Some sailing yachts make you work for the experience. W makes the experience the work. W, a 24-metre YYachts Y8 built in 2023 by the acclaimed German shipyard, makes a persuasive case for both. With exterior lines by Luca Brenta & Co and interiors by British studio Design Unlimited, she is as visually striking as she is technically accomplished, a performance sloop designed to be sailed hard and lived in beautifully. Based at Club de Mar in Palma de Mallorca and available throughout the Balearics, France, and Italy, she accommodates up to eight guests across four en-suite double cabins in the care of a captain, deckhand, and a chef whose credentials are, by any measure, exceptional.

Four en-suite double cabins accommodate up to eight guests in an interior finished to a hotel-inspired standard. Imagine rain shower heads, warm ambient lighting, and the kind of considered detailing that Design Unlimited brings to every project. The open-plan saloon is flooded with natural light through multiple skylights, with sculpted soft furnishings, curated artwork, and a professional galley that sets the tone for the dining experience to come. Every meal aboard is in the hands of Chef George, who brings over 20 years of international experience including more than a decade in Michelin-starred kitchens and award-winning luxury hotels. His refined, highly personalised approach means every menu is built around each guest's tastes, dietary needs, and the rhythm of the day, delivered with a calm, discreet precision that has made his dining consistently memorable.
W's bespoke solar hardtop is one of her most distinctive features, elegant in its aesthetics and genuine in its commitment to sustainability and onboard comfort. On deck, the spacious cockpit serves as the social heart of the yacht, with generous seating and a large convertible dining table perfectly suited to long lunches, sundowners, and starlit dinners at anchor. Forward, wide bow areas invite guests to stretch out and take in the views of Mallorca, Ibiza, Formentera, and the coastlines beyond. Under sail, W's performance speaks for itself: speeds of 9 to 12 knots or more, with twin 115hp engines ensuring reliable passage-making in any conditions. Her lifting keel is perhaps her most quietly remarkable feature, granting access to the shallow coves and hidden anchorages that remain entirely beyond reach for most sailing yachts of her size, a level of privacy and discovery that sets her apart from almost anything in the Western Mediterranean.
A Seabob, wakeboard, two SUPs, snorkelling gear, inflatable water toys, and a Williams Jet Tender 395 for coastal exploration ensure that days at anchor offer as much variety as the sailing itself. What sets W apart from almost any yacht of her size is a dedicated toy garage that keeps the entire collection neatly stowed and entirely out of sight, a rare and genuinely considered feature that preserves the clean, uncluttered deck space that makes W such a pleasure to sail and live aboard. For a yacht of her character and performance, the toy collection feels perfectly calibrated, enough to fill a day, never enough to distract from the sailing. Built to a benchmark that few yachts of her size can approach, W sets a new standard for performance sailing in the Western Mediterranean. The Balearics, France, and Italy are simply the beginning.
