LLM Exclusive April / CONTIGO: A Quiet Evolution in Mediterranean Charter / By LLM Reporters

Each Mediterranean summer brings a familiar rhythm: a procession of exceptional yachts moving between the French Riviera, the Amalfi Coast and the Greek islands.

Yet, even within this rarefied landscape, certain arrivals signal a more subtle shift. For the 2026 season, CONTIGO is one such yacht.

Delivered in 2024 by the Italian shipyard Sanlorenzo, the 49.99-metre motor yacht represents a considered move towards a more architectural, lifestyle-led approach to design — one that privileges space, light and a closer relationship with the sea.

Now available for charter exclusively through Cecil Wright, she is already attracting quiet attention.

A defining aspect of CONTIGO’s appeal lies just beyond her decks. The Wajer 55HT chase boat — fast, composed and elegantly engineered — extends the experience in a way that feels both natural and deliberate.

It reframes movement itself: arrivals become moments, and distances dissolve. Whether approaching a Riviera beach club, heading ashore along the Amalfi Coast or easing into a secluded anchorage in the Greek islands, it offers a level of access and spontaneity that reshapes the rhythm of each day.

For those inclined towards a more fluid itinerary, it allows for unplanned detours, private sunset passages and a more immediate connection to the coastline.

Onboard, CONTIGO distinguishes herself through a design philosophy that is both progressive and quietly resolved.

Central to this is her “floating penthouse” configuration. By relocating the owner’s suite to the upper deck — a departure from conventional layouts — the design releases the lower deck from technical constraints. In doing so, it creates a space that is exceptional not only in scale, but in atmosphere.

The beach club and ocean lounge span the full beam at sea level, forming a space that feels unusually open to its surroundings. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and fold-out terraces frame uninterrupted, 180-degree views, while natural light moves freely throughout.

The effect is less that of an interior, and more akin to a pavilion set directly on the water. The experience it offers is intuitive and unforced.

In the early hours, it is a place of stillness — for swimming or simply sitting close to the water. As the day progresses, it becomes a natural gathering point, with direct access to the sea and the yacht’s collection of water toys. By evening, it settles into something more atmospheric: a quiet, enveloping space where the horizon remains in constant view.

Interiors by Studio Lissoni continue this sense of restraint. Their approach is minimal without feeling stark, favouring soft textures, natural materials and a muted palette that allows the setting to take precedence. Light is carefully drawn into each space, and proportions are handled with a precision that lends a sense of ease throughout.

CONTIGO accommodates up to ten guests across five cabins.

The upper deck master suite, set apart from the main living areas, offers a high degree of privacy, complemented by a study and dressing room. Guest cabins are arranged with flexibility in mind, supporting both family use and more mixed groups with equal ease. A crew of eleven ensures service remains seamless and discreet.

Elsewhere, the yacht is defined by balance. Social areas — including open deck lounges and a jacuzzi with expansive views — are offset by quieter, more private corners. The layout encourages movement without prescribing it, allowing guests to shape each day according to mood.

Time onboard can be as active or as unhurried as desired: a morning workout in the gym, time in the spa and sauna, or an afternoon spent entirely on deck. The variety of spaces ensures a sense of choice, particularly valuable for larger groups.

Adventure remains present, though never overstated. Alongside the Wajer, CONTIGO carries a well-considered selection of water toys, including Jet Skis, SEABOBs, wakeboards, canoes, bicycles and snorkelling equipment — all easily accessed from the beach club.

Her technical credentials are equally assured. A steel hull and aluminium superstructure provide stability and volume, while refined engineering and energy management systems reduce noise and improve efficiency.

She cruises comfortably at 12.5 knots, with a range of approximately 4,000 nautical miles, making her well suited to extended time in the Mediterranean.

With charter bookings now open for summer 2026 through Cecil Wright, CONTIGO is set to become one of the season’s most quietly compelling offerings.

In a region shaped by extraordinary yachts, it is often the most considered that leave the strongest impression — those that bring you closer to the water and allow each journey to unfold with ease.

CONTIGO is available to charter from €325,000 per week. For enquiries, contact: cecilwright.com
