Elegance and sophistication are the most suitable bywords for her classy, understated interiors, overseen by Reymond Langton Design, with tactile suede, silk and leather finishes used to great effect.
Sleeping 10 guests across five staterooms, and operated by a 10 strong crew, My Little Violet has remained an enduring favourite for charter since her inception in 2006. She is often hired for quayside events and parties thanks to her versatile interior layout, large volumes and extensive exterior deck areas, which are perfect for in-port entertaining.
A cruising speed of 12 knots makes her an efficient and enjoyable choice for gentle cruising, island exploration and exuberant watersports fun in the calm seas of the Adriatic and western Mediterranean.
The Captain
Captain Igor Cupic began his yachting career 22 years ago and his 12 years as a captain have seen him in charge of iconic superyachts like Lady Maura, Shenadoah and Faribana.
He takes personal charge of organising exciting deep sea fishing trips for the many family groups who charter the yacht, and along with his highly professional crew, Captain Igor takes great pride in ensuring that every member of the party experiences the most memorable and adventure packed vacation possible.
The Experience
My Little Violet’s warm and cosy interiors are dominated by a neutral palate and dark wood panelling, with huge windows, cream sofas, light carpets and well-chosen colourful accents and bespoke sculptures adding a splash of interest.
The main salon features an extra lounging area and the internal quarters are flooded with light and offer a deceptive amount of space for a yacht this size.
Five en suite staterooms comprise a master, three further doubles and a twin, with the full beam master cabin on the main deck boasting floor to ceiling windows and a marble bathroom. An al fresco dining area joins the main salon to create a twice as large relaxation zone, perfect for soirees and large group entertaining.
Exterior decks have been furnished in a contemporary fashion with circular daybeds, extensive banquette seating and pergola style draped daybeds creating a cool and stylish vibe whether you want to read, chat, take a siesta or admire the spectacular passing views.
A fully stocked watersports department offers a 12m Sacs towed tender, two Yamaha Waverunners, water skis, inflatables, snorkelling and fishing gear and a highly spec dive school featuring compressor, regulators, Uwatec dive computers and a DPV scooter.
The Cuisine
A highly-trained chef with over 12 years' experience working in fine dining and Michelin-starred restaurants, Chef Nicolo Businaro is renowned for his reliability, creativity and extreme professionalism.
A highly creative and innovative player, his time spent in superyachting has allowed charter guests to experience some of the incredible gastronomy he has pioneered at world renowned parties.
Nicolo's cuisine can be described as modern Mediterranean, bit he also has a brilliant talent for Asian flavours. A keen traveller, when not working you'll often find him scouring the world and learning about other cultures which strongly influence his work.
Dinners can start with squash velouté with egg and truffle dressing, foie gras with cranberry and keto crackers or morel mushrooms on a bed of wild mushrooms and asparagus tips, followed by roasted guinea fowl with gnocchi and herb cream, roasted cod and red pepper stuffed with brandade and tomato or eggplant risotto with smoked scamorza. Desserts range from apple pie with vanilla ice cream to tiramisu, pineapple cheesecake and raspberry soufflé
