MAMMA MIA

MAMMA MIA is a Maiora motor yacht, refitted recently and kept in very fine order. Below deck the mood is quiet and modern, with bespoke finishes that favour restraint over show. The cabins are arranged for a family or a group of friends who want comfortable space of their own: each is ensuite, each has its own entertainment system, and the Master Suite sits on the lower deck. A spacious VIP cabin on the main deck takes in natural light, which suits a guest who prefers to wake to daylight.

Life aboard tends to move outdoors. The expansive sundeck is where most days settle: a wet bar within easy reach, generous sunbathing areas, and a table for dining in the open air, with the coast passing slowly beyond the rail. Zero speed stabilizers soften the motion both at anchor and under way, so lunch stays calm and an afternoon rest is undisturbed. It is the kind of steadiness you notice only when it is absent from other boats.

Greece is where she cruises, and her crew will know the rhythm of island-hopping well: a morning departure, a quiet anchorage for a swim, a taverna ashore in the evening if the mood takes you. The Axopar 37 chase boat, with its own dedicated driver, lets guests reach small coves and landings without disturbing the yacht's pace. A professional crew looks after the table, the cabins and the days, leaving you free of every practical concern.

The water toys give each day a different character. There is a Seabob F5 and a Flitescooter Oyster Efoil for those who like speed and novelty, a Jetsurf Awake Ravik Explore, Seadoo Spark Jet skis, and a Zodiac Yachtline tender. Waterskis, a wakeboard and a monoski are aboard for adults, with a Jobe stand up paddle board, towable tubes, a towable sofa and snorkelling equipment for a gentler hour in clear water.
