PRINCESS MELDA — 42m Bodrum Shipyard for Charter in Greece
Charter destination
Bodrum, Turkey
About this yacht
Princess Melda represents a striking new addition to the luxury charter market, delivering contemporary elegance with the precision craftsmanship of a modern build. Completed in 2024 by the Bodrum Shipyard, this 42-meter motor yacht combines innovative design with practical luxury, making her an excellent choice for discerning charterers seeking a fresh, well-appointed vessel in the Eastern Mediterranean.
The yacht's interior styling comes from the acclaimed Dutch designer Guido de Groot, whose thoughtful approach creates spaces that feel both refined and welcoming. With accommodation for 12 guests across six cabins—including a master suite, VIP cabin, and four additional double and convertible cabins—Princess Melda is well-suited to extended family voyages or small corporate retreats. The flexible cabin configuration adapts easily to varying guest compositions, while the intimate beach club provides a relaxed social hub that captures the essence of Mediterranean leisure.
Operationally, Princess Melda is managed by a professional crew of nine, ensuring seamless service and attention to detail throughout your charter. The yacht's modern systems and recent delivery mean you benefit from the latest navigation technology and comfort amenities, with minimal concerns about mechanical reliability or maintenance interruptions. Her size—substantial enough for serious cruising yet nimble enough to access boutique anchorages—positions her perfectly for exploring Turkey's dramatic coastline, the Greek islands, and beyond.
Charter rates range from €110,000 to €155,000 per week depending on season, positioning Princess Melda competitively within her class for the quality and newness she offers. Summer cruising grounds encompass Greece and Turkey, regions where her shallow draft and contemporary design allow access to hidden coves and lesser-known ports that larger vessels cannot reach. Whether you're seeking an active exploration itinerary with daily swimming and water sports, or a more leisurely progression between established ports with time ashore, Princess Melda's capabilities and comfort standards support any vision.
The PRINCESS MELDA charter experience reflects modern superyacht expectations: exceptional build quality, thoughtful interior design, and the operational reliability of a newly delivered vessel. Contact our team to discuss availability and tailor an itinerary to your preferences.
