Tail Lights
- 35.36m | Azimut | 2011 (2016)
Built in 2011 and fully refitted in 2016, the stunning 35 metre Tail Lights, built by the Italian shipyard Azimut, is one of the most popular yachts on the charter market, with an enterprising owner.
A private floating resort offering a world-class experience, she is the perfect choice for families and groups of friends looking for the ultimate vacation.
Beautifully decorated throughout, she offers an array of living spaces with a state of the art audio visual system and a high tech media room for movie nights.
With a striking two tone metallic grey hull, Tail Lights is equally stylish outside with ample deck space for outdoor living complete with a full wet bar, a jacuzzi, large sun pads and a superb range of all the latest water toys.
Boasting an impressive range of 4,700 nm and a cruising speed of 25 knots, Tail Lights is the ultimate choice for smooth island hopping in supreme style.
The Captain
Be it a beautiful vow renewal ceremony on a private beach or pirate-themed children’s party in which all the crew get involved, Long Island-born Sean Kampfer is extremely passionate about ensuring all charter guests have one-of-a-kind experiences during their time on board Tail Lights. “We are very involved as a crew, and all go above and beyond whenever we have guests on board,” he says.
Not just a dedicated captain, Sean is also a licensed pilot who loves sailing, golfing and many more active pursuits, making him extremely popular with guests from all walks of life.
The Experience
Tail Lights is a labour of love for her dedicated owners. Sleek, modern and immaculate throughout, she is tastefully decorated in neutral tones of taupe and cream with rich wood panelling and an abundance of natural light.
Sleeping up to 12 guests in five stylish staterooms, the star of the show is undoubtedly the owner’s private suite, separate from all other cabins and accessed by a private staircase.
Meal times are also a treat on Tail Lights, with talented Chef David Ogden delighting the taste buds in the formal dining room or serving breakfasts and lunches al fresco on the aft deck.
Cruising the Caribbean in the winter and the Bahamas in the summer months, Captain Sean Kampfer says no two days are the same: “We have such a variety of itineraries and guests and we are kept on our toes! Guests love the aft deck and the flybridge and the yacht is always ready to party with our state of the art lighting and sound system.”
Tail Lights also boasts a superb range of water toys which includes a two-person Yamaha jet ski, inflatable paddle boards and two-person ski tube but Sean confides “The floating party island is the most popular among guests!”
The Cuisine
A versatile chef with over 20 years of five star culinary experience, Chef David Ogden is a talented and inspired cook who delivers a feast for the eyes and the palate.
After a successful career ashore, his love of travel inspired a move to superyachts where Chef David continues to thrill guests from the galley on board Tail Lights. A typical dinner menu might start with bacon wrapped scallops with honey butter followed by roasted duck breast or grilled swordfish with creamy parmesan polenta, charred broccolini and wild mushroom fricassee. And be sure to save room for dessert – his passion fruit cheesecake is simply out of this world!
