villa. This yacht has everything: two helicopter pads, a swimming pool with artificial current, a spa pool, and an owner’s suite with 180-degree panoramic views that opens to a private deck. The quality of the engineering is stunning, with many of the systems, including the bowthruster, being provided with a back-up, while the control of all propulsion units is united in a ‘Lipstick’ that allows a single joystick to precisely manoeuvre the yacht. The vessel is managed by 46 crew, including seven engineers and five personal staff.

How to Yacht Charter

Chartering a yacht can open up a world of possibilities and allows access to distant oceans, extraordinary wildlife, secluded islands and unique experiences. If you are new to yacht charter, understanding how yachting differs from other forms of travel is the first step in getting you underway. Below, our yachting experts have compiled a list of FAQ’s to help you better understand yacht charter with Pelorus.

Our Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance do I need to enquire?

We recommend you contact our Charter team 6 - 10 months in advance for peak times such as Christmas, New Year and high summer season (July and August). For more complex yacht charters in remote locations such as Antarctica and the Arctic, we suggest getting in touch at least 12 months in advance as we may need to acquire certain licences or permits, hire specialist guides and equipment and even arrange training for the yacht's crew.

When can I charter a yacht?

Pelorus has access to yachts in year-round destinations, so whether you're in pursuit of sun-soaked adventures or icy exploration, we can bring your charter aspirations to life regardless of the season. Some yachts charter throughout the year, catering to diverse locations, with winter options in Central America and the Caribbean and summer experiences in Norway, Svalbard, and the Mediterranean. Others, like LAMIMA, stay within the same region all year, exploring Indonesia’s Komodo National Park, and Flores during the summer and transitioning through the Spice Islands on to Raja Ampat and Triton Bay during the winter.

Most yachts are listed with two seasons - Summer and Winter. Summer runs from May to October and Winter covers November to April. Within these two seasons, charter yachts are often listed with a high and low rate. High season encompasses the months of July and August as well as the festive holidays and New Year period, low season refers to any time outside of these.

Motor or sail?

While both crewed motor and sailing superyachts offer an incredible level of luxury, high-end service and comfort, there are some distinct differences that should help you in choosing what type of yacht is right for you and your charter group.

Motor yachts are frequently preferable for chartering with smaller children, often equipped with safety features like elevated bulwarks (the walls along the side of the deck areas), safety gates, and unobstructed deck spaces. In contrast, sailing yachts appeal to individuals seeking a profound connection with the elements and a more traditional yachting experience.

Moreover, the inherent nature of sailing offers an emission-free, environmentally friendly mode of transportation by harnessing wind power, thereby diminishing dependence on engines. This eco-friendly approach is further mirrored in reduced fuel consumption costs, making chartering a sailing vessel often a more cost-effective choice.

Broadly speaking, motor yachts tend to provide greater deck space and storage capacity compared to sailing yachts. Additionally, motor yachts often come equipped with a more diverse array of water toys, and some are specifically designed to accommodate submarines and helicopters. However, should your chosen yacht lack the equipment required, we can source a support vessel to charter alongside it.

It is also worth mentioning here the Phinisi yachts of Indonesia. They showcase exceptional craftsmanship, embodying traditional boat-building methods with meticulous construction by skilled artisans using age-old techniques. These wooden vessels harmoniously blend cultural heritage and maritime expertise, featuring intricate woodwork, hand-carved details, and a unique sail design. Offering a luxurious and culturally immersive experience, Phinisi yachts are a stunning way to explore Indonesia's picturesque waters.

How many guests can a yacht sleep?

Most charter yachts whether motor or sail will sleep up to 8-12 guests, depending on how many cabins the yacht has. However, some larger commercial yachts that are fully compliant with the International Safety Management Code (ISM) are permitted to carry more guests.

What yacht can charter where?

Typically, the more remote the destination, the fewer charter yacht options you may have. However, Pelours Yachting stands out with its access to a robust and diverse fleet of yachts that frequent even the most secluded locations worldwide. It's important to recognise that charter yachts often adhere to a cruising plan tailored around the owner's usage, emphasising the value of maintaining an open mind and a degree of flexibility when selecting a yacht and planning the charter timing. Should you have a specific vessel in mind, there's potential flexibility beyond its intended route or home ports, provided the charterer is willing to cover repositioning fees.

It’s also key to understand that not all yachts can charter in all locations. For example, there are certain countries or regions that only allow locally flagged vessels or yachts that meet certain regulatory requirements such as Indonesia, The Galapagos and the U.S.

As a side note, it’s worth being aware that some locations do not allow the use of motorised water toys due to environmental conservation, noise regulation, local restrictions, community preferences or safety concerns.

How to choose a yacht for my charter?

Pelorus Yachting excels in off-grid, expedition yachting, providing access to outstanding exploration vessels globally, equipped with amenities for navigating challenging cruising locations.

If your yacht is required to tackle icy waters, you may need an ice class or an ice breaking yacht. The former is designed for operation in icy conditions and has a reinforced hull, and the latter is specialised in breaking through thick ice.

Your Pelorus Expedition Designer also considers a yacht's storage capacity, crucial for extended voyages without provisioning access. Adequate onboard space is necessary for storing food, fuel, water, and essential supplies.

While some charter vessels are equipped with helicopters and helipads, conducting heli-operations during the charter necessitates specific licensing and crew training. Additionally, certain yachts may carry or have the capacity to store a submarine, with specialised crew training required for submersible operations.

At times, it may be important to consider the draft of the yacht. This refers to how deep the yacht extends below the water’s surface. The draft of a yacht can have significant implications for navigation, especially in shallow waters or when entering ports with depth restrictions.

The cruising range of a yacht must also be taken into account. This is the distance that the yacht can travel at a certain speed without refuelling, particularly important when chartering in remote locations.

It is also useful to be aware of a yacht’s speed and whether it can cover the distances you require on your charter. Note that, despite sailing yachts relying on wind for sailing, they can also operate under engine power, and the listed speed for any sailing yacht refers to its motoring speed.

What costs are involved?

Aside from the quoted weekly charter rate there are other costs to take into account when chartering a yacht. Upon signing your charter agreement, a 50% deposit of the full charter fee is payable by bank transfer. The remaining 50% along with any applicable local taxes, relocation fees and an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) is payable six weeks before the charter commences. The APA is usually 30-35% of the total charter fee and is intended to cover operating expenses such as fuel, drinks, food and dockage. At the end of your charter, you will receive a full breakdown of your account and any remaining APA funds will be reimbursed in full.

Additional costs include crew gratuity and insurance. Crew gratuities, typically around 10% of the charter fee, are discretionary and commonly given if satisfied with the onboard service. Tips can be handed to the Captain for equal distribution among the crew. Considering Cancellation and Curtailment insurance is advisable for unexpected circumstances affecting the trip. It's also recommended to have travel and medical insurance for all charter party members, along with coverage for theft, loss, or damage of valuable items brought on board.
