Bianca II Motor Yacht

Scuba equipment is kept aboard Bianca II, so anyone who dives goes in from the yacht rather than arranging it elsewhere, and there is snorkelling gear for those who prefer to stay at the surface. She is a 75ft (23m) Canados motor yacht from 2007.

On deck

Her beach club gives easy access to the sea, and a swim platform makes climbing back aboard after a swim simple. Exercise equipment is carried as well, so keeping up a training routine does not depend on finding a gym ashore.

Water toys

A pair of Seabobs puts two riders under the surface at once, while a stand-up paddleboard covers the slower end of the day. Waterskis and towable inflatables are there for anyone who wants to be pulled along, and an 11ft Novamarine limousine tender handles trips ashore.

Where she cruises

Bianca II keeps her home port in Sicily and cruises Italian waters, and her busiest months are July and August.

Accommodation and crew

Four staterooms – a master, two VIP rooms and a double – take nine guests overnight, with twelve able to be aboard for the day, and the interior has air conditioning and Wi-Fi. A crew of two runs her.

Comfort under way

She cruises at 24 knots and will run up to 32, using 380 litres an hour, which keeps the time spent moving short.

Charter notes

Two couples, or a family with divers among them, will get the most from Bianca II, whose days are built around what is in the water. She is offered for hire by the week in Italy, with three days the shortest stay.
