Compositeworks 30.5 m "ALLURES"

ALLURES: carbon-fibre sailing performance with four-cabin comfort

ALLURES is a 30.5-metre sailing catamaran built by Compositeworks in 2006 and refitted in 2022. Available for charter from Antibes, France, she combines full-carbon construction, a rotating carbon wing mast and a maximum sailing speed of up to 23 knots with accommodation for eight guests. Her appeal is the opportunity to enjoy a performance-focused sailing yacht without choosing a stripped-back interior or sacrificing the support of a five-person crew.

She particularly suits families and groups who want sailing to be part of the holiday rather than simply a means of reaching the next anchorage. A main-deck master suite, two convertible twin cabins and an extensive watersports inventory make her adaptable to different groups. Warm timber interiors offer a contrast to her technical construction, while air conditioning, Wi-Fi and satellite television provide familiar comforts between sailing sessions.

Design and exterior of ALLURES

ALLURES measures 30.5 metres overall, with a beam of 13.1 metres and a draft of 4.1 metres. Her twin-hull configuration and flybridge superstructure establish her broad proportions, while carbon-fibre construction places weight-conscious engineering at the centre of her design.

The defining feature above deck is a 36-metre rotating carbon wing mast. Her sail inventory includes a 250-square-metre mainsail, a 170-square-metre solent and a 350-square-metre gennaker, with 3DI sail technology among her key specifications. These substantial sail areas explain why she appeals to charterers seeking an engaging sailing experience rather than a conventional motor-yacht holiday.

Her combination of technical ambition, craftsmanship and guest comfort earned her a World Superyacht Awards nomination. For itinerary planning, her 4.1-metre draft remains an important consideration: harbour access and anchorage selection should be agreed with the captain rather than assumed from her catamaran configuration.

Accommodation and interior aboard ALLURES

ALLURES accommodates eight overnight guests in four cabins: one main-deck master suite, one double cabin and two convertible twin cabins. The bed configuration comprises two queen beds and four singles. The convertible cabins allow the sleeping arrangements to be discussed around the party, making her suitable for families, mixed groups or friends travelling together.

The main-deck position of the master suite is a notable feature for the principal charter guests. Rather than placing every guest cabin within the hulls, this arrangement gives the master a distinct location within the yacht’s overall accommodation plan.

Her interior combines mahogany, fig-tree wood and leather accents. The effect balances traditional warmth with more contemporary detailing, giving the living spaces a softer character than the carbon-fibre engineering might suggest. She underwent a refit in 2022; specific work items should be confirmed when discussing the charter.

Air conditioning, satellite television and Wi-Fi support life aboard. Five crew complement the eight-guest accommodation, allowing guests to enjoy both the sailing programme and time at anchor with professional assistance.

Performance and engineering of ALLURES

ALLURES carries two Cummins engines rated at 335 hp each. Her cruising speed is 14 knots, and she can reach up to 23 knots under sail in suitable conditions. That maximum should be understood as sailing potential, not a guaranteed passage speed: wind, sea state and the chosen route determine what is appropriate on any given day.

Fuel consumption figures are 60 litres per hour at cruising speed, 100 litres per hour at maximum operation and 30 litres per hour in economy mode. These figures provide a useful starting point for discussing fuel expenses, although actual use will depend on the balance between sailing, motoring and onboard demand.

Two Onan generators rated at 24 kW each support onboard electrical requirements. A confirmed cruising range is not specified, so passage planning and any longer-distance itinerary should be discussed directly before booking rather than calculated from consumption figures alone.

Equipment, tender and toys aboard ALLURES

Her tender and watersports inventory offers alternatives for active days and quieter exploration:

• 5.70-metre tender with a 115 hp engine.
• Three-person Kawasaki WaveRunner.
• Two paddleboards: one rigid and one inflatable.
• Two inflatable rings.
• Tiwal inflatable dinghy.
• Inflatable canoe.
• Wakeboard.
• Two water-ski sets covering mono and bi-ski use.
• Snorkelling equipment.
• Fishing equipment.
• Satellite television, Wi-Fi and air conditioning.

The tender supports shore transfers and exploring sheltered bays, while the paddleboards, canoe and snorkelling equipment suit a slower pace. Guests interested in powered watersports should discuss operating conditions, local restrictions and any experience requirements before their charter.

ALLURES charter experience

ALLURES is based in Antibes, France, making her a natural option for a French Riviera sailing charter. Her precise cruising itinerary, embarkation arrangements and availability should be agreed for the requested dates rather than treated as a fixed programme.

A week aboard could combine sailing passages with unhurried afternoons at anchor, tender excursions and watersports. The inventory allows different interests to share the same holiday: some guests may favour wakeboarding or water skiing, while others choose paddling, snorkelling or time inside. The captain’s experience on large sailing yachts and in racing is particularly relevant for guests interested in the sailing itself.

Charter pricing is available on request. A tailored quotation should confirm the rate, applicable taxes, operating expenses and any delivery or repositioning arrangements for the proposed itinerary.
