TELEOST

A Feadship from 1998, and unmistakably so. TELEOST carries the quiet authority of a hull built by a yard that has never needed to raise its voice — proportions that have aged well, joinery executed to a standard that still holds up a quarter of a century later. A comprehensive refit completed in 2023 brought her back to immaculate condition, with the woodwork refinished and the systems brought up to current expectations, without touching what made her worth keeping in the first place. Life aboard happens largely outside. The sun deck is the natural gathering point — Jacuzzi, daybeds, bar — and it works as well for a slow morning as it does for a long evening at anchor. Aft, the lounging and dining areas are generously scaled, the kind of deck space that lets a full charter party spread out rather than negotiate for room. Inside, the interiors are warm and unhurried, more country-house than showroom. She accommodates up to 12 guests; your BellaYacht advisor will confirm the exact cabin configuration for your dates. Her crew is among the most established in the charter market, and it shows in the way a week aboard unfolds — a team that has run this yacht, in these waters, long enough to anticipate rather than react. For guests who want to be in the water rather than beside it, TELEOST is unusually well equipped. A full Nitrox dive programme with onboard compressors and tanks means diving is planned around the itinerary, not the other way around. The toy collection extends to eFoils, Seabobs, waverunners and a waterslide. Her cruising grounds are Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
