There is a certain confidence to a yacht that can cover ground and still feel unhurried once she arrives. Maxi Beer, a 27 metre Ferretti 881, does both with ease. Originally launched in 2012 and given a thorough refit in 2022, she moves at a genuine pace when the mood takes you, then settles at anchor into something altogether calmer.
She sleeps eight across four cabins, three doubles and a twin, each finished for a restful night after a full day in the sun. Above, the flybridge is the natural gathering point, with a Jacuzzi to sink into as the coastline turns gold. Stabilisers keep everything level whether underway or at rest, which is the difference between a good day on the water and a great one.
For those who like their days active, she is well equipped. A Seabob, wakeboard and water skis, snorkelling gear and towable toys all wait to be launched, with a tender on hand for runs ashore. A crew of four keep the rhythm smooth and the service quietly attentive, present when wanted and out of sight when not.
Based in Cannes, she has the whole coastline within easy reach, the islands for a lazy lunch or Monaco for the evening. Fast when you want speed, steady when you want stillness, Maxi Beer suits guests who like to keep both options open. The tender is ready whenever you are.
