At 262 Feet (80 Meters), The Abeking & Rasmussen built Excellence which stands out in a crowd of even the most impressive charter yachts. With a modern exterior conceived by Andrew Winch, Excellence is sleek and imposing. Having just enjoyed an inaugural cruising season in the Caribbean, Excellence has now been made available by Burgess Yachts for summer charter bookings in the Mediterranean for the first time ever.
At just over 2,100 gross tons, Excellence offers charter accommodations for up to 12 guests in 7 luxurious staterooms and abundant amenities to rival the finest charters in her class. One such amenity is the yacht’s ample natural lighting delivered via Excellence’s triple height glass atrium. Standing as just one example of Winch’s innovative design language, the glass atrium is one of the vessel’s most distinctive features. Excellence’s exceptional design and thoughtful details are the result of an experienced owner, whose knowledge was refined through the ownership of nearly half a dozen yacht’s prior to the conception of Excellence. Aboard small details are understated, yet completely refined.
Some of our favorite aspects of Excellence are the interior colors and textures, which allow guests to enjoy sophisticated spaces that remain focused on bringing in panoramic views. Spacious rooms stay soft and cosy thanks to warm design materials, such as a unique pallette of exotique woods. Birds eye maple, blue ombre, burr, limed oak, and sycamore pair stunningly well with other elegant finishes crafted from marble and fine leather. Winch’s signature use of mild tones combined with strokes of color here and there bring Excellence’s interior to life.
Upper deck lounge
The vessel’s main deck is made up of entertaining spaces, guest accommodation and a suite of unique amenities. A lounge and dining area open up to an ample exterior space with a large pool and swim up bar. Six guest staterooms on this level are comfortable in size and offer views through massive windows. For a perfect start to your day the main deck features a gym and spa, as well as a tiered cinema where many guests may choose to end their day. From the main deck’s large foyer, a staircase and glass elevator can be accessed to transverse the yacht’s many decks.

Located above the upper deck is a massive sun deck with an elegant sitting area and dedicated sunbathing spaces accompanied by a large Jacuzzi. From here a short trip can be taken to the lower deck where guests can enjoy a swim in the sea thanks to Excellence’s fantastic beach club, which features a sea terrace with bathing steps for easy access to the water. Aside from a wide selection of water toys, the yacht also benefits from two exquisite limo tenders made by Hodgdon.
As of the publishing of this article, Excellence is available for summer charter from €1,040,000 per week.
