If you have never chartered a superyacht before, it can be hard to picture what you are actually paying for. Here is what a charter on IMPULSIVE looks like, from the yacht itself to how a typical day runs.
The yacht
IMPULSIVE is a 40.2 metre motor yacht built in Italy by Mondomarine in 2007 and refitted in 2025. She sleeps ten guests in five cabins: a master suite with its own dressing room, two VIP doubles and two twins, all with ensuites. For day charters and events she is certified for up to 80 guests.
Up top there is a large jacuzzi, a bar and plenty of sun deck. Inside, the saloon and dining room open out through a curved glass entrance, so you can see the water from almost everywhere. Starlink and 5G run throughout, which matters more than people expect if someone in the group needs to check in with work.
The crew
Eight crew look after ten guests: the Captain, an executive chef, and a deck and interior team. That ratio is the real difference between a superyacht and a hire boat. Someone sets up the water toys before you ask, someone else is already thinking about lunch, and the Captain is picking the anchorage based on the wind that afternoon.
Where she goes
IMPULSIVE is based in the Whitsundays from October to June, with a Brisbane season in February. From July to September she crosses the Coral Sea to Fiji for the Mamanuca and Yasawa Islands. The rest of the east coast, from Cairns down to Sydney, is available on request.
See the Whitsundays, Brisbane and Fiji pages for more on each.

A typical day
Most days start slowly: breakfast on deck, a swim off the back of the boat. Mid-morning the yacht moves to the next anchorage, which in the Whitsundays is usually an hour or two away at most. Lunch is wherever you end up. Afternoons are for the water toys: the jetski, eFoils, paddleboards, the waterslide and the sea pool. Dinner is planned around what you like, and the chef will have asked about that well before you arrive.
What it costs
For the 2026/27 season, IMPULSIVE is AUD $175,000 per week or $28,000 per night, including GST, plus an APA to cover food, drinks and running costs. Day charters start from $16,000 for four hours.
