Cabins
Below deck, yachts consist of four to five double cabins, with bunk cabins available for solo travellers and sharing groups, and two to three shared bathrooms. You'll also find a large kitchen with a fridge to keep your drinks cold, a communal lounge and stereo system to get the tunes going on the top deck.
