Free At Last Yacht Charter in Caribbean

About Free At Last

Boarding FREE AT LAST immediately leads to her delightful teak flush deck, featuring U-shaped sofas and two large steering wheels at stern. Ideal for both cruising with friends and family as well as competitive regattas, the space is expansive enough for dining al fresco with a relaxed atmosphere. The sofas can be converted into sunbathing areas should guests wish, and become shaded by awnings to protect from midday heat.
FREE AT LAST boasts a large open space within the interior, creating a cosy atmosphere through warm wooden décor and blue fabrics. A dining table is suitable for meals on board thanks to the abundance of natural light through large portholes and ceiling hatches. The space leads on to the 2 guest cabins (convertible double or twin) and master cabin of FREE AT LAST, all of which can accommodate up to 8 guests.
The kitchen is located the opposite end of the yacht to avoid any disturbances for guests on board. Amongst the professional crew, an experienced chef will be able to cater to any dietary requirement and create fresh exciting dishes.
Please note that the boat underwent a complete re-build between autumn 2023 to spring 2025. The boat was stripped to the bare aluminum hull and completely re-built with all technical systems, rigging and equipment new at the Seven Stars Shipyard in Pisa. The works were conducted under the supervision of Rina and of the Maltese survey, so that the boat will be in class with Rina with an unrestricted commercial Maltese license with no limits to navigation. The exterior was fully repainted and the teak deck was rebuilt from scratch. The internal furniture, already in a very good shape, was refurbished to look impeccable once finished. For the guests’ comfort, a new high-tech air conditioning system and new music system by Sonos were installed in the interior with speakers also in the cockpit. The kitchen is now fully enclosed. All internal lighting is new, with light spots and led strips. Wifi is guaranteed throughout the boat thanks to a cellular antenna on the mast and 2 Starlink antennas on the first spreader.

Accommodation

The space leads on to the 2 guest cabins (convertible : double or twin) both with pullman and a master cabin of FREE AT LAST, all of which can accommodate up to 8 guests. Each featuring an ensuite bathroom.
