Northern Escape Superyacht

Two tenders travel with Northern Escape, a 32ft boat and a 28ft jet tender, and scuba diving sits among her water toys, so two boats can be off the yacht at the same time. She is a 133ft (40m) Benetti superyacht built in 2022.

Where she cruises

Northern Escape has her home port in Australia and cruises Australia, New Zealand and Fiji, three separate grounds, so a charter can be built around any of them rather than a single coast.

Accommodation and crew

Six cabins sleep twelve guests, with December to February her three peak months, and a crew of eight look after them, so the tenders, the toys and the galley are the crew's work and never the guests'.

Comfort under way

She cruises at 13 knots with 18 knots available, and her stabilisers work under way and with the yacht stopped, which means the roll is damped while she is making a passage and again when she lies at anchor.

On deck

A beach club with its own swimming pool and a swim platform keep the water within a step. A deck jacuzzi, an exterior bar and a barbecue give her guests somewhere to cook, pour and soak outdoors, underwater lights pick out the sea around her hull, and a gym means training happens aboard rather than ashore.

Water toys

Thirteen toys travel with her. A jet ski, two Seabobs and two e-foils open the list, four kayaks put four paddlers on the water at once and there are two paddleboards as well, and water skis, a wakeboard, a towable banana and a couch all run behind a boat, the two towables taking a group rather than a single rider. Fishing and snorkelling gear complete the count.

Charter notes

Northern Escape suits two couples or a family who dive as well as swim, and she is taken by the week, for three days or for a single day of hire, carrying twelve guests by day just as she sleeps twelve, so the party that fills her cabins is the whole party she takes out.
