AKASTI — 26.8m Sanlorenzo for Charter in Athens Riviera
Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
AKASTI represents the pinnacle of contemporary Italian motor yacht design and engineering. Delivered in 2024 by the renowned Sanlorenzo shipyard, this 26.76-meter SL86 model combines the builder's iconic pedigree with elegant, thoughtfully proportioned modern styling. Her interior design by Officina Italiana Design creates a refined living space that perfectly balances sophistication with the relaxed comfort essential for Mediterranean cruising. The yacht's beam of 6.35 meters provides exceptional stability and volume, resulting in surprisingly generous interior proportions for her length.
The yacht's layout is exceptionally well-suited for family and group charters, accommodating up to eight guests across four ensuite staterooms: one master suite with king berth, one VIP cabin with queen bed, and two additional queen cabins with the flexibility to convert one as twin beds. A professional crew of four ensures seamless service throughout your voyage, while the 24-knot cruising speed and twin 2000-horsepower MAN engines deliver both reliability and efficiency across the East Mediterranean's diverse waters. Maximum speed reaches 31 knots when conditions permit, though the yacht's refined cruising characteristics at moderate speeds make extended passages genuinely comfortable.
AKASTI's exterior spaces are generous and thoughtfully designed for the modern charter guest. The flybridge features a hardtop roof providing shelter for an eight-seat dining area, while the helm station allows commanding views underway. The foredeck offers an intimate lounge setting with day beds and a convenient table for morning coffee or evening cocktails, and the main deck aft provides comfortable seating and relaxation areas. The yacht's full stabilization system—both at anchor and underway—ensures smooth, comfortable cruising in varying sea states, a feature particularly valued for longer passages in the Aegean and Ionian islands.
A comprehensive water toys inventory includes a Williams 395 tender, two Seabob F5S eFoils, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, tubes, an inflatable sofa, and water skiing equipment, offering guests abundant options for active exploration and water-based recreation. Additional onboard amenities include full air conditioning, high-speed WiFi connectivity, and a dine-in galley equipped for sophisticated meal preparation. Based in Athens, AKASTI is ideally positioned for extended cruising throughout the Greek islands, from the Cyclades and Dodecanese to the Ionian group and broader East Mediterranean. Whether you seek a leisurely island-hopping itinerary among the pristine waters of Paros and Kos or a more expansive voyage, AKASTI charter delivers the ideal blend of performance, comfort, and elegance that defines a truly memorable luxury yacht experience.

What is included in the charter rate for AKASTI?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 4, insurance, and use of the onboard equipment and water toys. Fuel, food and beverages, berthing and port fees, and shore excursions are paid from the APA, and VAT is charged on the base rate. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is typically around 40% of the base rate, held by the captain and accounted for in full — unspent balance is refunded at disembarkation. Greek charter VAT varies by yacht and by charter, broadly between 5.2% and 24%, depending on the yacht's type, size and certification, the duration of the charter, whether it passes through international waters, and whether the yacht carries permanent professional crew. We confirm the applicable rate for AKASTI before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter AKASTI?+
AKASTI charters from €65,000 per week in low season and €75,000 in high season — a difference of about 15% between the two. In Greece, July and August are peak: the most settled weather, the busiest anchorages, and the highest rates. Late May, June, and September offer warm water and quieter islands at the low-season rate, and are what we most often recommend. The meltemi wind is strongest in July and August across the Cyclades, which is worth weighing if sea state matters to your party.
