Lammouche

Lammouche does not run on ordinary diesel. Her engines burn Cristal Power XTL 100, a second-generation biofuel, which her agents say is odourless and quieter than ordinary diesel; for guests who think about the footprint of a week at sea, that is a real argument. She left Sanlorenzo's yard at La Spezia in 2010 under the name Aleksandar VII, with naval architecture by the yard and the whole look, outside and in, by Francesco Paszkowski. A year later she was a finalist at both the World Superyacht Awards and the ShowBoats Design Awards.

Some of the furniture is cleverer than it looks. Just inside the saloon doors stands a block of dark wenge that looks like a kitchen island, until you notice that its drawers slide out as chairs for an impromptu dinner or a card game. One level up, beside a bar, guests eat at a round table enclosed by bent glass panels that slide back when the night is warm. The décor was refreshed in 2020 and 2021 and touched up again in 2026.

Fitness is taken seriously. Down at water level the beach club is also the gym, kitted out with a Kinesis machine, free weights and a bike, and it stays open while she is moving as well as at anchor, with Naiad stabilisers keeping the boat level. Above, the sun deck has a dining table under a hardtop, a barbecue and a large Jacuzzi. The toys favour quiet fun: two Tiwal inflatable sailing dinghies, a Fliteboard, underwater scooters, a climbing pyramid, electric mountain bikes and Maserati e-scooters for exploring ashore, even golf clubs with eco-friendly balls. An 11-metre Axopar runs guests to the beach.

The owner sleeps on the main deck, with a desk room and a separate space for clothes; two doubles and two cabins that switch between twin and double share the lower deck. She is licensed to charter in Spanish waters and spends her summers between France and Spain.

Lammouche suits active couples and families who want to train, sail a dinghy and ride to a village in one day, and who like the idea of lower emissions. Groups larger than ten, or anyone wanting the Adriatic, should look at other yachts.
