About Black Lion
Elegant, high-performing, and thoughtfully updated, sailing yacht BLACK LION offers a charter experience that masterfully balances sophistication with spirited adventure. Following an extensive 2025 refit, including a brand-new teak deck, a sleek LORIMA carbon composite mast, and fresh exterior paintwork, BLACK LION is in peak condition to welcome guests aboard for an unforgettable sailing escape. With a reputation for smooth, responsive performance in all wind conditions, she is the ideal choice for island hopping or exploring coastal cruising grounds in style.
Her contemporary interior, designed by renowned Milan-based studio Nauta Yachts, blends natural textures and light wood finishes to create an atmosphere of understated luxury and calm. A standout feature is her double-level salon: the raised main salon is bathed in natural light and offers panoramic views of the surrounding seascape, along with formal dining for eight and a chic lounge area. Below, the lower salon provides additional space for relaxation and informal gatherings, creating a sense of openness and flow throughout.
Accommodating up to nine guests across four versatile cabins, BLACK LION is perfectly suited to both families and mixed adult groups. Her layout includes a full-beam master suite with a queen bed, a forward twin with en suite, a starboard twin with a Pullman, and a port-side twin with its own en suite. All cabins feature high-quality linens, generous storage, and well-appointed AV systems, ensuring restful nights and all the comforts of home at sea.
Outdoors, BLACK LION invites guests to savor the joy of sailing and the pleasures of alfresco living. The spacious cockpit offers wraparound views and a dedicated dining area, while a generous sunbathing space ensures relaxation under the open sky. A standout feature is her foldable transom, which transforms into a beach club with a swim ladder for easy access to the water.
With a low fuel consumption profile, BLACK LION is also an eco-conscious choice for guests seeking a greener way to travel. A seasoned crew of four, well-versed in working together for many years, delivers highly personalized service and seamless sailing, allowing guests to relax and fully immerse themselves in the experience.
