About this yacht
MALTESE FALCON represents one of the most significant achievements in modern superyacht design and engineering. Delivered by Perini Navi in 2006 and recently completed a comprehensive refit exceeding 8.5 million euros, this 88-meter sailing yacht redefines luxury expedition cruising. Her revolutionary DynaRig system — a self-standing three-mast square rigger with 2,396 square meters of sail area — delivers exceptional performance while maintaining the comfort and amenities of a full motor yacht. Designed by Dykstra Naval Architects and styled by Ken Freivokh Design, the MALTESE FALCON charter experience combines cutting-edge naval architecture with thoughtful contemporary interiors that energize and comfort guests throughout.
Accommodation comprises six double cabins sleeping up to twelve guests, with a full professional crew of nineteen. The master suite occupies the full beam of the lower deck, featuring a spacious walk-in area and premium appointments. The interior redesign includes a new cinema room on the main deck and a reimagined Japanese-style dining room, reflecting the vessel's commitment to hospitality and cultural refinement.
Onboard amenities are exceptionally comprehensive. The iconic outdoor cinema projects films onto the lower sail from the flybridge — the world's largest outdoor cinema on water. Additional features include a state-of-the-art gym with MS Sculpt electric muscle stimulation technology, an on-board massage and treatment room, extensive indoor-outdoor bar areas, and alfresco dining spaces. The newly shaded main deck aft, fitted with cream marble detailing and contemporary lighting, provides elegant entertainment venues. An anti-jellyfish sea pool, RYA training center for watercraft, and an extensive selection of water toys complete the recreational offerings.
The MALTESE FALCON charter operates flexibly throughout the Mediterranean, with proven ocean-cruising capability. She has hosted royalty, sporting celebrities, and prominent families, establishing an unmatched pedigree as an exclusive charter asset. The yacht's spectacular art collection, exceptional sailing performance, and carefully curated crew deliver a transformative charter experience that balances world-class heritage with contemporary luxury. The 2023 refit ensures her systems, accommodations, and entertainment spaces meet the highest current standards for discerning charterers.

What is included in the charter rate for MALTESE FALCON?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 19, 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 MALTESE FALCON before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter MALTESE FALCON?+
MALTESE FALCON charters from €490,000 per week in low season and €580,000 in high season — a difference of about 18% 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.
