YPI Group Announces EUR1.6M Price Reduction for the Luxury Motor Yacht Jasmin

    ST. TROPEZ, FRANCE, January 28, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Yachting Partners International (the YPI Group) have announced that the luxury motor yacht Jasmin is now being offered for sale at the reduced price of EUR7,800,000, which represents a reduction of EUR1,600,000 from her original asking price. The sale is being handled by Will Allen and Bertrand Vogele of YPI Brokerage (YPI Group's yacht brokerage division).

Launched in 2003, Jasmin is a 36.84m (120.9') explorer yacht with a groundbreaking design that promotes both passenger comfort and full efficiency. She was built by the RMK Marine Shipyard (Istanbul, Turkey) and designed by Dick Boon of Vripack Yachting International. She has been praised as a 'winning example of creative design' that actively increases both space and function.

Jasmin is able to accommodate 10 overnight guests and includes 2 VIP cabins, with queen-size beds, 2 twin-bedded guest cabins and a 45sqm master-suite that includes a king-size bed, his 'n' hers bathrooms and features four full-height windows on either side. Indeed the windows aboard Jasmin are one of her particular features, as explained by Will Allen, who is acting as her yacht broker:

"Guests benefit from having large windows rather than small port holes to enjoy the views, an important part of the design of this yacht which also features ten oversized windows in the main saloon providing amazing views during cruising or whilst at anchor."

As delightful as her cabins are, it is arguable that the most important features of any yacht are its exterior spaces, after all nobody wants to spend the best part of a Caribbean yacht charter stuck indoors! Fortunately Jasmin's deck areas, which are constructed from teak, are particularly versatile and well appointed.

"Sun worshippers can relax in front of the bridge as well as on the upper deck or in the aft cockpit," adds Will. "Dining is possible on both the upper deck and the main deck levels, whilst the aft cockpit provides easy access to the water for tender access or water sports."

Jasmin operates under a Turkish commercial flag and is fully LRS and MCA compliant. She is also an exceptionally popular luxury charter yacht and is available for Mediterranean yacht charter from EUR80,000/week during the summer and EUR75,000 during the winter. Given that she has a range of almost 5,000 nautical miles and a very low fuel consumption of just 135 litres per hour, whoever buys Jasmin will enjoy access to far more remote locations than the Mediterranean:

"Jasmin combines sturdy, ocean-going capability with classic, elegant comfort, she has all the great characteristics of a much larger yacht...without any of the inconveniences. She is an outstanding yacht," concludes Bertrand. "And at this price I would recommend any buyers serious about owning an explorer to take the time now to inspect Jasmin...they wont be disappointed."
