Timbuktu
- 41.8m | Baglietto | 2009 (2016)
The 41.8 metre Timbuktu was built by the Italian shipyard Baglietto in 2009. Having undergone an extensive refit in 2016 and featuring a contemporary interior design by the renowned British studio of Bannenberg & Rowell, Clicia is a yacht that exceeds expectations.
Not only is Timbuktu packed with true superyacht features, but her smart layout delivers the feeling of a much larger yacht. Inside-outside living is key, with light interior spaces seamlessly connected to spacious deck areas. The sky lounge is a fantastic example, with floor to ceiling windows, a bar and sliding doors that open out to the al fresco dining area.
Timbuktu accommodates 10 guests in five comfortable cabins consisting of a full beam master suite on the main deck and four en suite guest cabins on the lower deck, once of which is convertible to provide flexibility in sleeping arrangements.
The Captain
Captain David Burke was born and raised on the shores of the Atlantic coast of Ireland and has pursued a passion for the sea his whole life. Over the past 20 years, Captain Burke has gained extensive experience as a superyacht charter captain.
Multiple seasons cruising in the Mediterranean make him an expert in destination hotspots with first hand knowledge of the region’s hidden treasures. Captain Burke enthusiastically leads Timbuktu's professional crew of nine, always going the extra mile to deliver a memorable experience on board.
The Experience
Timbuktu offers the complete luxury charter yacht experience, beautifully fitted out with a surprising amount of space and first class service. From the moment you step on board, her international crew of nine create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, discreetly on hand to attend to your every need.
Timbuktu features all the superyacht amenities you could wish for: sophisticated living areas, huge deck spaces and the best of the yacht life. The aft sun deck is the perfect spot for soaking up the sun in style, complete with a jacuzzi surrounded by sun pads and space for casual dining, with a bar and further space for sunbathing located forward.
One deck below, a gym provides the perfect space for a revitalising morning work out before heading through the aft sliding doors of the sky lounge to enjoy a morning coffee al fresco on the upper deck.
One of Timbuktu’s highlights is undoubtedly her 12 metre custom tender, enabling easy access to the most secluded coves in the Mediterranean in safety and comfort. An additional 3.4 metre tender as well as a jet ski, SeaBob, kayaks, professional diving equipment and plenty of inflatables complete the package.
The Cuisine
Chef John-Mark Bland has been creating outstanding culinary experiences for the past 30 years. Specialising in French cuisine, Chef Bland flexed his culinary skills in South Africa’s best restaurants before setting up a luxury catering business in Cape Town.
A passion for fine food has taken Chef Bland all over the world. Fresh ingredients define his menus, often handpicked at the local market, and he has a natural flair for bringing the best elements to the table in style. Guests can always be sure that Chef Bland’s menus will be elegant, fresh and exquisitely presented.
Timbuktu’s dining areas offer a range of settings to enjoy the gastronomic experience on board. Formal dining in the main salon with full-height windows is adjacent to the galley for seamless service, while the main deck aft features the perfect set up with a circular dining table and built-in seating area for al fresco feasts. The sundeck bar and small dining area on the sun deck by the jacuzzi are the ideal setting for a sunset aperitif or laidback lunches with ocean views.
