NORTHERN ESCAPE
About NORTHERN ESCAPE
Best for: families exploring the Great Barrier Reef, with groups of friends after an action-packed Australian adventure a close second.
Built in 2022 by Benetti, Northern Escape is a 40.8-metre motor yacht based in Cairns and purpose-built for the waters she runs. The standout is her tender and toy package: guests choose between a custom-built 8.4-metre aluminium jet boat or a 10-metre Andros offshore boat, and the water toys list adds Seabobs, Ravik jet boards, Flite boards, a flyboard, wakeboard, jet surf, and towables, making her one of the most comprehensively equipped charter yachts in Australian waters.
She accommodates up to 12 guests across six cabins, including a full-beam main-deck master suite with an office, dressing rooms, and his-and-her bathrooms, plus two double cabins and two twin convertibles on the lower deck. A flexible main-deck room with fold-down Pullman beds can serve as a seventh sleeping space or convert into a wellness room. Eight crew including Captain Sam Aldred, who grew up around vessels and has worked from the Mediterranean to the Pacific, and Chief Stewardess Emily Jaye, a WSET-qualified wine enthusiast focused on guest experience, ensure a high level of service throughout.
