A closer look
Aft Deck Al Fresco
The aft deck offers a compelling invitation to linger over morning coffees or evening aperitifs. A generously proportioned dining table, crafted from polished teak, anchors the space, surrounded by plush upholstered seating. Overhead, the soft glow of integrated lighting sets a serene mood as the sun dips below the horizon. The gentle rhythm of the sea provides a constant, calming soundtrack, enhancing moments of shared conversation and quiet contemplation.
Saloon's Luminous Comfort
Within the main saloon, expansive windows frame the ever-changing seascape, bathing the interior in natural light. Rich, tactile fabrics adorn the comfortable seating, inviting moments of relaxation with a book or engaging conversation. The subtle gleam of brushed metals and polished wood surfaces speaks to a meticulous attention to detail, creating an atmosphere of contemporary sophistication that feels both welcoming and exclusive.
Flybridge Vista Lounge
Ascend to the flybridge and discover an elevated realm of leisure. Here, panoramic views unfold in every direction, providing an unparalleled perspective of the surrounding coastline. Comfortable sun loungers beckon for hours spent basking in the Mediterranean warmth, while a shaded seating area offers a cool retreat for midday refreshments. It’s a space designed for uninterrupted enjoyment of the open air and the vastness of the sea.
Foredeck Breeze & Sun
The foredeck presents an alluring alternative for sun worshippers and those seeking a refreshing sea breeze. Expansive sun pads invite leisurely afternoons spent soaking up the sun's rays, perhaps with a chilled drink in hand. This private enclave offers a sense of seclusion, a perfect spot to watch the world drift by or to simply revel in the sensation of wind and spray on your skin as the yacht cuts through the waves.
Galley's Culinary Hub
At the heart of the yacht's gastronomic experience lies the galley. Though unseen by guests, this impeccably appointed space hums with quiet efficiency. Equipped with professional-grade appliances and ample preparation surfaces, it is where the yacht's chef transforms fresh, local ingredients into delectable culinary creations, ensuring each meal is a delightful exploration of Mediterranean flavours, tailored to individual preferences.
Accommodation
Four beautifully appointed cabins provide a private sanctuary for eight guests. The master suite, positioned for optimal comfort and privacy, offers a king-sized berth, generous storage, and an en-suite bathroom finished with exquisite materials. Guest cabins maintain the same high standards of comfort and design, each featuring thoughtful amenities and serene décor. The layout ensures a sense of individual space and quietude, allowing everyone to retreat and recharge after a day of sun-drenched adventures along the coast.
The culinary journey aboard is a celebration of fresh, local ingredients, expertly prepared by the yacht's dedicated chef. Meals are tailored to your preferences, from light, vibrant lunches served al fresco on the aft deck, to more formal dinners enjoyed in the elegant main saloon. Imagine freshly caught seafood, succulent Mediterranean vegetables, and perfectly paired wines, all enjoyed against a backdrop of breathtaking coastal scenery. Each meal is an occasion, crafted to delight the palate and enhance the charter experience.
While a dedicated spa or gym is not featured, the yacht inherently offers a profound sense of wellbeing. The constant presence of the sea, the fresh air, and the gentle motion of the waves provide a natural, restorative environment. With full air conditioning throughout, comfort is assured in every climate. Guests can find tranquility on the sun-drenched decks or in the cool, serene interiors, inviting a deep sense of relaxation and rejuvenation.
The yacht comes equipped with a selection of water toys to enhance your time on the azure waters. A robust tender ensures seamless transfers to secluded coves and charming coastal villages, allowing for spontaneous explorations.

What a yacht like SEMELA costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on SEMELA is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 23m 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.
