Chiluce Motor Yacht

Chiluce uses 400 litres an hour at a 32-knot cruise, so the water between anchorages goes by quickly. She is a 76ft (23m) Riva motor yacht, built in 2017.

Water toys

A Seadoo jet ski travels with her for a rider who wants to head off under their own power, and alongside it there are inflatable toys, snorkelling gear for a look below the surface and tackle for fishing. A 10ft Williams tender handles the trips ashore.

Where she cruises

Chiluce keeps her home port at Portofino, in Italy, and her cruising takes in both Italy and France, which gives a group two coastlines to choose between.

Accommodation and crew

Three cabins hold six guests overnight, with a king bed, a queen and a twin between them, and by day as many as twelve can be aboard, July and August her peak.

Comfort under way

She has 37 knots at the top end when a longer run calls for it, and air conditioning runs throughout while Wi-Fi keeps the group in touch with home.

On deck

A swim platform means a step straight into the sea, and an easy climb back aboard afterwards.

Charter notes

A charter aboard Chiluce suits a family or a group of friends who want the water close and a coast worth following; three crew look after the six sleeping aboard, a crew member to every two guests, and the shortest hire she takes runs three days.
