About this yacht
BLISS is a sophisticated 44-metre Heesen motor yacht that exemplifies the Dutch shipyard's reputation for performance-driven design and refined craftsmanship. Built in 2007 and comprehensively refitted in 2025, she combines contemporary styling with exceptional functionality—a composite hull engineered for light weight and fuel efficiency, paired with a sleek exterior that commands attention across the Mediterranean.
Designed to accommodate 12 guests across seven well-appointed cabins, BLISS features a master stateroom positioned on deck for maximum privacy and panoramic views, complemented by four double cabins and two twin cabins. Each cabin is equipped with en-suite facilities, climate control, and modern entertainment systems including televisions and iPod docks. The layout encourages both social gathering and intimate relaxation, with guest areas spanning three generous deck levels offering outstanding sunbathing and lounging opportunities.
The interior reflects a sophisticated approach to contemporary design, balancing bold and soft colours with quality furnishings and thoughtful details. A raised main saloon provides 360-degree sightlines, while the sky lounge extends entertainment options topside. The yacht's comprehensive audio-visual systems—including satellite television and entertainment displays throughout—ensure guests remain seamlessly connected or entertained as preferred. A sauna adds an additional wellness element to the charter experience.
BLISS delivers impressive cruising capability, with twin 2720kW MTU engines powering her to 24 knots maximum speed while maintaining an efficient 16-knot cruise. Advanced stabilisers ensure comfort in varying sea conditions, while the composite hull construction optimises both performance and fuel economy.
Entertainment and water-based activities feature prominently in the BLISS charter experience. The sundeck is fitted with a Teppanyaki grill for alfresco dining, while a spa pool and comprehensive water toys collection—supported by a professional crew of 11—cater to active guests. Exercise equipment and Wi-Fi connectivity complete the modern amenities package.
Based in Athens and available for charter throughout the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, BLISS represents an exceptional choice for discerning clientele seeking a balanced blend of performance, space, and contemporary luxury. Charter rates begin at €195,000 per week.

What is included in the charter rate for BLISS?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 11, 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 BLISS before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter BLISS?+
BLISS charters from €195,000 per week in low season and €235,000 in high season — a difference of about 21% 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.
