Accommodations
Firefly is a beautiful 28.6-metre gentleman’s yacht, launched in 2015.
With renowned Dutch pedigree from the Mulder shipyard and a shortlist for “Yacht Concept up to 40 metres” from the International Yacht & Aviation Awards under her belt, Firefly is the perfect yacht for discerning guests who are looking for both style and substance for their charter.
Just one of many brokers notes: “My client felt so comfortable on the boat that they extended their time on board. I think Firefly is a beautiful boat.” Her large volume, efficient cruising and classic style ensure maximum comfort, while her long waterline provides outstanding seakeeping capabilities.
The impressive saloon, dining room and bar area covers over 40 square meters. Floor to ceiling windows and clever mirrored window frames provide stunning views of the scenery and plenty of natural light.
The spacious aft deck is set up for al fresco dining, and is the perfect spot to watch the world go by. Aft, the swim platform lowers into the sea to act as a substantial swimming ladder or can be raised up to offer easy shore access, a great asset for less mobile guests.
Forward, Firefly has a more intimate dining area on the bow, with a removable sun awning, which is often used when stern to in marinas for guests who would like a little extra privacy. The extremely spacious 85m2 flybridge includes generous seating with tables and a feature bar incorporating a BBQ. The space is designed for relaxation and entertaining, providing plenty of shaded area for al fresco dining.

Chef - Giuseppe Gabriel Passaretti
Giuseppe, born on the island of Ischia in the Gulf of Naples, will be your chef on the magnificent Firefly. It was on this beautiful island in the Tyrrhenian Sea that he first acquired his culinary knowledge. Among the lemon and orange groves of his homeland, he learned to enhance the natural products with intoxicating aromas, using everything that the land and sea provide.
Giuseppe´s cuisine is typically traditional, deeply rooted in the history of Naples. He draws inspiration from the city´s rich culinary heritage, including many seafood recipes. Guests can expect authentic mussel soups in the manner of Ippolito Cavalcanti, an esteemed 18th-century culinary expert, and a variety of pasta dishes enriched with carefully selected seafood or specific fish to enhance each dish. One standout is the magnificent pacchero with scorpion fish and yellow cherry tomatoes.
Beyond seafood, Giuseppe also prepares dishes ranging from the most traditional ragù to the simplest cuts of meat, expertly cooked on the onboard barbecue. He eagerly awaits the opportunity to welcome you aboard the Firefly, where you will embark on two kinds of journeys: the classic one through the waves of the sea and a more intense one through the delicious dishes he will prepare for you.
Stewardess - Ellie Pennigton
With 12 years of experience in hospitality, Elle is now embarking on an exciting new journey in yachting as a stewardess. Passionate about travel, music, and meeting new people, she is dedicated to providing guests with the best possible experience, full of adventure and a fun outlook on travel.
