About this yacht
OPTIMISM is a striking 37-metre Gulf Craft motor yacht delivered in 2023, embodying the sophisticated design philosophy of the Majesty 120 platform. Designed by Cristiano Gatto Design, she presents a contemporary aesthetic marked by clean lines, abundant natural light, and a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living spaces—all hallmarks of modern superyacht luxury.
The tri-deck layout maximises both volume and guest experience across three distinct exterior levels. The sun deck showcases a forward jacuzzi with panoramic views, amidships lounge seating, and a sit-up bar, while the bridge deck aft is dedicated to al fresco dining with flexible table configurations. The foredeck provides an expansive expanse of cushioned sun pads, and the water's edge beach club with comprehensive water toys invites guests to embrace the al fresco lifestyle. Throughout, the design balances formal entertaining with intimate relaxation.
Below decks, OPTIMISM accommodates twelve guests across six well-appointed staterooms. The full-beam main deck master suite features a king bed, private lounge, desk, and luxurious marble en-suite with dual sinks and generous shower. The lower deck comprises five guest cabins: a forward VIP with queen bed and walk-in closet, two mirrored queen staterooms, and two convertible twin cabins. Each stateroom offers ample storage and marble-appointed bathrooms, ensuring comfort across group and multi-family charters.
The main salon features open-plan design with neutral tones accented by navy and light wood, whilst plush seating and a pop-up television create a formal yet inviting gathering space. The skylounge serves as an ideal retreat, with a generous L-shaped sofa, full wet bar, and sliding doors to the bridge deck. A professional crew of eight is dedicated to delivering exceptional service and maintaining the highest standards of hospitality.
OPTIMISM operates with at-anchor and underway stabilisers, full air conditioning, and comprehensive WiFi connectivity. With a range of approximately 1,326 nautical miles and a home port in Cannes, she is ideally positioned for Mediterranean exploration and offers excellent operational efficiency for extended cruising. The OPTIMISM charter experience delivers the perfect blend of contemporary design, spacious accommodation, and seamless service for discerning clientele seeking a family-friendly and engaging charter environment.

What is included in the charter rate for OPTIMISM?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 8, 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 OPTIMISM before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter OPTIMISM?+
OPTIMISM charters from €200,000 per week in low season and €225,000 in high season — a difference of about 13% 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.
