Blush: combining performance and luxury

15th July 2023
Available for sale and charter with Camper & Nicholsons, the 45m Perini Navi Blush offers the winning combination of excellent sailing performance and luxurious accommodation. A versatile yacht equally at home on the racecourse, hosting a family or an upscale party, take a tour around her expansive socialising spaces and flexible cabin arrangements.

A formidable racing yacht and luxurious cruiser, Blush has an impressive history in celebrated regattas from Porto Cervo to St. Barth, earning respect from the yachting community. The second yacht in the Perini Navi 45-metre series, Blush is instantly recognisable for the gleaming dark red hull unique among the Perini Navi fleet. 

Flexible cabin layouts, fabulous decks for both sailing and socialising, and a palette of soft interiors in varying degrees of blushing pink, make this yacht a divine escape for exploring the Mediterranean this summer. Camper & Nicholsons takes a tour around her expansive and luxurious decks.

The Main Deck

Boarding the yacht from the stern, guests are welcomed onto the spacious teak aft deck with a pair of double sunbeds. A little further forward, under the protection of the hardtop bimini, a few steps down a central stair open to a gracious pair of matched alfresco dining areas in the cockpit. Banquette seating wraps around square tables with fold-out tops. Each table seats four when closed and eight when open, making room for 16 sheltered place settings. 

Forward to port, a fixed bar and serving station with fixed stools is backed by a floating stair, leading to the flybridge. To starboard, an L-shaped sofa and table are perfect for post-meal conversation. This forward section of the aft deck below the hard top bimini cover can be enclosed, should weather dictate, or open to the elements when nature delivers a pleasant day or magical evening. 

Through glass sliding doors, the main deck saloon features a fixed mahogany bar with four fixed mahogany bar stools to port, looking every bit the proper pub with brass rails for both hand and foot. Just forward of the bar is casual table seating for two. 

A sumptuous mahogany bookcase separates the bar area from a conversation and television area further forward, with a trio of seating options. Two comfy sofas and an upholstered chair with ottoman around a low coffee table create a divided but still connected space for pre or post dinner cocktails, film viewing, or relaxed socialising. 

To starboard, a staircase down to the guest cabins offers a mahogany rail for perfect entrances and exits. Forward of the staircase, a large, simple dining table for ten invites guests to sit and enjoy a fine repast while viewing the sea through the picture windows to port and starboard. Mahogany panelling throughout gives the yacht an old-world feel, while pale soft furnishings, ceilings, and carpets wash the space with a contemporary mood.

Forward of the saloon, the wheelhouse is visible through nicely framed windows offering privacy for the crew and an interesting view for guests. Forward of the wheelhouse, a spacious foredeck with sun pads and removable shade awning offers guests incredible views.

The Lower Deck

Accessing the guest cabins on the lower deck from the main saloon staircase, a lobby leads the way to accommodation for up to 12 guests. All in, there is a VIP double cabin, two twin cabins that convert to doubles with Pullman berths, and the very spacious owner's cabin that can be divided to make an additional cabin sharing a bathroom. 

The two forward en-suite cabins with Pullman berths are matched, port and starboard. Aft on port, another twin cabin can convert to a double. All cabins are beautifully outfitted with similar colour palettes and furnishings, trimmed with more satiny-smooth mahogany cabinetry, which contrasts exquisitely with the pale palette.

Fully aft, the owner's cabin runs full beam, showing off the yacht’s grand proportions. A beautiful mahogany desk sits to starboard below an oblong porthole, with shelves to each side and lighting overhead. Directly opposite the desk, a large, comfy sofa sits below the paired oblong porthole to port. The bed is positioned between the desk and the sofa, leaving an elegant amount of space to retreat. The owner's bathroom is a sophisticated mix of marble, glass, mahogany, and mirrors, with the appearance of a chic five-star hotel. To properly accommodate guests, the owner's cabin has a wood panel that can create an additional double cabin, sharing a bath with the convertible twin cabin just forward.

Separated from the guest cabins by soundproofed bulkhead, the engine room sits forward. Forward of that, the galley to port and the crew lounge to starboard, aft of the crew quarters and laundry area.

The Flybridge

Accessed via the cockpit staircase, the flybridge is where most of the navigation action happens. Fully forward, two helm stations with fold-down screens offer the best view all around. Just aft, a sun pad area allows guests to truly enjoy the ride. This is where you want to be when the stars come out or when the race starts. It is also the perfect spot for a sundowner.
