Yacht Description
Modern Oyster, upgraded. CHAMPAGNE HIPPY is an Oyster sailing yacht built in 2014 and refit in 2023, set up for guests who actually want to sail and still sleep well afterwards.
Easy water time. The transom drops into a proper swim platform, so getting in and out of the sea is simple. Quick rinse, back to the sun pads.
Toys without clutter. You have an AB 430 XP jet tender for slick shore runs, plus paddleboards, a sailing dinghy, towables, and adult and child waterskis. Active days, handled.
Eight guests, four cabins. Sleeps up to 8 in four en-suite cabins, including an aft master with a king bed, two doubles, and a twin. No one is sharing bathrooms. Good start.
Comfort switches on. Air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and TVs in the cabins cover the downtime hours, with indoor and outdoor audio when you want a bit of soundtrack.

Charter Reviews
We could have sunk into the sordid drunkenness of a novice sailor...
But...
Josh, our courageous captain, sailed us between splendid islands
GI, our attentive chef, has taken us on a voyage through ever-changing culinary landscapes
Julia, our daily sunshine, made us float in the soft comfort normally found only in the Caribbean...
In short, it was an unforgettable week.
Thanks to all 3 of you and to the Norwegians
Sailing with you in such magic landscapes has just been awesome!
Your kindness, sense of service and exquisite cuisine made the trip unforgettable- I heard the Olympics in Paris were spectacular but I can't believe anybody had a better experience than our family in Norway.
We have been treated like princes and princesses from A to Z. Harry is crying in his room which means that a lot of emotions are there, it is hard to leave this amazing boat and fantastic team.
Each single day surprised us, always something new to discover, something to learn. I’ve had great sailing, many thanks to Josh for this for your kindness and always being calm and patient with our hyperactive boys.
Thanks for the fishing festival, from big tunas to the ‘potential’ great white who cut the line!!
It was 9 days of pure paradise, cruising with you peacefully through these beautiful islands.
Amazing breakfast, royal pancakes, Japanese nights, Milkshakes and “Pincheling” contests will be in our heads for a long time … until we come back?!
Our family has been blessed; we are flying back with stars in our heads.
Enjoy your (super) quick rest, and we wish you the best to come.
