Charter destination
South of France (flexible in the Med)
About this yacht
FORCE BLUE is a 70.56-metre Royal Denship expedition yacht built in 2002 and recently refreshed with an extensive 2025 refit, positioning her as one of the Mediterranean's most versatile and well-appointed charter vessels. Designed by Tom Fexas with an interior by Celeste dell'Anna, this steel-hulled ocean-going superyacht combines robust engineering with refined luxury—a rare combination in the explorer yacht category.
What distinguishes FORCE BLUE is her exceptional wellness and lifestyle infrastructure. Her spa centre, among the largest afloat, encompasses a steam shower, hammam, mud bath, sauna, hydromassage suite, dedicated massage room, and on-board masseuse and beautician. The fully equipped gym on the lower deck, cinema room seating seven on the Owner's deck, and dedicated disco area with professional DJ station reflect a design philosophy centred on guest indulgence and entertainment. An elevator serves the main deck through to the sundeck, ensuring seamless access throughout the vessel.
Accommodation comprises six cabins sleeping twelve guests in total—one Master, one VIP, three Double Cabins, and one Twin—each thoughtfully appointed. Beyond the staterooms, FORCE BLUE's public spaces are notably generous: a light and refreshing interior accented by a distinctive art collection, extensive alfresco dining areas, and abundant lounging venues create an atmosphere of understated elegance. The recent refit added a significant new beach club at sea level, featuring an extended swim platform and exceptional lounging and sunbathing areas with direct water access—particularly valuable for younger guests and water sports enthusiasts.
A professional crew of 21 manages all aspects of the charter experience, supported by diving instructors and water sports specialists. The toy locker is comprehensive, including three wave runners, jet skis, water skis, seabobs, wakeboards, paddleboards, flyboards, and hoverboards. With twin Caterpillar 3512B engines delivering 14-knot cruise speed and 16-knot maximum speed, FORCE BLUE ranges effectively throughout the Mediterranean and beyond.
Based south of France with flexibility across Mediterranean cruising grounds, FORCE BLUE charter rates from €360,000 to €390,000 per week. Her proven capability to host intimate family charters of twelve or grand events up to 60 seated guests (or 300–350 quayside) makes her ideally suited to discerning clients seeking a vessel that combines expedition credentials with palace-like comfort and entertainment infrastructure.

What is included in the charter rate for FORCE BLUE?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 21, insurance, and use of the onboard equipment and water toys. Fuel, food and beverages, berthing and port fees, and shore excursions are paid from the APA, and VAT is charged on the base rate. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is typically around 40% of the base rate, held by the captain and accounted for in full — unspent balance is refunded at disembarkation. Greek charter VAT varies by yacht and by charter, broadly between 5.2% and 24%, depending on the yacht's type, size and certification, the duration of the charter, whether it passes through international waters, and whether the yacht carries permanent professional crew. We confirm the applicable rate for FORCE BLUE before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter FORCE BLUE?+
FORCE BLUE charters from €360,000 per week in low season and €390,000 in high season — a difference of about 8% between the two. In Greece, July and August are peak: the most settled weather, the busiest anchorages, and the highest rates. Late May, June, and September offer warm water and quieter islands at the low-season rate, and are what we most often recommend. The meltemi wind is strongest in July and August across the Cyclades, which is worth weighing if sea state matters to your party.
