I am from Switzerland and love the mountains. My wife, Maria, is from Malta and loves the sea. I always said I would never buy a boat, but when your wife wants to charter one for her birthday, you do it! We chartered a 131ft yacht, and we loved it. At the time a friend who had a Perini Navi showed me a yachting website - it may have been boatinternational.com -and I noticed the 131ft Heesen Lady Azul. While I was negotiating the price, someone stepped in and offered the asking price, but luckily the deal fell through. With one look from my wife, I knew there would be no discussion this time. Before launching into an expensive refit we were able to enjoy time aboard. Our captain showed us the beautiful islands off the west coast of Malaysia and Thailand, and we took trips to Myanmar and Sular Kha Mouk Island. The water was so clear and the sea life so colorful that it felt like swimming in an aquarium. I knew I had made the right decision.
