ARCELIA — 23.5m Ferretti for Charter in Athens Riviera
Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
ARCELIA is a meticulously maintained 23.5-meter Ferretti flybridge motor yacht that represents Italian craftsmanship at its finest. Built in 2002 and comprehensively refitted in 2021, she has been restored to exacting standards and remains ideally suited for sophisticated charter experiences across the Greek islands and eastern Mediterranean. Whether exploring the pristine waters of the Cyclades, discovering hidden anchorages in the Dodecanese, or cruising the Ionian Islands, an ARCELIA charter combines refined comfort with authentic Mediterranean exploration.
The yacht's layout maximizes both comfort and social interaction through three distinct exterior deck spaces. The flybridge sun deck features a curved banquette seating arrangement with generous sun pads, complemented by a built-in grill for authentic al fresco entertaining and soft shade from a bimini top. The main deck aft is dedicated to al fresco dining with an adjustable table and flexible seating that overlooks the water, seamlessly connecting to the swim platform below. For guests seeking quieter moments, the foredeck provides dedicated sun lounging with unobstructed views over the bow, perfect for morning coffee or sunset aperitifs.
Below decks, ARCELIA accommodates up to nine guests across four thoughtfully appointed cabins, including a full-beam master suite for superior comfort, a VIP cabin, twin cabins, and a convertible option that provides flexible sleeping arrangements for varying party compositions. This configuration ensures both privacy and comfort for extended cruising, while the elegant interior finishes throughout are complemented by comprehensive air conditioning and complimentary WiFi. The yacht sleeps eight guests comfortably with additional berths available.
Powered by two Caterpillar diesel engines, ARCELIA achieves a maximum speed of 28 knots with a cruising speed of 23 knots, enabling efficient exploration of distant anchorages without excessive transit times. Her shallow draft of 2.6 meters permits access to secluded coves and pristine bays throughout Greece's most coveted cruising grounds, from the Cyclades' whitewashed villages to the Ionian Islands' emerald waters.
The water toy collection is particularly impressive, featuring a Novurania tender with Yamaha outboard, personal watercraft, eFoil board, multiple SUP boards, water skis, and comprehensive snorkeling equipment. This extensive selection caters to active guests seeking both thrilling water sports and leisurely water-based pursuits. A professional crew of four, based in Athens, provides attentive service and intimate local knowledge to curate bespoke itineraries tailored to your preferences, whether you envision serene island hopping, vibrant evenings in cosmopolitan ports, or peaceful anchorages beneath Mediterranean stars. Weekly rates commence at €25,500.

What is included in the charter rate for ARCELIA?+
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 ARCELIA before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter ARCELIA?+
ARCELIA charters from €25,500 per week in low season and €28,500 in high season — a difference of about 12% 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.
