About this yacht

Built in 1970 by the renowned Grand Banks shipyard and comprehensively refitted in 2025, HERCULE POIROT is a beautifully preserved 20.8-metre vintage gentleman's motor yacht that exemplifies timeless elegance and seaworthy reliability. Crafted with a solid teak hull and superstructure, she has been maintained to an exceptional standard and represents the enduring quality of classic motor yacht construction from America's most respected builder.

HERCULE POIROT accommodates up to 10 guests in four en suite double cabins, each thoughtfully appointed to balance period character with modern comfort. The yacht's full keel twin-screw displacement hull design ensures stable, fuel-efficient cruising even in variable sea conditions, while integrated stabilisers provide enhanced comfort throughout your voyage. Air conditioning throughout the vessel and WiFi connectivity ensure that guests need not sacrifice contemporary conveniences when choosing to charter a yacht of such classic provenance.

The exterior spaces exemplify the vessel's dual nature: beautifully varnished teak decks and traditional lines create an authentically vintage aesthetic, while the walkaround side decks and sheltered aft cockpit provide safe, sociable environments ideal for families. The aft deck is arranged for relaxed al fresco dining, allowing guests to experience the Mediterranean or Aegean in comfort. Licensed for both 14 overnight guests and 25 day cruising guests, HERCULE POIROT proves surprisingly versatile for larger groups seeking a smaller-ship experience.

Operating from Athens's Ellinikon Marina, this Greek-flagged vessel is ideally positioned for extended island exploration throughout the Aegean and Mediterranean. Her seaworthy design and modest fuel consumption make her equally at home for leisurely coastal cruising or more ambitious longer-range voyages. A professional crew of four provides the expertise and attentiveness required to maintain such a storied vessel while ensuring every charter detail is attended to seamlessly.

Family-friendly and pet-friendly by design, HERCULE POIROT appeals particularly to discerning charterers seeking authenticity alongside dependable performance. Her 2025 refit confirms an ongoing commitment to preservation, ensuring she continues to deliver the distinctive character and nautical integrity that distinguishes a true gentleman's motor yacht. Charter rates begin at EUR 21,000 per week, offering exceptional value for a vessel of such pedigree and proven cruising capability.

What is included in the charter rate for HERCULE POIROT?+

The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 4, 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 HERCULE POIROT before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.

When is the best time to charter HERCULE POIROT?+

HERCULE POIROT charters from €21,000 per week in low season and €24,500 in high season — a difference of about 17% 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.
