Red Rose is an AICON motor yacht shaped around the hours guests spend in and beside the water. Her stern opens onto a swimming platform, extended and submersible, which lowers until the sea laps across it, so stepping in for a swim is as simple as walking down a beach. Stabilisers keep her steady on passage and when she lies still, which makes lunch at anchor calmer and a night in an open bay more restful. She has a good turn of pace as well, letting her crew move between anchorages without eating into the day.
From that platform the choice of play is wide. A Seabob draws swimmers along just beneath the surface, while the Seadoo Spark suits anyone keen on speed. There are water skis for those who like a tow, Jobe SUPs for an unhurried paddle along the shore, and a Jobe Banana for riding together behind the tender. An inflatable sofa invites simple floating, and snorkel gear lets guests explore what lies below the hull. A Zodiac Yachtline tender takes everyone to the shore and back, and a deck shower rinses off the salt on their return.
On deck, a Jacuzzi gives guests somewhere to sit together with a drink as the afternoon cools, and the BBQ lets the crew serve dinner in the open air. A Bimini and a sun awning provide shade when the light is strongest, and music plays through a Sonos sound system wherever guests settle. Her cruising ground is the Ionian, and her outdoor spaces are arranged for the slow rhythm of anchoring, swimming and eating outside that those waters reward, with the next swim never more than a few steps from the table.
Inside, the main salon has a small bar for drinks before dinner, along with a television, a stereo and connections for plugging in a phone or music player. Every cabin has a television of its own for quieter evenings. The Master Suite goes further, with its own espresso station and mini bar, so whoever sleeps there can begin the morning with coffee before anyone else is up, or close the night privately. With a crew aboard to run the yacht and the meals, she suits guests who would rather spend their energy in the water than on arrangements.
