NINO — 41m Cantieri di Pisa for Charter in Athens Riviera
Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
NINO represents a rare expression of Italian maritime excellence and exclusive design pedigree. Built by the acclaimed Cantieri di Pisa in 2009, she is one of only two Akhir 41 models ever constructed—a distinction that places her among the most sought-after yachts in her class. Her semi-displacement GRP hull combines elegant, contemporary styling with proven seaworthiness, while her 41-metre length and sophisticated silhouette make her instantly recognizable in any anchorage.
The interior design by Cristiano Gatto exemplifies understated luxury and refined comfort. NINO accommodates up to 12 guests across five beautifully appointed cabins, including a full-beam master suite with a private office and spa-style bathroom, one VIP cabin, and three generously proportioned guest cabins configured as doubles and twins. A professional crew of seven ensures seamless service throughout your voyage. The yacht's panoramic windows and abundance of natural light create an atmosphere that feels more like a floating villa than a vessel—an essential quality for discerning charterers seeking privacy and effortless living.
Outdoor spaces are equally impressive. The expansive flybridge serves as the social heart of the yacht, offering ample room for lounging, informal dining, and sunset entertaining. The generous aft deck invites extended meals with panoramic views, while the full-beam swim platform—equipped with a hydraulic lift—provides effortless access to the water. These extensive deck areas are thoughtfully designed for seamless transitions between sun and shade, activity and relaxation.
Built for contemporary cruising, NINO features zero-speed stabilizers that deliver exceptional comfort both at anchor and underway, with a cruising speed of 22 knots and a maximum speed of 29 knots. Air conditioning and WiFi throughout ensure modern comfort, while her well-appointed toy collection—including a Williams sport jet tender, Seabobs, paddle boards, jet skis, and complete water sports equipment—caters to active holidays.
Undergoing a comprehensive interior and exterior refit in 2026, NINO is emerging with an entirely revised layout and enhanced sophistication. Based in Athens, she is ideally positioned for exploring the Greek islands, Turkey, and the broader East Mediterranean, regions that showcase her capabilities and design philosophy. NINO charter represents the pinnacle of discerning Mediterranean and Eastern seaboard yacht experiences, offering both the proven heritage of a Cantieri di Pisa–built vessel and the exclusivity that true connoisseurs demand.

What is included in the charter rate for NINO?+
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 NINO before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter NINO?+
NINO charters from €95,000 per week in low season and €120,000 in high season — a difference of about 26% 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.
