CARIÑO — 23.8m Versilcraft for Charter in Athens Riviera
Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
Originally built by the renowned Italian shipyard Versilcraft in 1984, CARIÑO has been meticulously fully rebuilt during 2024–2025, perfectly combining timeless Mediterranean craftsmanship with contemporary minimalist design. This 23.8-metre motor yacht represents the ideal marriage of classic Italian lines and modern refinement, offering discerning guests a serene, light-filled atmosphere throughout.
CARIÑO charter experiences center on relaxed, elegant cruising across the Aegean Islands. She accommodates up to 10 guests across five well-appointed cabins—one queen master suite and four twin cabins, each with en-suite facilities, individual climate control, televisions, and premium audio systems. A dedicated crew of five ensures seamless service and genuine hospitality.
The yacht's design prioritizes outdoor living and indoor-outdoor flow. The generous aft deck is configured for shaded alfresco dining and casual lounging, opening naturally from the main salon. Above, the flybridge delivers panoramic views with sun loungers and a relaxation lounge, ideal for unwinding at anchor or watching Mediterranean sunsets. An innovative sundeck projector setup with high-end audio allows for evening entertainment under the stars.
Water activities are well catered for. A premium Yachtbeach teak platform with multi-dock system simplifies access to the sea and water toys. The toy box includes two SEABOB F9S premium seascooters for exploring nearby bays, a Jobe Infinity Seascooter Pro Package, two inflatable SUPs, two inflatable kayaks, and a 3.9-metre RIB tender with Yamaha F30BETL outboard. Modern conveniences such as air conditioning throughout and onboard WiFi ensure comfort and connectivity.
Based in Athens, Greece, CARIÑO operates primarily in the Aegean, making her an excellent platform for island hopping, discovering secluded anchorages, and experiencing the Greek islands at a leisurely pace. The yacht's flexible cabin layout and practical design make her equally suited to family holidays or friendly gatherings seeking refined simplicity without pretension.
From EUR 28,000 to 30,000 per week, the CARIÑO charter experience offers genuine Mediterranean elegance paired with modern comfort and a thoughtfully curated water sports programme.

Who built CARIÑO and what are her specs?+

What is included in the charter rate for CARIÑO?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 5, 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 CARIÑO before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter CARIÑO?+
CARIÑO charters from €28,000 per week in low season and €30,000 in high season — a difference of about 7% 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.
How do I book a charter on CARIÑO?+
Send an enquiry through this page or contact Aris Drivas Yachting directly. We confirm availability directly and hold dates on request, prepare a tailored itinerary and quote, and handle the contract, APA, and crew briefing end-to-end. DRIVAS has been brokering Greek charters since 1972.
