DOMENIQUE

A 21-metre from the Ferretti 681 line, this yacht carries the signature the Italian yard built its reputation on: a hull that stays composed at speed, and interiors that never mistake volume for comfort. A refit completed in 2024 keeps her presentation current. Accommodation is arranged over four cabins for eight guests: an owner's cabin, a VIP cabin, and two further cabins each fitted with twin beds. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. Three bathrooms serve the accommodation, so the layout works as well for two families sharing a week as for a single group travelling together. Below, the mood is deliberately light — pale materials, fine fabrics, quality joinery — the kind of interior that reads as calm rather than assertive when the sun is high and the blinds are open. Forward, the foredeck sun pads are where most of the day tends to be spent at anchor: a flat, generous space with nothing between you and the coastline. Under way she is genuinely quick, with a top speed of 36 knots — useful when the plan changes and a bay two headlands further on suddenly looks better. She runs stable and quiet at cruise, which matters more than the headline figure. The crew handles the running of the yacht, the provisioning and the itinerary, adjusting the day to the weather and to what guests actually feel like doing. At the stern, a hydraulic bathing platform gives easy access to the water, to the 3.8 m tender and to the Seadoo Spark jet ski. Snorkelling gear is aboard for the clear water she was made for. Cruising grounds: Croatia, Montenegro and the Ionian Islands.
