A Day Aboard Sea U
The Riva 72: Comfort and Style
With a stylish 2021 refit, three well-appointed cabins for up to six guests and a professional two-person crew, the Riva 72 offers an intimate atmosphere that suits couples, families or close friends. What sets Sea U apart from most yachts in her category is the flexibility she offers: instead of requiring a full week, she is available for shorter charters, making her a rare opportunity for guests who want a premium yachting experience even with limited time. This balance of quality, comfort and accessibility defines the tone of a day aboard Sea U.
Morning Departure: Soft Light & Breakfast
The day typically begins as the first light moves across the marina and the yacht’s retractable sunroof opens to fill the salon with natural brightness. The crew prepares a simple, relaxed breakfast before departure, and the yacht eases away from the dock with smooth confidence. As the engines settle into a steady cruise, guests can enjoy the shaded seating areas or the comfort of the air-conditioned interior, all while taking in the unfolding views along the coastline. The atmosphere is calm, unhurried and tailored to provide an easy transition into the day ahead.
Midday: Swimming, Toys & Alfresco Lunch
By mid-morning, Sea U anchors in a sheltered cove or a quiet bay, where clear water opens up the first opportunity for swimming and water activities. Guests can explore on paddleboards, try the Seabob, enjoy the tender for coastal rides or simply swim from the platform. The yacht’s compact size makes the experience feel personal and relaxed, with the crew close by to assist when needed without being intrusive. When lunchtime approaches, the shaded deck becomes the ideal spot for an alfresco meal prepared on board, often highlighting local flavors and fresh ingredients served in a straightforward and welcoming style.
Afternoon: Cruising & Island Exploration
The afternoon continues with a smooth cruise toward a nearby island or harbour, offering a mix of leisure and exploration depending on the guests’ preferences. Some may choose to stay on deck for sun and sea views, while others retreat to the salon for a break from the heat. The yacht’s layout makes it easy to move between indoor comfort and outdoor enjoyment, ensuring the pace of the day feels natural and unforced. Whether the itinerary includes a second swim stop, a walk ashore or simply more time cruising, the experience is shaped around what the guests want from their day.
Evening: Cocktails, Dinner & Quiet Anchorage
As evening approaches, Sea U finds a peaceful anchorage for dinner. The crew sets up a relaxed outdoor dining arrangement, often beginning with freshly mixed cocktails followed by a simple, well-prepared Mediterranean meal. The environment shifts gently as the light fades, with the focus on good food, comfortable company and the softened atmosphere of the sea at dusk. When the day winds down, the yacht rests quietly at anchor and the calm motion of the water creates a sense of complete ease. Below deck, the three cabins - master, VIP and twin - offer privacy and comfort, providing a restful end to a full but effortless day on board.
A day aboard Sea U shows how much this compact luxury yacht can offer: strong performance, inviting deck spaces, attentive service and the freedom of short-duration charters. For guests with limited time or those who prefer a more flexible approach to yachting, she delivers a high-quality experience without the commitment of a full week, all while maintaining the style and comfort expected of a Riva. Whether used for a short getaway or as part of a longer island-hopping journey, Sea U leaves an impression of ease, quality and understated luxury.
