MAKAYABELLA

Crew Profile Menu Testimonials Features & AmenitiesLayout

Personally guided “snorkel safari’s” are Makayabella’s speciality and they come highly recommended because of their ability to find and identify not just the common species but also some of the more elusive and unusual fish and other sea creatures. Guests are able to use Johns underwater camera and download their photos on to a disc to take home.
Sleeps 6 in 4 cabins

Makayabella is a 62ft aluminium custom built yacht designed by Georges Auzept-Brenneau in the Trehard Boatyard in Antibes, France.

She was built especially for chartering and features an unusually large, uncluttered centre cockpit with comfortable, cushioned seating which is shaded from the sun. Side panels can be dropped to provide extra shade from sun or shelter from rain.

The stern cockpit houses the helm and all the winches and is covered by a separate bimini.

Below deck the saloon is furnished with bright coloured fabrics and has seating for 6 or 8 guests around the dining table. Two guest cabins have double beds and two guest cabins have twin beds. All cabins have their own en-suite shower room with electric toilet facilities. The crew has separate access to their own cabin and has their own en-suite shower and toilet.
