PENELOPE Refit Elevates Onboard Experience

Described by Arianna Esposito, Marketing Manager at Flying Charter, as ‘a flagship of comfort, elegance, and reliability,’ PENELOPE spans three expansive decks that strike a perfect balance between privacy, open-air leisure, and entertainment.

Her thoughtfully arranged interiors include six beautifully appointed cabins. The highlight is the full-beam master suite on the main deck, featuring two lavish marble bathrooms. The guest quarters, located on the lower deck, offer a mix of cosy double and twin cabins, along with a VIP suite, all with ensuite facilities.

Outdoor spaces have been equally enhanced. The teak-clad decks now feature upgraded furniture and cushions, while the sundeck boasts a jacuzzi and PENELOPE’s custom-designed floating pool, a standout feature that extends off the stern, allowing guests to swim with direct access to the sea while enjoying the comfort of the yacht.

Her generous interior layout has also received a major facelift. Upgrades include new moquette, linen, marble flooring, crystal furnishings, and reupholstered wall panels across key areas including the main saloon, upper deck lounge, and guest cabins. The refit also included a complete overhaul of the main engines and generators, ensuring top-tier performance alongside sophisticated design choices.

With a crew of nine, including seasoned Captain Alessandro Abbate, known for his regatta successes and hands-on leadership, and Chef Giovanni Rocca, a Roman-trained culinary expert specialising in Mediterranean and global cuisine, and extensive modernisation throughout, PENELOPE is now well-positioned to meet the expectations of today’s charter clients, offering a refined, spacious setting for relaxed cruising.
