Lee Superyacht

Two e-foils travel with Lee, boards that lift their rider clear of the surface, and her sundeck holds a jacuzzi pool with a bar built into it, under a sliding perforated sunroof that closes for shade or slides back for sun. She is a 134ft (41m) Baglietto superyacht launched in 2023, drawn outside by Stefano Vafiadis and inside by Tehila Bracha Magyar Shelef, built in aluminium with the range for long passages between coasts.

Accommodation and crew

Five cabins sleep eleven guests and nine crew look after them. The master suite takes the full beam of the main deck forward, with an office and a walk-in closet, and at the press of a button its balcony folds out: the windows drop, teak decking slides from beneath the floor and railings rise, adding two metres of open air to the cabin. The other cabins sit on the lower deck, VIP cabins and a twin with a pullman berth, each with its own bathroom, so no guest shares.

Comfort under way

CMC super active stabilisers work under way and at anchor, so she rolls less on passage and lying overnight in a bay alike. She cruises at 15 knots with 18 in hand for the longer legs.

On deck

The aft deck carries a split-level pool whose floor rises to close it completely, giving the whole deck back as a social space at the stern when the pool is shut. The main saloon, with formal dining for 12, opens to the cockpit through windows that run floor to ceiling and doors that slide fully open over flush sills, leaving no step between inside and out, and on the upper deck a sky lounge carries a bar along its side that serves the diners outside as well. Sunbathing takes the bow, and the sundeck adds lounge beds and a seating area shaded under the roll bar.

Water toys

Alongside the e-foils she carries a jet ski, a Seabob and an iAQUA sea scooter, the last two for going beneath the surface while the foils fly above it, and a paddleboard and snorkelling gear for the slower end of a swim. A 13ft Pirelli tender runs guests ashore.

Where she cruises

Cannes, on the coast of France, is her home port. From there Lee works the shore of France and crosses to Monaco, Italy, Malta and Spain, and her shallow draught lets her lie close in to secluded coves along any of them.

Charter notes

Lee, whose season runs highest in July and August, suits two couples or a family and is taken for a week's hire. Twelve can be aboard by day, and for an event she takes up to 60 guests, well beyond the eleven who sleep on board.
