As you read this, the 70-foot Sunreef Free Spirit should be completing her interior refit. She is a 2008 build that accommodates eight guests. Look for her in the West Mediterranean this summer.

Bina

Bina is a 142-foot Mondomarine that got a refit in 2015, inside and out. As you can see in the photograph at right, her interior now has a dark wood sole, light furnishings, and pops of color in the accents. Bina is expected to charter this summer in the West Mediterranean.

Kanaloa

In 2015, Kanaloa — which had a top reputation for charter in the past — completed what Hill Robinson is calling more of a restoration than a refit, bringing the 1996 build back up to par and then some.

Eros

Brooks Motor Craft in Britain launched the 115-foot Eros in 1939. Her current owners bought her in 1992, and they have been working toward a museum-quality restoration ever since. Most recently, they added new upholstery, deck furniture and more.

Never Enough

Never Enough launched in 2006 and has finished several refits since. Her newest addition is a 37-foot Intrepid tender with drop-down dive door. She charters in Florida and the Bahamas.
