As the unrivaled experts in luxury yacht services, from buying to chartering to building, crewing, and even maintenance, it is no surprise that Fraser Yachts has conjured a spectacular Limited Edition Series experience for Robb Report readers.
This charter aboard a megayacht is so off the charts luxurious that the total price tag for one week comes out to $3 a second. Among the top two or three most expensive yachts on the market, the Princess Mariana is a 258-foot Oeino-designed, six-deck masterpiece designed for just 12 guests with a crew of 26. Barely an amenity available to man or woman has been overlooked, including a generous supply of Veuve Cliquot, one of the world’s finest champagnes.
Once aboard the Princess Mariana, guests will have little reason to leave. Beginning with six staterooms, all with plasma TVs and private ensuites, sumptuous accommodations include a full-size home theater with 750 DVD films, a spa, a beauty salon, a gymnasium, and a nightclub with an onboard entertainment system offering 15,000 songs.
Guests can take a dip in the Princess Mariana’s 12-meter swimming pool with underwater lighting or hop on the helicopter for a bit of sightseeing. And when the ’copter is airborne, the helipad converts to a driving range complete with virtual versions of the world’s most famous golf courses. For sunseekers, the entire length of the starboard hull wall lowers to just above sea level, creating a private terrace with rails and steps into the water.
Given the majestic size of the Princess Mariana, for trips ashore guests can travel aboard a truly exciting 115-foot tender, the Moon Goddess. With an attention-getting design fashioned from carbon fiber, Kevlar, and epoxy, the Moon Goddess can speed along at a cool 45 knots.
Even the guests’ brief time spent on land offers unmatchable luxury, with round-trip transportation to and from local FBO provided by Maybach.*
Add to all of this a $12 million refit in 2006, and a week onboard the Princess Mariana exceeds expectations with an experience beyond the extraordinary.
