CAB2 (Duke of York - Cabin (triple-1 double + 1 single bed))

A tiny footprint This 36-metre motoryacht with just one cabin and three berths is genuinely unusual, it's essentially a floating villa for a couple or very small group rather than a typical charter vessel. With only three sleeping spots, CAB2 only makes sense if you're chartering solo, as a pair, or with one guest maximum.

Standout comfort features For an intimate getaway, the onboard kit is solid: air conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV, and water toys (dinghy and SUP) mean you won't feel roughing it. The gennaker suggests she handles nicely under sail when the mood takes you, though as a motoryacht, engine cruising will be your primary mode.

Value and practicality The zero deposit is refreshingly straightforward, and Maldives-based charters appeal to long-haul guests from Europe and North America seeking turquoise waters and serious privacy. Just confirm current rates with Luxury Yacht Maldives, as pricing won't display here, but expect premium pricing for this level of exclusivity.

One honest note The Maldives location means you're flying 12+ hours from the UK or US, so factor in airport transfers and travel fatigue. Also verify that one-cabin layout actually suits your party before booking, this vessel really only works for genuinely small groups or couples.
