ARYA

Arya is a 40.6-metre displacement motor yacht built by Newcastle in 2013 and refitted in 2022, registered under the Cayman Islands flag. Her steel hull and displacement design place her in a class of vessel built for long passages and genuine seakeeping rather than speed, and at 425 gross tons she carries meaningful volume for a yacht of her length. The 2022 refit signals active investment in her condition, which is a material consideration for any serious charterer.

With accommodation for ten guests across five cabins and a crew of eight, Arya offers a crew-to-guest ratio that supports attentive, personalised service throughout. She is well matched to multigenerational families, small corporate groups, or experienced charterers seeking a capable long-range platform in either the Mediterranean or Caribbean. She is not well suited to large social groups expecting a high-volume entertainment vessel, nor to those prioritising outright speed over range and comfort.

What distinguishes Arya from comparable yachts in her size bracket is her operational range. At 4,520 nautical miles, she sits among the longer-range vessels in her class, genuinely capable of ocean crossings and extended itineraries without the logistical constraints that limit many charter yachts of similar length. Her displacement hull and underway stabilisers deliver a settled, steady motion at sea — a meaningful distinction for guests who spend significant time in passage rather than at anchor.

Arya is oriented firmly around outdoor living and water access. The sun deck, exterior bar, and dual Jacuzzis — one on deck, both supported by at-anchor stabilisers for a level platform — create a sociable environment that works as well at a quiet anchorage as at a marina. Her water sports inventory is extensive for a vessel of her size, covering everything from Seabobs and paddleboards to scuba and snorkelling equipment, a floating pool, and a full complement of towables, making her particularly well suited to active itineraries where the water is as much the destination as the port.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
