Mosaique

Ed Dubois drew her lines and Donald Starkey, an American, planned her rooms before Turquoise launched her in Turkey in 2002. At 589 GT she carries more volume than many yachts of her length, and you feel it on the main deck, where the saloon, a games corner and a formal dining room for twelve sit one after another without crowding.

In 2022 Kristina Ferrand changed the mood while keeping Starkey's plan and his wall panelling. White woods, pale fabrics and blue accents now make the saloons read like a beach house in the Hamptons rather than a gentlemen's club. The dark blue of the hull dates from a repaint in 2020.

The work carried on. Her 25-year class survey fell due in 2026, and the yard period was used to replace the cooling and the screens and speakers, fit Lutron lighting and have Mark Berryman freshen her up inside and out. She also has a new owner, and her central agent brought her back to charter in January 2026.

The cabin plan rewards a group with two senior couples. The owner's suite takes the full width forward on the main deck, with its own lounge and a bathroom in onyx and marble, and the VIP is on the same deck, away from the four cabins below. Outside, the bridge deck has a teak table for sixteen, useful when friends from another boat come over for dinner, and the sun deck adds a bar, the Jacuzzi, two tables and a small gym under a bimini. The yacht is a certified RYA watersports centre, so children and first-timers can learn on the toys with an instructor on board.

She is a good fit for three generations travelling together, or for friends who spend as much time indoors as on deck. If you want a recent build with a minimalist look, or a winter week in the Caribbean, she is the wrong boat: the season her agent publishes is summer in the Mediterranean.
