LAKOUPETI

Lakoupeti is a Pershing, a name associated with sleek lines and a confident turn of speed, and she carries both qualities with ease. She has the character of an established sports yacht, with a refit behind her. For guests, that means a boat that looks purposeful at the dock and feels composed once under way.

She is a motor yacht, and that shapes the way a charter on her unfolds. With real pace at hand, the distance between one island and the next can be covered quickly, leaving more of the day for swimming, a long lunch at anchor or a slow walk through a harbour town. Time is spent at the places you chose to visit rather than on the passage between them.

Below deck, she is arranged as a compact, comfortable base for a small party. The accommodation suits a family, a pair of couples or a group of friends who value ease and privacy over sheer scale. A crew travels with the yacht, looking after handling, navigation and the daily running of the boat, so guests need only settle in and decide how the day should go.

Her cruising grounds are in Greece, where a yacht of this kind is entirely at home. Island-hopping suits her well: short, quick hops between harbours, then quiet anchorages for a swim off the stern before evening. Your broker will help shape an itinerary around the pace and the company you have in mind.
