Deja Too

Deja Too belongs to Amels' Tigre d'Or line from the early 2000s, with both the exterior and the interior drawn by Terence Disdale, a pedigree that has aged well. What has changed is the inside: a refit in 2025, on top of a long list of upgrades in 2022, left her rooms light and neutral, and the sun deck was reorganised with new outdoor furniture.

Her layout is built around families. Whoever takes the principal cabin gets light through big round windows, plus a corner to read in, a writing desk and room to dress. Behind it, a compact room for one has a bathroom and a fold-down bunk: handy for a child who likes having mum and dad within earshot, or for a nanny. Three doubles and a twin, all en suite, are on the lower deck. The sky lounge has a bar and glass on three sides, and outside it a round table for twelve stands in the shade, so the whole party can share lunch on the bridge deck.

She is a recognised RYA training centre, so children and adults can be properly taught on the jet skis, seabobs, e-foil and electric surfboard instead of simply being handed the controls. Stabilisers that work at zero speed keep her steady at anchor, and a range of more than 7,000 nautical miles explains how she moves between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean each year.

There are conditions to check before falling for her. Her commercial registration (the YET scheme) brings three rules. The person signing the contract needs a home address outside the EU. In the Mediterranean, trips can only set off from three places: Corsica, Monaco or France's southern coast. And anyone living in the United States is out while she sits in American waters. For a family from outside Europe, with children of different ages who want to learn new sports and still sit down together every evening, she fits very well. A group resident in the EU, or anyone hoping to start the week in Greece or Croatia, should look at other yachts.
