Some yachts make you stop. Emir is one of them. At 83 metres — 271 feet of Golden Yachts engineering, last refitted in 2022 — she doesn't just arrive in a harbour; she announces herself. We've been watching her build an impressive charter following over the past few seasons, and it's easy to understand why. This is the kind of vessel that redefines what a luxury yacht charter can feel like.
Built for Groups Who Demand the Best
With 14 staterooms and accommodation for up to 28 guests, Emir is genuinely rare — a superyacht scaled for large families, corporate retreats, or milestone celebrations without any compromise on intimacy or comfort. A crew of 27 sees to that. Twenty-seven. The ratio of crew to guest here is frankly extraordinary, and you feel it from the moment you step aboard: everything is anticipated, nothing is rushed, and the service carries that particular warmth that only comes from a team who clearly love what they do.
The 2022 refit brought her interiors and systems firmly into the present — crisp, contemporary spaces that still carry the gravitas you'd expect from a yacht of this scale. Stabilisers at anchor mean the comfort extends well into the evening, even when the sea has other ideas.
The Mediterranean: Summer Done Properly
Emir's summer home is the Mediterranean — and she wears it well. Picture the French Riviera's glamorous anchorages giving way to the quieter coves of the Italian coast, or the crystalline blues of the Greek islands unfolding at a leisurely 12 knots. A private yacht charter in the Mediterranean takes on an entirely different character when your floating base is 83 metres long. Tender excursions, water toys, long lunches on the aft deck — the days develop their own beautiful rhythm. She's already securing bookings for summer 2027, so if the Med is calling, now is the moment to move.
The Red Sea: Winter Chartering Reimagined
Here's what makes Emir genuinely exciting right now: this winter, she heads to the Red Sea. It's a destination that still surprises people — perhaps because so few superyachts of this calibre venture there. They should. The Red Sea offers some of the world's most extraordinary underwater landscapes, near-guaranteed sunshine through the winter months, and a sense of discovery that the more trafficked charter routes simply can't match. Diving the reefs off Saudi Arabia or Egypt aboard a yacht like this — with a full crew, every comfort imaginable, and horizon after horizon of deep azure water — is a luxury charter holiday of a different order entirely. Honestly, we think this winter season could be something special.
The Specifications, at a Glance
For those who like the details: Emir was built by Golden Yachts in 2004 and comprehensively refitted in 2022. She measures 83 metres with a beam of 12.8 metres, draws 4.4 metres, and cruises comfortably at 12.5 knots. Fourteen staterooms sleep up to 28 guests, served by 27 crew. Stabilisers at anchor are standard — a detail that matters more than you might think on longer itineraries.
Two Seasons, One Exceptional Yacht
What Emir offers — across both the Mediterranean and the Red Sea — is continuity of excellence. The crew travels with her. The standard of service doesn't change with the latitude. Whether you're planning a gulet cruise-style island-hopping adventure through the Aegean or a winter escape to the warm, reef-fringed waters of the Red Sea, Emir delivers the same thing: a private yacht charter experience that is genuinely difficult to surpass at this scale.
