Charter destination
Bodrum, Turkey
About this yacht
AQUARIUS is a striking 46-metre tri-deck motor yacht built by Mengi Yay Yachts in 2016 and recently refitted in 2025, offering an extraordinary combination of innovative design, contemporary elegance, and on-water functionality. Her ultra-modern exterior, constructed in laminated cold-molded wood with styling by Oguzhan Guler, earned her a starring role in the Netflix production Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery—a testament to the vessel's refined aesthetics and impeccable presentation. With a full-displacement hull delivering a comfortable cruising speed of 12 knots and capable top speed of 16 knots, AQUARIUS represents the caliber of custom superyacht construction for which the Turkish shipyard is renowned, having been recognized with multiple industry awards since her launch.
The interior reflects a philosophy of understated luxury, designed by Mengi Yay in collaboration with BTA Design. Clean lines, neutral tones, and purposeful design create bright, airy spaces that feel both sophisticated and livable. The main salon features an expansive open-plan layout with sumptuous cream sofas anchoring the space, while the formal dining area seats eight guests at a minimalist black table. A generous 4K home theatre projection system transforms the dining space into an intimate cinema, ideal for evening entertainment. The sky lounge offers additional lounging with deep-cushioned seating and panoramic windows that frame the Mediterranean scenery, while a well-equipped fitness centre allows guests to maintain their wellness routines at sea.
Accommodation comprises five cabins sleeping ten guests overnight: a master cabin with a private study, separate office with printer access, and twin private balconies accessed via sliding glass doors; three additional double cabins; and one twin cabin. All guest quarters feature en-suite bathrooms finished to exacting standards. The crew of nine ensures seamless service throughout your charter experience.
What truly distinguishes AQUARIUS are her exceptional outdoor amenities. A sea-level beach club with direct water access provides unparalleled convenience for watersports and casual swimming, complemented by generous sundeck space with sunpads. The foredeck features an integrated Jacuzzi, while fold-out private balcony terraces offer secluded vantage points. Zero-speed stabilizers minimize motion at anchor, enhancing guest comfort even in challenging conditions. Twin Caterpillar C-32 diesel engines (1,450hp each) power the full-displacement yacht, while the tender garage accommodates a 7.2-metre Axopar 22 Spyder chase boat for exploration of remote anchorages and shallow-water destinations.
Based in Bodrum, Turkey, AQUARIUS cruises the Mediterranean's most coveted waters—the Greek islands, Turkish coast, and Eastern Mediterranean ports—offering the perfect platform for extended family gatherings or small-group charter holidays. Her multi-award-winning design, recent comprehensive refit, and proven track record make AQUARIUS an exemplary choice for those seeking contemporary design without sacrificing comfort or practicality.

What is included in the charter rate for AQUARIUS?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 9, 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 AQUARIUS before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter AQUARIUS?+
AQUARIUS charters from €220,000 per week in low season and €235,000 in high season — a difference of about 7% 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.
