About Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht PRINCESS ILUKA
Princess Iluka is a Ray Kemp motor yacht built in 1979 and comprehensively restored to exacting standards, completing a nine-year restoration in 2009. A 2023 refit ensures she remains the benchmark for crewed charters across Australia's coastline. Her hull, crafted from 750-year-old Huon Pine timber harvested from Tasmanian forests over three decades ago, combines heritage craftsmanship with contemporary comfort. Interiors feature hand-made Australian timberwork throughout the cabins and saloon, creating warmth and understated opulence.
The yacht accommodates 10 guests across 5 cabins, each with ensuite facilities. The master stateroom spans the full beam and features a spa bath, lounge, king bed, and generous sea-view windows. The VIP stateroom, guest double, twin, and children's bunk cabin offer flexible configuration for families and groups seeking intimate, bespoke service.
A five-strong crew led by Captain Mark delivers refined hospitality throughout your charter. The onboard chef prepares à la carte dining from a galley equipped for five-star menus, served in the formal dining room or alfresco on the upper aft deck. Three generous decks including a top sun deck with generous seating provide multiple spaces for relaxation and entertaining.

Mornings may include snorkelling at pristine reefs equipped with stinger suits and reef walkers, afternoon jet-skiing or wakeboarding, and evenings anchored in secluded bays with chef-prepared dining under the stars.
