OCEAN POINT VII

Italian-built and based at Sakaigahama Sea Station, this yacht cruises Japanese waters — a coastline still refreshingly uncrowded by charter standards, and all the more rewarding for it. Step below and the sense of being at sea gives way to something closer to a well-appointed private residence. The interior is quiet, considered, and warm in its detailing — the kind of finish where the joinery, the fittings and the surfaces have clearly been chosen together rather than assembled. It is a calm environment, and calm is what most guests remember first. Accommodation is arranged across three cabins for up to six guests. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. The crew are sailors before anything else — genuinely drawn to the water, and attentive without hovering. That balance is difficult to teach and immediately obvious on board. A straightforward proposition, then: a comfortable Italian-built yacht, an experienced crew, and a cruising ground that few charter guests have seen.
