Allure Motor Yacht

Stefano Righini drew Allure's exterior and Rodriguez Yachts shaped the interior, so her styling and her cabins come from two different hands. She is a 102ft (31m) Mangusta motor yacht, built in 2003 and refitted in 2014.

Water toys

A Seadoo jet ski, a wakeboard and towable toys cover the fast end of the water, while SUP boards and a kayak suit anyone who would rather paddle at their own pace, and there is snorkelling gear for time spent looking below the surface. Her beach tender carries guests ashore and brings them back again.

Where she cruises

Allure works the British Virgin Islands and the USVI, along with Anguilla, St Martin and St Barths. She also reaches Antigua and Barbuda, Guadeloupe, Martinique, St Lucia and Grenada, a spread of landfalls to choose between rather than a single stretch of coast.

Accommodation and crew

Nine guests sleep aboard in four cabins, and twelve can come along when she is out for the day. A crew of four runs her, which keeps the looking-after personal at this size of party; air conditioning runs throughout, and satellite television and Wi-Fi are there when the group wants to be in touch.

Comfort under way

She cruises at 28 knots and will run up to 38, so the further corners of her cruising ground stay within reach.

Charter notes

She suits two couples sharing the cabins, or a family who want the toys close at hand and the crew handling the boat, the tender and the cooking. Allure takes a week's charter, and a day or half-day hire as well, with December through April her peak months.
