Description.

With her distinguished hull and classically stylish exterior profile, Sherakhan is a head-turning charter yacht with an excellent reputation. She is an attractive choice for large or small groups of friends or family thanks to her versatile and spacious accommodation. Her imaginative, contemporary interior is a delight to behold, and ideal for entertaining in style. Outstanding features include an inspiring, open main saloon with a dining area for 26. It is bathed in natural light filtered through the glass-bottomed Jacuzzi, located above on her large sundeck area, which boasts numerous lounging facilities.

Accommodation

Master with Jacuzzi , private terrace, lounge area/ and study which can be converted to a double. All the double beds are king size. All suites are equipped with a television, DVD, stereo and ipod dock, mini bar, safe, air-conditioning/ heating, a vanity table/desk, a computer point and wifi, relaxing chairs, saloon table, a very spacious walk-in closet, bathroom with toilet, bidet, bath (Jacuzzi), double basin and shower Main-deck: Once you set foot on the gangway, you will be surprised by the beautiful details, the enormous deck areas, astonishing woodwork and the incredible choice of outside furniture! We are sure you have never experienced a view as marvelous as the one from the look-out house. The Jacuzzi is very big (18 people)and of course we have a complete B.B.Q. area When you finally come inside, you will be surprised by the beam of the yacht. The main saloon is about 20 meters long and 9 meters wide. The style is cozy and, what we think is the most important, homely. Every single guest on MY Sherakhan must immediately have the feeling that this is their home and can relax the way they want! This is the way we chartered M.Y. Jaguar for many years, and with a lot of success. The main saloon is visually divided into two areas; On one side we find the dining area; with a beautiful table, where 22/24 people can be seated. On both sides of the dining table there are 2 impressive stairs which lead you to the owners deck. When you sit at the dining table and look up, you will be impressed by the atrium. You can look completely to the roof of the yacht where the Jacuzzi with glass bottom is situated. The enormous chandelier is of course specially designed for this area of 7 meters of height. The other side of the saloon is furnished to relax. Nice cozy couches, homely armchairs, enormous vases, a fireplace, a flat screen television, a bar where you can sit down to enjoy your drinks and of course a little podium with a white grand piano. Although the area is big, you will never have the chance to feel “lost”. From this area you have a nice view on the aft deck where the outside dining table is situated. When you walk through this area and pass the dining table, you will enter the vestibule. Here you can choose to go down to the beauty saloon and the suites on the accommodation deck or even go to the fitness-massage, sauna and Jacuzzi on the lower deck. When you go straight on from the vestibule, you will first meet the ladies room on one side and on the other side the library. After passing a door, you will come to the corridor on which has 2 spacious suites on each side. All four of them have are in the region of 38 square meters with an en-suite bathroom with bath and showers as well. (The size of 38 m2 is only the suite; it does not include the bathroom!) The suites: Our feeling about a big yacht is that also the suites must be large! When guests want to have some privacy, not only during the night…, they must experience all the luxury of a 5 star+ accommodation and of course be surrounded by a nicely furnished and decorated ambiance. All the double beds are king size. All suites are equipped with a television, DVD, stereo, mini bar, safe, air-conditioning/ heating, a vanity table/desk, a computer point, relaxing chairs, saloon table, a very spacious walk-in closet, bathroom with toilet, bidet, bath (Jacuzzi), double basin and shower. The way the woodwork is done, is astonishing! Nice and with unexpected details….. Accommodation deck: On the accommodation deck, you will find 4 suites. The smallest is 34 m2 and the biggest 37,3 m2. They are fitted just like all the others. You also will find two bunked cabins these can be either children’s themed cabins, ( or for security staff / adults. as the beds are 2m long. These cabins are connected with the 2 suites next door, but can also be used completely separately. The last area of importance on this deck is the beauty saloon. The beauty saloon is also fully equipped hair- and nail studio. So the guests can be pampered as much as they want! Lower deck: When you walk down the stairs, at the end of the corridor on the accommodation deck, you will enter a world of body pleasure! First take a drink at the bar to get used to the idea of exercise, then some fitness on the most modern equipment, followed by a well-deserved massage, going into the sauna to give your body the most precious rest and end up in the Jacuzzi to cool down! What more can a person wish for…..? Apart from all the equipment available here, the area in which this is situated is a feast for the eyes. Because of its location, completely in the front of the ship, below decks, the area is built like an American loft. Something like this hasn’t been shown before, the fantastic mosaics will amaze you. Owners deck: We leave this deck and follow our “tour” to the saloon on the owners deck. The one you can reach from the vestibule on the main deck or with the stairs besides the dining table. When you come by the 2 enormous stairs, your attention will be attracted by the spectacular view down on the dining table. There is a vacant space of 6 meters long and 3 meters wide! In this way, the areas are not completely separated but in a creative way connected with each other. The saloon is further furnished with exclusive and comfortable chairs, a bar with an integrated piano and a dance floor for the people who cannot control their feet! During the day time, this area will be quite popular! Reading and relaxing when the sun is too hot or having a drink or playing some chess. During the night this saloon will be perfect for having swinging cocktails before dinner. In the meantime the crew can set a wonderful decorated table and the guests will be surprised when they walk down the stairs to enjoy their dinner! Besides the saloon, this deck contains 2 suites of 31 m2 and 1 Master Cabin of almost 51 m2! This deck is completely outfitted for the owner with a huge study. Like the name reveals, this will be a Masterpiece! Located completely in the front of the ship, with an amazing view over the sea, this cabin has even its own terrace! The Jacuzzi is in the middle of the room, apart from the bathroom. The special effect of this cabin must be seen to be believed! The outer deck on the owners deck will have comfortable chairs, footstools and even table lamps for the people who want be outside at night and enjoy a good book or just want to sit in silence and enjoy the stars……… On every outer deck there will be music, when wanted. Wheelhouse-deck: The last deck is the wheelhouse deck. You can reach this deck from the corridor on the owners deck or from outside. On this deck the wheelhouse is situated, but the most important of all……..the Jacuzzi, loads of deck chairs, a bar, a B.B.Q. area, shade for the burnt ones and of course the look-out house!!!! Between the 2 funnels, we created a real look-out house. Once you are up there, you will be taken by surprise!!! The height of this location will be 20 meters above the waterline, so you can easily imagine what sort of view you can have up there! A 360° view for the star watchers, this is the ultimate spot….

Built in the Netherlands as passenger ship Princess Margaret in 1966, SHERAKHAN’s current owner rebuilt the boat from the hull up in 2005 with a further extensive refit completed in 2018. With an excellent reputation and multiple repeat charter clients, SHERAKHAN is a firm favourite with large groups and families.

Her boutique style accommodation for up to 26 guests, offers individually styled suites each named after a famous author. The rest of her onboard spaces naturally cater to entertaining and socialising in large groups with an 18-person sun deck jacuzzi, a spacious bar and lounge area and interior and deck dining for all 26 guests. SHERAKHAN’s crew are also known for creating magical themed days and dining experiences, perfect if you’re travelling with children. Guests can also find intimate spaces for moments of peace and privacy on board; relax with a good book in her library, enjoy a treatment in the beauty and massage room or unwind in the spa.

Not only does SHERAKHAN offer endless entertainment on board but her plethora of tenders and water toys provide on-the-water fun for all ages and allow guests to explore more of their destination.

An accomplished world-cruising yacht, SHERAKHAN and her crew are as comfy chartering in Antarctica or the Arctic as they are in Fiji. The safety of her guests is always prioritised and her impressive stability ensures comfortable cruising, even when exploring off the beaten track.

PRESENTING SHERAKHAN

Custom-built in 2004, motor yacht SHERAKHAN is the culmination of a dream for her owner. With few yachts legally able to accommodate more than 12 passengers, the owner of mega yacht SHERAKHAN set out to build a yacht with room for more than 20 guests. With nine double and four twin cabins, the owner achieved his goal, as this megayacht can accommodate 26 guests.

ACCOMMODATIONS

There is space in the dining room of megayacht SHERAKHAN for an extended family of 22 passengers. Guest suites range from 30 to 50 square meters and feature impressive decor, style, and of course, sheer size.

The Master cabin features a Jacuzzi, revolving bed, private terrace, lounge area, and study. All doubles have king-sized beds.  The single beds convert into doubles. Each suite has a television, DVD, stereo, mini bar, safe, air-conditioning/heating, a vanity table/desk, and a computer.  Additionally, relaxing chairs, a saloon table, and a very spacious walk-in closet.  Finally, a bathroom with toilet, bidet, Jacuzzi bath, double basin, and shower.

The 7-meter Atrium is bathed in natural light, filtered down through the glass-bottomed Jacuzzi (with seating for 18). A unique lookout-house is perched above the sundeck, nearly 20 meters above the waterline, and the views are stunning.

Exercise and physical-fitness buffs will truly enjoy the superyacht’s inventory of toys.  For instance, 2 Yamaha Jetski superjet 700’s and Yamaha FX1400 and XL700 waverunners. In addition, two 24-foot Clubman tenders with 260 horsepower inboard engines. After an active day, guests enjoy some quiet time in the beauty salon or the massage room. Subsequently, a session in the sauna, Jacuzzi, or Fitness room.

Sherakhan endured a 2-month refit in preparation for a global charter itinerary. Her journey includes the Caribbean, Panama, Antarctica, and South Africa.  In addition, the Seychelles Islands, Thailand, Bali, Fiji, and Costa Rica. She received a new paint job and overhauled systems.  For example, environmentally-friendly, lower emission gensets (generators).

SHERAKHAN Yacht – Phenomenal $25 Million Superyacht

Once known as Lady Margaret , the SHERAKHAN yacht was later rebuilt and renamed in 2005, and was made into the luxury vessel we see today.

Functioning as a charter vessel for the past 10 years, she is well suited for guests and offers a wonderful charter experience.

SHERAKHAN yacht interior

Designed by Rijntjes Interior Design, the SHERAKHAN yacht is a luxurious vessel suitable for charter. Inside she has a spa and a beauty salon, as well as a gym.

A big master suite features its own study, and there are plenty of rooms for guests to explore.

Perfectly suited for relaxation, she has a sauna that guests can use after a day at the spa, or after enjoying the jacuzzi on board.

There’s plenty of space for guests in the 13 suits available. SHERAKHAN is considered to be perfect for conferences or for other special occasions. The philosophy is to not let excess furniture take away from the beauty of the yacht itself.

The interior is mostly white, with a modern look. Guests can enjoy a sleek, contemporary design that brings out the small details in every room.

Specifications

SHERAKHAN is 69,65 meters (228,6 ft) long, with a beam of 12 meters (39,4 ft), and a draft of 4,5 meters (14,9 ft). She has a maximum speed of 12 knots, and a cruising speed of 10 knots.

Thanks to her full-displacement hull, the SHERAKHAN yacht is very stable while at anchor. She is powered by one Caterpillar engine. She can hold up to 22 guests and up to 19 crew.

The elegant exterior of SHERAKHAN was designed by Verkerk Yachting Projects. Her white, sleek design cuts through the water with finesse, and if you were to find yourself on board, there are a plethora of water toys to entertain you.

Waterslides along the side of the vessel, jet skis, kayaks, and wakeboards are just some of the things there are to choose from.

Her exterior spaces are very large, and there’s a lookout house where you can enjoy the view.

The overwhelmingly white exterior was a conscious choice from the owner, who wanted people to be able to see every detail of the vessel, and not have the nuances be lost due to darker colors.

The SHERAKHAN yacht is available for charter in Northern Europe in both Summer and Winter. The weekly rate for a charter is approximately $510,500.

1965 – Yacht launched as Princess Margaret

2005 – Rebuilt and renamed Sherakhan

Mike Lynch and daughter among six missing after yacht sinks: Everything we know so far about disaster off Sicily coast

One person is confirmed to have died after the British-flagged luxury vessel named Bayesian sank, with 22 people on board. Sky News looks at what we know about the tragedy.

News reporter @samuelosborne93

British tech billionaire Mike Lynch and his daughter are among six people missing after a superyacht sank in a storm off the coast of Sicily - with one person confirmed to have died.

Twenty-two people were on board the vessel, with 15 rescued - including Britons Charlotte Golunski, 35, and her one-year-old daughter Sofia.

Four other Britons and two Americans remain missing, including Mr Lynch and his 18-year-old daughter Hannah, according to Italian media. The entrepreneur's wife was rescued.

Here's everything we know about the sinking of the luxury vessel so far.

Follow live: People missing after superyacht sinks

What might have caused the sinking?

The British-flagged luxury vessel, named Bayesian, capsized at around 4.30am local time off Palermo, according to ship-tracking site Marine Traffic.

It sank with 22 people on board consisting of 12 passengers and a crew of 10, according to the Italian coastguard.

Waterspouts, essentially tornados which form over water, were seen as powerful winds battered the area overnight, local media said.

What are waterspouts?

Waterspouts typically occur during thunderstorms and can develop very rapidly, within minutes.

Their spin generally reaches wind speeds between 75-200mph, but can reach as high as 300mph.

They can travel at around 10-20mph typically but can reach greater speeds on occasions, making them difficult to avoid - especially in something as slow-moving as a yacht.

Matthew Schanck, chair of the Maritime Search and Rescue Council, called the reports of a tornado or waterspout "rare" and "quite alarming".

"The vessel was at anchor in a recognised anchorage," Mr Schanck said.

"Depending on wind direction and the state of the sea, this informs the captain whether it is a safe area to anchor or not. There was nothing that was too concerning, for my eye. All in all, the captain used the information they had to make a safe call."

Who owns the yacht?

British tech tycoon Mike Lynch is among those missing.

The 59-year-old owner of the yacht is known as the "British Bill Gates" and has been in the headlines in recent months over a high-profile fraud case.

In June, a US jury cleared him of all charges , which were related to the sale of his software company Autonomy to Hewlett-Packard (HP) in 2011.

HP accused him of deliberately overstating the value of the company before it was acquired by the American technology firm.

Mr Lynch was extradited to the US to face trial in May last year and spent 13 months under house arrest in San Francisco as he awaited trial on 17 charges of conspiracy and wire fraud brought by the US Department of Justice - which were later reduced to 15 charges.

He always denied any wrongdoing and was acquitted.

Mr Lynch's wife Angela Bacares is confirmed to be among those rescued.

Who was on board when the boat sank?

The vessel had passengers from Britain, America and Canada, the Italian coastguard said.

Most of those on board the yacht were British, Italian news outlets have reported, claiming the other people were from New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Ireland and British-French citizens.

Charlotte Golunski was among the Britons rescued. Her LinkedIn profile says she is a partner at Mr Lynch's firm Invoke Capital and has worked there since 2012.

Speaking after the ordeal, Ms Golunski told Italian media that she lost her daughter Sofia for "two seconds" amid the "fury" of the sea but was able to retrieve her.

She said she held the infant above the waves until the lifeboat was ready.

"Many people screamed. Luckily the lifeboat inflated and 11 of us were able to get on board," she told ANSA.

The girl's father James Emsley also survived, according to Sicily's civil protection agency.

Before working at Invoke Capital, Ms Golunski worked at Hewlett Packard for 11 months and studied history at the University of Oxford.

Eight of those rescued were transferred to local hospitals and all were in stable condition, local media reported.

During rescue efforts, divers saw "corpses through the portholes" of the wreck as they recovered the body of a man at a depth of 50m (164ft), according to Salvo Cocina, the head of the Civil Protection of Sicily.

Considering the size of the vessel, authorities would have been alerted about the emergency quickly, Mr Schanck said.

He said the time of the incident would have made the search and rescue operation difficult.

"Visibility [would have been hampered] with it being night time or early morning," he said. "Given the fact most people on board would have been asleep down below, the ability for them to get out to safety could have been challenging, especially if the incident unfolded quickly."

What do we know about the vessel?

The Bayesian was known for its unusual 75m (246ft) single mast - one of the world's tallest made of aluminium.

The yacht's name resonates with Mr Lynch because the software that made his fortune was based on a statistical method known as Bayesian inference - based on an 18th century theory, that helps forecasters predict outcomes more reliably.

The yacht was built by Italian company Perini Navi in 2008 and was last refitted in 2020.

It was listed for rent for up to €195,000 (£166,000) a week, according to online charter sites.

The luxury vessel, which was managed by yachting company Camper & Nicholsons, can accommodate up to 12 guests in six suites.

It won a string of awards for its design, according to online specialist yacht sites.

Mr Schanck said the vessel would have been equipped with "high standard" life-saving appliances and radio communications. He added the yacht would have met all international standards and UK maritime coastguard agency regulations before its voyage.

The boat left the Sicilian port of Milazzo on 14 August and was last tracked east of Palermo on Sunday evening, with a navigation status of "at anchor", according to vessel tracking site VesselFinder.

The Bayesian previously travelled to other parts of Sicily before its last sighting off the coast of the port of Porticello.

On Sunday, the boat was seen off the coast of Cefalu before it travelled towards Porticello, MarineTraffic data shows.

In the days before, the yacht travelled around four of the Aeolian islands, just north of Sicily.

It was previously named Salute, or "health" in Italian, when it flew under a Dutch flag. Its minimalist interior featured light wood with Japanese accents designed by the French designer Remi Tessier, according to descriptions on charter sites.

At Least 1 Dead and 6 Missing After Yacht Sinks Off Sicily

Fifteen other people were rescued. Expert divers were called in to carry out search operations in the deep water. Among the missing was a British software mogul, Mike Lynch.

At least one person was killed and six others, including a British software mogul, were missing on Monday after a sailing yacht carrying 22 people sank during a violent storm off the coast of Sicily, Italian officials said.

The yacht sank after a storm “with strong winds” struck around 5 a.m., according to Luciano Pischedda, the Italian Coast Guard official overseeing the rescue operations. The vessel had been anchored about a half-mile off Porticello, about 12 miles east of the Sicilian capital, Palermo.

Camper & Nicholsons, managers of the sailing yacht, said in an emailed statement that there were 12 guests and 10 crew onboard.

The authorities have yet to determine what caused the yacht to sink. “This will be ascertained later,” Mr. Pischedda said, adding that several crew members were in the hospital and had not spoken to investigators.

Among the dead and missing, four were British, two were American, and one was a man with dual citizenship from Canada and Antigua, he said.

One of those unaccounted for is Mike Lynch, a British software mogul who was acquitted in the United States in June of fraud, according to a person with knowledge of the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about it.

His wife, Angela Bacares, was rescued. Mr. Lynch, who once was described as Britain’s Bill Gates, had fought for more than a decade against accusations that he had defrauded Hewlett-Packard when he sold it his company, Autonomy, for $11 billion. The legal battle represented one of the biggest fraud cases in Silicon Valley history.

Salvatore Cocina, a top official with Sicily’s civil protection agency, said that Mr. Lynch’s daughter, Hannah Lynch, was also among the six people missing. All were passengers on the yacht, the Coast Guard said.

Mr. Cocina said the body that had been recovered was that of the yacht’s cook.

A passenger ship sailing under the flag of the Netherlands, the Sir Robert Baden Powell, anchored nearby, provided immediate assistance to the 15 surviving passengers, Mr. Pischedda said.

Karsten Börner, the captain of the Sir Robert, said in a telephone interview that he’d had to steady his ship to “keep it in position” during what he described as very strong winds. During the storm, the yacht seemed to disappear, he said. “At a certain moment she was gone behind us,” he said.

After the wind dropped down, “we couldn’t see the yacht any more, and then we saw a red flare,” he added. When he and a colleague went to check out the flare’s position, they spotted a “life raft adrift with 15 people on board, one of them a baby and four people injured,” he said. They were taken aboard the Sir Robert and Captain Börner contacted the Coast Guard, which brought the survivors to shore.

Captain Börner said he didn’t know when the ship went down because the storm made it difficult to see clearly. The wind was “really violent,” he said.

For the most part, the survivors didn’t speak much he said. “They were all under shock,” he said. “It was a bad, bad situation.”

Monday’s storm surprised experts with its intensity.

Col. Attilio Di Diodato, director of the Italian Air Force’s Center for Aerospace Meteorology and Climatology, said the agency had registered intense lighting activity and strong gusts of wind in the area at the time of the accident.

“It was very intense and brief in duration,” he said of the storm. He could not rule out that it had been a waterspout, or small tornado, but nevertheless called it “an important event.”

Italy’s firefighter corps said that its divers had started carrying out a search and rescue mission at dawn.

On Monday afternoon, expert divers with the firefighter corps arrived in Porticello to search the sunken vessel, which was under about 165 feet of water.

Operations at that depth, were “complicated,” and required specialized divers, said Luca Cari, a spokesman for the firefighters.

Fabio Cefalù, a fisherman in Porticello, told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that he saw a waterspout — a sort of mini-tornado — that lasted “about 12 minutes” off the shore of Porticello shortly before 4 a.m.

Around 4:10, he said he saw a red flare go off “about 500 meters from the shore.” He said he waited for the weather to calm down, and went out about 20 minutes later to the site where the flare had gone off.

“We found only the cushions, and a few planks” floating in the water, he told the newspaper. There was no sign of the ship, and he immediately called the coast guard.

The boat, identified by Italian officials as the Bayesian, is an Italian-made 56-meter-long sailing yacht first launched in 2008, according to the website marinetraffic.com , which tracks ships. It sails under the flag of Britain, and was built by Perini Navi, an Italian luxury yacht maker.

Eight of the 15 passengers who were rescued were taken to hospitals in Palermo, the coast guard said. Camper & Nicholsons, the managers of the yacht, said its priority was to “provide all necessary support to the rescued passengers and crew.”

Giuseppe D’Agostino, the mayor of Santa Flavia, which includes Porticello, said the survivors would be cared for at a local hotel. The city had also brought them immediate necessities, like toiletries and clothes.

He said in a telephone interview that he had not spoken to the survivors since “they’re in shock.”

The youngest passenger onboard, a 1-year-old girl named Sophie, was taken to the Di Cristina hospital in Palermo with her mother, Charlotte, who had some scrapes and cuts, said Domenico Cipolla, director of the pediatric emergency room at the hospital.

Sophie’s father was in the hospital’s adult emergency room and had been in contact with his wife and daughter by phone, Dr. Cipolla said. He was not permitted to release the family’s surname. Both mother and child were in good condition apart from “great emotional stress” he added in a telephone interview.

“We’re comforting them more than curing them,” he said.
