Yacht of the Week: 65m Sea Rhapsody heads to the Seychelles for spring 2022

Related articles, superyacht directory.

Looking for an adventurous destination for your next superyacht charter? Join 65-metre superyacht Sea Rhapsody as she emerges from a refresh to embark on an exhilarating itinerary through the secluded islands of the Seychelles.

When Major General Charles Gordon visited the Seychelles for the first time in the summer of 1881, he declared that the country’s Praslin Island must have been the original site of the biblical Garden of Eden. With its white-sand beaches, lush jungles and pristine waters, it’s easy to see why Gordon was so moved by the beauty of this place – though he certainly would have arrived in less comfortable accommodations than those travelling by superyacht.

Charter guests with a sense of wanderlust will have the opportunity to explore these Edenic islands off the coast of East Africa by hopping on board Amels superyacht Sea Rhapsody . First delivered in 2012, the Tim Heywood -designed superyacht underwent a comprehensive refresh during the past winter and has just had her 10-year survey, meaning she is now ready to welcome guests back on board as she cruises the Indian Ocean with Captain Cameron Moore at the helm.

"With ribbons of powder-white sand lapped by warm, crystalline waters, the Seychelles deliver an idyllic barefoot getaway," says Ocean Independence senior charter manager Stephanie Archer. "Cruising this yachting haven on board Sea Rhapsody to discover scenic islands strewn with granite boulders, tropical palms and verdant peaks, is the ultimate luxury escape," she adds.

Scattered with World Heritage Sites , the Seychelles comprises over 100 mostly uninhabited islands decorated with picturesque bays and striking scenery. Underwater pursuits such as diving and snorkelling can be combined with on shore activities such as rock climbing and hiking during a charter holiday. Guests should also not miss an opportunity to enjoy a beach picnic with the chance of being joined by a local sea turtle.

With her toybox stocked with Jet Skis, kayaks, paddleboards, SeaBobs, waterskiing and wakeboarding gear as well as three tenders, Sea Rhapsody is more than prepared for guests to enjoy the island’s crystal-clear waters. Sea Rhapsody also offers a range of inflatable toys including towables and a slide, perfect for keeping children entertained on a family charter.

When it’s time to step back on board, Sea Rhapsody ’s stylish interiors by Winch Design provide the perfect spot for up to 12 guests to unwind, waited on by 18 crew members. Each of the six versatile staterooms, set up as five doubles and one twin or three doubles and three twins, have been artfully decorated with colourful furnishings. The communal spaces are similarly glamorous, with a perspex piano and marble-topped drinks bar in the lounge areas.

Up on the deck spaces, guests will find a large infinity pool surrounded by sunpads for taking in the views, as well as a gym area, al fresco dining space and even a cinema for an outdoor movie night under the stars. A spacious area aft offers a place to lounge closer to the waterline – an ideal spot to relax with a drink in hand while the night calls of local birds signal the end of the day.

" Sea Rhapsody has received glowing reviews from charter guests in the beautiful Seychelles," says Archer. "They have all appreciated her luxurious interior, array of water toys and top-level service. She really is an outstanding charter yacht with an amazing crew who offer a wealth of knowledge and are proud to welcome guests on board."

Sea Rhapsody will be cruising through the Seychelles until May 2022 before heading to the Mediterranean in June for the summer. She is managed for charter by Ocean Independence with a weekly charter rate starting from €525,000.

SEA RHAPSODY – AWARDED EXCLUSIVE CHARTER STATUS IN THE SEYCHELLES

Incomparable charter yacht, the 65m Amels SEA RHAPSODY , is based in the beautiful Seychelles until mid-April 2021.  Following exhaustive Covid protocols, extensive research and diligence by Captain Cameron, alongside our skilled management team, she is the first charter superyacht to be awarded a full and unencumbered Seychelles Charter Licence since the start of the pandemic.

Negating the need to isolate in a hotel upon arrival until Covid-19 testing is complete, this opportunity therefore removes a time-consuming and somewhat inconvenient element to future holiday plans.

An opportunity to discover scenic islands strewn with granite boulders, tropical palms and verdant peaks, there is now added peace of mind when cruising this yachting haven onboard SEA RHAPSODY.

The yacht has received glowing reviews from previous charter guests, who have appreciated her luxurious interior, array of water toys and top-level service.

‘Holy grail of shipwrecks’: recovery of 18th-century Spanish ship could begin in April

The San José, sunk in 1708, has been at the center of a dispute over who has rights to the wreck, including $17bn in booty

S ince the Colombian navy discovered the final resting place of the Spanish galleon San José in 2015 , its location has remained a state secret, the wreck – and its precious cargo – left deep under the waters of the Caribbean.

Efforts to conserve the ship and recover its precious cargo have been caught up in a complicated string of international legal disputes , with Colombia, Spain, Bolivian Indigenous groups and a US salvage company laying claim to the wreck, and the gold, silver and emeralds onboard thought to be worth as much as $17bn.

When Colombia tried to auction off part of the bounty to fund the colossal costs of recovering the ship, Unesco and the country’s high courts intervened.

But eight years after the discovery, officials now say they are pushing politics to one side and could begin lifting artefacts from the “holy grail of shipwrecks” as soon as April.

“There has been this persistent view of the galleon as a treasure trove. We want to turn the page on that,” Alhena Caicedo, director of the Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History, said. “We aren’t thinking about treasure. We’re thinking about how to access the historical and archeological information at the site.”

The San José was returning to Europe with treasures to help fund the war of the Spanish succession when it was sunk by a British squadron in 1708, close to the Caribbean port city of Cartagena.

Historians say the wreck could help reveal much about the Spanish empire at the height of its power – and the shared, overlapping histories of Europe and Latin America.

Eventually, Caicedo’s team hopes to raise the wreck itself, and put it on display in a custom-built museum where visitors will be able to explore “all the secrets of the bottom of the ocean”, she said.

But as the expedition continues to explore the site, the scale and complexity of the challenge is coming into focus.

Few ships like the San José have ever been recovered – and none has ever been salvaged from warm tropical waters.

“This is a huge challenge and it is not a project that has a lot of precedents. In a way, we are pioneers,” said Caicedo.

The closest comparison would probably be to the Mary Rose, the flagship of Henry VIII’s fleet, which sank in 1545 while in battle with the French fleet off the coast of Portsmouth.

That 16th-century wreckage was explored by hundreds of divers – many of whom were volunteers – for a decade before being carefully lifted in 1981. The surviving section of the ship’s hull is now on display in a £35m ($45m) museum .

Colombia’s navy has been studying the Mary Rose and other such marine conservation projects to see how it could lift and conserve the 40-metre-long ship and its contents without it all crumbling to dust.

“The San José is a very, very special ship. It’s comparable to the Mary Rose in that it was in action at the peak of Spanish technology and shipbuilding,” said Ann Coats, associate professor in maritime heritage at the University of Portsmouth.

“There are so many questions the San José could help answer!”

The San José’s cargo includes articles of glass, porcelain and leather, and historians hope the haul could inform their understanding of global 18th-century trade networks, Spain’s complex colonial hierarchy and the lives of the 600 souls onboard.

But while the Mary Rose lay in frigid coastal waters, the San José sank in deep, tropical waters which will probably have been cruel to the ship and could make the recovery one of the most costly and complex in history.

“The contents are really varied and we have no idea how the remains will react when they come into contact with oxygen. We don’t even know if it is possible to raise something out of the water,” said Caicedo.

The wreck’s precise location is a state secret to protect the site from looters, but Colombian authorities have revealed that it is 600 metres (2,000ft) below sea level – too far for divers to reach.

The country’s military is currently developing underwater robots that will first photograph, video and map the wreckage before carefully attempting any retrieval.

Exactly how much can be salvaged from the wreck will depend on myriad factors: currents, sea temperature, the type of silt the wreck is submerged in, how the ship’s 60 bronze cannons plunged to the seabed, and even which critters are now living there, says the head of the Mary Rose’s research program, Alex Hildred.

“It was also set on fire,” Hildred says. “Lifting the ship and creating a museum will be really difficult, really expensive and incredibly challenging … And then everyone wants a bit of it. It’s just a nightmare.”

The vessel’s international connections mean that historical research has until now been halted by international litigation over who is its rightful owner.

Although the wreck was found in Colombian waters, Spain has argued that the San José was part of the Spanish fleet and was returning from what was then part of the Spanish empire.

Meanwhile, Sea Search Armada (SSA), a US-based salvage company, has been locked in a legal battle with Colombia, arguing that it located the area in which the San José sank in 1981. SSA has argued that Colombia agreed to split any profits, but in 2011 a US court declared the galleon the property of the Colombian state.

Indigenous communities in Bolivia have also voiced a claim to any possible riches, arguing that their ancestors are likely to have mined the silver and gold used in many of the treasures .

The Colombian ministry of culture says the government has self-funded the first stage of exploration with $7.3m and it will not sell any of the precious artefacts as Unesco pleaded in 2018.

“Money has always driven the story of the San José. The British wanted to capture it to deny money to Spain, then the money onboard drove the archaeological search for the wreck,” said Coats. “Then disputes got in the way of studying the ship. It would be nice if for once money wasn’t driving things and a huge cultural collaboration could take place to study it properly.”

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
