NINO

NINO is a motor yacht from Cantieri Di Pisa, one of the rare Akhir 41 models and a considered choice for guests who prefer privacy and quiet comfort to show. She has recently been refitted inside and out, with a revised layout, and the intention throughout is a calm, easy way of living on the water. In Greek waters she suits a charter that moves at the guests' own pace, with anchorages chosen by mood and weather rather than by timetable.

The accommodation is arranged for a family or a group of friends who want room to spread out. The full-beam master suite sits aft on the lower deck, with a desk area for working quietly and a bathroom of its own, a good retreat for whoever is leading the party. Alongside it on the lower deck are a pair of VIP doubles, while the twin cabins with Pullman berths are split between the lower deck and the level above. Every cabin has its own bathroom, and large windows bring daylight into the saloon, where the finish is soft, modern and unfussy.

Most of the day is spent outdoors. The sundeck is set up for lounging and for evening drinks, while the aft deck is the natural place for a long lunch or dinner as the light fades over the water. A generous swim platform makes getting in and out of the sea easy. Stabilisers work both underway and at rest, so an anchorage stays comfortable for sleeping and for eating at table.

For time on the water, NINO carries a Seabob, a Kawasaki wave runner, water skis, a wakeboard, towable toys, paddle boards, a canoe and fishing gear, with a Williams sport jet tender for going ashore. A professional crew looks after the guests quietly and attentively, and the onboard chef cooks to each guest's preferences. Island-hopping through the Aegean and Ionian suits her well, with swimming, tender trips and unhurried meals shaping each day.
