Details. Details. Details.

Benefiting from the eye of Scottish designer Guy Oliver (best known for styling London’s 10 Downing Street and Claridge’s), Malahne’s period interior enjoys a bespoke lighting scheme that uses original materials from the 1930s. Rich woods, patterned fabrics and muted colour schemes that reflect the spirit of her glory days are complemented by authentic details, such as Baccarat crystal, Willer porcelain and a collection of Georg Jensen silver cutlery from 1937. A lamp by Art Deco designer Edgar Brandt elevates the main saloon.

On Board

Bedrooms Fit For Kings

The full-beam master cabin is a lesson in legacy making. Accompanied by a private lobby, the inviting space gifts barefoot luxury with soft, blue carpets made by Taylor Smith in London and tactile fabrics from Claremont Furnishings. The curvaceous ensuite bathroom is marble-clad with a symmetrical layout that centres around a full-size bathtub. No expense is spared in all guest cabins, including the lower deck twin where a pair of writing desks hit the note.

Service

Singing for Service

From cosy nooks on the main deck aft to sprawling loungers on the upper deck, Malahne’s exterior spaces are serviced by a tight knit crew of 11 to ensure all 10 guests’ onboard experience is as elegant as the boat itself. Shade is found under the sun awning aft, along with al fresco dining, itself elevated by the yacht’s talented resident chef.

Performance

Propulsion and Power

Originally designed and built for the owner of renowned J-Class yacht, Velsheda, classic motor yacht Malahne accommodates 10 guests in six cabins. The former steam locomotive broke the world speed record of her day. Now fully restored, the steel-hulled displacement boat boasts zero speed stabiliser, air conditioning and a comfortable cruising speed of 12.5 knots thanks to her twin Caterpillar C32 engines.
