Perini Navi’s 64m Spirit of the C’s available for charter

Spirit of the C’s, a 64-metre sailing yacht designed and built by Perini Navi, is available for charter through Camper & Nicholsons, with dates open for Thanksgiving and beyond. The vessel accommodates twelve guests across five cabins and carries a crew of thirteen. The yacht’s distinguishing features—a crow’s nest positioned 40 metres above the waterline, a flybridge jacuzzi, and generous deck space configured across the full length of the hull—are built on Perini Navi’s engineering approach to blending scale with manoeuvrability under sail.

Perini Navi, founded in 1983 in Ancona, Italy, has built sailing yachts ranging from 30 to 70 metres by specialising in composite construction and rig design that allow large vessels to move efficiently without relying on engine power alone. The yard’s method—documented in build photography and owner records—uses advanced computer modelling to proportion hull form, keel and rig as an integrated system. This technical approach distinguishes Perini Navi’s yachts from motor-yacht conversions or traditionally built sailing vessels. Spirit of the C’s reflects this: the crow’s nest functions as both observation platform and a working part of the sail plan monitoring system, while the deck layout distributes weight to maintain the yacht’s sailing angle and speed through changes in crew position and movement.

The five cabins include a full-beam owner’s suite, three guest cabins with en-suite facilities, and a fifth cabin for additional flexibility. The flybridge jacuzzi is fed by freshwater systems integrated into the yacht’s 150-tonne water and fuel capacity, allowing extended cruising without port calls. The main salon and dining areas open to the aft deck through folding bulkheads, a feature that enlarges the perceived interior volume and allows natural ventilation—a practical choice in warm-weather cruising rather than a stylistic one.

Charter rates, specific itineraries and availability windows are negotiated directly with Camper & Nicholsons, the Monaco-based brokerage representing the vessel. The brokerage supplies crew briefing on regional anchorages, weather routing and provisioning protocols particular to the yacht’s capabilities and the guests’ preferences. For Thanksgiving charter specifically, dates are noted as available, though confirmation requires direct contact with the broker to align schedule with the vessel’s calendar and positioning requirements.

Thanksgiving at sea means the meal happens against a changing backdrop. The kitchen crew works with fresh provisions sourced in ports along the route, adapting menus to what the day brings. Dinner might be taken on deck as the light softens, or below in the main salon as weather turns. The formality of the holiday remains, but it is a formality shaped by where you are and what surrounds you, rather than by tradition alone.

For those seeking to charter Spirit of the C’s over Thanksgiving, dates remain available through Camper & Nicholsons, the charter broker representing the yacht. The experience encompasses not only the vessel and its design, but the crew’s knowledge of routes, anchorages and the practicalities of moving a 64-metre yacht with intention and care. The cost and specific itinerary are set through consultation with the brokerage, as each charter shapes itself around the preferences of those aboard.

The decision to gather at sea over Thanksgiving shifts what the holiday means. It removes the familiar and replaces it with something more considered. It puts family and friends in a space designed for both comfort and the open air, where the day’s rhythm follows light and wind rather than a fixed schedule. Spirit of the C’s, with its crow’s nest and its jacuzzi, its generous decks and its five private cabins, is built for exactly this: the holiday reimagined as a voyage.
