Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht TAHI

TAHI is a Heesen motor yacht defined by understated sophistication and considered design. A comprehensive 2025 refit, overseen by Luc Deflorenne, weaves South American artistry through her interiors and deck spaces, introducing vibrant colour, handcrafted textures, and Brazilian heritage without sacrificing the refined restraint expected of French Riviera yachting. The result feels curated rather than trendy, offering guests a distinct perspective on Mediterranean cruising.

The main saloon anchors the onboard experience with luminous proportions, custom sofas inspired by Jorge Zalszupin, and artworks by a French-Brazilian portraitist. A newly designed bridge-deck bar draws character from Amazonian design traditions, whilst the dining room references the landscapes of Bahia through atmospheric fabric panels and sculptural lighting. Below, the master suite provides a tactile retreat with layered Safran fabrics, decorative weaves, and a bathtub designed for unhurried moments.

On deck, the sundeck offers relaxed social space with a jacuzzi and unobstructed views toward Cannes and the Riviera coastline. The aft deck transforms into an intimate dining venue for evenings overlooking Port Grimaud, whilst forward sunbathing areas suit quiet mornings. Throughout, the yacht balances playful design expression with the tranquillity expected of a private escape.

Captain Pierre Makdessi, a certified master mariner with over 20 years of international experience, commands TAHI with both navigational precision and thoughtful itinerary planning. His team includes a chef who composes menus rooted in Mediterranean tradition and guest preference, supported by dedicated stewardesses, engineers, and deckhands who maintain intuitive, discreet service. Charters typically depart from Sardinia, with itineraries extending across Corsica, the French Riviera, and Sicily, allowing guests to explore secluded anchorages, Michelin-starred restaurants, and iconic coastal towns at an unhurried pace.
