Some yachts arrive quietly. Others make an entrance. Haiami I — a newly commissioned 42-metre Custom Line Navetta due to debut in 2027 — belongs firmly in the second camp. From the moment we first reviewed her specifications, it was clear this is not just another addition to the luxury charter market. She is, frankly, something to get genuinely excited about.
Designed for the Mediterranean — and It Shows
Haiami I stretches to 41.80 metres with a beam of 8.1 metres and — crucially — a draft of just 2.33 metres. That shallow draft is not an accident. The Ferretti Group Engineering Department designed her with Mediterranean cruising in mind, and it opens up anchorages that deeper-keeled superyachts simply cannot access. Think hidden coves in the Ionian, tucked-away bays in the Saronic Gulf, the kind of spots that don't appear on tourist maps. For a Greece yacht charter, that kind of access is everything.
Her three-deck layout balances volume with elegance — generous indoor salons flow naturally out to broad exterior terraces, so the boundary between inside and outside almost disappears. On a warm Aegean evening, that matters more than any brochure stat.
Six Cabins, Twelve Guests, Zero Compromises
Haiami I accommodates up to 12 guests across six cabins. The centrepiece is the Owner's suite on the main deck — a proper, full-beam retreat with panoramic views of whatever coastline happens to be sliding past. The remaining cabins are equally well-considered, making this an ideal vessel for multi-generational families, groups of close friends, or anyone who simply refuses to compromise on space and privacy during a luxury charter holiday.
Nine crew look after those twelve guests. That ratio — more than three crew for every four guests — is one of the clearest signals of how seriously the onboard experience has been conceived. Service at this level doesn't happen by accident.
The Beach Club Changes Everything
If we had to identify the single feature most likely to define the onboard experience, it would be the beach club. Positioned at water level and opening directly onto the sea, it transforms the yacht into something more like a private island than a vessel. No ladders, no awkward scrambles — just a seamless connection between yacht and ocean.
The side garage takes that philosophy a step further. Tenders and water toys deploy directly from the hull, which means less fuss and more time in the water. Paddleboards, jet skis, inflatables — whatever fills your ideal afternoon — are ready in minutes. We think this kind of thoughtful, sea-focused design is exactly what separates a great private yacht charter from an exceptional one.
Greece in May and June — Get There First
Haiami I will be based in Greece during May and June, before heading west for the remainder of the season. Those early summer weeks in Greece are, in our view, the sweet spot — the Aegean is warm but not yet crowded, the light is extraordinary, and popular anchorages feel almost to yourself. The Greek islands reward exploration, and a yacht of this range and draft rewards them back.
Imagine waking up off Hydra, spending the afternoon drifting through the Cyclades, and watching the sun drop behind Santorini's caldera from the sun deck with a glass of something cold. That sun deck, by the way, is one of the most generously proportioned we've encountered on a 42-metre yacht — ample room for sunbathing, al fresco lunches, and long evenings that blur effortlessly into night.
A New Benchmark for Luxury Yacht Charter
Brand-new builds of this calibre don't sit on the market for long — especially when they're offering Greece yacht charter availability in the best weeks of the season. Haiami I arrives in 2027 as a fully realised vision of what modern Mediterranean yachting should look like: intuitive, sea-connected, beautifully crewed, and designed with the guest experience at its absolute core.
If this sounds like the kind of luxury gulet charter experience you've been searching for, we'd encourage you to reach out to our team sooner rather than later. Weeks like these — fresh, uncrowded, aboard a brand-new yacht in the Greek islands — don't come around twice.
