TOP FIVE II

## TOP FIVE II — 61m Royal Hakvoort There are shipyards whose name alone tells you what kind of yacht you are stepping aboard. Royal Hakvoort is one of them, and TOP FIVE II carries that Dutch signature over 61 metres of exceptionally solid engineering — including an ice-class reinforced hull, a detail that says a great deal about how she is built and where she is capable of going. The interior is by Sinot Yacht & Architectural Design, and it reads as a single coherent idea rather than a collection of effects: oak and walnut, leather, Italian marble, deep textiles. What makes it work is volume. Ceiling heights aboard are unusually generous for a yacht of this size, and the large windows do the rest — daylight moves through the accommodation from morning to evening, and the rooms feel like rooms rather than cabins. Seven cabins, including a dedicated owner's deck. Your BellaYacht advisor will confirm the exact configuration for your dates. A glass elevator connects all five decks — a genuinely useful piece of design on a yacht laid out over this many levels, and one that makes the whole vessel accessible to every guest aboard, whatever the hour or the sea state. Formal dining areas, open social spaces and a professionally equipped galley make her a natural yacht for hosting: long lunches that drift into the afternoon, dinners that don't need to be rushed. Nineteen crew. On a yacht of this scale, that ratio is what turns a beautiful interior into a properly run one — service that anticipates rather than reacts, and stays discreet doing it. She spends her summers in the Bahamas and her winters across the Caribbean — the US and British Virgin Islands, the Leewards, the Windwards, and the Bahamas again. Shallow-draft anchorages, long crossings, quiet bays: an itinerary she is built for.
