LADY SPLASH

## LADY SPLASH — 24m Leopard (Arno), 2006 Some yachts are built for lingering; LADY SPLASH is built for covering ground. Launched in 2006 by Leopard (Arno), this 24-metre (79ft) motor yacht carries the profile and the temperament of a fast passage-maker: a 25-knot cruise, with 30 knots available when the schedule tightens or the anchorage ahead simply looks better than the one behind. Along the French coast, that speed changes the nature of a charter week. Cannes to Saint-Tropez stops being a day's commitment and becomes a decision made over breakfast. Lunch at anchor off the Îles de Lérins, an afternoon reposition, dinner in a different port — the yacht makes that rhythm feel unhurried rather than rushed. Below, three cabins accommodate six guests: an owner's cabin, a VIP cabin, and a third with twin beds. Each has its own en-suite facilities. Detailed bed configuration is available on request, and the layout suits a family or two couples travelling together without compromise on privacy. A crew of two runs the yacht — a scale of service that stays deliberately close and personal. Nothing is filtered through layers; requests are heard directly and handled directly, which on a yacht of this size is precisely the point. Guests tend to notice the difference by the second day, when preferences no longer need explaining. For charterers who want the Mediterranean at their own pace, on their own itinerary, and with the mileage to make it real, LADY SPLASH is a straightforward and capable proposition.
