MELI Yacht Description
-
Deck Jacuzzi on the flybridge:
Perfect for relaxing with cocktails while enjoying stunning sea views and family time. -
Extensive new water toys (2023):
Includes 2 Seabob F5S, 2 Onian electric surfboards, wakeboards, monoski, tubes, and more for all ages. -
Zero-speed stabilizers:
Enhance comfort at anchor, helping guests sleep better and relax anytime on board.
Start with the headline hack: MELI is a 90ft Ferretti 881 with a deck jacuzzi and a full-blown beach club squeezed into a footprint most yachts use for “two chairs and a rail.” If your idea of holiday is hot tub on the sundeck, sunpads on the bow, and a swim platform that actually works as a lounge, you’re in the right tab.
Next glitch in the system: this is a five‑cabin, 12‑guest layout on a 90‑footer, including a main‑deck VIP, a full‑beam master with his & hers bathrooms and bathtub, plus two twins with Pullmans. Translation: one boat, multiple generations, no one stuck in the broom cupboard. The 2023 refit rewired the vibe – modern, neutral Zuccon interior, big windows, and an AV setup with smart TVs, Bose, home cinema and PS5 so kids don’t revolt when the sun goes down.
For the “we actually do stuff” crowd: MELI runs like a small toy store. Two Seabobs, two electric surfboards, two underwater scooters, SUPs, skis (adult & kids), wakeboard, tubes, inflatables, snorkelling and light fishing gear, all fed from a 4.4m Zodiac tender. Zero‑speed stabilisers keep the boat level while everyone is using all that at once.
Why pick MELI instead of another 90‑something flybridge: because this one behaves like a bigger yacht: family‑friendly layout, serious toy list, sundeck jacuzzi, beach‑club stern, and a long‑standing crew that’s worked together for years, including a chef with an actual, structured seven‑day menu, not “we’ll see what the supermarket has.” If you want a compact yacht that punches above its length in space, comfort and playtime, MELI is built for exactly that.

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 MELI, 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.
