Aphrodite

Aphrodite is a classic 24-metre motor sailer built by the legendary Psaros Shipyard in 1970, representing an era when Greek yacht builders crafted vessels with enduring character and authentic sailing appeal. Recently refitted in 2023, she exemplifies the timeless elegance that continues to define the Psaros yacht legacy, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern comfort for guests seeking genuine Mediterranean sailing rather than contemporary minimalism.

The yacht's most distinctive feature is her beautifully maintained wooden exterior and interior, with a striking blue hull that contrasts elegantly against rich wood tones throughout the deck and accommodations. This authentic aesthetic makes Aphrodite an exceptional choice for those valuing character over trend. The spacious aft cockpit functions as an inviting al fresco living area, complete with a generous u-shaped sofa and protective bimini shade ideal for Mediterranean dining and entertaining. Forward, sun pads on the foredeck provide the perfect retreat for sunbathing while cruising the Aegean, Ionian Islands, Cyclades, and broader East Mediterranean regions. The expansive deck space throughout allows guests to move naturally between social gathering areas and private relaxation zones.

Accommodations comprise four cabins sleeping up to eight guests comfortably, including a master suite, a VIP cabin with queen berth, a double cabin with pullman berth, and a single cabin with bunk. The elegant traditional interior reflects meticulous attention to detail and maintains the character that makes an Aphrodite charter experience distinctly memorable. Every cabin is appointed with the warmth and refinement expected from a classic Psaros yacht, creating an atmosphere that encourages both social connection and peaceful retreat.

Powered by twin 240 hp Mercedes Benz diesel engines, Aphrodite achieves a cruising speed of seven knots with a maximum speed of ten knots, making her ideally paced for leisurely exploration and proper sailing enjoyment. This measured pace allows guests to truly appreciate the landscapes and islands they visit rather than rushing between destinations. The yacht is equipped with air conditioning, WiFi connectivity, and an array of water toys including a ski boat with 50 hp outboard, windsurfs, and full snorkeling and fishing gear, ensuring varied entertainment options for all guests.

Based in Greece and available year-round, the Aphrodite charter offers the rare opportunity to experience authentic Mediterranean sailing aboard a vessel with genuine pedigree and timeless appeal. From €27,300 per week, her combination of classic design, recent refurbishment, spacious deck areas, and flexible cruising capabilities make her an outstanding choice for a memorable Greek island or East Mediterranean charter experience.
