Refined Comfort
The 2023 refit brought Knight up to current standards, and it shows in every detail. Stabilizers keep the yacht rock-steady at anchor and underway at 14 knots, making her a particularly good choice for guests who value calm conditions aboard. The Deck Jacuzzi, a deck jacuzzi, a swim platform, and an on-board gym, and thoughtfully designed social spaces give the yacht a resort-quality feel while retaining the intimacy of a private vessel. Updated finishes throughout the interior provide a welcoming retreat after each day’s adventures.
Toys & Tenders
With 15 water toys stowed aboard, Knight turns every anchorage into an activity hub. The lineup includes a jet ski, yamaha fx-ho, surf and kite gear, two SUP boards, water skis, a wakeboard, two kayaks, towable inflatables, and surf and kite gear, while the 42ft Hydrasports Custom Boat, 13ft AB Jet tender provides quick access to hidden beaches and reef snorkeling spots. All equipment is maintained and set up by the crew – guests simply step in and go.
