Below Deck Mediterranean Season 8 in Italy onboard motor yacht MUSTIQUE

Equally beautiful were the facilities aboard this season’s luxury charter yacht, which was designed by Dee Robinson. While it was refitted in 2018, MUSTIQUE still retains much of her elegant interiors from the original construction in 2005. Viewers of Below Deck Mediterranean will be able to admire the yacht’s classical mahogany paneling set against cream carpets and upholstery, as well as the bathrooms’ marbled surfaces.

Finely balancing the classic with the contemporary, MUSTIQUE is a luxury yacht capable of delivering the best of everything.

The megayacht has 6 cabins that can hold 12 guests in 9 beds with a crew of 12. Its special features include a baby grand piano and a deck jacuzzi, which guarantees to keep charter guests as entertained as those who Captain Sandy and her crew served. With its full-displacement steel hull, MUSTIQUE offers guests a much more stable onboard experience at anchor. It also has an advanced stabilization system which reduces the side-to-side roll of the yacht, promising guests comfort even while cruising at a speed of 12 knots. 

When Below Deck’s featured guests weren’t cruising, they could enjoy the truly extensive selection of water toys onboard MUSTIQUE: after soaking up the sun on her chic sundeck, the luxury yacht invites guests to soar over the water on Zapata Flyboards or Yamaha FX WaveRunner; MUSTIQUE also has waterskis, a seabob, paddleboards, and much more. 

This year's season of Below Deck Mediterranean was based out of Genoa, an historical maritime city which is a popular stop-off on Mediterranean charters owing to its ornate palazzos and stunning medieval buildings. Charter guests were then taken down along the coast to small seaside towns like  Sestri Levante and Santa Margherita, which is home to a pretty palm-laden promenade that visitors can stroll along with an Italian coffee in hand from one of the local cafes. While this year's guests did not visit Portofino, this is the most popular destination in the Ligurian Province  and a must-see for Italian charters.

If you are interested in recreating the Below Deck experience, then charters for the superyacht MUSTIQUE start at approximately $244 000 per week plus expenses. Be sure to speak with your preferred charter broker to book this vessel to see the Italian Riviera yourself as part of your Italian yacht charter.
