In an exclusive interview with the distinguished Captain of the award-winning 53metre Sanlorenzo superyacht SEVEN SINS, we delve into the maritime journey that led Captain Robert Chapman behind the helm of this iconic vessel, the unique features that set SEVEN SINS apart, and the exceptional experiences guests can expect to enjoy during their yacht charter getaway.
His odyssey commenced in a quaint fishing village in the Southeast of Ireland, inspired by his seafaring father. After captaining commercial fishing boats, he transitioned into the world of yachts in 2006. Over the years, his expertise grew, culminating in his appointment as the Captain of SEVEN SINS in 2019, marking a two-year milestone this October 2023.
As the recipient of the 2018 World Superyacht Award, SEVEN SINS stands out not only for her cutting-edge design and features, such as the renowned Beach Club, 8-ton pool but also for her exceptional and professional crew. Captain Chapman emphasised that while the yacht's amenities are impressive, it is the crew's dedication and teamwork that leave an indelible mark on their charter guests, bringing them back for more time and time again.
Captain Chapman highlighted the yacht's standout features, including her spacious accommodation and lounging spaces, but again the impact of her colossal glass-bottomed pool with natural light that floods into the large beach club below with drop-down balconies onto the sea, providing an unparalleled experience for all guests. Additionally, SEVEN SINS boasts a super collection of the latest water toys, constantly updated to offer guests an innovative and wildly fun adventure on the water every day. There is literally something onboard for everyone to enjoy.
The interior of SEVEN SINS is meticulously crafted to enhance the luxury experience for all guests, with spacious layouts, high-quality fixtures, and a seamless connection between decks and the sea. This yacht offers a practical yet comfortable setting, bathed in natural light from every angle, creating a constant, intangible sense of serene escape. The expansive sun deck further elevates the overall experience lifting guests up onto a pedestal of luxury.
SEVEN SINS has hosted a diverse range of guests, from those seeking relaxation to families enjoying quality time and large parties looking for a vibrant atmosphere. Captain Chapman emphasised the crew's adaptability, ensuring a tailored experience for each and every charter.
Collaboration with guests prior to the charter allows Captain Chapman to draft itineraries based on their specific preferences while also incorporating hidden gems and breath-taking locales, ensuring an unforgettable journey amidst the most picturesque anchorages and captivating backdrops. Captain Chapman stressed the importance of flexibility, with the crew remaining adaptable to changes during the charter based on the guest’s desires and prevailing weather conditions.
As the Winter Season unfolds in the Caribbean, Captain Chapman is set to celebrate the upcoming festive occasions amidst its spectacular beauty. The Caribbean's crystal-clear waters and sun-drenched beaches offer an idyllic backdrop for yacht charter. From snorkelling in Grenada's vibrant coral reefs to savouring the exquisite cuisine of Barbados and the tranquil bays of the Virgin Islands the crew is dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences in these stunning surroundings
To Captain Chapman while each charter is unique, it's the larger family charters where they truly excel, creating once-in-a-lifetime memories. These charters stand out for their vibrant energy and the joyful interactions that bridge generations. From little ones splashing in the waves to grandparents relishing in the family’s laughter, every moment is crafted for shared joy and bonding. For adult gatherings, the crew specialises in themed nights, transforming the Beach Club into an electrifying disco, ensuring every experience is not just memorable but also uniquely tailored to the family’s preferences and desires.
SEVEN SINS' acclaim for exceptional crew and service is no accident. Captain Chapman attributes this success to the crew's dedication to constant improvement, collaboration with the owner and team to generate new ideas, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
This superyacht continues to carve a legacy within the world of charter as a total charter machine, with only a couple of rare free weeks left open for next year.
