QUEEN SOUTH

QUEEN SOUTH is a 30.99-metre GRP displacement motor yacht built by Versilcraft in 1988 and refitted in 2009, operating under charter along the French Riviera. At this length and with this build heritage, she represents the smaller end of the charter superyacht market — a compact, characterful vessel suited to the sheltered coastal waters of the Côte d'Azur and Corsica rather than open-ocean passages.

She accommodates up to 10 guests across 4 cabins, served by a crew of 5, and concentrates her charter activity on the French Riviera, Monaco, and Corsica. This profile suits smaller groups — couples, close friends, or compact families — who want access to iconic Riviera anchorages with a modest operational footprint. Guests expecting the amenity depth or scale of a larger modern vessel will find her scope is different; her proposition is access and character in a well-known cruising ground.

Versilcraft's GRP construction from this era produced vessels with relatively light displacement suitable for coastal passages, and her hull form supports the cruising and displacement speeds typical of this class. The 2009 refit has maintained her in serviceable condition for Riviera charter use. A maximum speed of 25 knots gives useful flexibility for repositioning, while her 750-nautical-mile range is appropriate for her Mediterranean coastal brief.

The onboard experience is straightforward and unpretentious: air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and the basics of comfortable cruising are present. The toys inventory covers wake board, water-skis, banana, and doughnut — a modest but functional package for guests who want water-based activity without an elaborate programme. She is suited to a charter yacht experience that prizes simplicity, familiarity with the Riviera, and direct access to anchorages that larger vessels cannot reach.

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