Feeling Nauti

We explore the latest yacht charters, new builds on the market and cool yachting destinations. This month, take a look at Couach Yachts’ La Pellegrina 1.

LA PELEGRINA IS one of the most famous pearls in the world today, having survived the French and Russian revolutions. And though its namesake by Couach Yachts has an additional ‘l’, it’s easy to see why its owners christened it as such.

The yacht boasts six pearly white cabins spread across four decks. Each is further enlivened with playful pops of colour – no doubt a nod to the famed pearl’s iridescence. Owners and guests will be well-looked after by an international crew of 10, who have boundless knowledge of the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, where La Pellegrina 1 sails and calls home. The yacht can be chartered from Camper & Nicholsons from €230,000 a week.

2 Each cabin comes with its own suite of entertainment options. Like the owner’s suite, the VIP cabin offers wraparound views of the sea.

1 Dining is an anytimeanywhere-andwhatever-you-desire affair, but you can be assured that the crew of 10 will pull out all the stops to make each meal memorable.

3 If the sea proves to be too cold for a swim, head to the sun deck, where a jacuzzi awaits. The raised platform also doubles as a bar counter, allowing those who wish to stay dry to mingle with those in the tub over a cocktail or two.

4 The devil’s in the details with La Pellegrina 1. The yacht balances art, luxury and comfort with finesse. Keep your eyes peeled for the artwork, which includes wall decals and sculptures, when you’re on board.
