Jolly Power Boat

Her cruising pace is 28 knots and she will run to 40, which is what makes Jolly what she is: the next stretch of coast comes within reach without the day being spent getting there. She is a 41ft (13m) Fiart power boat from 2022.

Water toys

Snorkelling gear travels with her, so a swim stop can be about what lies under the surface as much as the swim itself.

Where she cruises

Antibes, in France, is Jolly's home port, and she cruises the coast of France and the water off Monaco, which means the shoreline is seen from the sea rather than from the road above it.

Accommodation and crew

A single cabin sleeps two overnight, and for a day on the water she can carry 10 guests. A crew of one runs her, so her handling, her lines and her course are all taken care of for the party aboard.

Charter notes

Day charter is what she is set up for, and a day's hire suits a couple who want a boat to themselves as much as it does a larger group, with July and August the height of her year. Her crew member takes the helm and the rest of the work, which leaves the guests free to swim and to watch the coast pass at her own speed.
