ESPERANZA — 21.1m Princess for Charter in Greece
Charter destination
Rhodes, Greece
About this yacht
ESPERANZA is a 21-meter Princess motor yacht offering a refined introduction to the superyacht lifestyle. Built in 2002 by the prestigious British shipyard Princess and recently refitted in 2025, she combines proven naval architecture with contemporary comfort for discerning charter guests seeking both relaxation and exploration across the Mediterranean.
The yacht accommodates eight guests across four well-appointed cabins, including a master suite, VIP stateroom, and twin cabins, each with en-suite facilities. This intimate configuration is ideal for small groups, family getaways, or executive retreats seeking privacy without the operational complexity of larger vessels. A professional crew of two manages all aspects of navigation, hospitality, and water activities, allowing guests to focus entirely on their experience.
ESPERANZA delivers a cruising speed of 21 knots, providing efficient transit between destinations while remaining economical for extended voyages. Her recent refit ensures that all systems, interiors, and amenities meet current standards for luxury charter. Onboard amenities include air conditioning, entertainment systems, a sun deck with lounging areas, a swim platform, and full water toys including jet skis, water skis, snorkeling equipment, and an underwater camera for enthusiasts exploring Greece's pristine coastal waters.
Based year-round in Rhodes, Greece, ESPERANZA is ideally positioned for East Mediterranean exploration. Charter guests can access the dramatic coastlines of the Greek Islands, hidden anchorages off Turkey, and the azure waters of the Aegean—destinations that demand a vessel of this size and agility to navigate secluded beaches and tucked-away coves beyond the reach of larger ships. The yacht's modest draft and nimble handling make her particularly well-suited to these waters.
The ESPERANZA charter experience is distinguished by the balance she strikes: substantial enough to offer genuine superyacht amenities and stability, yet intimate and maneuverable enough to access the Mediterranean's most coveted, exclusive locations. Whether cruising during the summer high season or exploring quieter winter routes, she provides an authentic taste of Mediterranean yachting without the logistical demands of mega-yachts.
ESPERANZA is available for weekly charter from €18,000 to €20,000, plus expenses, offering exceptional value for clients seeking a sophisticated, owner-comparable experience in one of Europe's most sought-after cruising grounds.

What is included in the charter rate for ESPERANZA?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 2, 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 ESPERANZA before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter ESPERANZA?+
ESPERANZA charters from €18,000 per week in low season and €20,000 in high season — a difference of about 11% 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.
