Eminence
- 78.43m | Abeking & Rasmussen | 2008 (2018)
Now for the first time, the Eminence experience is being opened up to the charter market.
Highlights abound on board Eminence, with her five decks encompassing open living spaces including a 10-seat cinema, spa with sauna and massage room, a gym, and a jacuzzi on the spacious sun deck. With an experienced crew delivering impeccable service 24/7, Eminence is a yacht built for creating unforgettable moments with family and friends.
Eminence accommodates 12 guests across three decks, with all eight staterooms accessible via the central elevator. The upper deck master stateroom is especially impressive, offering 180-degree views as well as a flexible office space easily convertible into a staff or guest cabin.
The Captain
At the helm for over five years, Captain Marcus Gilbert leads Eminence's crew of 24 to deliver exceptional experiences in a homely environment. "Eminence is a place to enjoy spending time with family and friends. She has improved year on year through continued customisation and investment: the result is a very welcoming yacht, with a calm and relaxing personality making you feel at ease as if you were in the comfort of your own home."
The Experience
When it comes to enjoying the best of the yacht life, Eminence is the complete package. In addition to an array of onboard amenities, she is equipped with a treasure trove of tenders and toys. A 9.5 metre Novurania tender ensures travelling from ship to shore is always in style, while a thrilling ride on the inflatable slide is a fun experience for the whole family. Whenever you're ready to hit the water, the crew are standing by to launch the seabobs or jet skis, or to set up an afternoon floating in the pool off the aft deck beach club.
From the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, Eminence's highly knowledgeable crew put their expertise to work, locating small inlets, bays and beaches for exclusive experiences in some of the best yachting destinations in the world.
Eminence is the perfect vessel to share extraordinary experiences with family and friends. Kicking back in the jacuzzi with a freshly made cocktail in hand, out on the water skipping over the waves on jet skis, or indulging in some self-care with a Thai massage from the onboard masseuse, her professional crew are always on hand to ensure every moment is special.
The Cuisine
Working with a talented sous chef, Chef Tom Nichols assures every dining experience on board Eminence is delivered with love. Australian-born with Italian and Greek heritage, Chef Nichols grew up surrounded by Mediterranean flavours in his grandmother's kitchen. After working with some of the best chefs in Sydney and Brisbane, it was the flavours of the East that captured his imagination, inspiring him to specialise in Japanese, Szechuan and Thai cuisine.
"I like to use traditional recipes and keep up with current food trends to create something modern, healthy and authentic," he says. "Anything Asian is my speciality, but I also specialise in rustic home-style dishes which are always made with love. A slow-cooked spring lamb shoulder with tuum dressing is one of my favourites to serve!"
Eminence is a yacht set up to savour every culinary experience. The sun deck is recommended for sunset cocktails, while the main deck aft is perfect for buffet-style breakfasts. Lunches and dinners are best enjoyed on the bridge deck aft or in the sophisticated setting of the main dining room.
