MISCHIEF Refit - How Ahoy Club Turned a 2006 Classic Into Australia’s Largest Charter Yacht
If you like your superyachts with serious pedigree and a fresh-from-the-yard feel, MISCHIEF checks every box. Originally delivered in 2006, this Baglietto icon went through a full-scale makeover led by Ahoy Club to modernize systems, refresh every guest space, and sharpen her presence on the water. The result is a big, crowd-pleasing charter platform with the polish and performance today’s guests expect.
MISCHIEF started life as a semi-displacement luxury yacht with an aluminum superstructure, then underwent an extensive refit in 2020 guided by Ahoy Club. That program wasn’t cosmetic. It rethought how guests move, relax, and entertain on board, laying the groundwork for MISCHIEF’s status as Australia’s largest charter yacht.
Design collaboration that brightens every deck
Ahoy Club partnered closely with designer Joanne de Guardiola to push light, color, and comfort to the forefront. The update brought new lighting, flooring, fabrics, and high-tech AV throughout, creating interiors that feel brighter, more cohesive, and purpose-built for fun. It is a contemporary look with the kind of easy, inviting vibe charter groups love.
Engineering and exterior work you can feel
Beneath the style is a lot of substance. The team optimized major engineering systems and added quality installations to deliver a tight, like-new ride. Outside, the decks were recaulked and sanded, the superstructure and hull were polished, and the deck Jacuzzi was painted white to keep outdoor spaces feeling airy and fresh. The combination brings back that showroom sparkle the moment you step aboard.Layout and cabin upgrades for real-life chartering
Guest comfort got a serious lift. MISCHIEF gained smarter cabin arrangements and thoughtful interior tweaks that matter on a week-long trip. Think new carpets and a refreshed master layout, twin cabins converted to doubles for more flexibility, white-painted ceiling panels to amplify natural light, refinished wall panels, and marble inlays for an upscale finish. Inside, crisp reflective whites play against deep blues and blacks, with bold artwork that sets a playful tone.Why this refit hits different
Plenty of refits swap fabrics. This one re-engineered day-to-day livability. The design work improves light and flow, the engineering push delivers reliability, and the exterior refresh ties it all together in photos and in person. It is the trifecta that keeps guests happy and crews efficient.
The momentum hasn’t stopped
Beyond the 2020 program, MISCHIEF continued to evolve, with a comprehensive refit reported complete in late 2024 under Ahoy Club’s management. That multi-million-dollar investment underscores a simple point: this yacht keeps moving with the market and guest expectations.
