Scott Free is a 60 m motor yacht built by Abeking & Rasmussen in 2009 (refitted 2022), for 12 guests in 6 cabins with 16 crew. Charter from €420,000 per week in summer (Monaco, Italy and Sardinia); in winter from US$420,000 (Caribbean, Virgin Islands and Antigua), plus expenses.
A 2009 Abeking & Rasmussen that has already circled the globe, whose four lower-deck cabins can be joined into two full-beam suites, each with a lounge of its own.
Scott Free, built by Abeking & Rasmussen in 2009 and once called Elysian, went round the world with her first owner before she began taking charter guests. Donald Starkey styled her profile and Bannenberg & Rowell her interior, where a sculptural spiral staircase ties the bar to the formal dining room. Her latest refit dates from 2022.
The clever part is downstairs. The four guest cabins there are interconnected, so the crew can prepare them as four separate rooms or as two suites spanning the hull, each with a sitting room across the corridor. Two families travelling together can each have a private lounge, and nobody has to give up the master, which stays on the main deck with an office and a vanity.
Up on the bridge deck, a sixth cabin with two pullman berths can serve as a children's room or a beauty room instead. Out on the sun deck you find a bar with stools, a shaded lounge, a Jacuzzi, a barbecue and gym equipment, and the toys are kept in a garage on board.
When she stops, stabilisers that work with the engines off keep the swell from rocking lunch. Her summers are spent on the Côte d'Azur and around the two big islands south of it; for the 2026-27 winter IYC lists her in the British Virgin Islands and the Leeward Islands.
Think of her for two related households, or parents with older children who want room of their own. Two practical limits apply: at full capacity, two guests sleep in pullman berths, and Burgess states that whoever signs as principal charterer has to be resident outside the EU, with Mediterranean trips departing from the South of France, Monaco or Corsica.
