LADY AMANDA

## Lady Amanda — 30m Couach A 30-metre Couach launched in 2006 and refitted in 2021, Lady Amanda has earned her reputation on the charter scene the honest way: through the sheer breadth of what she puts at your disposal on the water, and through a crew that knows exactly how to run it. The interior is the work of Franck Reynaud, and it reads as classic rather than fashionable — neutral whites, polished woods, plenty of natural light. The saloon opens easily onto the aft deck, which means the social centre of the yacht shifts outdoors almost by default. Four en suite cabins accommodate up to ten guests: an owner's cabin, one cabin with a queen-size bed, and two cabins with double beds. Detailed bed configuration on request. Outside, the deck space is generous for the length. Lounging and dining areas are spread across the aft deck, foredeck and a large flybridge, with sun pads forward and a Jacuzzi up top — enough separation between them that a group of ten never feels obliged to share the same square metre of teak. Her cruising speed of 22 to 26 knots is worth dwelling on. It changes the character of an itinerary: a week aboard can genuinely take in a long stretch of coastline rather than a single bay, which suits charterers who want to go ashore and explore as much as they want to stay on board. Her cruising grounds run from Monaco and the French coast to Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily and the Italian mainland. A crew of four looks after the yacht and its guests, and their credentials matter here more than usual: Lady Amanha's [sic] — Lady Amanda's crew operate an RYA-approved jet ski school, so instruction and safety briefings come from people qualified to give them. Watersports are not an afterthought on this yacht; they are the reason she is known. The toy selection would flatter a yacht half again her size. A 4.6-metre tender, a five-metre slide, a Fliteboard AIR 175-litre, a FlyBoard, a Jetsurf, PWC, Seabobs, an Immotor electric scooter, an SJ Pro SUP package and further paddleboards, waterskis, wakeboards, a wakeskate and a doughnut. Add an ocean pool with jellyfish protection net, a crane swing, a balloon blast, and a golfing pad with biodegradable balls. Snorkelling and fishing equipment is aboard, and a Mavic Pro Platinum aerial drone plus a PowerRay underwater drone are on hand to record the results. Lady Amanda also accepts Bitcoin for charter fees.
