Reemerging on the charter scene is HBC, ready to dazzle in the stunning setting of the Côte d'Azur after her recent transformation. Yachting enthusiasts may recognize HBC as she glides gracefully through the water, now enhanced by sleeker lines, a refreshed superstructure, and a new boot stripe that ensures this superyacht captures attention wherever she goes.

Launched in 2009, HBC yacht has had a unique 15-year journey, primarily operating privately and only briefly available for charter in the Red Sea, which has kept her somewhat of a hidden gem. Her generous interior and expansive aft decks create a palatial atmosphere, making her an excellent choice for gathering friends and family or hosting lively celebrations.

Following a refit in 2022, HBC superyacht now features an interior designed by Winch Design. She offers two salon lounges—one on the main deck and another on the bridge deck—and on the sun deck, guests can enjoy a Jacuzzi surrounded by cushioned sun pads and loungers. With accommodation for 12 guests across 11 suites, there's plenty of room to ensure everyone has a luxurious space without competition over the best room.

Captain Bobby Groves leads a skilled crew of 28, dedicated to providing an exceptional charter experience.

A highlight of this impressive 85.65m (281’) superyacht is her chic beach club, located beneath a glass-bottomed pool, which extends over fold-down platforms that create a terrace right by the water's edge.

This represents a distinct form of superyacht chartering, showcasing the essence of HBC.

Throughout the yacht, luxury and exceptional craftsmanship are evident, with Raymond Langton’s neutral interior design establishing a warm and inviting atmosphere. HBC features a unique layout with the capacity to accommodate 31 guests in 15 staterooms—a rare and desirable characteristic in the superyacht market.

Having had only one owner since her launch, motor yacht HBC has been meticulously maintained and has benefited from a comprehensive maintenance program. An extensive refit in 2019 saw her hull extended by 8 meters (25 feet), the addition of two new cabins, a significant pool, a beach club, and a tender garage, among other enhancements.

A glass-enclosed elevator provides easy access to all guest decks and the sun deck. The spacious deck areas present multiple options for lounging, socializing, or simply relaxing.

In addition to a jacuzzi on the sun deck, HBC features a large swimming pool on the main deck and a retractable outdoor cinema screen. The luxurious beach club also includes two fold-out balconies for an open-air living experience.

With a transoceanic range of 6,475nm and an updated zero-speed stabilization system installed in 2019, HBC stands as a well-maintained and contemporary option in the global market. Luxury motor yacht HBC undoubtedly offers guests an outstanding onboard experience, from the sun-drenched top deck to her striking waterside beach club, ensuring unforgettable vacations you'll want to experience time and again.
