Laurel is a 73.2 m motor yacht built by Delta Marine in 2006 (refitted 2014), for 12 guests in 7 cabins with 24 crew. Charter from €525,000 per week in summer (Croatia, Italy and Monaco); in winter from US$525,000 (Antigua, Bahamas and Saint Martin), plus expenses.

A blue-hulled American yacht from Delta Marine with a lift to every guest deck, wheelchair access and dive instructors in the crew: one of the easier big yachts to charter with grandparents, young children or anyone who finds stairs hard.

LAUREL was built by Delta Marine near Seattle and delivered in 2006, with an interior by Donald Starkey. Her dark blue hull makes her easy to spot in an anchorage, but what sets her apart from other yachts of her size is how easy she is to get around.

A lift serves every guest deck, and her listings describe her as wheelchair accessible. For excursions, the crew can bring along a battery-powered scooter that guests who struggle to walk far can ride once ashore. Put together, that makes her one of the more realistic options for a multi-generation trip: a grandparent who cannot manage steep companionways can still reach the sun deck, the dining room and the tender.

The cabin arrangement is flexible too. The owner’s suite is on the main deck, entered through its own lobby and a sitting room with a desk, and it has balconies on both sides. Everyone else sleeps one level down. To get there you circle a glass artwork full of sea creatures that rises through three decks, made by Mary Van Cline, an artist from Seattle. A seventh room can be set up with fold-down beds for children, or kept as a massage room.

The crew of 24 is unusually broad in its skills. Two of them are dive instructors, so certified divers can dive from the yacht and newcomers can try a first supervised dive; others offer fitness, yoga, massage and hairdressing. Up top there is a glass-walled gym, a spa pool and a lookout terrace at the front of the sun deck. Formal dinners for sixteen take place under a ceiling lit like a night sky.

She cruises the Caribbean and the Bahamas in winter and the Mediterranean in summer. Note that the helipad cannot be used during charters, so arrivals by helicopter are out. Guests looking for a contemporary minimalist interior will find her decor more traditional.
