About this yacht
Motor yacht PARADISE is a distinguished 40.5-metre CRN Ancona masterpiece launched in 2006, now offering discerning clients the pinnacle of Mediterranean luxury charter. Recently completed with a comprehensive 2025 refit, she combines Italian shipbuilding excellence with contemporary design refinement, presenting a compelling opportunity for sophisticated travelers seeking proven pedigree and modern amenities in equal measure.
Designed by the esteemed Zuccon International Project, PARADISE's interior exudes understated elegance across three decks. The main deck features a semi-open-plan salon with a spacious lounge aft and formal dining area forward, creating natural flow for both intimate gatherings and larger entertaining. The full-beam master stateroom commands exceptional privacy and indulgence, while below deck two double and two twin suites provide flexible accommodation for up to twelve guests. The upper deck sky lounge serves as a serene retreat with panoramic vistas, seamlessly extending to outdoor entertaining spaces.
Outdoor living is central to the PARADISE experience. The main deck aft provides shaded respite, while the bridge deck delivers an inviting alfresco dining arrangement. The sundeck is comprehensively appointed with sun loungers, a Jacuzzi, and unobstructed sightlines—ideal for evening aperitifs or morning wellness routines. A professional crew of eight attends to all needs, ensuring service of the highest standard throughout your voyage.
The yacht's water sports offering is notably comprehensive. Guests may enjoy a Novurania tender, twin Seadoo jet skis, an eFoil, Seabobs, paddleboards, wakeboard, water skis, and an inflatable pool with flexi-teak surface. A beach club platform amplifies the onboard leisure experience, while modern connectivity—including STARLINK internet and extensive multimedia—keeps guests engaged without interruption.
PARADISE operates throughout the East Mediterranean, with particular strength in Greek waters: the crystalline Cyclades, the mythical Ionian Islands, and the rugged Turkish coastline all fall within her natural operating grounds. From Santorini's volcanic drama to Fiskardo's authentic charm, from hidden coves and ancient ruins to world-class dining and vibrant beach culture, charter itineraries unfold with remarkable variety. Base porting from Athens, she is ideally positioned for comprehensive Greek island exploration.
At €130,000–€150,000 weekly, PARADISE delivers exceptional value within the 40-metre luxury segment, particularly given her recent refit and design pedigree. She represents a refined blend of Italian craftsmanship, professional crew expertise, and curated water sports—ideal for charter clients seeking proven elegance across the Mediterranean's most coveted waters.

What is included in the charter rate for PARADISE?+
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 PARADISE before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter PARADISE?+
PARADISE charters from €130,000 per week in low season and €150,000 in high season — a difference of about 15% 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.
