PAREAKI II

She is a motor yacht whose cruising grounds are Greek, and her pace suits the way the islands are best enjoyed: a brisk passage after breakfast, a quiet bay by lunch, a new harbour in time for dinner. Recently refitted, she carries a family or a group of friends in comfort, with a full crew to look after the details. The flybridge is where many guests find themselves, drawn to the Jacuzzi there, where you can sit with a cold drink as the anchor goes down and the evening light settles across the water.

Once she is at anchor, the swim platform becomes the busiest place aboard. There is an efoil and a Radinn Jetboard for those who like to skim above the surface, a Sea Bob for exploring beneath it, and stand up paddleboards for a slower look along the shoreline. Water skis for adults and children, a Jobe hotseat and a Jobe chaser towable give the Zodiac RIB tender plenty to do. Snorkel equipment and an inflatable swimming platform keep younger swimmers happily occupied close to the stern.

Under the Greek sun, shade matters, and her upper deck can be covered completely, so lunch outdoors stays comfortable at the height of the day. The BBQ means grilled fish or meat served in the open air, and an electric scooter comes along for anyone who wants to wander a harbour town once the tender has taken them ashore. Between swims and island stops, the rhythm of a crewed charter takes hold: the crew handle the passage and the table, and your only decisions are where to swim next and how long to stay.

Indoors, the main deck salon is arranged for unhurried evenings, with a large television, a surround sound system and the HEOS App to send music to different zones of the yacht. Cosmote TV and Netflix are on hand for a film after a long day on the water, and each guest cabin has its own television. An office with its own screen allows a quiet hour of work when it cannot be avoided, before you return to the deck and the next anchorage.
