Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
ELEMENT is a distinguished 42.7-metre motor yacht built by the renowned Italian shipyard Cantieri di Pisa in 2002, representing the enduring quality and craftsmanship that define this storied builder's reputation. Following a comprehensive refit in 2022, she presents a beautifully appointed vessel with modern interiors and an elegant aesthetic designed by Frederic Mechiche, blending contemporary comfort with timeless appeal.
Constructed with a composite hull and superstructure, ELEMENT combines structural integrity with efficient performance. Her shallow 1.9-metre draught and 8.3-metre beam provide excellent manoeuvrability and spacious accommodation, while twin MTU diesel engines deliver reliable cruising capability across Mediterranean waters. The yacht's design, both naval architecture and interior styling by Cantieri di Pisa, reflects a holistic approach to luxury yachting that prioritises functionality alongside refined aesthetics.
The yacht accommodates up to twelve guests across six well-appointed cabins, comprising one master suite, one VIP cabin, two double cabins, and two twin cabins, all designed to provide privacy and comfort for extended charters. Her professional crew of nine ensures seamless service and meticulous yacht management throughout your voyage. The interior showcases modern finishes with thoughtful colour accents, creating an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and welcoming.
ELEMENT's outdoor spaces are equally compelling. The spacious sundeck features a spa pool and generous lounging areas ideal for entertaining and relaxation, whilst multiple deck zones allow guests to enjoy the Mediterranean sunshine and sea breezes in various configurations. These lovely outdoor areas form the heart of the ELEMENT charter experience, providing the backdrop for unforgettable moments at sea.
Based in Athens and available for charter throughout the Greek Islands, the Aegean, and broader Mediterranean, ELEMENT offers the flexibility and comfort demanded by discerning clientele. Her combination of Italian-built pedigree, recent modernisation, and thoughtful interior design makes her an outstanding candidate for a refined charter vacation. Charter rates range from EUR 120,000 to EUR 135,000 per week, reflecting her superior positioning within the 40-metre charter market.

What is included in the charter rate for ELEMENT?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 9, 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 ELEMENT before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter ELEMENT?+
ELEMENT charters from €120,000 per week in low season and €135,000 in high season — a difference of about 13% 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.
