AZURE — 22m Princess for Charter in Athens Riviera
Charter destination
Flisvos Marina, Athens, Greece
About this yacht
AZURE is a 21.95-meter Princess flybridge motor yacht built in 2005 and substantially enhanced through a comprehensive 2022 refit. Based at Flisvos Marina in Athens, this elegant vessel represents the British shipyard's renowned reputation for quality construction and timeless design, offering the perfect blend of performance and comfort for charter guests exploring the Mediterranean and Ionian Islands.
The yacht accommodates eight guests in four well-appointed cabins—three doubles and one twin—with a professional crew of three dedicated to ensuring a seamless charter experience. AZURE's distinctive strength lies in her generous outdoor spaces across two levels, a hallmark of her flybridge design. The upper flybridge features a spacious u-shaped seating arrangement surrounding a dining table, with direct access to an on-deck grill and a retractable soft bimini for weather protection. A forward helm station with excellent sightlines complements the relaxation zone, while generous sun pads on the foredeck provide an idyllic setting for sunbathing and taking in the views. The main deck aft offers an additional al fresco dining area with sun protection, ensuring guests can enjoy meals with panoramic vistas throughout their voyage. Whether hosting intimate dinners or casual gatherings, the multiple entertainment zones encourage guests to move fluidly between outdoor spaces while soaking in the Greek islands' natural beauty.
Powered by twin MAN engines delivering 1,360 horsepower each, AZURE cruises comfortably at 22 knots with a maximum speed of 29 knots, enabling efficient transits between cruising grounds while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency. Her shallow 1.6-meter draft and responsive performance make her ideally suited for exploring reef-protected anchorages and hidden coves throughout Greek waters and the Ionian Islands. The onboard 3.6-meter Novurania tender extends exploration possibilities further, allowing guests to discover secluded beaches and small ports inaccessible to larger vessels.
The interior reflects meticulous quality finishes with full air conditioning and WiFi connectivity, ensuring modern comfort without compromising the relaxed atmosphere. The galley is overseen by a professional chef capable of preparing refined menus tailored to specific dietary requirements—including vegan, organic, and gluten-free options—elevating every meal to a memorable occasion. The combination of stylish accommodations, exceptional outdoor entertaining spaces, and attentive crew makes AZURE an excellent choice for families and groups of friends seeking a sophisticated yet approachable charter experience. The 2022 refit ensures all systems and finishes are in prime condition, guaranteeing a reliable and luxurious voyage. For those considering an AZURE charter in the Mediterranean, this Princess yacht delivers both versatility and refinement.

What is included in the charter rate for AZURE?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 3, 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 AZURE before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter AZURE?+
AZURE charters from €27,000 per week in low season and €29,500 in high season — a difference of about 9% 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.
