With her sporty and attractive style, KUDOS is an eye-catching charter yacht, ideal for fun family getaways on the French Riviera. Her 2021 refit has seen her emerge in sparkling form, ready for the season ahead.
Built by Sunseeker in 2014, KUDOS is a 28m flybridge yacht featuring sleek exterior design and naval architecture from this renowned yard. With a GRP hull and superstructure she delivers superb speed and great efficiency thanks to her planning hull.

Extensively refitted during 2021, KUDOS is presented in immaculate condition, displaying a vast inventory of excellent additions. From all new decks, upholstery, carpets and bathrooms through to furniture, audio visual equipment and a total engine overhaul, the list is really comprehensive. Her interior design throughout presents a contemporary blend of subtle ecrus, creams and whites that deliver a chic and relaxing atmosphere, seamlessly framed by beautiful gloss cherry wood. With multiple mood zones to kick back and relax whilst on charter, the clever use of space combined with integrated systems and luxurious features mean KUDOS is a real crowd-pleaser. The incredibly stylish main salon is complete with modern dining area, from which opens a fabulous amidships balcony offers sweeping views. Outside, the shaded aft deck delivers a leisurely spot to while away the hours on the comfortable sofa seating.
Boasting generous deck spaces, KUDOS has plenty of spots to soak up panoramic views, relish sunsets and dine together under the stars. The fabulous sun deck with retractable awning presents a shaded dining area, BBQ and lounging zone, and benefits from a brand new jacuzzi and sunbathing area recently installed. This is a superbly adaptable place for families to relax, with options for shade or sun as required, ensuring that multi-generational groups are catered for. Forward on the main deck is a wonderful private hub to watch the world go by, complete with comfy sofas, table seating and extensive sunpads.
Versatile accommodation is for up to 8 guests in 4 staterooms. The generously sized master and VIP staterooms are complete with king size bed and walk-in wardrobe. The additional two guest staterooms comprise of one twin and one double. All have en suite bathrooms.
Fun in the sun would not be complete without an array of watertoys and KUDOS delivers in abundance. To complement the Williams Superjet 445 tender, a selection of exciting new items includes waterski sets, Seabobs, paddleboards, wakeboard and inflatable tows. Entertainment and opportunities for activities on board KUDOS are always available, under the watchful eye of her professional crew.
Highly experienced, Captain Arthur Jurg brings a great deal of knowledge and enthusiasm to the yacht. A family man with a big personality, he is looking forward to the upcoming charter season with gusto. “KUDOS provides a fabulous combination of amenities – an amazing crew, fun water toys plus excellent outside deck space” he says, “My favourite is the bow area, which is a great spot to hang out at anchor or underway. Guests can enjoy listening to music there with the new Sonos sound system which has been installed throughout the yacht” He continues,” And now, after seven months of extensive work on the yacht, she really is absolutely brand new. There is a crisp modern feel with virtually everything replaced besides the woodwork”.
Discussing his preferred cruising locations, he enthuses, “I love cruising around Corsica where there are great beaches on the west side of the island. The anchorage in Girolata is beautiful and we can moor on the buoys, swim to shore or enjoy playing with the water toys in the bay. Bonifacio is my favourite port here, but Portofino and St Tropez also deliver a fantastic atmosphere that guests always enjoy”. Revealing his thoughts on what makes a successful charter, Captain Arthur is quick to respond, “Great weather plays a part, but most important is a good vibe on board between the crew and guests, plus an itinerary that has been worked out together. A sign of a good charter is that guests return the following year, and we know we have made new friends!”.
Cruising the Western Mediterranean this summer will certainly be a memorable experience on KUDOS, where service, fun and luxury blend into a truly sensational experience on the water.
