MIA ZOI

MIA ZOI is a motor yacht from the Dutch yard Vitters, brought up to date in a recent refit. She suits a family or a group of friends who want a private base with room to spread out, and the sense of being looked after without ceremony. The accommodation is arranged around a master and a VIP cabin, with additional twin cabins that can be made up as doubles, so the layout adapts to the party aboard.

The crew are a particular strength. Their long service on board shows in the unhurried way a day is organised, from the first coffee to the last drink on deck. You decide how full or how quiet each day should be, and the team shapes it around you, whether that means a long lunch in the shade or an early swim before the anchor comes up.

Her cruising areas include Greece, and a crewed charter here is well suited to island-hopping: moving between anchorages, dropping the hook in a sheltered bay, and going ashore by tender when the mood takes you. Zero-speed stabilizers keep her steady at rest as well as underway, which matters when you are eating on deck or simply reading in the sun.

The water toys are extensive and well chosen. There are Jetskis, including a Sea-Doo Spark, as well as a Seabob, a Fliteboard and stand-up paddleboards. Wakeboards and water skis come in versions for adults and for children, and the inflatables, from the donuts and banana to the lounge and the Nautibuoy pontoon, keep younger guests busy. A Brig tender with a Yamaha outboard handles trips to shore.
