About DARK STAR OF LONDON

Best for: families with children, with groups of friends seeking a mix of water sports and fine dining a close second.

Built by Trehard in 1982 and based in Loano, Italy, Dark Star of London is a classic sailing yacht with a genuinely exceptional galley at her heart. Chef Fabrizio Littera brings over 23 years of professional experience, including time in Michelin-starred restaurants and a second-place finish at the 2017 World Champion Chef competition, delivering refined Mediterranean and Italian fine dining on the water. That combination of a classic hull and a chef of this calibre is rare.

She accommodates up to 10 guests across 5 cabins: a full-beam master suite of around 12 square metres with a seating area and en-suite shower, two mirrored double cabins and two twin bunk cabins, each with en-suite facilities. Captain Denys Grachov is a freediving instructor with Antarctic expedition experience, and the water sports list is substantial: sea scooters, wakeboards, water-skis, paddle boards, snorkelling gear, a dive compressor and full diving equipment. Families with younger children will find lily mats and inflatable donuts alongside the more active kit.

Good to know

We want to make sure you are well prepared and informed for your trip. Here are a few things you might want to know before you set off.
An APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) is an amount paid to the yacht before your charter. It's a fund to cover expenses such as food & drink eaten on board, fuel and mooring fees. At the end of your charter, you’ll receive a detailed document showing how the APA was spent, and any remaining balance will be refunded to you. if in doubt about what is included, ask your HELM broker.
The Captain will let you know if you're about to overspend and discuss your next steps, which will generally be a bank transfer to top up the funds.
We recommend 10-15% of your charter fee, which will be split evenly among the crew (it's a nice touch to bring a blank envelope or a thank you card in advance).
We'll share your Captain's details with you a few weeks before your charter. We can set up a group chat with your group and the captain to discuss plans before you go.
