A Yacht of Distinction, Now Reimagined
Before becoming Tilia, this remarkable vessel sailed the world as the celebrated yacht Yanika. In her early years, she was more than just a yacht – she was a stage for elegance, exclusivity, and fame. Her guest list reads like a page from the golden era of fashion and society: Donald Trump, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, and many others found sanctuary aboard her decks.
At the time, she symbolized the very essence of luxury cruising – where style met sophistication at sea. Her name became associated with Fashion Café, with international press covering her glamorous events and voyages. Few yachts today can claim such a rich and storied past – one that effortlessly weaves together the worlds of high fashion, celebrity culture, and seafaring tradition.
Modern Transformation
Between 2019 and 2022, Tilia underwent a comprehensive refit, breathing new life into her classic lines while ensuring every modern comfort. She now exudes the timeless allure of early 20th-century design, with an appearance that evokes the glamour and sophistication of Europe's great leisure era.
Unique Botel Experience
For the next season, Tilia will be offered as an exclusive botel, permanently moored in Porto Corallo. This unique offering allows guests to experience the world of yachting at a fraction of the price of private charter.
Imagine waking up on the deck of a historic yacht, sipping espresso while the morning sun illuminates the Sardinian coastline. A short walk brings you to two contrasting beaches: soft sandy stretches perfect for long swims and fine gravel shores that speak to the raw authenticity of the Mediterranean. By evening, retreat to your private cabin, where polished interiors echo a bygone era of fashion and elegance.
"Staying aboard Tilia is not simply accommodation – it is immersion in an exclusive lifestyle once reserved for icons of glamour and society."
While Tilia is now opening her gangways as a botel, her journey is far from complete. She is preparing to return to sea, with her full relaunch as a private charter yacht planned for 2027. Guests who experience her now will be among the first to witness this transition – a rare chance to step into a story that is still being written.
