SEMPER LUX

TWIN FLAME 77 won Best Yacht Overall at the 2019 BVI Annual Charter Yacht Show, and she still cruises out of Tortola year-round. She is a 23-metre Lagoon Seventy 7 from 2019, with naval architecture by VPLP, exterior lines by Patrick le Quément, and an interior signed Nauta Design under Massimo Gino. The result is a fast, easy-handling cruising catamaran with a layout drawn around how people actually use a charter yacht.

The flybridge is the social heart of the boat, running almost the full beam with 360-degree views, a wet bar, and lounging for the full guest count. Two cockpits, aft and forward, frame the salon and open it through full-height glass on both sides, so the main deck breathes from end to end. Eight guests sleep in four en-suite cabins: a master plus three further queens, with one cabin convertible to twins for a family booking.

A full PADI dive programme runs onboard, with Discovery Scuba sessions for new divers and proper courses for guests who want certification. The toy inventory covers the full BVI brief: two Seabobs, two e-foils, four paddleboards, two wakeboards, adult and children's water skis, floating mats, and fishing gear. The dinghy shuttles guests ashore for beach drops in Jost Van Dyke and Anegada, and the rest of the BVI sits within easy day-sail range. Four crew run the boat, and the 2019 award still describes the programme she sails on today.
