About this yacht
HOLIDAY stands as a testament to Italian maritime excellence, a 42.45-metre Maiora motor yacht launched in 2005 and recently brought to immaculate condition with an extensive 2025 refit. This distinguished vessel combines timeless design with contemporary comfort, offering discerning charterers an uncompromising HOLIDAY charter experience in the Mediterranean and beyond.
Designed by the celebrated interior architect Roberto Del Re, HOLIDAY showcases the refined aesthetic hallmarks of her builder. Her interiors feature rich hardwood flooring, lavish wood paneling, and soft yellow and cream furnishings that create a warm, sophisticated ambiance throughout. The main salon is an open-plan space with a comfortable lounge area separated from an intimate dining table by a beautiful credenza, while the upper deck sky lounge features a striking circular dining table for ten, surrounded by pale yellow sofas and textured paneling that epitomizes classical luxury.
Accommodation for twelve guests is provided across five staterooms. The main deck master suite is a sanctuary unto itself, featuring a king-size bed, private office, and a marble-clad en-suite with dual sinks and a bathtub. Four additional guest cabins—three doubles and two twins with Pullman bunks—are situated on the lower deck, each appointed with marble en-suite bathrooms and advanced entertainment systems, ensuring every guest enjoys the highest standard of comfort.
HOLIDAY's exterior spaces are equally impressive. The sundeck features an on-deck Jacuzzi surrounded by sunpads and loungers, complemented by a covered bar and lounge area, creating the perfect setting for both relaxation and entertaining. The upper deck offers multiple alfresco dining and lounge areas, while the main deck aft provides shaded outdoor seating. A comprehensive selection of water toys, including jet skis accessed via Davit crane, ensures active pursuits for those inclined.
With a professional crew of ten, a cruising range of 4,000 nautical miles, and amenities including air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a sundeck gym, HOLIDAY delivers the complete luxury experience. Based in Greece, she is ideally positioned for extended explorations throughout the Aegean and beyond. This Maiora yacht represents an exceptional opportunity for sophisticated Mediterranean HOLIDAY charters.

What is included in the charter rate for HOLIDAY?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 10, 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 HOLIDAY before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter HOLIDAY?+
HOLIDAY charters from €139,000 per week in low season and €169,000 in high season — a difference of about 22% 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.
