SAMARA: A Standout in Luxury and Innovation for Your Greek Yacht Charter Vacation

For travelers seeking a luxury Greek yacht charter vacation that blends indulgence with adventure, SAMARA is an exceptional find. This unique vessel offers the elegance and comfort of a high-end motor yacht, paired with the sporty spirit often reserved for sailing adventures. Unlike traditional monohulls or catamarans, SAMARA’s design and features place her in a class of her own. With a 31-foot beam and over 4,000 square feet of living space, this yacht delivers unparalleled volume and stability—perfect for cruising the scenic islands of Greece in ultimate style.

Inspired by the graceful flight of the sycamore tree’s winged seed, SAMARA is built for smooth, efficient cruising—even in shallow bays and secluded anchorages, thanks to her minimal draft. Innovative details like eco-conscious solar technology and sustainable cork decking further set her apart. Whether you’re chasing thrills along the Ionian coast or unwinding amid the tranquil Cyclades, SAMARA is designed for all kinds of travelers.

The expansive aft deck offers shaded al fresco dining, a full bar, and a built-in grill—ideal for sunset meals overlooking Santorini or Mykonos. Inside, the main salon opens up to a gourmet galley, sleek bar seating, a lounge with hidden 55” TV, and a secondary sunken lounge featuring a cozy fireplace for cooler evenings.

The master suite is a true sanctuary, complete with panoramic windows, a luxurious en-suite bath, walk-in closet, and direct access to a private Jacuzzi deck—ideal for soaking in the views of the Aegean. Two queen cabins and a versatile triple stateroom below deck comfortably accommodate additional guests, each with private en-suite baths.

The sundeck feels like your own floating rooftop garden, with custom cabanas, chaise lounges, and plush seating to enjoy the Grecian sun by day, or a movie under the stars by night. And for those seeking sea-level thrills, the hydraulic swim platform becomes your personal beach club, launching point for jet skis, paddleboards, and more.

Whether cruising the crystal waters of the Greek Isles, exploring hidden coves in the Saronic Gulf, or anchoring near historic harbors, SAMARA offers a seamless blend of luxury, adventure, and comfort that redefines the Greek yacht charter experience.

A rare find of luxury yacht combined with sporty/ adventurous qualities which stands out head and shoulders above other monohull and catamaran hull yachts of this size. From bow to stern, guests cannot truly imagine the comfort, quality and spaciousness of SAMARA until stepping aboard. Named after the "winged seed of the Sycamore tree", this yacht was built to glide effortlessly, efficiently and steadily over long distances, in shallow waters thanks to a minimum draft. Packed with innovative features such as solar power technology and cork decks while also catering to the most adventurous or laid back cruisers, every type of guest will appreciate what this yacht has to offer. The volume is remarkable with 4000 square feet aboard beyond that of larger monohulls and attributed to her 31’ beam versus the typical 20’. Stepping aboard the AFT DECK, there is a large dining area, well sheltered alongside a full barbeque grill to starboard. Entering the MAIN SALON brings everything to life with open plan galley and bar stools to starboard and the welcoming lounge area to port. Concealed overhead is the 55" TV transforming this area for movie night or morning news while at the galley bar. There is easy access to a bayhead on this level just forward of the lounge as well. Make your way forward into a cozy sunken, second lounge situated near the main salon. A romantic fire place feature here on a blustery evening makes this lounge very inviting. A true sanctuary on the main deck is the forward facing MASTER suite with open plan from port to starboard bringing in the gorgeous views and natural light of outdoors, inside as well. To port is the ensuite Master bathroom with double sinks featuring designer waterfall taps, private toilet and stall shower. To starboard is a walk-in wardrobe with drawers and hanging closet. Storage is ample throughout. A private glass door leads forward onto the Jacuzzi deck serving as a full Owner's deck and offers privacy with the subtle wrap around of superstructure design on both sides. Large petal-shaped loungers invited guests to relax in the sun or curl up and read a book in privacy. Forward below deck in the port and starboard hulls guests will find the comfort of two Queen staterooms, each en suite with spacious showers, toilet and ample storage in two closets and cabinetry. Aft in the starboard hull 2-3 more guests can find accommodation in a double bed with pullman bunk, also with en suite facilities. Moving up to the SUN DECK during the day is akin to stepping into a private garden in an exclusive villa. Two custom cabanas easily offer comfort to 3 adults each with shade as desired overhead and around. A ‘jump seat’ sunpad situated in front of the helm on this level also provides the best view from above. As the moon rises, this deck transforms to a whole new experience of its own. Whether experiencing movie night with the oversized cinema in position and popcorn machine or an elegant dinner under the stars, this is the most favored space aboard by most. Not to forget the area where the most action occurs, the SWIM PLATFORM. A hydraulic center stage secures the wave runners when under way and once lowered, this level is the easy access deck for a variety of water activities such as diving, enjoying water toys, boarding the tender, and swim entry. Transform this area with chairs and inflatable cushions for the perfect BEACH CLUB. Each hull also offers a set of steps and a swim ladder for water access.

Charter location: Greece
Yacht chartered: SAMARA

This was our first ever yacht charter but thanks to our experience on the Samara it certainly won’t be
our last.
Two families of four chartered this luxurious and spacious yacht for one week. We planned to depart
from Athens, travel south to the Cyclades, visit several islands, and disembark in Santorini.
We were given a very warm welcome upon boarding, with a beautifully presented light lunch and cold
champagne. We then set sail out of Athens harbor to our first anchoring point near the island of Spetses
where we enjoyed our first of seven amazing sunsets and even more amazing meals. After our first
evening, the captain informed us that the wind was picking up near the Cyclades. He said it would not
be dangerous and we could still proceed, but it would be a bumpier ride when traveling, and the water
could also be choppier when at anchor. Captain Lev was aware that we wanted to enjoy our time in the
water and use the water toys as much as possible. The Captain was very communicative from the start.
He recommended staying close by for another day to see if the wind would die down and if not, we
could modify our plans and visit islands not on the original itinerary. We put our trust in the extremely
competent Captain Lev and visited some of the most beautiful, unspoiled spots we could ever have
imagined.
Meanwhile, Tria made sure to “wow’ us daily - not only with the presentation but with the amazing
flavors of spectacular dishes prepared from fresh, delicious local produce. We have some early risers
and some late sleepers in our group but whatever time we woke up Tria and Annet were there with a
smile and an amazing variety of breakfast options. Tria also communicated with us daily making
suggestions such as a lighter lunch because of a bigger dinner, or vice versa. Our boys discovered an
octopus while spearfishing and Tria, always eager to please, dove down to show us how to properly
catch and humanely kill what would be a nice addition to our final dinner!
Christos spent lots of time ensuring that our four (20-something-year-old) “boys’ were kept busy. He
was up early every morning preparing the many water toys and cheering on the participants in their
endeavors. He was the steady arm we would lean on when getting in and out of the tender and he
would drive us back and forth to various islands no matter the time of night. Like all on board, he wore
many hats and was eager to show off his bartending abilities and mastery of the grill. Christos even
shared some of his personal food, as one night we had an amazing meal -- Kokoretsi sausage which
came from his village!
Annet kept us endlessly amazed at the beautiful table settings which changed for every meal. She took
great pride and put a lot of effort into not only setting the tables but also making most of the decorative
items on display. She kept our beautiful cabins spotless and our glasses filled. Nothing was too much
trouble.
In short, this crew worked together to ensure that our trip was one that we will remember forever. Each
one of them added a “special-something” to the week. From Captain Lev’s quiet confidence and
professionalism to Tria’s enthusiasm and obvious passion for what he does, Annet’s attention to detail
and sense of humor, and Christos’s love for and knowledge of all things Greek. We’ll never forget the
crew of the Samara or the very special week they gave us!
