Encore Yacht for Charter | 29.5m Horizon Yacht for Charter

Live Your Best Life

Step aboard Encore and check into your favourite floating beach house. Built by Horizon and refit in 2021, this 29.5 metre motor yacht for charter is made for Australian coastal cruising, from sand-fringed bays to remote azure anchorages. A bright, easy saloon, flybridge jacuzzi, big aft deck and generous swim platform set the tone. Four cabins sleep eight guests in comfort, with a full beam master, forward VIP and two convertible twins. With a seasoned local captain and a charter friendly layout, Encore is all about relaxed days, long lunches and unhurried time on the water.

Easy Days

Mornings on Encore begin quietly. Coffee on the aft deck as the bay wakes up, kids spotting turtles off the swim platform, and the first dip of the day from the ladder. Inside, the saloon stays bright and breezy, with big windows and a clear flow between lounge and dining. It is an easy place to linger before the toys come out.

Afternoons on the flybridge

By midday, everyone drifts upstairs. The flybridge becomes the social hub, with the jacuzzi bubbling, sunpads claimed and a shaded dining table ready for long, unrushed lunches. Let the mixologist craft your favourite drink from the bar. The breeze keeps things cool as you cruise to the next anchorage. It is the spot for books, playlists and that “we are really away from it all” feeling, with 360 degree views of sea and sky.

Sunset dinners and quiet nights

Evenings settle back on the aft deck, where there is plenty of room for dinner under the stars. After a last swim or paddle, guests move inside for films or cards in the saloon, while the crew reset the decks for the next day. Encore’s layout means there is always a quiet corner to slip away to, even at maximum guest capacity.

Flexible Accommodation for Eight

Encore sleeps eight guests in four well considered cabins, each with its own bathroom. The full beam master suite sits amidships with a queen bed and generous storage. Forward, a VIP cabin also offers a queen bed and plenty of light. Two convertible twin cabins complete the layout, switching easily between twin and double setups for family or friends.

Expert Hands, Relaxed Atmosphere

On Encore, the crew of four keep things quietly dialled in. Captain Charlie Howell brings more than three decades of experience across Australia and South East Asia, combining strong seamanship with the eye of an engineer. He and his team handle the details, from picking the best reef for the day’s conditions to setting up a beach barbecue without fuss. Service is relaxed but precise, the kind where you never have to ask twice and often do not need to ask at all.

Life at the Water’s Edge

Encore’s wide swim platform is your launch pad for everything wet. Days fall into a happy rhythm of snorkelling over reef, taking the jet ski for a spin, or learning a new trick on the flight board. The crew are used to mixed groups, helping confident riders push a little further while keeping things safe and fun for younger guests. When you want to dial it back, kayaks and stand up paddle boards make it easy to explore bays at your own pace.
