Yacht Description
Big-yacht feel, 121 feet. NAMASTE is a 121ft Benetti built in 2013 and refit in 2023, set up to sleep 10 guests in 5 cabins. The hook is volume: she’s a 121-footer that reads larger once you start using the decks.
A master with views. The full-beam, on-deck master suite sits on the main deck with forward panoramic views. Quiet flex. Below, the remaining accommodation is two doubles and two twins.
Sundeck wins the day. The sundeck is notably expansive, with a retractable sun roof and a custom deck Jacuzzi for the post-swim reset. Add al fresco dining on two decks and the group can spread out without splitting up.
Comfort and toys sorted. Zero-speed stabilizers keep things settled at anchor (and stabilizers underway are listed too), while the toy lineup leans active: 2 jet skis, 2 Seabobs, a water slide, E-foil, wakeboard, water skis, paddleboards, kayaks, snorkel gear, and fishing equipment. Getting everyone off the yacht is easy with the 32-foot Intrepid center console plus a Williams Jet Drive tender.

Additional Comments
The captain and the crew went far and beyond to make the experience of everyone - a once in a lifetime trip!!! Something we'll never forget.
In all my years at sea I have never seen such a fantastic crew. All was above and beyond. Cheers and Thanks.
There are good ships and there are wood ships, ships that sail the sea, but the best ships are FRIENDSHIPS, may they always be!
Until next time! Thanks for the best cruise ever.

Guest Four:
To the BEST CREW EVER!!!
Thank you for making every moment so special for us. You all are amazing. Thank you for personalising this experience for us and giving us unforgettable moments.
Hope to see you all in Hawaii one day... Until then, Mahalo.
Captain Tom is an obvious professional and you can tell that he leads by example. His team works tirelessly, and they are the most charming and engaging people. The yacht was just as described, the volume of living space is perfect. The linens and beds were great, not a bad thing to say about the boat at all. No flaw from a user perspective. Charter was a 10/10!
Well-done crew of Namaste! Home run, we thank you!
