About this yacht
L'EQUINOX is a refined 37.3-metre motor yacht built by the prestigious Dutch shipyard Heesen in 2006, combining timeless elegance with modern comfort. The vessel underwent an extensive refit in 2017, refreshing both her interior and exterior to contemporary standards while preserving the sophisticated character that defines her appeal. With naval architecture and interior design by Omega Architects, L'EQUINOX represents the kind of thoughtful craftsmanship that discerning clients expect from a Heesen yacht of this calibre.
The yacht accommodates 12 guests across five thoughtfully appointed cabins: a full-beam master suite on the main deck forward, three VIP double cabins, one twin cabin, and two pullman berths on the lower deck. Each guest cabin features private facilities, ensuring privacy and comfort throughout a charter. Her interiors embrace a refined aesthetic with neutral soft furnishings and large windows flooding the main salon and formal dining areas with natural light. The main salon features a generous leather sofa and occasional seating, while the elegant round dining table seats guests comfortably for memorable meals.

A spacious fold-down swim platform facilitates effortless water access, while the sundeck features an on-deck Jacuzzi and grill—ideal for alfresco entertaining. A secluded sunning station on the foredeck provides privacy for those seeking quiet moments. The yacht is well-equipped for active guests, offering an impressive array of water toys and underway stabilisers for smooth cruising. Practical amenities including WiFi and air-conditioning throughout ensure connectivity and comfort during extended charters.

Based in Athens, the yacht operates throughout the Mediterranean and Turkey, offering year-round availability at EUR 93,000 to EUR 99,000 per week depending on season.

What is included in the charter rate for L'EQUINOX?+
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 L'EQUINOX before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter L'EQUINOX?+
L'EQUINOX charters from €93,000 per week in low season and €99,000 in high season — a difference of about 6% 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.
