Yacht Description
Fast, by design. VELES is a 68-foot Pershing 70 built in 2016 and refit in 2022, set up for guests who value time underway as much as time at anchor. She cruises at 41 knots and can reach 48 knots.
Outdoor life first. Foredeck and aft sunpads give everyone a landing spot, and the flexible aft-deck dining setup works for long lunches that turn into longer afternoons. Quick hop in, quick dry off: the swim platform sits right at the water’s edge. Simple.
Easy inside-out flow. The main salon opens straight onto the aft deck, so you do not get split into “inside people” and “outside people.” Air conditioning and Wi-Fi are on hand when you want to cool down or stay connected.
Six guests, three cabins. VELES sleeps 6 in three en-suite cabins: a master, one double, and one twin. It’s a clean setup for a couple of couples, or a small family group that does not want bed Tetris.
Toys that get used. You have a 3.25m Williams Jet Tender for beach runs, plus an F5S Seabob, a sea-scooter, two stand-up paddleboards, a towable doughnut, and snorkeling gear for low-effort water time.
