Bliss 37 meter luxury sailing yacht for charter

Bliss – 36.70 meter Yachting Developments sailing yacht for exhilarating charter adventures

Bliss is a striking 36.70-meter sailing yacht built in 2009 by renowned New Zealand shipyard Yachting Developments and extensively updated in 2024. Maintained in mint condition for her charter guests, she represents an exciting combination of genuine high-performance sailing, contemporary comfort and remarkable versatility.

One of the few sporty composite sailing yachts of her kind available for charter, Bliss is equally accomplished cruising peacefully between anchorages or putting her performance credentials to the test on the regatta circuit. Her sleek lines conceal a sophisticated interior by Design Unlimited, while her flexible accommodation, freshwater spa pool and impressive selection of water toys make her particularly appealing for active families and guests who want to experience the true pleasure of sailing.

Ideally accommodating six guests in three cabins, with additional flexibility for families with children, Bliss is supported by an energetic and enthusiastic crew of five who bring warmth, experience and a genuine passion for life on the water to every charter.

Exceptionally flexible guest accommodation

Bliss has been thoughtfully designed around a wonderfully adaptable accommodation layout. She is ideally suited to six guests in three spacious cabins, although her clever configuration provides the possibility of accommodating up to ten guests when travelling with children.

The full-beam master suite is an impressive private retreat and can be transformed depending on the needs of the charter party. In its standard configuration, it provides a generous master cabin with separate his-and-hers en-suite bathrooms. A partition can be introduced to divide the space into a smaller master suite and an additional twin bunk cabin. The two bathrooms then become independent en-suites for each cabin, making this arrangement particularly practical for families.

Two additional guest cabins are normally configured as doubles but can both be converted into twins. Each also incorporates a Pullman berth, adding yet another degree of flexibility for different family arrangements.

This adaptable layout is one of Bliss’s greatest strengths, allowing the yacht to feel equally comfortable for three couples, families with children or mixed groups travelling together.

Contemporary interiors by Design Unlimited

Bliss offers a modern and beautifully considered interior created by Design Unlimited. The atmosphere is sophisticated without feeling formal, providing comfortable spaces where guests can unwind after an exhilarating day under sail.

The main lounge offers generous seating and dining space, creating a natural gathering point for meals, conversation and relaxed evenings. Its contemporary styling complements the yacht’s sporty character while maintaining the level of refinement expected aboard a luxury sailing yacht.

A comprehensive entertainment system is integrated discreetly throughout the guest areas, providing access to movies and music both in the cabins and main lounge. Starlink connectivity makes it easy to stay connected when necessary without distracting from the sense of escape that defines life aboard Bliss.

High-performance sailing with proven credentials

The real heart of Bliss is revealed when the sails go up. Designed as a true performance yacht, she delivers exciting, responsive sailing while maintaining the comfort required for relaxed luxury cruising.

Her lightweight composite construction and sporting pedigree make her equally at home during competitive regattas and on extended blue-water adventures. With a proven record that includes a world circumnavigation, Bliss has demonstrated the capability and seaworthiness required to explore far beyond conventional cruising grounds.

For experienced sailors, she offers the opportunity to become immersed in an authentic performance sailing experience. For those less familiar with sailing, watching this sophisticated yacht come alive under sail is an experience in itself, guided throughout by her knowledgeable and enthusiastic crew.

Relaxed outdoor living and an on-deck spa pool

Bliss balances her sporting personality with inviting exterior spaces designed for long, leisurely days on deck.

The cockpit provides a spacious lounge and dining area where guests can gather comfortably for meals and drinks in the shade. Generous aft sun pads offer a wonderful place to stretch out beneath the sun, while the foredeck holds one of the yacht’s most appealing features: a freshwater spa pool.

Whether cooling off after a morning under sail, enjoying a quiet afternoon at anchor or relaxing with a drink as the sun begins to set, the spa pool adds a particularly indulgent dimension to life aboard.

Her aft swim platform places guests directly at sea level and creates an effortless transition from yacht to water, making swimming and watersports a natural part of every day.

Endless possibilities on the water

Bliss carries an impressive selection of water toys designed to keep guests entertained throughout their charter.

A powerful 5-meter Williams jet tender provides comfortable transfers and serves as an excellent platform for watersports. Two inflatable stand-up paddleboards and both single and double seated kayaks are ideal for exploring tranquil bays at a slower pace, while adult and children’s waterskis, a wakeboard and kneeboard offer more energetic alternatives.

Inflatable towables add another dose of fun for families, while snorkelling equipment makes it easy to discover what lies beneath the surface. Sport fishing gear is also available for guests looking to try their luck away from the yacht.

For diving enthusiasts, Bliss carries seven sets of diving equipment together with a compressor for rendezvous diving, making her particularly attractive for charters centred around underwater exploration.

Wellness between adventures

Guests wishing to maintain a simple wellness routine while away will find yoga mats and resistance bands available on board.

Combined with the yacht’s generous outdoor spaces, swimming platform and active sailing programme, they provide plenty of opportunities to incorporate exercise naturally into the day, whether through morning stretching on deck, swimming, paddleboarding or a more structured workout.

An authentic sailing charter with a sense of adventure

Bliss is an exceptional choice for guests who want much more than simply a beautiful yacht. Her combination of exhilarating sailing performance, proven ocean-going capabilities, flexible family-friendly accommodation and excellent water access creates a charter experience with genuine personality.

Whether joining the action under sail, relaxing in the freshwater spa pool, sharing dinner in the cockpit or spending an afternoon exploring the water, guests can move effortlessly between adventure and relaxation. With an enthusiastic crew of five taking care of every detail, Bliss offers a refined yet refreshingly active approach to luxury sailing – a yacht designed for guests who want to truly experience life at sea.
