About Top Shelf

The 87ft (26m) Top Shelf was built by Ferretti in 2014 and refitted in 2020, bringing modern finishes and updated systems to a proven motor yacht platform. She welcomes up to 12 guests for day charters and sleeps 8 across 4 cabins for longer voyages, with a crew of 3 onboard providing full service.

 

Versatile Chartering

Top Shelf is equally at home on a day trip as she is on a week-long cruise through Bermuda, Bonaire, Curacao, Aruba, Cayman Islands, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica and Belize. The 2020 refit modernised her living spaces and amenities, making her a comfortable option for groups who want a swim platform without the price tag of a brand-new yacht. At 27 knots, she reaches the best anchorages quickly, maximising time spent enjoying each destination. The crew keeps the experience smooth whether you have six hours or six days.

 

Fun on the Water

She carries 9 water toys including a jet ski, a Seabob, SUP boards, water skis, a wakeboard, and towable inflatables – available whether you book a half day or a full week. The crew prepares equipment at each stop, and guests can jump between activities at will. The swim platform makes water access easy for all ages, and the 14ft Tender is ready to ferry groups to beaches and shoreside restaurants.

 

Season & Destinations

Top Shelf charters across Bermuda, Bonaire, Curacao, Aruba, Cayman Islands, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica and Belize in the Caribbean and Central America, following the best cruising conditions through the year. The prime chartering window falls within Jan, Feb, Mar, Dec.
