MALKIA Yacht Charter

Start with the real hook: MALKIA is a 97ft Sanlorenzo (2020) with an interior by Patricia Urquiola. Translation: you’re not stepping onto “generic charter décor”, you’re stepping into a design project by one of the most recognisable names in contemporary interiors – on a yacht that actually moves at 14 knots, not a floating showroom.

Core value proposition: 10 guests, 5 en-suite cabins, with the master on the main deck (more light, more space, less compromise) plus a crew of 5 whose only job is to make sure you never go looking for anything twice. All cabins are properly sized and en-suite, so the politics of “who gets the good room” are minimal.

Outside is where MALKIA quietly wins. You get multiple real lounging zones instead of one over‑crowded aft deck: a wide swim platform for easy water access, a fold‑down balcony off the main salon for that “private terrace over the sea” moment, and bow and upper decks set up with sofas, sunpads and shaded seating so different groups can splinter off without vanishing.

Comfort systems actually matter here: stabilisers both underway and at anchor, full air‑conditioning and a GRP hull tuned for semi‑displacement cruising. Net result: you enjoy the view, not the roll. Wi‑Fi is baked in, so work calls and doom‑scrolling can still happen, if you insist.

Water-level fun, not brochure filler: a Williams Jet RIB for fast, dry(ish) transfers, Seabobs for the human‑torpedo crowd, paddleboards, towable donut and snorkelling kit. Enough toys to keep a mixed‑age group busy without turning the aft deck into a rental shop.

Who should pick MALKIA: clients who want a recent‑build, design‑led 30m yacht with grown‑up outdoor spaces, a main‑deck master and a calm, contemporary interior – plus the stability and systems to make the week feel like a private boutique hotel that just happens to move whenever you’re bored of the view.
