EXTERIOR
PRINCESS MAELA’s profile is unmistakably classic – a dark hull, elegant superstructure and wide teak decks that speak to a golden era of yachting. Her displacement hull ensures steady cruising, enhanced by stabilisers for comfort while underway.

Outdoor living is thoughtfully arranged across multiple levels. The aft deck provides a generous setting for al fresco dining, with a large table perfectly positioned for long Mediterranean lunches. Above, the sundeck offers a relaxed lounge area complete with a minibar – an inviting space for sunset cocktails with uninterrupted sea views.

Forward, the expansive bow is dedicated to sunbathing, where guests can recline in privacy and enjoy panoramic vistas. The flybridge adds yet another sociable retreat, with comfortable seating and an indoor TV lounge that can convert into an additional double cabin if required.

Large windows allow natural light to soften the rich interior finishes, while the layout ensures a natural flow between relaxation and dining spaces. The ambience is intimate and refined – perfectly suited to guests seeking character rather than contemporary minimalism.

Modern upgrades have been carefully integrated, including high-speed Starlink connectivity and a Fusion sound system, ensuring that comfort and entertainment meet present-day expectations without compromising her authentic charm.
