Some yachts you admire from the dock. Amaryllis is the kind you board and quietly decide you never want to leave. At 78 metres, built by the legendary German shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen and freshly emerged from a 2026 refit by Studio Vafiadis, she is — and we say this without hesitation — one of the most compelling luxury yacht charter propositions afloat right now.
A Greece Yacht Charter Like No Other
This summer, Amaryllis is cruising the East and West Mediterranean — and Greece is where she truly shines. Picture waking up in a sheltered Ionian cove, the morning light catching the limestone cliffs of Kefalonia, the only sound the gentle lap of the Aegean against her hull. Her summer booking calendar is already moving: an Athens-to-Athens itinerary runs through late July into August, followed by a Corfu-to-Monaco passage in late August into September. These are routes we'd choose ourselves — the Greek islands at their most luminous, before the season turns.
Greece yacht charter at this level is genuinely rare. The combination of an Abeking & Rasmussen hull, a Studio Vafiadis interior redesign, and the sheer scope of the Greek cruising ground — from the Saronic Gulf to the Dodecanese — makes for a charter holiday that's almost impossible to replicate elsewhere. Frankly, if you've been considering a private yacht charter in Greece, this is the moment to stop deliberating.
What the 2026 Refit Delivered
Studio Vafiadis didn't tinker around the edges. The refit went deep — and the result is an Art Deco-inspired interior that feels both timeless and unmistakably now. Think considered detailing, layered textures, and a lounge anchored by a grand piano. It's the kind of space where a pre-dinner aperitivo somehow becomes a two-hour conversation. We mean that as the highest compliment.
Twelve guests are accommodated across seven cabins, with provision for five supernumeraries — ideal for larger groups travelling with staff or security. Four decks mean four distinct aft areas, each with its own character and use. Whether you're after a sun-drenched afternoon on the upper deck or something quieter and more shaded below, Amaryllis gives you genuine choice.
The Beach Club, the Spa, and the Toys
Below the waterline — well, almost — the beach club is where Amaryllis earns her keep on warm Mediterranean afternoons. A spa, sauna, and gym sit alongside a generous water toys inventory. Jet skis, paddleboards, inflatables, tenders — the kind of arsenal that keeps a group of twelve thoroughly entertained across a two-week gulet cruise without anyone running out of ideas.
Zero-speed stabilisers are fitted throughout, which matters more than guests often expect. Overnight passages between Greek islands, dinner service underway, sleeping in glassy comfort despite the open sea — it's one of those details that separates a truly thoughtful yacht from the rest of the fleet.
The Caribbean Winter Option
Come November, Amaryllis repositions to St. Maarten for the Caribbean winter season — and her 2026/27 availability is now open. Christmas and New Year bookings require a minimum of two weeks, which is honestly exactly as long as you'll want once you're aboard. The Caribbean programme is a different kind of luxury charter holiday: trade wind sailing, translucent shallows, the easy rhythm of island-hopping between St. Barths, Anguilla, and beyond. Same extraordinary yacht, entirely different light.
