SPIIP is a yacht designed for fast cruising in modern style and comfort. The CNB 86’, designed by Philippe Briand, is equally well suited for charter guests seeking performance as those seeking elegance and grace.

SPIIP accommodates 6 guests in 3 ample cabins with ensuite bathroom. The roomy master suite is aft and includes a vanity desk, TV, sound system and spacious ensuite bathroom with shower stall. One of the guest cabins has a double bed convertible into 2 singles.

Guests will enjoy the convenience of the swim platform and will delight in being spirited away to quiet, sandy beaches in the tender only to return to SPIIP rejuvenated and ready to indulge in the superb cuisine on board!

“Everything went well, the itinerary was fantastic and perfect, the weather couldn’t be better. At the end we think we were lucky switching the catamaran Perle Noire for the sailing yacht SPIIP, as the yacht was perfect, beautiful and very comfortable. Captain Robin and Miranda were fantastic very professional and attentive. We really enjoyed our time onboard ”

Clients 29 Jan - 5 Feb 2011- Amazing charters :

Hi Robin & Miranda,

No, it did not go very well IT WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!

You guys did an amazing job and Mort was over the moon. He sent me an e-mail after a couple of days saying how wonderful the yacht and the crew was and he evEn called me before the charter ended to say the same. I have booked 3 or 4 other charters for him and he has always been happy, but never this happy!

I don't know what your formular is, but it sure works. I'll talk to him one of these days and cannot wait to  get the specifics.

I'm so greatful for you making my favorite costumer so happy, thank you, thank you, thank you........

Clients 24-27 March 2011 thru Select Charter Services :
