Summary

At 280ft, Alysia is one of the world's largest yachts for charter. She has unquestionable presence with her sleek hull, at the same time towering but welcoming. Access is easy via passarelle or the wide teak swimming platform. Once on board life unfolds over five spectacular decks. The thirty-six potential guests are looked after by the crew of thirty-four and there is room to entertain at the most lavish level.

With 25,833 sq feet (2,400 square meters) of guest space, everyone can enjoy the Alysia of their choice. And the choice is enormous. Arriving by lift 70 feet (21 meters) up from the sea, the Sun Deck provides privacy, intimacy and spectacular views over your domain. At one end, the heli-pad converts into a circular sunbathing terrace, at the other, is a Jacuzzi surrounded by sun beds.

Crew at the large bar serve anything from a cold drink to a hot buffet - 24 hours a day. For sport, there are four wave-runners, two tenders and a garage full of other leisure equipment including a fully equipped diving centre. At night the Bridge Deck is transformed - dimmed light overhead, candle light on starched white table linen and dinner as only Alysia can provide.

Fine Points

Entertaining
Entertaining on the grand scale is effortless aboard Alysia. Outside, indoors or even using both locations at the same time, guests can sit, dine and relax with ease. The dining saloon seats 36 on large, comfortable chairs with hand-made silk upholstery. The oak tables can be laid with individual place mats or table linen from a range of colors to suit every occasion. Lighting can change the mood at breakfast, lunch or dinner; curtains open and daylight fills the room, overhead lights dimmed, candles lit and the elegant room turns dinner into a banquet.

Main Saloon
The main deck provides one of the largest spaces of any private yacht. Aft, the teak sofas, seats and tables can be illuminated for drinks before or after dinner. Moving indoors, the raised platform rear saloon is ideal for a game of cards or a movie on the 51" screen with surround sound. In the main saloon, fiber optic lit glass pillars emit soft hues of color with silver leaf louvered windows separating the saloon and bar from the dining area. Mirrored ceilings, a grand piano, large sofas and group of armchairs, silk curtains, Michelangelo marble columns and the hand-made, raised pattern carpet all combine to provide the perfect atmosphere for casual entertaining - day or night. The main and dining saloons can also be re-arranged, creating one enormous space suitable for hosting parties or conferences.

Upper Deck Saloon
The Upper deck saloon is like a private club. Two seating areas each with their own plasma screen, a backgammon and card table and a generously stocked bar make this the place to be after dinner. Alternatively stroll downstairs past the spectacular panels of blue Brazilian Makauba marble and take in a movie in the main cinema - the library includes vintage and modern classics.

Cuisine
The accomplished chef provides any type of cuisine at anytime of the day or night. French, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Chinese, Thai, Indian or Russian; vegetarian, vegan, kosher, halal, from a hamburger with chips to halibut with caviar. It is not the type of cuisine but the quality that makes dining on Alysia such an experience. Special meals for babies and children or the ultimate creative gourmet dishes - it's your menu, the chef and his team just make it happen.

Health and Beauty Center
The lower deck health centre is designed for fitness as well as beauty. The tranquil epicenter is a large curved salon set around a marble Jacuzzi. Large slabs of cut-to-curve Azul Paraliso marble are set off by floor to ceiling back-lit glass panels that dissolve through spectrums of purple, blue and green. Recline on the beds and gaze at the aquarium, all under a star ceiling lit by fiber optics.

Programs are designed to sooth and shape the body as well as relax the mind.

Apart from the well-equipped gymnasium, there is a salon for facial and body treatments, a massage room, hair and nail salon as well as separate male and female steam rooms, saunas, showers and Jacuzzi plunge pools.

A second relaxation area provides calm while a trained beautician provides expertise.

Guests can reach the health centre without meeting other guests or crew and while they enjoy their therapy, young children can be looked after in the supervised crèche.

The Cabins
Each guest stateroom is a mini suite with super king-size bed (or large singles), tilting flat screen LCD linked to satellite TV, DVD, CD and radio, writing desk with direct dial telephone links and internet/email connection. All staterooms have hand made carpets, silk curtains, a sofa, walk in closets and large bathroom with bath, shower and separate WC, bidet and twin basins. Bathrooms are finished in large pieces of Michelangelo marble with each basin made out of a single slab.

All staterooms have sophisticated lighting systems with individual controls in both bedroom and bathroom. The 5 menu system allows different levels and locations from full to nightime lighting. Additionally a fiber optic light that moves through different light spectrums illuminates the door between the bed and bathroom.

Master Suite
The 1,313 sq ft (122 sq meters) Upper Deck master suite includes the owner’s stateroom with superior California king-size bed, 180º panoramic windows with remote controlled curtain and access to a private deck. Facing the bed is a retractable 42" plasma television/DVD with Creston control console.

The master bathroom is finished entirely in pure white Afion marble with a double Jacuzzi bath, two basins, two separate WCs and bidets, a separate shower and two walk-in closets.

The suite also has a subsidiary twin stateroom 23 sq m (248 sq ft) with en-suite bathroom for children or personal staff and a fully equipped study.

VIP Suite
The 484 sq ft (45 square meters) VIP stateroom is on the Bridge Deck and includes a sitting room with a 42" plasma television and a large sofa that converts into a double bed. The superior king-size bed faces a flat screen plasma television. There is also a separate plasma television in the sitting room. The bathroom is finished in Michelangelo marble with a Jacuzzi bath, twin basins, large shower room and separate WC and bidet.

Guest State Rooms
Alysia's additional guest suites include eight super king-size doubles and seven twin staterooms, including one equipped for special needs. They are furnished to the highest standards with limed oak paneling, limestone architraves, silk embroidered counterpanes, sofas, a writing desk, titling LCD screen television with DVD and large marble bathrooms.
