Originally launched in 1993 and comprehensively refitted in 2016, the 184ft (56m) The Wellesley by Oceanco combines proven naval architecture with contemporary interiors and updated systems. Her 6 staterooms – 3 King, 1 Queen, 2 Twin, 1 Pullman – sleep 12 guests in comfort, while day charters accommodate 12. A seasoned crew of 12 ensures smooth operations and attentive service.
Refined Comfort
The 2016 refit brought The Wellesley up to current standards, and it shows in every detail. Stabilizers keep the yacht rock-steady at anchor and underway at 13 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 6 water toys stowed aboard, The Wellesley turns every anchorage into an activity hub. The lineup includes two jet skis, two Seabobs F5, and two SUP boards, while the 29ft ZAR 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.
