The leather sofa in the Salon converts to a queen bed should the need arrise.

This yacht will turn heads in every marina. However, she is really in her element when anchored in a quiet secluded cove

while you relax with a tall tropical drink in hand watching the ever spectacular Caribbean sunset.

Obsession boasts four equal sized but slightly different air-conditioned guest cabins, each with its own head and shower. Each stateroom has stereo, TV/VCR, ample storage and individual climate controls. Two staterooms have queen size beds, one has a queen and two singles and the fourth has twin single beds allowing Obsession to carry up to ten passengers in complete comfort.

Gracious hospitality and a desire to please is an Obsession with this crew. Everything is done so unobtrusively that it will seem easy and natural. Needless to say, the food and drinks are nothing short of spectacular.

Arno and Petra Hess + Mate/stewardess

Please accept our invitation to experience what it would be like to choose your vacation of a lifetime aboard the Motor Yacht Obsession. Set your watches to tides and the winds, instead of appointments and deadlines. Leave the traffic lights, rush hours and commuting behind. Let the view through crystal clear waters determine whether to snorkel a colorful reef, dive a wreck or fish for tuna or wahoo while cruising the pristine waters of the Caribbean.


Captain Arno Hess of Switzerland, traded his engineering career, his interest in a pro sportswear company and his hobby of motorcycle racing to pursue a life on the sea.
After his father purchased the historic classic yacht Hitauk, Arno set about restoring her to a beautiful luxury cruiser. Upon completing her restoration, and after obtaining his 400 ton Captain's License, sailed her across the Atlantic and has been happily providing countless charters aboard Hitauk for many years in the waters of the Caribbean. In July the owners of motor yacht Obsession approached him to run their yacht in charter. They were drawn to him through knowledge of his skills of Captaining many different types of vessels and to his long-term familiarity with the very beautiful waters of the Virgin Islands. Arno and his wife Petra, a highly skilled chef, accepted the position, making way for a happy blend of Captain, accomplished chef and sleek motor yacht.
Since then, Arno and Petra have fallen in love all over again, but this time with Obsession.

Chef Petra not only has a contagious laugh and engaging personality but her cooking is enticingly delicious. As a professional chef and previous owner of two restaurants in Germany, Petra's talents totally transform Obsession into an intimate and elegant floating villa. Additionally, her experience working on several mega-yachts as chef over her many years in these islands, brings to her skills a wonderful melding of creativity and flexibility.

The alliance of Arno and Petra, with their lively dispositions, ready smiles and their knowledge of and deep passion for the beauty of the sea and these tropical islands, ensures a predictable result. You will have the time of your life aboard Obsession!

A Stewardess/mate also joins the crew with charters of 4 or more guests.
