About this yacht
HOKULANI is a distinguished Palmer Johnson performance motor yacht that exemplifies the shipyard's commitment to combining sleek design with functional luxury. Built in 2007 and comprehensively refitted in 2021, this 45.7-meter vessel was designed by the acclaimed Nuvolari & Lenard studio, whose signature aesthetic balances contemporary style with timeless elegance. She represents the larger evolution of Palmer Johnson's celebrated 120-foot platform, introducing innovations that have made her one of the most sought-after charter yachts in the Mediterranean.
The yacht's most striking features reflect thoughtful design engineering. Her raised pilothouse incorporates a glass atrium roof panel that slides fore and aft, allowing guests to experience the sun or retreat to shade as desired—a concept borrowed from luxury convertible sports cars. The fly-bridge and expansive deck areas provide multiple social zones, while a custom hydraulic swim platform with self-deploying ladder and integrated tender garage facilitate seamless water access.
Accommodations for twelve guests span five thoughtfully appointed cabins, including a rare duplex Owner's suite with private lounge and study on the main deck, two double cabins, and two twin cabins with optional Pullman berths. Full-height windows flood the main salon and dining area with natural light, while soft neutral tones and refined textures create a welcoming, calm atmosphere throughout. The outdoor areas include a sun deck with shaded dining space and an alfresco bar, ideal for entertaining or quiet moments.
Operationally, HOKULANI excels in both comfort and capability. Her stabilizer systems—functional both underway and at anchor—ensure smooth passages even in variable conditions. With a maximum speed of 26 knots and cruise speed of 20 knots, she delivers the performance expected of a thoroughbred motor yacht. An impressive 2,500-nautical-mile range and shallow draft enable exploration of diverse Mediterranean coastlines, from Greek islands to Turkish waters. The onboard water toy collection includes Jet Skis, Seabobs, an e-foil, and additional recreational equipment, enhancing the guest experience at anchor.
A professional crew of eight provides attentive service tailored to each charter. HOKULANI charter vacations operate from Athens, with seasonal availability throughout the East Mediterranean. Whether for families seeking private escape or discerning couples desiring a sophisticated coastal experience, the HOKULANI charter offers distinctive performance, refined comfort, and access to some of Europe's most compelling cruising grounds.

What is included in the charter rate for HOKULANI?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 8, 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 HOKULANI before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter HOKULANI?+
HOKULANI charters from €120,000 per week in low season and €149,000 in high season — a difference of about 24% 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.
