JAZ — 51.5m Amels for Charter in Athens Riviera
Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
JAZ is a sophisticated 51.5-metre motor yacht built by the prestigious Dutch shipyard Amels in 1997 and most recently refitted in 2025, positioning her as a classically-proportioned vessel refined for contemporary cruising. Her timeless design, combined with a comprehensive recent overhaul, makes her an exceptional choice for discerning charter guests seeking both elegance and reliability in the Mediterranean and beyond.
The yacht's interiors were originally conceived with refined minimalism in mind, enhanced by distinguished furnishings including Gucci signature armchairs, Hermès fabrics, Missoni cushions, and Baccarat crystal—a curated aesthetic that balances sophistication with understated luxury. Accommodation for up to twelve charter guests is arranged across six cabins: a full-beam Owner's Suite on the main deck featuring a king-size bed and walk-in wardrobe, three additional queen-bed cabins, one twin stateroom with a Pullman berth, and a further double cabin with a single bed. Each cabin is appointed with en-suite facilities and climate control, ensuring comfort for families or groups of friends.
The outdoor spaces exemplify thoughtful yacht design. The sundeck showcases a Jacuzzi surrounded by generous lounging areas with unobstructed sea views, while the main deck aft features an elevated dining table beneath a protective overhang, ideal for alfresco meals. A substantial swim platform on the lower deck opens directly onto the sea, and the foredeck provides secure storage for tenders and water toys. Advanced zero-speed stabilizers enhance comfort at anchor, a feature increasingly valued by charter guests seeking a serene experience.
JAZ cruises efficiently at 13 knots with an impressive 4,000-nautical-mile range, striking the balance between purposeful transit and economical fuel consumption. Her water-toy collection—including two jet-skis, a Seabob, snorkeling equipment, and paddleboards—caters to active guests, while the salon's built-in entertainment systems serve those preferring relaxation. A professional crew of eleven manages all aspects of daily operations and hospitality.
Based in Athens, JAZ charter is available year-round across the West Mediterranean, East Mediterranean, and Middle East regions, with seasonal rates from €205,000 to €245,000 per week plus expenses. Whether cruising the Greek islands, the Croatian coast, or further afield, JAZ delivers the refined experience expected of a well-maintained Amels yacht with thoroughly modern amenities.

What is included in the charter rate for JAZ?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 11, 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 JAZ before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter JAZ?+
JAZ charters from €205,000 per week in low season and €245,000 in high season — a difference of about 20% 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.
