Te Manu

There are yachts, and then there is TE MANU—a floating embodiment of elegance, discretion, and enduring style. Launched in 1998 by the revered Italian shipyard Codecasa, this 49.5-meter classic is no passing fancy. With exterior lines drawn by Codecasa themselves and the refined hand of Franco Della Role guiding the design, TE MANU was born with pedigree and poise. More than two decades on, she remains a fixture in the upper echelons of the charter world—not merely surviving the tides of fashion, but mastering them.

Beneath her gleaming exterior lies a world where timeless design meets subtle evolution. Multiple refits over the years have ensured that TE MANU is not a relic, but a living, breathing icon of nautical luxury—continually refreshed, always relevant, and impeccably maintained. Her name still whispers through marinas from Monaco to Mustique, synonymous with polished teak decks, silken service, and that ineffable quality: presence.

Accommodating up to 12 guests, TE MANU offers six staterooms of quiet sophistication. The master suite, a full-beam sanctuary on the main deck, offers commanding views and rare tranquility. Adjacent lies a queen stateroom—ideal for close friends, or perhaps, a trusted confidante. Below, on the lower deck, four more staterooms await: two king doubles and two twins, each fitted with additional Pullman berths for that extra measure of flexibility. It’s a configuration as well-suited to a family gathering as it is to a discreet week at sea among friends.

And yes, there is an elevator—because on TE MANU, even movement is made effortless. From the sun-drenched sundeck to the water-level beach club, every inch of the yacht is accessible to all guests, regardless of mobility.

Of course, no grand yacht is complete without her toys—and TE MANU delivers in spades. An extensive collection of water sports gear, tenders, and the latest audiovisual systems ensures that adventure and indulgence are never mutually exclusive. But it’s the crew, impeccable and intuitive, who elevate the experience from luxurious to unforgettable. Their charter reputation is, in a word, stellar.

In a sea of newcomers and fleeting trends, TE MANU is that rare thing: a classic that only grows more desirable with age. Whether slicing through the sapphire waters of the Côte d’Azur or anchored off a hidden atoll in the South Pacific, she offers not just a voyage—but a return to the golden age of yachting, reimagined for the modern soul.
