Yacht Description
Watersports come standard. SWEET ESCAPE is a 130ft Christensen motor yacht (built 1993, refit 2022) that sleeps 12 in 6 suites, and she is set up for guests who plan to spend more time in the water than on the sofa. Giant waterslide. Flyboard. eFoil.
Easy water access. The swim platform and submersible aft platform make getting in and out of the sea simple, including for kids and less agile swimmers, and there is also an inflatable aft platform for parking toys and hanging out right at the action.
Decks built for groups. You have multiple outdoor living zones, including alfresco dining on the main aft deck for 12 with a full wet bar, plus a sundeck Jacuzzi and BBQ for the post-swim reset (the only workout plan most people stick to).
Flexible cabin mix. The layout is designed for real-world charter groups: a full-beam primary suite, two VIPs, and convertible twin-to-king cabins, plus a sixth suite with a single and adjacent bunk that works well for children or a nanny.
Comfort underway and at rest. With stabilizers at anchor and underway, plus air conditioning and Wi-Fi, SWEET ESCAPE is geared for long, active days followed by a properly calm night onboard.
