GRAYONE

GRAYONE is a Sunreef catamaran whose hull is finished in dark grey, a colour that marks her out at any quay before you have stepped aboard. Her lines are long and low, and the breadth of a catamaran gives her a rare sense of room: teak decks on several levels, each with its own character, so guests can move between company and quiet as the day unfolds. Inside, the styling is contemporary and calm, with navy tones softened by warm accents and carefully chosen finishes throughout.

The cabins suit a family or a group of friends, with doubles and a twin arranged so that everyone has a comfortable retreat at the end of the day. Outside, there is a choice of places to settle. Meals are taken in the shaded cockpit at the stern, the flybridge offers the best of the view under its bimini, and forward a lounge with its own bar and wine cellar makes a natural gathering point for an evening drink as the light fades.

Life aboard turns towards the sea. At the stern, a broad platform lowers hydraulically to the waterline, so slipping in for a swim takes no effort at all. From there guests can take out the Seabob or the Flightscooter, try the wakeboard or water skis for adults and for children, ride the tube, paddle the SUP or explore with snorkel gear. Younger guests have an inflatable of their own, and there is a fishing rod for quieter hours. The Castoldi jet tender carries everyone ashore quickly, which suits the rhythm of island-hopping in Greece.

Those who like to keep moving will find yoga mats, gym equipment, weights and TRX bands for a session on deck before breakfast. On slower afternoons there is a PS5, a karaoke system, board games, a salon TV and stereo, and WiFi for staying in touch. A professional crew looks after the running of the yacht, the table and the toys, leaving guests free to enjoy what a crewed charter in Greek waters does best: a swim in a clear anchorage, lunch in the shade and an unhurried evening aboard.
