WHITE KNIGHT: a stabilised Maiora with a sundeck bar and a wealth of water toys
WHITE KNIGHT is a Maiora with a light, quiet interior. Pale furnishings, gentle lighting and wooden floors underfoot make the saloon a restful place to return to after hours outside. She was refitted and has been kept with evident care. Her cabins pair doubles with twins, and one twin can be made up as a double, so the sleeping plan bends to whoever is aboard. Couples can each have a room of their own, while those happier in separate beds are just as well placed. Stabilisers temper her motion, whether she is lying quietly at anchor or making a passage between harbours.
Much of the day settles on the sundeck. A bar stands near a dining table under cover, so lunch is taken in the shade with the horizon open all around, and loungers and cushioned sun pads leave room to stretch out in the breeze, read, or doze between swims. Her crew look after the table, the tender and the toys, which leaves guests to set the pace for themselves: a long lunch, a late swim, a drink at the bar as the light softens over the water.
The water is where she comes into her own. The Brig Eagle RIB carries guests ashore or into coves too small for the yacht herself. Her toys include a Seabob for gliding beneath the surface, a Sea-Doo Spark Trixx, a Nautibuoy Voyager to lounge on, Jobe waterskis, a Jobe Vanity wakeboard, the Jobe Hotseat and Sonar towables, a Jobe Yarra inflatable SUP and snorkelling equipment. Anyone keen to stay in shape will find dumbbells, a stationary bike and a TRX system, and her media systems and communications let guests stay connected when they wish.
She cruises in Greece, where a brisk turn of speed lets her crew string islands and anchorages together without long hours under way, and her stabilisers make for steady meals and settled nights. Each day can be shaped around the party aboard rather than a fixed plan: an early run along the coast, an afternoon at anchor with the toys launched from the stern, then dinner on deck as the evening cools. It is a way of travelling that keeps the sea close while the comforts of the yacht are never far.
