Sirocco is a 47 m motor yacht built by Heesen in 2006 (refitted 2013), for 12 guests in 6 cabins with 9 crew. Charter from €180,000 per week in summer (Italy, Monaco and Sardinia); in winter from €180,000 (Italy, Monaco and French Riviera), plus expenses.

A fast 47-metre Heesen from 2006 that stays in the western Mediterranean all year, for a group that wants to cover several coasts in a single week.

Sirocco belongs to Heesen's 4700 series, aluminium yachts with a semi-displacement hull, and that choice of hull is the key to how a week aboard feels. Her top speed is around 26 knots, and in practice that means breakfast off Cannes and a late lunch in a Corsican bay, or a week that strings together the Riviera, Sardinia and the Bonifacio strait without long days at sea.

Fans of Below Deck Mediterranean may recognise her: the cameras followed her crew through seasons two and four, and the yacht kept her name on screen. Since then she has stayed in the same waters, and unlike many of her neighbours she does not cross to the Caribbean in winter, so off-season trips along the French and Italian coasts are possible.

For the interior, Omega Architects took Africa as the theme and worked mostly in leather, stone and dark Makassar timber. The owner's suite has the upper deck to itself and spans the full beam, with an office, a private deck outside and a large bathroom, so whoever books it gets real separation from the rest of the party. Elsewhere, a media room with a big screen gives teenagers or sports fans their own corner. On the sun deck, an eight-person Jacuzzi sits alongside a small gym, with plenty of space left for loungers.

The crew of nine runs a busy boat, with jet skis, a Seabob, a slide and three tenders, the largest a Castoldi that suits fast shore runs.

She is a natural choice for friends or a family who want variety, short hops and plenty of swimming stops. If you would rather spend the week slowly at one anchorage, much of what she is built for goes unused; and anyone hoping for a winter charter in the tropics should look at yachts that make the crossing.
