About this yacht
Designed to evoke the carefree elegance of early twentieth-century gentlemen's yachting, BLUE II stands as a modern masterpiece that seamlessly blends timeless aesthetics with cutting-edge innovation. This 56-meter classic motor yacht, delivered by Turkish shipyard Turquoise Yachts in 2020, has already garnered multiple prestigious awards including the World Superyacht Award and BOAT Design & Innovation Award—recognition of her exceptional design and engineering.
Beneath BLUE II's distinctive retro-chic profile lies a meticulously engineered explorer platform. Her hull, designed by the renowned Hoek Design team, draws inspiration from classic Dutch commercial craft with its characteristic near-vertical bow, canoe stern, and golden buff funnel. The ice-class steel hull and aluminum superstructure enclose 706 gross tonnes across four full decks, creating an impressively spacious interior that accommodates 12 guests in six thoughtfully appointed cabins, including two beautifully furnished master suites with commanding 180-degree sea views. The layout encompasses generous open decks for social gatherings, a sophisticated main salon, an extensive wellness centre featuring a sauna, steam room, and dedicated gym, plus a dedicated cinema lounge—all testament to her comprehensive amenities.
Interior styling by Vickers Studio and Hoek Design creates timeless spaces that feel both historically informed and thoroughly contemporary. A hybrid propulsion system with a 6,500 nautical mile range enables extended cruising while minimizing environmental impact and fuel consumption, reinforcing her credentials as a responsible explorer capable of Mediterranean passages with equal ease.
A professional crew of eleven manages the vessel's operations and guest services, ensuring seamless experiences throughout your charter. The yacht is equipped with a hydraulic swim platform, multiple tenders, and a comprehensive watersports package—ideal for exploring secluded anchorages across the Mediterranean.
Charter rates for BLUE II range from EUR 336,000 to EUR 357,000 per week, positioning her as an exceptional offering for discerning clients seeking distinctive design heritage paired with modern luxury and exploration capabilities across the West and East Mediterranean.

What is included in the charter rate for BLUE II?+
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 BLUE II before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter BLUE II?+
BLUE II charters from €336,000 per week in low season and €357,000 in high season — a difference of about 6% 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.
