Vauban is a Sanlorenzo-built superyacht measuring 121ft (37m), delivered in 2024. She carries 5 staterooms with 1 King, 2 Queen, 2 Convertible sleeping arrangements for 10 guests, while day charters welcome up to 12 aboard. A crew of 7 manages everything from gourmet dining and watersports to navigation and itinerary planning.
The Vauban Experience
From generous outdoor decks to the refined interior, Vauban balances scale with warmth. Guests settle into a rhythm quickly – morning coffee on the sundeck, a swim before lunch, afternoons exploring ashore or unwinding on deck. At 20 knots, she moves efficiently between anchorages so days are spent enjoying destinations rather than in transit. Key features include a swim platform, a beach club, and an outdoor bar. The interior feels like home, with well-appointed cabins offering a private retreat at the end of each day’s activities.
On the Water
A collection of 5 water toys keeps every member of the group entertained, with a jet ski, water skis, and a wakeboard available directly from the swim platform. The 19ft Williams Jet Tender 565 is on standby for beach drops, harbour runs, and snorkeling stops at reefs and rocky coves. The crew handles all equipment so guests focus purely on the experience, and the yacht’s layout makes water access comfortable for guests of all ages.
