Yacht Spotlight
When you first see Whisper, the reaction is usually the same: silence and awe. “It’s that first moment,” says Captain Marko, speaking from the bridge. “As the tender approaches and guests look up at her beautiful lines, take in her sheer presence, she’s distinctive, iconic. Whisper captures guests’ attention, their imagination. It’s very impressive.” And he’s right. At 95 metres, she’s one of the most striking yachts afloat — winner of a coveted World Superyacht Award and a benchmark for modern design. Docked in port, Whisper is a crowd draw. Sculptural, sleek, bold, architectural decks stacked like sun-struck terraces. But behind her good looks lies something rarer still: a yacht that feels alive.
A World of Her Own
Inside, Whisper reads like the blueprint for a floating resort. There are five decks, each with its own personality. The double-height main salon, with its cinematic scale and soft lighting, flows into a glass-lined atrium staircase that climbs to an elegant upper-deck lounge and formal dining room for 18. Below, a full-service spa offers hammam, plunge pool and massage suite — a cocoon of wellness.
And everywhere, there’s a sense of fluidity. Sea terraces open from the lobby and gym, connecting guests directly with the water. The foredeck transforms from a basketball court by day to a candle-lit dining terrace by night. It’s a yacht designed for transformation — for guests who might start the morning with sunrise yoga and end it dancing beneath the stars.
A World of Her Own
But ask Captain Marko what really sets Whisper apart, and he doesn’t talk about design or engineering. He talks about people.
“Honestly, it’s the crew,” he says without hesitation. “The moment you step on Whisper, you feel a team that genuinely loves what they do. You can’t fake that, and guests feel it instantly. That’s the secret sauce to an unforgettable vacation.”
It’s an insight that reveals why Whisper has become one of the most sought-after charter yachts in the Y.CO fleet. While her exterior might impress, it’s the warmth of her service — the laughter on deck, the easy confidence of a crew that anticipates needs before they’re voiced — that guests remember most.

A World of Her Own
Of course, luxury on this scale invites creativity. One of Captain Marko’s favourite evenings to host takes place far from the formality of a dining room.
“We call it the Super Bowl of Dining,” he laughs. “It’s set right on the bow — completely open to the sky, surrounded by sea on three sides. We turn what’s normally a basketball court into a magical, starlit space with tables, lights, and flowers. It’s wide open, unobstructed, and absolutely unforgettable.”
It’s that sense of surprise — the idea that a yacht can be reimagined at a moment’s notice — that defines Whisper. Whether she’s anchored off Capri, the bays of Sardinia, or drifting among the Grenadines, her design allows guests to shape each day exactly as they wish: large-scale entertaining one night, quiet solitude the next.
A World of Her Own
Ask Captain Marko to describe his ideal charter day and his eyes light up.
“It starts at anchor, somewhere idyllic,” he says. “Maybe off Positano or Capri. The sun’s up, the sea’s calm, there’s a breeze just enough to ripple the surface. You walk out on deck, coffee in hand, and the breakfast buffet’s ready — fresh fruit, pastries, everything perfect.”
Then the day unfolds at your own pace. Perhaps a tender trip ashore for shopping or a swim from the yacht’s sea terraces. Families often gravitate to the toy deck, where the crew set up an arsenal of adventure — jet skis, paddleboards, Seabobs, kayaks, e-foils, towables, diving gear, even a floating trampoline.
“We’ve got something for everyone,” says Marko. “From kids to grandparents, you can be as relaxed or as adrenaline-filled as you want. Some go for the jet boots — they shoot you a few metres above the water — pretty cool to watch, even if I’ve not dared try it yet.”
Afternoons drift into sunset. Guests might take a tender cruise along the coast before cocktails on the aft deck or dinner under the stars. It’s the relaxed rhythm of life at sea — just effortless.
A World of Her Own
Whisper’s award-winning Reymond Langton design combines grandeur with intimacy. Despite her 95 metres, she feels surprisingly human in scale. Lighting softens edges, creating warmth; materials flow from marble to glass to wood without ever feeling cold. Every deck connects seamlessly — generous staircases, curved lines, uninterrupted sightlines.
That design thinking matters. It’s what makes a vast yacht feel personal. It’s why a group of 12 guests can share a space made for 200 yet still feel at home. It’s what allows Whisper to shift easily from sun-drenched poolside mornings to candle-lit soirées that can feel both cinematic and familiar.
A World of Her Own
After all, this is what chartering Whisper is about — not just the destination, but the moments of journey in between.
“My favourite thing,” Captain Marko says, “is realising that our guests could be anywhere in the world — they have the means to do anything — and yet they’ve chosen to be here, with us. Seeing them relax, laugh, and create memories with their families… that’s the reward. That’s why we do it.”
It’s a reminder that the greatest luxury isn’t just found in polished marble or precision engineering, but in the freedom to be completely present — to slow down, to play, to connect. On Whisper, that freedom is the true signature of the experience.
A World of Her Own
From the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, Whisper’s twin seasons offer a world of possibilities. Perhaps exploring the sun-kissed coves of Corsica, or diving the crystal shallows of the Exumas. Wherever she drops anchor, she carries her own sense of place.
Guided by Captain Marko, Whisper takes on a life of her own. As he puts it, “a little island of our own in the middle of the ocean.”
When it’s time to disembark, what do guests usually say at the end of a charter? Captain Marko smiles. “That’s easy,” he says. “We’ll be back.”
