ESTIA ORION

ESTIA ORION is a Ferretti motor yacht suited to the rhythm of the Greek islands. Recently refitted, she combines an Italian yard's sure-footed handling with a brisk cruising pace that makes a crossing between islands feel like a pleasant interlude rather than a journey. That leaves more of each day for swimming, a long lunch in a quiet bay and an unhurried evening ashore. Her crew run the yacht, the galley and the water toys, so a family or a group of friends can decide each morning how the day should unfold.

Below deck, the accommodation is arranged for privacy and ease. A master suite and a VIP cabin suit couples, while twin cabins work well for children, siblings or friends happy to share, and a pullman berth adds flexibility when the party grows. Every cabin has its own bathroom, so mornings run smoothly. After hours in the sun and sea, the saloon is a comfortable place to gather, with a film on the Satellite TV or music through the Salon Stereo, and iPod/Device Hookups for anyone who prefers their own playlist.

She is especially generous with ways to enjoy the water. The SeaBob and Sea Scooter glide beneath the surface for a closer look at the seabed, and Snorkeling Equipment is ready for clear, shallow bays. For more energy there is the SeaDoo Spark Jet Ski, along with Water Ski, Monoski, Wakeboard and Kneeboard behind the Avon Tender. The Tube and Towable Sofa bring laughter to younger guests and grown-ups alike, a paddleboard suits a calm early start, and Fishing Gear waits for anyone hoping to catch something for the table.

Life on deck is relaxed and sociable. When the anchor is down and the toys are put away, the Jacuzzi is the natural place to watch the light soften over the water. The BBQ turns supper into an easy, open-air affair, and WiFi 4G keeps you connected whenever you choose to be. A crewed charter in Greek waters rewards a little spontaneity: another swim, a later dinner, a change of plan to follow the wind. ESTIA ORION is well equipped to say yes to all of it.
