NATASSA

NATASSA is a motor yacht made for the way Greece is best explored, one island and one bay at a time. She is quick on open water, so a passage that might fill a morning on a slower boat becomes a short, comfortable run. That leaves the hours of the day for swimming, lunch at anchor and wandering ashore. Recently refitted, she is well suited to a family or a group of friends who want to keep moving yet never feel hurried.

The water is where much of the day happens. A Seabob draws you gently beneath the surface for a look at the seabed, while the Jet Ski, water skis and tube suit those who like their mornings livelier. A paddleboard offers a quieter way to trace the shoreline, and snorkelling equipment is aboard for exploring clear coves. For anyone with patience, a fishing rod lets the evening drift by off the stern while the light softens.

Her Novurania tender carries guests ashore to a harbour taverna, a village square or a beach reachable only from the sea, and brings them back when they are ready. Between swims, the Jacuzzi is a pleasant place to sit with a cold drink and watch the coastline go by. When the anchor goes down for the evening, the BBQ is lit and dinner can be taken outside in the warm air, as unhurried as anyone would like.

Indoors, Smart TVs and the salon stereo provide easy comfort for a quiet evening or a lazy hour out of the sun, and WiFi keeps guests in touch when they choose to be. Above all, a crewed charter on board means the practical details are handled for you: the passage planned, the toys prepared and the tender ready. What remains is the simple pleasure of Greek waters, one anchorage giving way to the next.
