Onboard motor yacht CHERRY in Sanremo 2025.
CHERRY is seriously nailing it.
Launched in 2023, in top condition, and running her second charter season with the same solid crew.
She sleeps 9, cruises with 12 for day charters. Based in Cap d’Ail with her own berth — already a win.
What sets her apart? Speed. She’s doing 42 knots cruising, making her one of the fastest around! Need for speed? She is it! Double up on your itinerary — France, Italy, whatever — no wasted time.
Crew pride themselves on delivering a very high-end service. - Came off bigger boats, so you're getting superyacht-level dining and detail in a more nimble package. Suitable for both families and partiers.
Two SeaKeepers — stable even when you're flying. Every sports channel worldwide. Eco toiletries, great toys — jet ski, e-foil, Seabob, big floating mat.
Captain Steve Dent sold me on the ”theatrical helm setup.” Extra seats at the controls — guests love riding shotgun as she planes. Feel a proper connection to the boat.
Finishing in Venice, July 6 — no delivery fee if you hop on there. Honestly, CHERRY’s a rare niche: fast, high-end, and a super crew!

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like CHERRY, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€13,500 - €21,600), making the charter cost €67,500 to €75,600. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.

Overall ambiance and atmosphere: Just perfect. Presented like a yacht chef food is expected to look like. 5* presentation. Only comment is about rocket salad being served with dessert which I thought was an odd pairing. I thought the canape was delicious, fresh, tasty; the starter was a good combination with the goats cheese and lentils - a classic pairing; the salmon was cooked perfectly and I loved the swirl. Grilled asparagus, always a win. The orange posset was a first for me. I'm a convert!
The service was incredible, well orchestrated, professional, correct service etiquette was followed. Little touches were noted, like the lime wedges on the table. Gluten free was accommodated (for my dietary preferences) but not to the detriment of the food served. I loved the crew working together when serving the meals with the captain helping. Gave an aura of completeness and VIP service. The 'big boat' experience is evident in the crew.
Suggestions for improvement: Nothing! I can't wait to book the boat!
Yacht : smart, sharp and worth proposing. I like your walkthrough, nice one! I’d add the totally opening division between saloon and cockpit – it’s an excellent way to make the main area feel bigger and will be a hit with guests for sure (weather permitting)."
Charter Broker - CharterWorld
I was very surprised by Cherry, as we usually consider this type of sporty yachts for day or short charters, but she is really spacious and comfortable which makes her totally suitable for longer charters. The size of her cabins and the exterior spaces are impressive for a yacht her size, the general arrangement is well thought-out. And of course as she is a 2023 built she is in a perfect condition, the interior design is modern yet warm and inviting.

The parmesan garnish and a creative finishing touch. I was particularly impressed by the homemade tiramisu, it was not overly sweet and a perfect light texture.
3.Did the menu meet your expectations in terms of freshness, quality, and taste? Please elaborate. The menu exceeded my expectations in terms of freshness, quality and taste. Spinash were were very tasty, the quality of mascarpone was outstanding. Even the bread was fresh and aromatic. Overall, the menu presented a harmonious blend of flavours.
4. How would you describe the level of attentiveness and professionalism of the crew members onboard? The overall service was a warm welcome.

7. Is there any feedback or suggestions you would like to offer to improve the overall dining experience onboard the yacht?
The entire experience was truly perfect. During the warmer days of summer, perhaps a cold appetizer could be considered, but I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of my dining experience at Cherry. It is evident that the stewardess is highly qualified, providing impeccable, discreet, and warm service. I would like to extend my gratitude to the entire crew for hosting us.
