For the fifth season of hit TV series Below Deck , the luxury yacht was bigger and more luxurious than ever before: 56.2m/184.5ft motor yacht THE WELLESLEY was named THE WELLINGTON on the show, and here is the tour through her cabins and cigar room right up to the sundeck – almost as good as being there yourself!

The Interiors

Built in 1993 by Oceanco , she received and extensive refit in 2016 that refreshed her appearance inside and out. Luxurious marbles are used across the decks, accompanied by plush leather furnishings and impeccable joinery in a range of high quality wood varieties.

The formal dining room is separate from the main salon for a more intimate dining experience between guests. A high-glass circular table sits in the centre of the room and the seating arrangement can be altered for up to 12 guests.

Main deck formal dining setting

The inviting main salon is one of the first areas guests and visitors will encounter: Velvet sofas and armchairs form a cosy conversation area at the centre of the room, surrounded by mahogany panelling and top notch technology for entertaining day or night. Lighting plays an important part in the ambiance, and in addition to the numerous ceiling spotlights there are table lamps that fit seamlessly with the art deco-inspired surroundings.

What would be the skylounge aboard most vessels is the cigar room aboard this superyacht! Situated on the upper deck aft, famous cigar smokers of the past century adorn the walls of this distinctive gentleman’s lounge. An entire wall cabinet is dedicated to vintage cigars and a choice whiskeys accompanied by crystal glasses. Overstuffed leather armchairs are placed in the centre of the room and the widescreen TV for the latest sports and a large library of films. A desk in the corner lets the room be used as an office by charter guests who need to keep an eye on business matters.

The Exteriors

The main deck aft is unusual in providing a raised aft area extensively furnished with sofas, armchairs and drinks tables for outdoor relaxation in the sunshine or shade. Steps lead down to the grand alfresco dining area, and a staircase leads to the lower deck and the beach club in the stern.

superyacht in wellington

Working out on the aft deck

The upper deck aft is fitted with a massive sunbathing area along the stern that can be covered by a bimini shade for use throughout the day. Farther forward, the seating arrangement provides comfort and great views as guests unwind with drinks and savour the fresh air.

Personalised massage on board

Those looking for the Jacuzzi will find it on the sundeck forward, surrounded by plush sunpads on both sides. Guests can soak up the sunshine on the sun loungers along the stern too, while the expert chef prepares a delectable lunch and cocktails are served from the wet bar.

The Accommodation

The accommodation is placed across the decks, with a Master suite on the upper deck benefiting from elevated views. White panelling and mahogany woods add to the sense of space and elegance with a simple and clean appearance. The room has an abundance of space for a king-sized bed and a lounge in front of a massive widescreen TV, and the en-suite bathroom is just as opulent with marble floors and wall panels.

superyacht in wellington

Guest cabin

The twin cabin aft of the Master suite is the only cabin on board not to have its own sofa, although it does have large plush beds and its own en-suite.

Since the 2016 refit, the main deck forward has changed from an observation room to become the second VIP suite. Here the occupants have a gorgeous light-filled space thanks to the skylight panels arranged in a semi-circular formation, and at night these can be left open for stargazing or covered for complete privacy.

superyacht in wellington

Master suite

The lower deck has the original VIP stateroom amidships and this highly desirable cabin is more the equivalent of a second Master suite: The full beam affords an abundance of space with a king-sized bed at its centre, a wall-mounted widescreen TV, a lounge to starboard and a desk to port. The en-suite bathroom has a bathtub in addition to a shower, and it connects through to the walk-in-wardrobe, which in turn leads back into the bedroom.

A double and twin en-suite cabin are also placed on this deck and both provide a generous amount of space with a sofa and widescreen TV for relaxing in comfort at the end of a busy day.

Additional Benefits

The collection of water toys onboard is vast, encompassing everything from high-speed jet skis and Seabobs aboard this Approved RYA Water Sports Centre, to Scuba diving equipment and inflatable and towable toys. The water slide will be a hit with guests of all ages, and when the group wants to stay on board there is a range of gym equipment including yoga mats for exercise, fresh air and panoramic views.

Transom beach club with tender

Among the crew there are trained jet ski instructors and a professional massage therapist, so guests can spend the morning learning how to use the water toys and exploring along the coast before returning to a delectable lunch and an afternoon of sunbathing and treatments.

Superyacht THE WELLESLEY is available for charter to make your holiday, honeymoon, corporate charter or other special occasion one to remember.

superyacht in wellington

Seasonal fluctuations of chartering yachts

The Mediterranean yacht charter season generally runs from April to October , with the peak months being July and August. During these months, demand is high, and prices tend to be at their highest. However, you can still find great deals during the shoulder months of May, June, September, and October. The weather and sailing conditions vary depending on the time of year, so make sure to do your research and choose the best time to suit your preferences and budget.

Additional expenses for chartering a yacht

Additional expenses such as fuel, food, beverages, and harbor fees can significantly impact your total cost. Most yacht charters operate on an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) basis, which means you will be charged a percentage of the charter fee (usually 20–30%) to cover these additional expenses. It's important to plan and budget for these costs to avoid any surprises.

Remember that tipping the crew is customary, so factor that into your budget as well. A general guideline is 10–15% of the total charter fee, depending on the quality of service.

Yacht charters can also offer optional extras such as water sports equipment, diving gear, or event planning services. These can add to the overall cost, so consider which optional features you'd like to include in your charter experience and inquire about their associated fees.

Choosing the perfect yacht for your Mediterranean vacation is an exciting step in the planning process. To find the ideal yacht for your needs, consider the following factors:

Budget : Determine how much you're willing to spend on your yacht charter experience. The cost to rent a yacht can vary significantly, from €140,000 per week for the Below Deck yachts to more affordable options from various yacht rental services.

Duration : Decide how long you'd like to charter the yacht and plan your itinerary accordingly. This will help you pick the most suitable yacht for your desired time frame.

Guests : Assess the number of guests joining your trip. Ensure the yacht you choose can accommodate everyone comfortably.

Amenities : Consider the type of amenities you'd like on board. These may include gym equipment, watersports equipment, or spa facilities. Make sure the yacht provides the amenities you need for an enjoyable time.

Now that you have an idea of what you're looking for in a yacht, follow these steps to book your Mediterranean yacht experience:

Step 1: Research yacht charter agencies

Start by researching reputable yacht charter agencies, like CharterWorld or Northrop & Johnson . Browse their websites to see the different yachts and itineraries available.

Step 2: Contact a yacht charter broker

Get in touch with a professional yacht charter broker who can help you find the perfect yacht for your needs. Discuss your budget, desired time frame, and preferences with the broker to narrow down your choices.

Step 3: Select your yacht

Choose the yacht that best suits your preferences, budget, and availability. Ensure the yacht is available during your desired dates and confirm the details of the rental agreement.

Step 4: Finalize your booking

Once you've selected your yacht and agreed on the price and rental terms, submit the necessary paperwork and deposits to secure your booking. Make sure to read and understand the contract thoroughly before signing.

You can save money on your Mediterranean yacht charter experience without compromising on the luxurious amenities and unforgettable memories that a Below Deck-style vacation can provide. In this section, we will explore how you can save on yacht charters by booking in advance and taking advantage of discounts and offers available for the famous yachts seen on Below Deck.

Booking in advance

One of the best ways to save on your yacht charter costs is by booking early. Yacht charter companies often offer early booking discounts to encourage customers to secure their spots ahead of time. By being proactive and booking your yacht charter several months—or even a year—in advance, you can enjoy significant savings and ensure that your desired yacht is available for your chosen dates.

Additionally, booking early will allow you to have more flexibility in selecting the perfect itinerary and destination, avoiding peak travel times, and securing better overall rates for both the yacht and any additional expenses such as food, fuel, and activities.

Discounts and offers

Keep an eye out for special deals and offers when searching for your yacht charter. For instance, CharterWorld provides Mediterranean Yacht Charter Price Deals that can save you up to 40% on your booking. These deals can include last-minute discounts, seasonal promotions, and even package deals that bundle your yacht charter with additional amenities or activities.

When searching for discounts, always check with the yacht charter company or broker to see if they have any exclusive deals or promotions going on. You may also want to consider joining mailing lists or following yacht charter companies on social media to stay informed about the latest offers.

Take a Tour of Below Deck Med's New Yacht, the Largest in the Show's History

Captain Sandy shows us  Below Deck Mediterranean's biggest yacht ever, which is also its most glamorous. 

superyacht in wellington

Season 5 of Below Deck Mediterranean will take place aboard the largest boat in the series' history — and, quite possibly, also its most glam. From her dock in Mallorca, Spain, captain Sandy Yawn invited BravoTV.com to tour the stunning yacht, calling  The Wellington "by far, the biggest vessel I've ever run." Ready to peek inside? 

How to Watch

Watch Below Deck Mediterranean  on Peacock  and the Bravo app . 

Starting in the main salon, the captain shows off the "nice and spacious" room with plush couches, gilded lamps, and a giant flat-screen TV. ("This is where I think I'd do my pre-charter meeting — and perhaps my tip meeting," Sandy muses.) Next, there's a stop in the wood-paneled cigar room, which has tufted leather lounge furniture and a cabinet brimming with top-shelf whiskeys and scotches. "Obviously, they spared no expense when it comes to this," Sandy says. "This owner really loves his cigars and his whiskey." 

Past the sumptuous indoor dining room, there's the master cabin. The 1920s-theme suite has been refurbished with mahogany and inlaid leather, and its Pratesi sheets go for about 2,000 Euros a pop. "The cool thing about this [suite]," Sandy adds, "it's got an actual closet. It's a proper dressing room."

Formerly an observation lounge, the V.I.P. suite has a glass ceiling. "It's almost like driving under the stars," Sandy says, looking up at the ceiling dreamily as she lies on the bed.  

Next, Sandy dips into the crew quarters, where third stewardess Jessica More is at work ironing. "This is like entering the Bermuda Triangle," the captain jokes. "Some things that come in, never make it back out." While she walks through the rather cramped crew mess, Sandy jokes: "If anyone wants to get romantic, they have to get really creative to get romantic in these small little cabins." (Why do we have a feeling the crew will still find a way?) 

After a walk through her "amazing" bridge and wing station, Sandy meets up with her new "favorite bosun," who might look familiar: It's Below Deck Med veteran Malia White ! Malia leads the next segment of the tour, showing the lazarette that holds toys ranging from jet skis to a jellyfish pool, slide, and trampoline.

On the bridge deck, Malia shows off the cushioned area where the deckhands have wrestling matches, and then points out the waterfall-equipped jacuzzi on the sundeck. Sandy, who grew up in the meat industry , pauses to say: "This is a pretty badass grill." 

As Sandy says, "The bigger the boat ... I don't know!" We'll all have to watch Season 5 to find out. In the meantime, watch the video above to get the complete Wellington tour.

Welcome to the Most Expensive Yacht in 'Below Deck' History

Jun. 5 2020, Updated 1:07 p.m. ET

Below Deck Mediterranean returns to Bravo for its fifth season which undoubtedly will have all the drama and mayhem viewers have come to expect and love from the show. This season, Captain Sandy and her crew are manning the biggest and most luxurious boat the show has ever seen.

To drum up excitement for the new season, Bravo recently released a personalized virtual tour of the yacht , led by Captain Sandy and new bosun, Malia White. The superyacht, which measures a staggering 56.2 meters, left audiences stunned. 

Featuring sumptuous interiors, state-of-the-art deck toys, and even a waterfall-equipped jacuzzi, The Wellington has already captured the imaginations of fans before the new season has even aired. But what wasn’t included in the tour was exactly how much it costs to charter a vessel as grand as The Wellington. 

Keep scrolling to find out everything you need to know about how much it costs to get on a Below Deck Mediterranean yacht.

How much does it cost to charter The Wellington?

The Wellington, originally named The Wellesley, is the largest yacht ever featured on any of the Below Deck franchises. It's also the largest Captain Sandy has ever been at the helm of. 

The yacht is listed on Charter World for a cool €220,000 (around $243,000) per week, comes fully staffed, and is able to accommodate up to 12 guests. 

If you’re thinking that’s a number within reach, keep in mind that the price unfortunately doesn’t include expenses like food and drinks, fuel costs, docking fees, and taxes.

The Wellington boasts a 1920s theme and luxe interiors that include a club lounge and a bespoke humidor, complete with a selection of cigars and top-shelf whiskeys. Massive bedrooms are accompanied by walk-in closets and each bathroom is made with a different type of marble. 

This yacht also has a VIP room that includes panoramic windows and a skylight that allows guests to sleep under a view of the stars.

While the luxuries of The Wellington certainly don’t come cheap in real life, charter guests that appear on the show do enjoy a bit of a discount to charter the yacht. 

Guests usually pay around half of the listed price for a three-day charter, which includes being pampered and having their every whim indulged by the ready-to-please crew.

The most expensive yacht on 'Below Deck' history also means bigger tips than we've seen before.

As it’s been pointed out by Below Deck creator Mark Cronin , despite getting the discount, charter guests are still paying out of their own pocket to be on the show. Guests also are responsible for the cash tip that they customarily leave for the crew at the end of every charter, but they can decide what that tip will be based on their experience onboard the yacht. 

Gratuity is usually 15 to 30 percent of the non-discounted rate for chartering a yacht like this, which for The Wellington works out to around €33,000 to €66,000 ($36,537 to $73,146). After a total of 12 seasons of the Below Deck franchise, a tip of this amount is absolutely unheard of. 

But on a boat where the bedsheets cost €2,000 ($2,200) a pop, you get what you pay for. 

Season 5 of Below Deck Mediterranean premieres Monday, June 1 at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 5: Here’s what you need to know about The Wellington yacht

Below Deck Med Season 5 yacht The Wellington is the biggest ever on the show.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 5 is ready to set sail. The hit Bravo show features a new superyacht, The Wellington, and it is going to give a new set of challenges to the crew this season.

Captain Sandy Yawn gave viewers a glimpse at the vessel — which is the largest yacht to be featured on any of the Below Deck franchises — via The Daily Dish . It is an 84.5-foot luxury yacht built in 1993, with a massive renovation done in 2016. Even the bridge where the captain navigates her way is top-notch.

The interior

Captain Sandy kicks off the tour by letting fans know that the yacht is docked in Mallorca, Spain – the beautiful location chosen for Below Deck Med Season 5.

The main salon is gorgeous, with two plush couches, plush chairs, and even a giant flat-screen TV for guests’ entertainment. There is a modern yet comfortable and livable vibe about the spacious main area.

Captain Sandy shared that she has both her pre-charter meeting and tip meetings in the main salon because it is so spacious.

Right off the main salon is the cigar room. It is the first one ever to be featured on the Bravo show too. There is an entire wall dedicated to the finest cigars, choice whiskeys, and best scotches around. Another wall features portraits of some of the most famous cigar smokers ever – like Winston Churchill.

Next up is the beautiful indoor dining area. It is not that large of a space. There is a big circle table in the middle, making the room luxurious and cozy at the same time.

The guest area features a VIP suite with a massive television and a glass ceiling that will make guests feel like they are sleeping under the stars. All cabins, including the master suite, have a refurbished mahogany décor.

Last but not least, is the crew area. The quarters are nice but also standard for a yacht. It is going to be close quarters for sure.

The exterior

The exterior of The Wellington is just as fabulous as the interior, with the main aft deck being the first thing guests see when venturing outside.

Then there is the massive upper deck for guests and the crew to enjoy sunbathing or lounging with drinks. The lounge and sun area have cushions to ensure charter guests are comfortable at all times.

The deck also includes a waterfall-equipped jacuzzi and a grill.

There are plenty of toys for the guests to enjoy this season too. Captain Sandy showed off the area where the toys are stored. Bosun Malia White joined her in the area to share that the boat has a slide, a trampoline, jet ski’s, SEABOBs, scuba diving equipment, and a jellyfish pool.

Anyone who boards The Wellington during Below Deck Med Season 5 will be amazed by the luxury accommodations.

Below Deck Mediterranean premieres on Monday, June 1 at 9/8c on Bravo.

By Katia Damborsky   1 June 2020

Back for a fiery fifth season around the sunny shores of Spain , Below Deck Mediterranean will be hitting our screens tonight at 9/8c on Bravo TV. Ahead of the premiere, take a look inside the superyacht starring in season 5 of the show:  the Wellington (aka the Wellesley).

New destination, new crew, new yacht. There's a lot of change in store for Below Deck Med Season 5, but no doubt we can expect the same authentic glimpse inside life on board luxury charter yachts .

Season 5 has been filmed around  Mallorca , a pretty little island close to Ibiza off the eastern coast of Spain. The homeport during the show is Port Adriano.

Alongside returning favorites including Captain Sandy Yawn and Chief Stewardess Hannah Ferrier, the show will feature an almost entirely new crew; check out our article for a sneak peak at the new crew of Below Deck Med Season 5.  

Adding further excitement, Season 5 has also been filmed on board the biggest superyacht in Below Deck Med history: the Wellington . 

In real life, this yacht goes by the name 'The Wellesley'. Many yachts on Below Deck and Below Deck Med go by aliases on the show- you can read our article, Below Deck Yacht Names and Cost to Rent Revealed .

What's the name of the yacht from Below Deck Med Season 5?

Below Deck Season 5 yacht is called the Wellesley, but it was renamed the 'Wellington' for the show.

The Wellesley, or the Wellington, is a highly popular charter yacht with a wide range of amenities and facilities. 

She has a large jacuzzi with a spillpool feature and a great range of alfresco lounging areas across her 3 decks.

Her interiors have been finished in an elegant 1920's theme, with a refined black and cream color palette and solid marble surfaces in the en suites.

She was built by prestigious Dutch shipyard Oceanco, and she offers accommodation for a total of 12 guests.

You can check out our Virtual Tour Inside Below Deck Yacht 'The Wellington'  for a closer look.

How much does it cost to charter 'The Wellington' from Below Deck Med?

The cost to charter the Wellington (or the Wellesley) is from €220,000 (approximately $243,000) per week.

This price does not include expenses such as all on-board food and beverages, fuel, docking fees, crew tip and local tax (VAT). 

She is available for Mediterranean yacht charters in the summer months.

An all-female lead crew

Season 5 of Below Deck is unique in that it will be the first to feature an all-female lead crew, with Captain Sandy at the helm, Hannah Ferrier leading the interior and bosun Malia White managing her deck team. 

Ahead of the new season, YachtCharterFleet had the chance to sit down with Captain Sandy Yawn to hear her thoughts on Below Deck Mediterranean and the world of  crewed yacht charters .

One thing Sandy touched on was how difficult it is to be a female captain, saying;  "I have been turned down for jobs because I am a woman. It's so shocking to me that there are few woman on deck today.

"If it wasn't for Below Deck I believe we would have even fewer women in yachting. I love that the show always has a female on deck."

For the full transcript, you can read our exclusive interview with Captain Sandy Yawn .
