BLISS II

Cyrus Yachts launched BLISS II in 2014 with an expansive beach club that transforms the sailing experience into something approaching a floating resort. At water level, hydraulic platforms extend from the transom to create a private seaside terrace where guests can step directly into crystalline waters or lounge mere inches above the surface. The space doubles as a launching point for water sports and a shaded retreat when the Mediterranean sun peaks at midday. This 23-meter sailing yacht balances performance with comfort through thoughtful spatial planning. The beach club's retractable awning system provides instant shade while maintaining the open-air connection to the sea. Storage lockers integrate seamlessly into the platform design, housing snorkeling gear and water toys without cluttering the clean lines of the space. When not in use, the platforms fold flush against the hull, preserving the yacht's sailing profile. Forward motion comes naturally aboard BLISS II, where the rigging and sail plan deliver both spirited performance and stable cruising. The cockpit flows logically from helm to dining area, with sight lines that keep the captain connected to both guests and sailing conditions. Below deck, natural light filters through carefully positioned hatches and ports, creating bright, airy cabins that never feel confined despite the yacht's purposeful design. The galley opens to the main salon through a wide pass-through, allowing the chef to remain part of the conversation while maintaining dedicated workspace. Each element serves its purpose without excess, reflecting the practical elegance that defines well-executed yacht design. BLISS II delivers the rare combination of authentic sailing performance and genuine comfort, anchored by that remarkable beach club where the day's best moments naturally unfold.
