With timeless lines, a striking midnight blue hull and an ice-white superstructure that never goes out of fashion, the spectacular 281' (85.6m) B2 is an inspired choice for seamless charter cruising. Built by the celebrated German shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen in 2009 and designed by the renowned Reymond Langton Design, B2 remains one of the most attractive superyachts available today with an extensive 2019 refit and further upgrades in 2022, ensuring she is in peak condition for summers in the Mediterranean and winters in the tropical Indian Ocean and South East Asia. Her unique interior layout allows B2 to accommodate up to 22 guests in 11 staterooms, making her ideal for special celebrations, family vacations or for smaller charter parties wishing to revel in the endless space.

Luxury and superior craftsmanship are evident throughout B2’s all-new Winch Design interiors, which replaced the original interiors by Reymond Langton Design in 2022. The cheerful maritime palette of crisp white with pops of sea green, grey and navy blue reflect the crystal waters and white sands of her cruising grounds creating a relaxed beach house ambiance. The emphasis throughout is on maximizing B2’s tremendous volumes without sacrificing true home-from-home comforts, even with a full boat.

The light-filled and luxurious main deck salon is an ideal meeting point for morning coffee while planning the day ahead or simply escaping with a good book to curl up on one of the sumptuous sofas or day beds while taking in the views from the enormous windows. Formal dinners can be served in the stunning upper deck dining room, which can be opened to the aft deck for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining or simply to dine with a view. After dinner, the bridge deck sky lounge is a great place to enjoy a nightcap or to take in a movie on the wide-screen TV. During the day, the lounge doubles as a cozy study with a desk tucked into the corner for when work beckons.

While her salons are beautiful, B2’s enormous beach club is surely her most impressive feature. The space features fold-out balconies on either side, bringing guests as close to the water as possible and offering the ultimate in open-air living with room to lounge and dine as a group. The light shines through the glass bottom of the main deck swimming pool above, bathing the space in rippled sunshine to mesmerizing effect.

Outside, the decks are just as thoughtfully designed. For alfresco dining and casual lunches, the bridge deck is the place of choice, while the sun deck above offers a large Jacuzzi flanked by loungers and sunpads and a sit-up bar for optimal relaxation and bronzing as well as incredible views of the destinations ahead. After dark, head to the main deck for a cinema experience under the stars while relaxing in the comfortable lounge area, drinks in hand. A glass-encased elevator links all floors, making it easy to move between decks and ensuring seamless access

Swim in the large pool placed laterally across the main deck aft—another stand-out feature, enjoy a workout in the gym followed by a massage in the dedicated treatment room or make the most of B2’s arsenal of toys. There are kayaks, paddleboards, SeaDoo Jet Skis, SeaBobs, and scuba diving equipment, among other attractions, to keep guests entertained on or under the water. Three tenders are perfect for exploring the tucked-away beaches or deserted islands of B2’s cruising grounds or for quick trips to the shore.

At the end of an action-filled day, B2 accommodates her 22 guests in 11 opulent staterooms. The owner’s suite takes pride in place on the upper deck affording 180-degree views without stepping foot from the king-size bed. There’s a lovely lounge area as well as his and her bathrooms, complete with an indulgent bathtub. There are two adjacent children’s cabins, accessed by a private corridor, and direct access to the foredeck lounge. The remaining 10 staterooms can be found on the decks below, including a main deck VIP cabin. All benefit from dedicated en-suite facilities and share the same bright décor found in B2’s gorgeous common areas.

An enthusiastic and professional crew of 26 ensures the intuitive service and attention to detail that makes a charter on B2 exceptional in every way.
