PERMABEAR

PERMABEAR is a 2023 Bali sailing catamaran designed for larger groups who appreciate bright interiors, easy flow, and ocean views at every turn. Her teak-floored cockpit features dining for 10 and a plush lounge bench, creating an inviting setting for long meals and unhurried afternoons at anchor. Above, the expansive flybridge offers panoramic 360° views, close-up sail watching, cool breezes, and a favorite perch for sundowners.

Accommodating up to 10 guests, PERMABEAR offers 3 queen cabins and 2 twin cabins, each with a private ensuite. Inside, wraparound windows fill the airy, modern salon with natural light, while multiple social spaces throughout the yacht make it easy for everyone to gather together or spread out comfortably. Spacious, sunlit, and made for shared adventures, PERMABEAR is the kind of charter guests will talk about long after the week is over.

From $34,000 / week

PERMABEAR

The Permabear crew was amazing. They tailored our experience to our requests, and we welcomed their suggestions for some unforgettable experiences. They were extremely professional, competent, and accommodating...not to mention fun! They went above and beyond to be sure we were happy and having the best time possible, while keeping us safe.

The yacht was very clean and well maintained. It had plenty of room to lounge in various places, and we could access those areas whenever we wanted to. Very comfortable

Chef Erin did an incredible job! She prepared and presented all snacks and meals beautifully and to our preferences. All ingredients were fresh and meals were delicious.

We all enjoyed the areas we visited, and the planning of said itinerary was accommodating to our requests. The zoom meeting with the crew prior to our charter was particularly helpful to not only meet the crew, but to flesh out our plans ahead of time and be sure all were on the same page.
