At 85.3 meters (280ft) luxury motor yacht MOONLIGHT II (formerly ALYSIA) is one of the world’s most impressive charter yachts. Built to SOLAS safety specifications, she has a steel hull and superstructure with aluminum deckhouses. Her massive size defines her as a true super yacht.

Indeed, charter yacht MOONLIGHT II (formerly ALYSIA) has the interior and exterior finish, furnishings and fittings of a luxury yacht charter superyacht. Special attention has been paid to design, quality and safety of materials, and overall security on board.

Motor yacht MOONLIGHT II (ex- ALYSIA) is equipped to carry up to 36 passengers. There is a business center on board and conference space. An internal LAN is provided for connection of computers and peripheral devices and a digital PBX telephone system is installed, equipped with the latest release of ISDN compatible software. The system has five satellite connections linked via an Inmarsat Ship to Earth station.

It would be hard to imagine a Mediterranean yacht charter on a more impressive megayacht. Indeed, most corporate yachts pale in comparison. A health and fitness center includes a spa on the lower deck. Her amenities and décor are designed to rival those of a world-class spa. Facilities include saunas, steam rooms and cold plunge pools, Jacuzzis, lavatories, clothes lockers and showers. The area has a beauty salon and massage facilities. Also a gymnasium is fully equipped to the highest standards.

Guests on a Cote D’Azur yacht charter are grateful for a self-contained environment where their security and privacy are assured. For ultra-high-profile individuals, even going ashore to Les Thermes Marins spa in Monte Carlo or to dinner within the exclusive Palazzo Sasso could present logistical or security nightmares. A yacht is ever so much nicer than taking an entire floor in a hotel, plus it eliminates the issue of a public elevator or lobby when coming and going. Which is not to say that this vessel doesn’t have an elevator-she does-and a very spectacular lobby, one with enormous slabs of book-matched blue Brazilian Makauba marble.

Aboard the yacht, the color scheme is a relaxing blend of colors chosen from nature’s palette and not unlike the colors of Cyprus-wheat, golden maize, olive and deep clay reds splashed against gentle, cream-colored handmade carpets and sofas. It works well with the sea views afforded by large windows.

Very few corporate yachts can compare to the vessel’s onboard space and comfort. Varied seating areas allow each guest to choose a personal space of greatest psychological comfort within rooms that are large enough to entertain grandly or accommodate the entire entourage. The guest staterooms include a two-room VIP suite and a 1,313-square-foot master with an integrated cabin for staff or child, a private deck, a personal office and a sumptuous bath that appears carved of solid Afion marble. Within the yacht’s 47-foot beam, there is ample room for each of the 14 regular guest suites to include a sofa, a desk and a large bath with both tub and shower wrapped in Michelangelo marble.

The success of corporate yachts such as this requires a formula: Anticipate everything and offer the best possible European-style service. In forecasting users’ needs, the yacht provides everything from slippers to a business center and LAN computer service, a library and a cinema, a 500-bottle wine cellar, Bose surround sound music and plasma TVs throughout, a handicap-accessible cabin and a two-bed medical suite with a 24-hour nurse.
