A closer look
The Sundeck Sanctuary
Ascend to the sundeck, where the Mediterranean breeze provides a constant, refreshing caress. Here, cushioned sun-pads invite languid afternoons spent beneath the warm sun, interspersed with dips in the turquoise sea. An outdoor shower, conveniently positioned, offers a quick rinse after a refreshing swim, leaving skin invigorated. This elevated haven is perfect for absorbing panoramic vistas, a book in hand, or simply drifting into a peaceful reverie as the coastline glides by.
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The aft deck presents a welcoming tableau for open-air dining, shaded from the midday sun by the deck above. A substantial table, polished to a soft sheen, becomes the focal point for convivial meals, from leisurely breakfasts to twilight dinners. The gentle lapping of waves against the hull provides an ambient soundtrack, enhancing the culinary experience. This space seamlessly blends the yacht’s refined interiors with the boundless beauty of the surrounding seascape, fostering an atmosphere of relaxed elegance.
Saloon's Serene Comfort
Step into the main saloon, a cool and inviting retreat from the midday heat, thanks to efficient air conditioning. Plush seating arrangements in muted tones invite guests to unwind, perhaps enjoying a film on the integrated TV or engaging in lively conversation. Large windows frame the ever-changing maritime scenery, ensuring a continuous connection with the outside world. The indoor audio system provides a subtle backdrop of music, tailoring the atmosphere to every mood, from lively gatherings to quiet introspection.
Swim Platform's Embrace
The swim platform extends an irresistible invitation to the water. This wide, stable expanse acts as a private beach club, making entry into the refreshing sea effortless. From here, guests can easily launch paddleboards or simply dangle their feet in the crystalline waters. It’s a focal point for aquatic adventures and a convenient gateway for tenders, ensuring seamless transitions between the yacht and shore excursions, or simply for enjoying a refreshing dip.
BBQ & Bar Delight
Adjacent to the main dining areas, a well-appointed BBQ station promises delectable grilled creations. The scent of sizzling seafood or perfectly charred vegetables wafts through the air, tantalising the senses. This convivial corner becomes a hub for informal gatherings, where guests can watch the chef at work, perhaps with a chilled drink in hand from the nearby bar. It’s an essential element for memorable evenings under the stars, fostering a relaxed, holiday atmosphere.
Accommodation
GELIDONYA offers six comfortable cabins, providing a restful sanctuary for up to twelve guests. Each cabin is designed for peace and privacy, featuring thoughtful touches and ample storage. The layout ensures a harmonious balance, with a variety of double and twin configurations to suit diverse groups. The master suite, positioned for optimal comfort, provides a spacious haven with its own en-suite facilities, promising undisturbed slumber after a day of Mediterranean exploration. Fine linens and tasteful decor contribute to a serene environment, ensuring every guest feels perfectly at home.
Culinary experiences aboard GELIDONYA are a celebration of the Mediterranean's bounty. The onboard chef crafts bespoke menus, utilising the freshest local ingredients sourced from each port of call. Imagine succulent grilled seafood prepared on the BBQ, accompanied by vibrant salads and regional specialities. Meals can be enjoyed al fresco on the spacious aft deck, bathed in the soft glow of twilight, or in the air-conditioned comfort of the main saloon, offering a refined yet relaxed atmosphere for every occasion. Dietary preferences are meticulously catered to, ensuring every dish is a delight.
While GELIDONYA focuses on the pure joy of cruising, a sense of well-being is intrinsically woven into the experience. The expansive sundeck provides ample space for personal yoga or meditation sessions as the sun rises over the horizon. The invigorating sea air and the rhythmic motion of the yacht offer a natural restorative quality. Guests can refresh under the outdoor shower after a swim, feeling the sea salt wash away, leaving a feeling of revitalisation and calm.
The azure waters of the West Mediterranean are an invitation to play, and GELIDONYA obliges with a selection of engaging water toys. Paddleboards allow for serene exploration of hidden coves and tranquil bays, offering a gentle workout and a unique perspective of the coastline. For onshore fun, beach games provide entertainment for all ages, fostering laughter and friendly competition on secluded sandy shores. The generous swim platform ensures effortless access to all aquatic adventures, making every dip and foray into the sea a pleasure.

What a yacht like GELIDONYA costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on GELIDONYA is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 26m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
