BARACUDA VALLETTA — 50m Perini Navi for Charter in Athens Riviera
Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
BARACUDA VALLETTA is a 50-meter Perini Navi sailing yacht launched in 2009 that stands as the 46th vessel completed by the celebrated Italian shipyard. Her naval architecture was developed through a masterful collaboration between Perini Navi's in-house design team and New Zealand's renowned Ron Holland, resulting in a ketch that balances exceptional sailing performance with sophisticated luxury accommodation. The recent comprehensive 2024 refit has refreshed her systems and interior finishes, ensuring she operates at peak condition for today's charter clientele.
Her striking aesthetic commands immediate attention on the water. The metallic grey hull accented with subtle gold tones, paired with her distinctive flaming purple sails, creates a bold contemporary visual statement that departs decisively from conventional yacht aesthetics. True to Perini Navi's design signature, BARACUDA VALLETTA features dramatically curved windows, a commanding extended flying bridge, and refined deckhouse proportions that deliver both visual drama and genuine functional advantage. The main deck represents a revelation—conceived as an expansive open living area entirely free of partitions, creating an unusually airy sense of space that makes guests feel as though they're aboard a considerably larger vessel.
Technically, BARACUDA VALLETTA incorporates advanced sailing innovations that deliver genuine performance. Her aluminium construction features a lead-ballasted canting keel system that adjusts from a four-meter draft, enabling exceptional sailing across the Mediterranean's varied conditions while maintaining shallow-water cruising capability. The extended waterline, deep semi-compensated rudder, and tapered hull form work in concert to produce state-of-the-art sailing characteristics that reward both speed and seaworthiness. With an impressive 4,837-nautical-mile range and cruise speed of 12 knots, BARACUDA VALLETTA charter itineraries span from the Aegean to the Balearics without constraint.
Accommodation comprises five luxurious staterooms accommodating ten overnight guests: a full-beam master cabin featuring dual ensuite facilities, two double cabins, and two twin cabins, each with private bathroom access. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior with abundant natural light, while the minimalist contemporary aesthetic creates an uncluttered, brightly lit environment that feels refined rather than cramped. A professional crew of nine ensures seamless service throughout your charter experience.
Recreation amenities reflect genuine commitment to water-based engagement. Dual tenders, comprehensive snorkeling equipment, SeaBob personal watercraft, paddle boards, water skis, tubes, and dedicated wake-sports equipment enable active exploration of anchorages. A practical swim platform provides effortless water access.
Operating from Athens as her base port, BARACUDA VALLETTA charter operates year-round throughout the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, with rates from €185,000 to €210,000 per week depending on season. She represents an exceptional choice for those seeking authentic sailing combined with refined luxury and comprehensive crew support.
