About this yacht
MANU is a beautifully appointed 21-metre Azimut motor yacht built in 2004 and recently refitted in 2023, offering the ideal blend of Italian design elegance and practical comfort for discerning charter clients seeking to explore Greece's Ionian Islands. Based year-round in Zakynthos, this vessel combines contemporary styling with generous outdoor living spaces, making her an exceptional choice for families and groups seeking flexibility and accessible luxury.
The interior showcases a light, airy aesthetic featuring pale cream leather furnishings and high-gloss wood paneling that creates an atmosphere of understated sophistication. The main deck saloon, anchored by two opposing sofas and a full entertainment system, flows naturally into a raised formal dining area forward on the port side, while the well-appointed galley sits to starboard. Soft blues complement the relaxed ambience, and panoramic windows flood the space with natural light, creating an open and welcoming environment that immediately sets the tone for a comfortable charter experience.
Accommodation is provided in four en-suite cabins below decks—one master double, one VIP double, and two twin cabins—comfortably sleeping up to eight guests. This flexible configuration makes MANU particularly well-suited to multi-generational family charters or groups of friends seeking private cabin sanctuaries.
The true character of this Azimut charter yacht emerges in her exterior spaces. An expansive aft deck, shaded and adjacent to the salon, features alfresco dining and generous seating, while wrap-around decks lead forward to a welcoming foredeck with a double sunpad. This abundance of deck area, combined with her 23-knot cruising speed, makes MANU ideal for island-hopping throughout the stunning Ionian archipelago. Her comprehensive tender and water sports package—including a 3.4-metre tender, jetski, waterski, wakeboard, and full snorkeling equipment—enables seamless exploration of secluded beaches and hidden coves.
The MANU charter experience is enhanced by practical onboard amenities including WiFi, satellite television throughout, a home cinema system, and comprehensive entertainment options. Her proven charter track record, combined with efficient crew operations and year-round availability from Zakynthos, ensures a reliable and memorable Mediterranean escape. Charter rates range from EUR 18,500 to EUR 21,000 per week, positioning this Italian-built motor yacht as a genuinely accessible entry point to sophisticated Greek island cruising.

What is included in the charter rate for MANU?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 2, 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 MANU before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter MANU?+
MANU charters from €18,500 per week in low season and €21,000 in high season — a difference of about 14% 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.
