By Katie Scott 14 April 2025

Turning heads on the big screen, 158.6ft (48.3m) charter yacht AZUL V caught the public eye as her streamlined silhouette stole the spotlight from contestants on the Channel 4 TV show Tempting Fortunes.

A show that surrounds a challenging journey through the Langkawi jungle in Malaysia, the indulgent CRN Yachts yacht charter was presented to the contestants as the show’s final luxury temptation. But while the cameras captured her glimmering sundecks and Jacuzzi views, the real appeal lies in what you don’t see on screen: the sense of calm, comfort, and quiet glamour she delivers to every charter guest that steps aboard.

Offering timeless charm with an edge of resilience, charter yacht AZUL V was once a favorite among the fleet of Mediterranean yacht charters under the name KANALOA. Facing an uncertain future in 2014, extensive corrosion and mounting maintenance costs saw her left dockside and destined for disposal. Enter a determined crew, a project manager with vision, and a tightly capped €3 million refit budget, she made a majestic return and is now a prime choice for indulgent family yacht charters.
