A Day Aboard M/Y Brooklyn
With generous deck areas, practical interior spaces and a professional crew, she is designed to support relaxed daily cruising, swimming stops and time spent together on board. Brooklyn is well suited to families or groups of friends looking for a reliable and enjoyable yacht with attentive service and a straightforward onboard flow.
Morning: Departure and Daily Setup
The day begins with breakfast served either in the salon or on deck, depending on weather and guest preference. The captain manages departure and route planning, ensuring a smooth and timely start to the day. The deckhand prepares the exterior areas for cruising and checks that swim access and deck spaces are ready for later use. The hostess takes care of breakfast service and guest comfort, setting up seating areas and maintaining the interior as the yacht gets underway. Once cruising, guests settle comfortably indoors or outside while Brooklyn moves steadily along the coastline.
Midday: Swimming and Water Toys
By late morning, Brooklyn anchors in a sheltered bay chosen for calm conditions and easy access to the water. Guests can swim directly from the yacht or enjoy the selection of water toys available on board, as listed on the Istion website, which include equipment such as a tender, stand-up paddleboards and snorkelling gear. The deckhand assists with setting up and supervising water activities, helping guests in and out of the water and ensuring equipment is used safely. Those remaining on board can relax on deck while enjoying the views. During this time, the chef prepares lunch, which is served alfresco by the hostess, keeping service smooth and informal.
Afternoon: Cruising and Flexible Planning
After lunch, Brooklyn continues toward the next destination, whether that means another swim stop, a coastal cruise or an approach to a nearby harbour. The captain manages timing and navigation, adapting the plan to guest preferences and sea conditions. The deckhand prepares the yacht for cruising or arrival, while the hostess refreshes interior and exterior spaces. Guests move easily between shaded deck areas and the salon, choosing how active or relaxed they wish the afternoon to be.
Accommodation: Comfort and Space On Board
Below deck, Brooklyn offers comfortable accommodation arranged to suit groups and families. The cabins are well maintained and designed with practical storage, ensuite facilities and a calm atmosphere for rest. During the day, cabins provide a quiet retreat from the sun, and in the evening they offer privacy and comfort after a full day on the water. The layout supports both shared time in the common areas and personal space when needed, making it suitable for longer charters.
Evening: Dinner and Night at Anchor
As evening approaches, Brooklyn anchors in a calm location selected for overnight comfort. The deckhand secures the yacht and prepares the deck for evening use. Guests are offered drinks before dinner while the chef completes the evening meal. Dinner is served on board in a relaxed setting, with the hostess managing service and ensuring the pace remains comfortable. After dinner, the yacht settles into a quiet routine, allowing guests to unwind before retiring to their cabins for the night.
