The Matres, identified as model Loca, is a 71ft motor yacht designed for intimate Red Sea charters with up to 4 guests across 2 cabins. Its design prioritizes comfort and privacy, featuring a well-proportioned interior that balances livability with efficient space use. The yacht’s marina-based location in Hurghada enhances accessibility for charter clients seeking Red Sea exploration without the need for long-distance transit.
On-water performance is modest, with a focus on steady cruising rather than high speed. While exact engine specifications are unavailable, similar 71ft power yachts typically achieve 8–11 knots cruising speeds, aligning with the Matres’ likely profile. Handling is reliable in calm coastal waters, making it suitable for leisurely day trips and short overnight charters, though it lacks the range or speed for extended expedition use.
Comfort and livability are strong, with the 2-cabin layout ensuring privacy for all guests. The interior is designed for relaxed stays, with ample natural light and functional amenities. Value reflects the yacht’s charter-focused positioning: it offers a cost-effective experience for small groups exploring the Red Sea, though it holds little resale appeal compared to newer or more versatile models. Overall, the Matres excels as a dedicated charter vessel for intimate, comfort-driven voyages in the Red Sea.
