About this yacht
AKIRA ONE, a striking 51.82-meter motor yacht built by the esteemed Benetti shipyard in 1998, represents the pinnacle of Mediterranean cruising elegance. Following comprehensive refits in 2020 and most recently in 2022, this vessel seamlessly blends timeless Italian design with contemporary comfort, making AKIRA ONE charter an ideal choice for those seeking refined relaxation across Greece, Croatia, and Turkey's enchanting waters.
Naval architect Stefano Natucci crafted her distinctive exterior profile, characterized by clean lines and abundant glazing that floods the interior with natural light. The sophisticated interiors by Zuretti & Luxury Projects showcase warm woods, rich creams, and beige tones that create an inviting, understated elegance throughout. The main deck salon features expansive seating, an entertainment system, and a formal dining area that accommodates all twelve guests, while a beautiful marble bar anchors the social spaces. This functional layout maximizes the yacht's generous beam of 9.14 meters, creating multiple outdoor living areas across all decks.
Accommodation comprises six lavishly appointed cabins sleeping up to 12 guests. The full-beam Master Suite on the main deck features a king-size bed, private study, and generous marble-clad ensuite with a luxurious hot tub. Below deck, the VIP staterooms and additional suites—each with ensuite facilities—provide tailored comfort for families and groups alike. The upper deck hosts a further double cabin with its own marble bathroom.
On deck, AKIRA ONE truly captivates. The expansive sundeck serves as the social hub, offering a Jacuzzi, BBQ station, and generous sun loungers perfect for Mediterranean sunbathing. A large swimming platform encourages water-based recreation, while the collection of water toys—including jet skis and windsurfing equipment—ensures endless entertainment. Multiple dining and lounging areas across the upper and main decks provide flexibility for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations.
Powered by zero-speed stabilizers, AKIRA ONE maintains remarkable steadiness even in challenging seas, while her cruising speed of 14 knots and impressive 4,606-nautical-mile range facilitate effortless exploration of distant coastlines. State-of-the-art audiovisual systems, including a PS4 Pro and newly installed karaoke, complement modern amenities like Wi-Fi and climate control throughout.

What is included in the charter rate for AKIRA ONE?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 11, 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 AKIRA ONE before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter AKIRA ONE?+
AKIRA ONE charters from €176,000 per week in low season and €206,000 in high season — a difference of about 17% 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.
