The cruising lifestyle affords enjoying ever-changing scenery. It’s why superyacht owners and guests prefer alfresco dining, for instance. It’s also why families prefer sitting out on deck, either in shade or in sun, while the yacht is underway. The yacht Daybreak has an abundance of areas for everyone to enjoy these experiences. But, some of her most unforgettable vistas are inside her doors.
Currently for sale and charter, Daybreak is one of 10 overall deliveries from the Baglietto T52 series, which has ticked the boxes for U.S. buyers. In fact, about half of all buyers were American. (Baglietto retired the series last year, replacing it with a slightly larger model.) Some of the reasons why it’s so popular are easy to decipher straight away. The 171-footer (52-meter) has a three-level beach area with a pool, for example. Another hot tub, with glass sides, sits prominently on the sundeck.
Yet another reason for the popularity is the ability to customize the platform. The owner of the yacht Daybreak added a DJ station, since he likes entertaining. A firepit is also aboard, as is a barbecue for a meal and a show.
But, the greatest degree of customization is in each and every room. The owner chose to work with the father and son team of Studio Vafiadis for his vision of Art Deco elegance. According to the designers, the décor even has a bit of a nautical, Riva-esque aesthetic. For example, the teak flooring mimics outside decks, with white strips between the wood. Echoing the famous powerboats, high-gloss, dark woods clad custom furnishings, contrasting with cream leathers and fabrics.
The highest-impact rooms aboard the yacht Daybreak are certainly the open-plan saloon and dining area, the master suite, and the guest staterooms. Once guests enter the doors from the aft deck, the dining area’s backlit onyx wall commands their attention. Farther forward on the same deck, the full-beam master suite shows off horizontal stainless steel bands on the bedside tables. They repeat across the vanity in the en suite bath, too. More striking, though, is the marble-framed blue leather headboard for the California king. Additionally, dark Zyricote wood here and in the guest suites on walls contrasts with paler wall panels and overheads.
Daybreak is available for €34.999 million (about $40.823 million) via the central listing of Fraser Yachts. She’s further available for charter, with her weekly base rate starting at $300,000.
