There's something deeply compelling about a yacht with genuine racing pedigree — the purposeful lines, the careful balance of speed and comfort, the knowledge that she's designed to dance with the wind rather than merely endure it. LILLA, our latest addition to the Mediterranean luxury yacht charter fleet, carries all of these qualities in her elegant 76-foot frame.
Racing Heritage Meets Refined Comfort
Built by CNB Yachts and designed by naval architect Philippe Briand, LILLA isn't just another sailing yacht — she's a proven performer with the Newport Bermuda Race trophy to her name. Her distinctive claret-colored hull cuts through Mediterranean waters with an authority that only comes from serious racing DNA.
Having just emerged from an extensive 2025 refit, she's presented in pristine condition throughout. We've always believed that the finest private yacht charter experiences come from vessels that maintain racing standards while offering genuine luxury, and LILLA delivers precisely that balance.
Mediterranean Yacht Charter Performance
LILLA truly shines in 20-25 knot conditions — those perfect Mediterranean sailing days when the wind builds and the coastline beckons. Her deep draft and Code Zero sail configuration make her remarkably versatile, equally at home threading between Croatian islands as she is reaching across the Gulf of Lyon toward the French Riviera.
The expansive aft cockpit serves as the yacht's social hub, comfortably hosting ten guests for those memorable sunset dinners that define the best Italy yacht charter experiences. The swim platform provides seamless water access — essential when you're anchored in the crystalline bays of the Amalfi Coast or exploring hidden coves along the Croatian coast.
Thoughtful Interior Design
Below deck, LILLA's interior strikes that rare balance between yacht sophistication and genuine warmth. The main saloon's beautiful wood paneling and generous natural light create an inviting atmosphere that never feels precious or untouchable. We particularly appreciate the intelligent separation of formal dining and lounge areas — it allows for both intimate conversations and larger group gatherings within the same harmonious space.
The newly refitted galley supports serious onboard dining, while full air conditioning and WiFi throughout ensure modern comfort standards are maintained. Six guests find accommodation across three well-appointed double cabins, each with private ensuite facilities.
Western Mediterranean Excellence
Whether you're planning a France yacht charter along the Côte d'Azur, an exploration of Italy's dramatic coastline, or island-hopping through Croatia's pristine archipelago, LILLA offers the rare combination of authentic sailing performance and refined luxury charter holiday comfort.
Her offshore capability opens up longer passages — think Corsica to Sardinia, or the classic route from the French Riviera to the Italian Cinque Terre. Yet she's equally suited to gentle coastal cruising, always maintaining that connection to wind and sea that makes sailing yacht charters so uniquely rewarding.
LILLA represents everything we value in our charter fleet — proven pedigree, exceptional maintenance standards, and that indefinable quality that transforms a luxury yacht charter into something genuinely memorable. She's available now for Mediterranean charters, ready to prove that racing breeding and charter comfort make perfect sailing companions.
