JURA II

JURA II is a 36.58-metre steel displacement vessel built in 1963 by Hall Russel of Aberdeen and most recently refitted in 2024. Her interior was entrusted to Loro Piana Interiors under Misa Poggi — a notable commission that brings a considered material sensibility to a hull of considerable age. At over six decades old, JURA II occupies a distinct position: a classic vessel whose 2024 refit speaks to ongoing investment rather than deferred maintenance, and whose Western Mediterranean charter deployment keeps her in well-charted waters.

She accommodates up to 12 guests across nine cabins, attended by six crew. That crew-to-guest ratio is modest for her guest count, placing her in a self-sufficient rather than highly attended service tier. Her charter regions focus on the Amalfi Coast, Corsica, Sardinia, the French Riviera, Monaco, and the French coast — grounds well suited to a displacement vessel of her speed profile. Guests seeking fast transits or ultra-contemporary outfitting will find her pace and character a poor match.

JURA II's identity is built on her vintage Hull Russel construction — a Scottish yard known for solid, seaworthy builds — and the contrast this presents alongside the Loro Piana interior. At a cruising speed of 10 knots and maximum of 11, she is not a vessel in a hurry, and guests who charter her do so because the journey itself has value. Her 4,200 nautical mile range is generous for a vessel of her era.

Scuba diving features prominently in her equipment inventory, with a dive compressor, full scuba gear, snorkelling equipment, kayaks, a wakeboard, kneeboard, water-skis, and a diving platform supporting active guests. The onboard experience is coloured by the Loro Piana interior — an environment of considered materials and proportion that functions as a counterpoint to her working classical exterior.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
