A closer look

On Board

Aft Deck Al Fresco

The aft deck presents an inviting expanse for open-air living. Beneath the awning, a polished teak table seats guests for breakfast as the morning sun warms the horizon, or for candlelit dinners under a canopy of stars. The gentle lapping of waves against the hull provides a constant, soothing soundtrack, while the sea breeze carries the scent of salt and distant shorelines. It is a space designed for connection, for unhurried conversation, and for simply being present amidst the beauty of the Aegean.

On Board

Saloon Sanctuary

Step into a saloon where plush seating and rich timber accents create an immediate sense of quietude. Natural light filters through large windows, illuminating carefully chosen artworks and soft furnishings. This is the heart of interior life, offering a cool respite from the midday sun. An integrated indoor audio system and television invite relaxed evenings, perhaps with a classic film or the soft strains of jazz, fostering an atmosphere of intimate comfort and sophisticated ease.

On Board

Foredeck Solarium

Forward, the sun pads and loungers on the foredeck beckon. Here, one can surrender to the warmth of the Mediterranean sun, a gentle spray occasionally carried by the breeze. It's a prime vantage point for observing the unfolding coastline, or for stargazing away from the glow of port lights. With ample space for several guests, this area encourages quiet contemplation or shared moments of pure relaxation, a perfect spot for afternoon reading or simply drifting into a peaceful doze.

On Board

Swim Platform Access

The swim platform offers seamless access to the refreshing embrace of the sea. Engineered for effortless entry and exit from the water, it becomes the stage for exhilarating dips and playful splashes. An outdoor shower ensures a comfortable rinse after each swim, while the proximity to the water toys makes spontaneous aquatic adventures a tempting possibility. It’s a vital connection point, blurring the lines between the yacht and the vast, inviting blue.

On Board

Bridge Deck Views

Ascend to the bridge deck, a privileged perch offering panoramic views of the surrounding seascape. This elevated position provides an unparalleled perspective, ideal for spotting hidden coves or simply tracing the distant horizon. Comfortable seating invites guests to join the captain for a moment, perhaps with a freshly brewed coffee from the onboard machine, as the yacht glides gracefully through the water, revealing new vistas at every turn.

Accommodation

Below deck, three well-appointed cabins provide peaceful sanctuaries for up to seven guests. The layout includes a master suite designed for supreme comfort, alongside further cabins configured to adapt to various group dynamics. Each space is a testament to the yacht's thoughtful refit, blending classic design elements with contemporary amenities. Soft linens, ample storage, and individual climate control ensure a restful night’s sleep, preparing guests for another day of exploration amidst the Greek islands or along the Turkish coast. The emphasis is on understated elegance and serene privacy.
