About BATON ROUGE

View all yachts for charter

Boasting more volume across her six decks than any other 62.5m yacht, BATON ROUGE's Tim Heywood profile is as iconic as her sublime RWD interior. Designed with a super-stylish beach house theme, the guest areas have a cool, comfortable vibe that perfectly suits both relaxation and entertaining.

Start the day with an energising workout in the gym, or swim against jets in the bridge deck pool to work up an appetite. Or if you prefer a more relaxed morning, have a coffee and a long, leisurely breakfast on the bridge deck aft, then stretch out on the sun pads that flank the pool.

Guests will gravitate to the sun deck where there is more than enough sunbathing space for 12 people to unwind, be it on the gigantic circular sun pad forwards, or the peaceful sun loungers aft. Enjoy a relaxed, gourmet lunch in the shade of the superstructure, then retire to the fresh, bright upper deck lounge with its ingenious bespoke games table, or enjoy the views and the silence in the panoramic observation lounge.

As the sun drops and the heat subsides, burn off some energy on the water with BATON ROUGE's huge selection of watertoys. Take a break in the large, luxurious beach club or grab a snorkel and plunge off the swim platform for a more sedate encounter with the sea.

As evening draws in the sophisticated main lounge is the perfect place for cocktails, and the chef will create an exquisite fine dining experience either al fresco or in the formal dining room on the main deck. At night head up to the sun deck which has a cool club atmosphere with its own light show and disco, or take a cognac to the observation lounge and enjoy the library.

As you would expect from a luxury superyacht, BATON ROUGE has impeccable accommodation for 12 guests in seven en suite cabins, spread across three decks. The vast, 100sqm master suite is forward on the main deck and comprises of two private offices, a dressing room and separate vanity, and a huge bathroom with frosted glass rainfall shower and blue marble bath. Two VIP suites are located on the upper deck and four further double cabins are on the lower deck, two of which convert to twins.

Chief Engineer dies on board

A crowdfunding page has been launched to offer support to the family of roy temme, who tragically lost his life this week following an incident on board….

A British crew member, Chief Engineer Roy Temme, has tragically passed away while aboard the  Baton Rouge  whilst docked in Antigua. 

On Thursday 22 February 20:58 local time Baton Rouge  experienced a blackout and functionality was restored immediately. A damper was identified to be no longer working and maintenance was scheduled for the following day.

At 07:30 local time, Temme,  a 47-year-old father of two from Southampton, UK, entered the technical space to fix the damper. He was found unresponsive shortly thereafter by a colleague who had noticed his absence. Medics were immediately called at 08:30 local time and performed CPR. Temme was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.

Burgess , the yacht's management firm, issued a statement confirming that the next of kin have been informed, and it is cooperating with authorities to ascertain further details.

An investigation into the incident is still ongoing.

A crowdfunding page has been launched by Oliver Boghurst, a friend of Temme, aiming to alleviate financial burdens for his wife, Natasha. These contributions will provide her with some peace of mind, allowing her to focus on the well-being of their children without the additional worry of financial strain in the coming months.

Our deepest sympathies and respects go to the family and friends of Roy Temme.

Inside super yacht where Brit crewman died in Caribbean as UK inspectors drafted in

Super yacht Baton Rouge is described as a 'floating mansion', costing £395,220 for a week on board - but the vessel was struck by tragedy last week when Chief Engineer Roy Temme was killed

• 12:20, 28 Feb 2024
• Updated 15:08, 28 Feb 2024

UK inspectors have been flown out to the Caribbean after a British crewman was killed on board a luxury super yacht - with the vessel's management firm also speaking out.

Roy Temme was found unresponsive by a colleague on Baton Rouge - described as a "floating mansion" - while it was docked in Antigua on Friday (February 23), before later being pronounced dead in hospital. The 47-year-old dad-of-two, from Southampton, served as the Chief Engineer on the 205ft Isle of Man registered yacht and had reportedly ventured into the engine area during a power outage where he was electrocuted.

Police and paramedics were called to the scene at 8.30am local time. Further investigations are continuing into the tragedy, the port authority has confirmed. The Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) has told the Mirror it has shipped out a team of inspectors to "gather evidence and examine the vessel".

Have you been affected by this incident? Did you know Roy Temme? Let us know at [email protected]

Burgess, the yacht's management firm, has released a statement confirming that the “next of kin has been notified and we are working with the authorities to ascertain further details. Burgess is providing guidance and counsel to the crew on board Baton Rouge and we ask at this time that you respect their privacy. Our deepest thoughts go out to family, friends, and colleagues.”

It is understood the yacht had been in the harbour since the end of last month. Mr Temme is listed as the former director of RT Maritime Ltd. A crowdfunding page has been launched by friend Oliver Boghurst. Mr Boghurst said: "Your donation will help to provide Natasha with some peace-of-mind at this time, allowing her to focus on the children's welfare, rather than worrying about how she is going to pay the bills over the next few months."

The Baton Rouge was launched in 2010. It is Lloyd's registered. It sails at 14.5 knots (16.6 mph/26.8 kph), powered by its twin MTU engines. According to a 2022 article in Auto Evolution , it "blends sophisticated features with modern amenities". Designed by Tim Heywood, it also "flaunts a beach-house-inspired interior, created by RWD", the article adds.

"More like a beach mansion – the master suite unfolds over 1,076 square feet (100 square meters) including not just one, but two private offices and a lavish bathroom with blue marble and a frosted glass shower cabin. The other suites can sleep ten more guests. The sun deck is everyone’s favorite place during the day, with huge circular sun pads forward and discrete sun loungers aft."

In the evenings, guests can enjoy a "clubbing atmosphere on the sun deck" which "transforms into a party space" - or opt for "sipping cognac in the observation lounge and relaxing in the library". One week onboard the "floating mansion" costs $500,000 (£395,220) in high season, according to a Burgess Yachts listing.

A spokesman for the Royal Antigua Police Force said: "A UK national was helped to the main deck, while the Antigua and Barbuda Search and Rescue-ABSAR was called to the scene. He was transported to the hospital where a doctor pronounced him dead around 10:19 am."

A local Port official said officers were called to reports "of concern for the welfare of a man on board a boat in English Harbour". They went on to say: "Immediate action was needed after establishing that he didn't look well. The paramedics arrived and did their best but sadly he died. He was in his 40s."

A spokesperson for the MAIB said: "The Marine Accident Investigation Branch has been notified of an accident involving the Isle of Man registered large yacht Baton Rouge. Acting on behalf of the Isle of Man registry, the MAIB has sent a team of inspectors to Antigua to gather evidence and examine the vessel."

After an extended tour of the Baton Rouge Motor yacht by the owners with designers Tim Heywood, Justin Redman and the Burgess project team, the yacht received her blessing by the local priest.  With a personal thank you to all involved, the owner’s wife cut the ribbon and as is tradition a bottle of Moët & Chandon champagne provided the appropriate ‘splash’!

Icon would like to extend a personal thank you to the team at Burgess for their excellent cooperation & support during the build of this magnificent yacht.  The imminent completion of  M/Y Baton Rouge follows the success of the first 62m build, M/Y Icon delivered in January of this year.
