GLAROS — 40.5m Maiora for Charter in Athens Riviera
Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
Motor yacht GLAROS stands as a striking example of Italian yacht building excellence. Constructed by Maiora in 2006 and comprehensively refitted in 2019, this 40.5-meter vessel combines contemporary design with practical cruising capability, making her an ideal choice for discerning charter guests exploring Greece and Turkey.
The yacht's interior reflects a sophisticated minimalist aesthetic, with clever use of natural light, wenge wood detailing, and neutral soft furnishings creating spaces that feel larger than the actual dimensions suggest. The main saloon is a light-filled hub for entertaining, featuring an elegant dining table for twelve, comfortable lounge seating, and a 50-inch television that emerges from cabinet storage at the touch of a button. This open-plan arrangement flows seamlessly to multiple outdoor entertaining spaces, perfect for Mediterranean dining under the stars.
GLAROS accommodates twelve guests across six thoughtfully designed cabins. The full-beam master stateroom on the lower deck offers a king bed, spacious lounge area, walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom with jetted tub and oversized shower. The VIP cabin on the main deck features its own spa pool, while two further double staterooms and two twin cabins—each with dedicated en-suite facilities—complete the guest accommodation. All cabins are equipped with plasma televisions, DVD and CD players, and soothing contemporary décor.
The yacht's performance credentials are equally impressive. Twin 3,750 hp MTU engines deliver a cruising speed of 17 knots with a maximum speed of 24 knots, enabling efficient passage-making between destinations whilst maintaining excellent fuel efficiency. A professional crew of seven ensures seamless service throughout your charter experience.
For active guests, GLAROS carries an excellent selection of water toys including two tenders, jet skis, waterskis, and snorkeling equipment. Multiple deck spaces—from the foredeck to the sundeck—provide abundant opportunities for relaxation and al fresco dining prepared by the onboard chef.
Ideally positioned in Athens with regular operations throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, the GLAROS charter experience encompasses exploration of the Greek islands, Turkish coast, and beyond. Her well-maintained systems, recent comprehensive refit, and thoughtful interior design make her equally suited to family vacations and corporate gatherings. GLAROS is available for weekly charter from €95,000 to €110,000.

What is included in the charter rate for GLAROS?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 7, 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 GLAROS before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter GLAROS?+
GLAROS charters from €95,000 per week in low season and €110,000 in high season — a difference of about 16% 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.
