Lagoon 56ft - 2013 (Refit 2019)

Altesse

Yacht description

ALTESSE is a Lagoon 560 offering an exceptional charter experience throughout the Virgin Islands. Her bright, contemporary interior is complemented by plenty of outdoor space, including a fully covered flybridge that is perfect for relaxed dining, taking in the views or simply enjoying the breeze. The custom champagne deck, extending out over the water, is an especially lovely spot for sunset drinks.

Sleeping up to eight guests, ALTESSE has a spacious master suite, two queen cabins and a bunk cabin, making her particularly well suited to families with children. All cabins have private ensuite bathrooms, while the crew are accommodated separately in the port aft cabin.

Our personal opinion

There is a lot to like about ALTESSE, but after being onboard, it is the overall experience that stood out to us. She has loads of space, lovely bright areas for relaxing and an impressive covered flybridge where you can enjoy the views whatever the weather. And then there is the champagne deck — a wonderful spot for sitting over the water with a glass of champagne as the sun sets.

Nick and Amy are the icing on the cake. They are genuinely lovely people — warm, welcoming and great company — but also highly professional and clearly very experienced. They have a relaxed, friendly approach that makes guests feel looked after without ever feeling fussed over. For us, that is exactly what you want from a charter crew.
