LATITUDE | 2010

Best for: active families and groups of friends, with multi-generational groups a close second.

Built in 2010 by Dutch Yacht Builders, LATITUDE is a 43.5-metre motor yacht based in Cannes whose standout feature is a Jacuzzi sundeck fitted with a bar, grill, large sun pad, sun loungers and a removable DJ pedestal, making it a genuine day-to-night social space. The interior is finished in oak floors, white and stingray leather, and the main saloon places the lounge forward and the dining area aft, opening through sliding doors onto a shaded deck with organic woven chairs.

She accommodates 12 guests across six cabins served by a crew of seven: a forward master cabin with a tub, separate shower, vanity and seating area; a bridge-deck sky lounge that converts to a VIP cabin with en suite; two full-beam VIP cabins on the lower deck, each with a tub and separate shower; and two convertible twin or queen cabins, one with a Pullman berth for a child. The toy list suits energetic groups well, covering two Sea-Doos, two SeaBobs, wakeboards, waterskis, windsurfing, scuba and snorkelling kit, kayaks, a banana boat, and both road and mountain bicycles ashore.
