GENESIA — 48.5m Feadship for Charter in Greece
About this yacht
GENESIA is a distinguished 48.5-meter motor yacht built by the renowned Dutch shipyard Feadship in 1987, representing the classic gentleman's yacht aesthetic that has defined the builder's reputation for over five decades. This elegant vessel combines timeless design with modern enhancements, most notably through a comprehensive 2022 refit that has positioned her as a sophisticated choice for discerning charterers seeking both heritage and contemporary comfort.
The yacht's interior reflects a refined approach to luxury, with warm teak paneling creating an inviting backdrop throughout her main and upper saloons. The 2022 refit introduced new ceiling systems, contemporary lighting installations including a sophisticated discotheque system in the upper salon, and modern furnishings that complement the classic woodwork. Large plasma televisions and updated stereo systems enhance the entertainment experience across her living spaces. The owner's suite has been thoughtfully reconfigured with the addition of two new master bathrooms, their marble-clad walls and Sherle Wagner fixtures exemplifying the attention to detail throughout the vessel.
Accommodation consists of six staterooms sleeping up to 12 guests, with flexible configurations including one master suite, one VIP cabin, three double cabins, and one twin cabin. This arrangement makes GENESIA particularly well-suited for families and groups seeking varied sleeping preferences. The yacht's cruising range of approximately 5,182 nautical miles enables extended Mediterranean exploration and beyond.
Entertainment and wellness amenities are substantial. A large on-deck Jacuzzi serves as a focal point for relaxation, while comprehensive gym equipment and zero-speed stabilizers at anchor ensure comfort throughout the voyage. The extended swim platform facilitates direct water access, complemented by an impressive selection of water toys including jet skis, paddleboards, and snorkeling equipment. Two Capelli tenders provide stylish shore mobility for excursions and exploration.
A professional crew of nine manages all aspects of yacht operations, allowing guests to focus entirely on relaxation and discovery. Whether anchored in secluded Mediterranean coves or moored at prestigious ports, GENESIA charter offers an authentic Feadship experience—blending the builder's esteemed pedigree with thoughtful modern upgrades. The yacht is available for weekly charters from €135,000 to €150,000.

What is included in the charter rate for GENESIA?+
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 GENESIA before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter GENESIA?+
GENESIA charters from €135,000 per week in low season and €150,000 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.
