IDYLLE

IDYLLE is a recently refitted Benetti motor yacht, and she suits a family or a group of friends who want room to spread out. The cabins are arranged to give each party its own space, and the principal suite sits on the same level as the saloon, so whoever has it can step out onto the deck without climbing a stair. She is a yacht for slow, comfortable days rather than hurried ones.

Life aboard is lived largely outdoors. The exterior decks are spacious, with a Jacuzzi among them, and there is room to sit, read or share a long lunch while the coastline slides past. Stabilizers work underway, which steadies the ride between anchorages. Her cruising areas are Greece and Turkey, and in Greek waters the natural rhythm is island-hopping: a swim before breakfast, a quiet anchorage for lunch, a harbour in the evening.

The water toys are extensive and well considered. Jetskis, a Seabob, stand-up paddle boards and an inflatable SUP sit alongside waterskis, a wakeboard, a towable and a Jobe Lunar Sofa for a group of three. The Jobe Infinity Island extends the swimming platform into a floating lounge. For quieter moments there is snorkelling equipment and a fishing rod, and loungers, chairs and an umbrella can be set up for an afternoon on the beach.

A Zodiac tender and a Sea-Doo carry guests ashore, whether to a waterfront taverna or a cove reachable only by water. A full crew looks after the yacht and her guests throughout, so the practical side of the day is handled quietly in the background. We can talk you through how IDYLLE would work for your party and the kind of cruising you have in mind.
