4 Reasons to Charter the Yacht Nero: Sunday Superyacht Video

Modern megayachts fill the pages of magazines and websites discussing charter options. There’s a special type of person, though, whose heartstrings tug at the sight of a classic yacht. Even more so, a special group of people are head over heels in love with the looks of classics yet want the comforts of a far more modern yacht. If that describes you, then the yacht Nero is undoubtedly a suitable superyacht for your next charter yacht vacation. Here’s more on why.

Classic and Contemporary Class

Although she looks like she’s nearly 100 years old, the yacht Nero is actually from 2007, well maintained since then. Her original British owner loved the looks of the famed 1930s-era yachts bearing the name Corsair, belonging to equally famous American financier J.P. Morgan. He was so enamored that he decided to build this 296-footer (90-meter) as a faithful replica, with every modern convenience.

Bright Beauty

While restored and replica yachts alike tend to have dark, gentleman’s club atmospheres, the yacht Nero is the opposite. In fact, an extensive refit in 2021 gave her a breath of lighter air, soft-hued lime-washed oak. It was a dramatic change—for the better, you may argue once you step aboard. It makes rooms like the saloon, upper-deck bar, and cinema/observation lounge warmly welcoming from day to night. Suitably ocean-like blues and greens are throughout the yacht Nero, of course. You could spend a rainy afternoon taking closer looks at the myriad paintings, ship models, and busts (like that of Lord Nelson), too. The captain can walk you through some of the details as well, being quite knowledgeable about them all.

Toys, Toys, and More Toys

Finally, no yacht charter vacation is complete without watertoys. Thankfully, Nero has an abundance of them. She has a handful of SeaBobs, for instance, along with kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, a Flyboard, a wakeboard, and towables. Additionally, an inflatable slide sends you gleefully gliding from the upper deck straight into the water.

Pampered Perfection

Vacationers seeking to indulge in further R&R no doubt will love the beauty salon/massage room on the upper deck. Interestingly, this used to be the gym—which now occupies the uppermost area on deck, the snug. A masseuse and beautician on the crew can melt your stress away, whether your muscles are tight or you want a pedicure to show off in your Instagram poses.

Nero’s weekly charter rate starts at $497,000.
