Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
MAKANI is a 24-meter Azimut 77S motor yacht built in 2017 that exemplifies contemporary European yacht design and construction. Designed with understated elegance by interior stylist Carlo Galeazzi, she creates a refined yet functional environment that appeals to discerning charterers seeking both comfort and style. Her GRP hull and superstructure are built to Azimut's exacting standards, and her lightweight construction enables impressive performance with a top speed of 35 knots and a shallow draft of just 1.64 meters—ideal for accessing Greece's protected anchorages and hidden coves.
The yacht's accommodation arranges nine guests across four spacious en-suite cabins: a master cabin on the lower deck featuring a walk-in wardrobe, desk, and en-suite facilities; a VIP cabin with en-suite; and two twin cabins, one convertible to a double, with an additional pullman berth option. This flexible layout ensures that groups of varying composition can be comfortably accommodated without compromising privacy or convenience.
MAKANI excels in outdoor living. The expansive foredeck features a generous C-shaped sofa and dining table positioned forward of the helm station, with canvas shading available during peak sun hours and comfortable wide sun pads at the bow. The main deck aft includes an elegant formal dining area with sofa, raised table, and additional seating, while a generous swim platform invites water activities. The flybridge offers yet another guest area with settee seating and aft-facing sun pads, providing multiple venues for guests to socialize, dine, or simply enjoy the Mediterranean light.
Her mechanical systems—triple 1000hp Volvo D13-IPS engines with dual 27 kW Onan generators—deliver dependable performance and efficiency for extended cruising. An excellent selection of water toys and a spacious tender garage further enhance the guest experience.
MAKANI charter operates year-round from her base in Athens, giving guests access to the Cyclades, the Saronic Gulf, and the Ionian Islands. Her professional crew of four ensures seamless service throughout your voyage. With weekly rates ranging from EUR 36,000 to EUR 42,000 depending on season, MAKANI offers an outstanding value proposition for those seeking to explore Greece's most coveted waters in genuine comfort and style.

What is included in the charter rate for MAKANI?+
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 MAKANI before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter MAKANI?+
MAKANI charters from €36,000 per week in low season and €42,000 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.
