On the Côte d’Azur, where spectacle is everywhere, LADY AMANDA stands apart for a more meaningful reason: she delivers.
At 30 metres, she is widely regarded as one of the finest yachts in her class on the charter market. Built by the esteemed French shipyard Guy Couach and refined through ongoing, thoughtful refits, she combines performance, elegance and effortless Mediterranean living in equal measure.
Her cleverly designed deck spaces create a sociable, welcoming atmosphere, while her speed and smooth cruising make her ideal for exploring the Riviera in style.
What truly distinguishes LADY AMANDA is her proven charter success. She enjoys an exceptional level of returning clients and consistently exemplary feedback from both guests and brokers — a rare endorsement in such a competitive market.
Compact in scale yet exceptional in experience, LADY AMANDA continues to outperform expectations and stand out among her peers.
This is not a yacht that exists merely to be admired from the quay. LADY AMANDA is designed to be used — enthusiastically, frequently, and in full appreciation of what the Riviera offers. She appeals to guests who want to experience the region dynamically rather than passively, moving effortlessly from the glamour of Monaco to Corsica’s rugged coastline, from iconic beach clubs to hidden anchorages known only to seasoned charter captains. Days on board tend to evolve organically: a leisurely breakfast in one bay, spontaneous watersports in another, cocktails in a bustling harbour by evening, and a tranquil overnight anchorage under a canopy of stars.
Despite her lively character, she is equally capable of delivering moments of quiet sophistication. Whether hosting an elegant lunch with panoramic views or providing a serene retreat from the intensity of the Riviera’s social calendar, LADY AMANDA adapts to her guests rather than imposing a single style of experience. This versatility is central to her enduring appeal.
Performance Pedigree and Engineering Designed for Exploration
Delivered in 2006 and consistently refined through successive refits — most recently in 2026 — LADY AMANDA has been meticulously maintained to uphold contemporary standards of comfort, style and onboard technology.
Beneath her elegant profile lies unmistakably performance-oriented engineering. Built by the respected French shipyard Guy Couach, she benefits from the yard’s renowned expertise in high-speed, seaworthy motor yachts. Her Kevlar-reinforced hull — a hallmark of Couach construction — enhances both structural strength and weight efficiency.
The result is a yacht that feels reassuringly robust yet impressively responsive, capable of sustaining exhilarating cruising speeds while maintaining exceptional stability and comfort. It is this seamless balance of performance and refinement that continues to set LADY AMANDA apart in the 30-metre market.
Cruising comfortably up to 28 knots, she dramatically expands what is possible within a single day’s itinerary. Distances that would require careful planning on slower displacement yachts become opportunities for spontaneity. Guests can wake in Cannes, swim off the Îles de Lérins before lunch, arrive in Saint-Tropez for afternoon shopping or a reservation at Club 55, and still reach Monaco in time for dinner at Cipriani— all without feeling rushed. This sense of flexibility transforms the yacht from a static destination into a gateway to the entire Western Mediterranean.
Equally important is her sea-keeping ability. High performance alone is meaningless if guests feel uncomfortable, yet LADY AMANDA manages to combine speed with a reassuringly smooth ride thanks to her stabilisers, both underway and at anchor. Even when conditions become less than ideal, she maintains composure, allowing itineraries to proceed with minimal disruption.
Visually, she adheres to a timeless Riviera aesthetic. Her deep navy hull contrasts elegantly with a crisp white superstructure, while her clean, purposeful lines convey both refinement and capability. She looks equally appropriate moored stern-to in Cannes’ Vieux Port (where she is based), anchored off a secluded Corsican cove, or cruising purposefully toward the Italian coast. The design neither shouts for attention nor fades into anonymity; it communicates confidence through proportion and balance.
An Interior Environment Focused on Comfort, Light, and Sociability
Stepping inside LADY AMANDA reveals an atmosphere that prioritises livability over ostentation. Designer Franck Reynaud’s approach favours pale tones, polished woods, and generous glazing, creating spaces that feel bright, calm, and welcoming. Rather than overwhelming guests with excessive ornamentation, the interior encourages relaxation — an essential quality on a yacht intended for active days and convivial evenings.
Natural light plays a central role in shaping the ambience. Large windows frame constantly changing views of sea and coastline, ensuring that the connection to the outside world is never lost. During the heat of the afternoon, the saloon provides a cool sanctuary; in the evening, it becomes a sophisticated setting for drinks, conversation, or quiet reflection.
Accommodation is arranged across four en-suite cabins designed to host up to ten guests. The full-beam master suite offers generous proportions and a sense of privacy befitting the principal charterer, while the VIP stateroom provides comparable comfort for another couple. Flexible double or twin cabins with Pullman berths allow the yacht to accommodate families, groups of friends, or mixed parties with ease. Each cabin maintains the same understated elegance found in the main living areas, ensuring that comfort extends throughout the vessel.
What distinguishes the interior most clearly is its sociable layout. Spaces flow naturally into one another, encouraging interaction without forcing it. Guests can gather for shared experiences or retreat for solitude as they prefer, a balance that becomes increasingly valuable over multi-day charters.
Outdoor Living as the Core of the LADY AMANDA Experience
While the interior provides comfort and refuge, it is on deck that LADY AMANDA truly comes alive. Her outdoor spaces are arranged to support a fluid lifestyle in which guests move continuously between sun and shade, activity and relaxation, privacy and conviviality. The yacht does not dictate where people should spend their time; instead, it offers multiple appealing options simultaneously.
The flybridge functions as a private rooftop terrace, complete with a Jacuzzi, bar area, and sweeping panoramic views. Elevated above the water, it captures cooling breezes even on the warmest days and becomes a natural gathering point for sunset cocktails or late-night conversations beneath the stars. During lively charters, it often transforms into the social hub of the yacht, yet it can also serve as a peaceful vantage point for quiet contemplation.
Forward sunpads provide a contrasting atmosphere of seclusion. Positioned away from the bustle of the aft deck, they are ideal for reading, sunbathing, or simply watching the Riviera glide past. Many guests discover that these forward spaces become their personal sanctuary, especially during longer voyages.
The aft deck, meanwhile, is configured for dining and shared moments. Long lunches can extend effortlessly into afternoon relaxation, while evening meals benefit from the gentle ambience created by water, light, and open air. The soundscape — soft waves against the hull, distant harbour activity, the occasional call of seabirds — adds a sensory dimension that land-based venues cannot replicate.
A Watersports Arsenal That Transforms the Yacht into a Playground
If there is a single element that elevates LADY AMANDA from refined cruiser to floating adventure platform, it is her exceptional collection of water toys. Equipped by owners who clearly understand the appeal of active yachting, she offers far more than the standard inventory expected on a vessel of her size.
Jet skis and Seabobs provide immediate thrills for those seeking speed and manoeuvrability on the water, while wakeboards and paddleboards invite guests to engage physically with the sea. Snorkelling gear opens a window into the underwater world, particularly rewarding in the clear waters of Corsica or Sardinia. An inflatable ocean pool creates a safe, enclosed swimming area — especially appreciated by families with younger children.
Perhaps the most memorable feature is the dramatic five-metre slide descending from the flybridge directly into the sea. Equal parts playful and spectacular, it embodies the yacht’s philosophy of uninhibited enjoyment. Laughter and excitement often accompany its use, turning even a tranquil anchorage into a scene of shared exhilaration.
The diversity of activities ensures that every generation finds something appealing. Children experience the yacht as a private adventure park, teenagers gravitate toward high-energy pursuits, and adults can choose between participation and observation — perhaps from the comfort of the Jacuzzi with a chilled glass of rosé in hand.
A Mobile Residence at the Heart of Mediterranean Glamour
More than simply a means of transport, LADY AMANDA functions as a mobile residence capable of repositioning itself among the Mediterranean’s most desirable destinations with remarkable ease. Based in Cannes, she operates across the French Riviera, Monaco, Corsica, and the Italian coastline, offering guests privileged access to locations that define European summer culture.
Her presence is particularly notable during major events, when hotel availability becomes scarce and demand for private accommodation surges. During the Cannes Film Festival, MIPIM, and other high-profile gatherings, she serves as both lodging and venue, allowing guests to remain close to the action while retaining privacy and independence. Entertaining on board during such occasions carries an exclusivity that conventional venues struggle to match.
With weekly charter rates beginning at €55,000 per week, she occupies an appealing niche within the market. Guests enjoy a genuine superyacht experience — professional crew, luxurious accommodation, extensive amenities, and total privacy — without the scale or cost associated with much larger vessels. This balance makes her particularly attractive to families, groups of friends, or corporate clients seeking sophistication without excess.
A Charter Yacht Defined by Character Rather Than Size
Ultimately, LADY AMANDA demonstrates that the essence of luxury yachting lies not in length or tonnage but in the quality of the experience delivered. Her appeal stems from a rare equilibrium: performance without discomfort, elegance without rigidity, and entertainment without ostentation. She invites guests to engage with the sea actively, to explore widely, and to celebrate generously, yet she never loses the ability to provide tranquillity when desired.
Some charters aboard her unfold as high-energy adventures filled with watersports, nightlife, and constant movement. Others evolve into slower journeys through quiet bays and hidden coves, where the agenda consists of little more than swimming, dining, and appreciating the beauty of the surroundings. In both scenarios, the yacht proves equally capable, adapting seamlessly to the preferences of those on board.
In a region renowned for spectacle and excess, LADY AMANDA offers something more nuanced and arguably more valuable: authenticity. She feels lived-in rather than staged, joyful rather than austere, and expertly tuned for the pleasures of Mediterranean life. Rather than serving merely as a platform for travel, she becomes a catalyst for shared experiences — the kind that linger in memory long after the charter has ended.
