About this yacht
MARIU is a distinctive 49.9-meter motor yacht built by Codecasa in 2003 and originally designed by and for Giorgio Armani himself. This heritage of luxury and aesthetic refinement is evident throughout her interiors, where Armani's minimalist vision translates into carefully curated textures and tones—richly grained woods, soft reflective aluminium ceilings, supple leather, and characteristic wide teak floorboards contrasted with bleached oak panelling. The yacht's design philosophy prioritizes elegance without excess, creating an atmosphere of serene sophistication that appeals to discerning charterers seeking understated luxury.
Accommodating up to 12 guests across six well-appointed cabins—including a master suite, VIP stateroom, and four additional double cabins with flexible convertible options—MARIU is thoughtfully arranged for both intimate family voyages and larger social gatherings. An elevator connects all four decks, providing seamless access and accessibility that distinguishes her from comparable vessels. The main deck features recently completed renovations, including the installation of a 200-bottle wine cellar that replaced the former office, reflecting the yacht's commitment to refined entertaining.
The sun deck is notably generous, offering both expansive open-air sunbathing areas with flexible shading and an inviting Jacuzzi forward—ideal spaces for sundowners and relaxation. The main saloons maintain open-plan configurations that enhance the sense of space and light, while staterooms embrace the minimalist aesthetic that defines the Armani sensibility.
For active guests, MARIU offers an exceptional water sports programme. The yacht carries a comprehensive collection of tenders and toys—from a 9.5-meter chase tender and jet tender to SeaBobs, wakeboards, kiteboards with multiple sails, water skis, windsurfing equipment, paddleboards, and towed inflatables. MARIU is an RYA training establishment for personal water craft, underscoring her suitability for water sports enthusiasts of all levels.
A professional crew of eleven manages all operations, ensuring seamless service throughout your charter. The yacht's proven track record hosting celebrations during Monaco Grand Prix season speaks to her credentials as an entertainer's vessel. Based in Athens, MARIU charter availability extends throughout the Mediterranean, offering an exceptional platform for luxury exploration and refined entertaining.
