Talisman Maiton is a 54.2 m motor yacht built by Turquoise in 2006 (refitted 2025), for 12 guests in 6 cabins with 13 crew. Charter from €252,000 per week in summer (Croatia, Italy and Monaco), plus expenses.
A 54-metre Turquoise with an eclectic interior and a sun deck built around sunset, for a lively group of friends who want style without formality.
Talisman Maiton has a following of her own. She was the yacht seen in the third season of Below Deck Mediterranean, under her real name, and brokers count her among the steady favourites of the western Mediterranean. The Turkish yard Proteksan Turquoise built her in 2006 on lines by Dubois, and she had a refit in 2012 followed by a refurbishment in 2025.
The interior does not follow a single rule. The English studio H2 Yacht Design mixed Asian references with Art Deco details, and each of the six cabins is styled differently, closer to a small boutique hotel than to a uniform yacht. The main salon and dining room are the formal part; the sky lounge, with a wide curved sofa that opens onto the aft deck, is where people actually end up.
Her best asset is high up. The sun deck has pads angled in every direction, a shaded bar and dining table in the middle and, at the front, a Jacuzzi that faces forward behind low glass screens that keep the wind off. Above it all, a small raised platform gives a full circle of view, which explains why so many evenings on board finish there with a drink at sunset.
One level down, the main deck pairs the VIP with the owner's quarters, where there is room to dress, a desk to work at and a whirlpool bath. The lower deck holds two doubles and two cabins that switch between double and twin, and those two also carry an extra pullman berth, which helps families with children.
She fits a group of friends or a family who want a relaxed, social week around Corsica, Sardinia, the Riviera or the Balearics, with good-looking spaces and a crew used to busy charters. If you prefer a sober, minimalist interior, or need more than one master-sized suite, there are better matches.
