Arience is a 60.93 m motor yacht built by Abeking & Rasmussen in 2012 (refitted 2022), for 12 guests in 7 cabins with 16 crew. Charter from €595,000 per week in summer (Monaco, Italy and Montenegro); in winter from US$625,000 (Caribbean, Antigua and Bahamas), plus expenses.
An Abeking & Rasmussen conceived for charter from day one, with a private Jacuzzi deck for the owner's suite and a spa and gym that open onto the sea.
Arience was launched in 2012 as Excellence V and took her present name after a change of owner. The German yard Abeking & Rasmussen planned her for charter from the first drawings, and Reymond Langton Design shaped both the exterior and the interior. Burgess points out that her gross tonnage compares with that of a 70 to 75-metre yacht, while her length still gets her into harbours and anchorages where bigger boats struggle.
The owner's suite is the room people talk about afterwards. It sits on the upper deck behind a curved sweep of windows with a 180-degree view, has a separate office, and opens onto a private deck with its own Jacuzzi and day beds that no other guest uses. When one couple is paying for the week and friends or grown-up children fill the other cabins, that privacy is worth a great deal.
Down at the waterline, two rooms face each other across the hull: a spa with a massage table to starboard and a gym to port, each with a balcony that folds out over the sea. Because they sit amidships rather than at the stern, nobody is disturbed while the crew launch the tenders. A lift serves every deck, there is a proper cinema on the lower deck, and the RYA recognises the yacht as a water sports training centre, so learning to wakeboard or windsurf comes with real instruction.
Arience makes most sense for a group that wants big-yacht wellness without moving up to a much longer boat, and for families who divide the day between the toys and the spa. The decor is formal, with leather-lined walls, marble floors and tabletops in crocodile finish, so anyone after a barefoot, beach-house mood may find her too dressed up.
