Madigale is a classic 1988 58-foot Vantare motor yacht — a beautifully proportioned vessel built in an era when yachts were crafted with genuine character, quality materials, and timeless elegance.
Below deck, Madigale features three private staterooms each with their own en-suite head, offering comfort and privacy for overnight guests or multi-group events. The open salon flows naturally into a formal dining area seating six — perfect for an intimate dinner, a working meeting, or a celebratory gathering. The professional-grade sidebar is ready for entertaining, while the full-sized galley is equipped for catering, cooking together as a group, or simply brewing a perfect cup of tea or coffee to start the morning right.
Topside, a spacious open deck with a six-person couch invites guests to relax, socialize, and soak in the waterfront atmosphere. Thoughtful lighting and a stereo system throughout the vessel set the mood for any occasion — whether you're unwinding after a long week, celebrating a milestone, or hosting something truly memorable.
Madigale is moored at Tidewater Yacht Marina in the heart of historic Olde Towne Portsmouth, right at the iconic Mile Marker 0 of the Intracoastal Waterway on the Elizabeth River — the gateway to the Chesapeake Bay and Hampton Roads. Enjoy stunning waterfront views of beautiful downtown Norfolk and the Waterside Marina just across the river, with all the charm and history of one of Virginia's most beloved waterfront communities just steps away.
More Than a Boat — A Space for What Matters
Madigale was made for slowing down. Sunrise yoga on the open deck. A guided meditation with the gentle rhythm of the water beneath you. A wellness retreat for a small group seeking restoration away from the noise of everyday life. The river setting and intimate scale make Madigale a natural fit for mindfulness, breathwork, sound healing, holistic coaching, and small-group wellness experiences. Cool Change Yacht Retreats LLC is focused on offering on-the-water experiences to more of the health, wellness, and mindfulness audiences - something that is unique, moving, and new to the area.
We're equally proud to welcome veterans and military families, fellow service members, and the broader community for retreats, gatherings, peer support sessions, and quiet days on the water. As a veteran-owned business based in a community deeply rooted in military heritage, supporting veteran wellness and community outreach is part of our why.
Filmmakers, photographers, and creatives will find Madigale an extraordinary location — vintage character, golden-hour light off the Elizabeth River, the Norfolk skyline as a backdrop, and richly detailed interior spaces that translate beautifully on camera. Whether you're shooting a music video, a fashion editorial, a brand campaign, a podcast, or an independent film,
Madigale offers a one-of-a-kind setting that's hard to find anywhere else in Hampton Roads.
Madigale is equally at home as an intimate gathering space, a private event venue, a unique meeting location, a creative production location, a wellness retreat, or an overnight stay on the water.
