CHAKRA

CHAKRA is an 86-metre steel displacement motor yacht built in 1998 and extensively refitted in 2025, registered in St Vincent and the Grenadines. Originally built by Scheepswerf Gebr. van der Werf and subsequently converted, she accommodates up to 24 guests across 19 cabins and is operated by a crew of 30. A single MAN engine provides a cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum of 14 knots, with a range of over 5,100 nautical miles supported by 136,000 litres of fuel capacity. Her operational footprint is genuinely global in scope.

CHAKRA is available for yacht charter across an unusually wide range of destinations, including the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Middle East, and multiple island groups. Her region list spans the French Riviera, Greece, Turkey, Croatia, Corsica, the Balearics, and Caribbean destinations including Cuba, the Bahamas, Virgin Islands, and St Barts, alongside Abu Dhabi and Dubai. This breadth makes her well suited to clients planning extended, multi-region itineraries or those seeking one of the largest capacities available in the charter market. She is less well matched to guests seeking a newly built vessel or those for whom age of construction is a primary consideration.

The 2025 refit represents a significant investment aimed at bringing a vessel of this age and capacity up to a presentable operational standard. Onboard facilities include a spa, gymnasium, beauty room, massage room, elevator, deck jacuzzi, outdoor bar, piano, karaoke, and at-anchor stabilisers, along with satellite television, video on demand, and Wi-Fi connectivity throughout. The scale of the vessel and crew ratio supports a structured, hotel-like onboard experience.

CHAKRA carries an active water sports inventory including Seabobs, a jet ski, jetsurf, wakesurf, wakeboard, kayak, paddleboard, kneeboard, water skis, towable toys, and full scuba diving and snorkelling equipment with an onboard compressor capability. For a group of up to 24 guests, the variety of activities available makes her well positioned for parties where members have differing preferences. The size of CHAKRA also means she can serve as an effective base for diving or watersports-focused itineraries in the eastern Mediterranean or the Caribbean.

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