WHITE KNIGHT

WHITE KNIGHT is a Maiora motor yacht whose recent refit has kept her interior crisp and contemporary. White furnishings, soft lighting and polished wooden floors give the saloon a calm, uncluttered feel, the sort of room in which a group can gather in the evening without it ever seeming crowded. Her cabins are arranged to suit a family or a group of friends, with a mix of doubles and twins, one of which can be converted, so the sleeping plan can be set to the party aboard.

The sundeck is where much of the day is spent. A bar sits close to a covered dining area, so lunch can be taken in the shade with the view open on every side, while sun pads and loungers give plenty of space to settle with a book in the breeze. A dedicated crew looks after the details, from the table to the tender, leaving guests free to decide how the day should unfold.

Cruising in Greek waters, she suits the rhythm of island-hopping: a morning passage, a quiet anchorage, a swim before lunch. Stabilisers help keep her steady both underway and when she is lying at anchor, which matters for sleeping well and for dining without a roll. Her speed lets the crew cover distance comfortably when an itinerary calls for it, without it dominating the days.

Time on the water is well provided for. The RIB Brig Eagle tender carries guests to shore and into smaller coves, and the toys include a Seabob, a Sea-Doo, a Nautibuoy Voyager, Jobe towables, waterskis, a wakeboard, an inflatable stand-up paddleboard and snorkelling equipment. For those who like to keep a routine, there is a bike to pedal, a suspension trainer and a rack of free weights, while the media and communication systems keep the rest of life within easy reach.
