RHEA

RHEA is a stunning 54-meter custom sailing yacht built by Ark Yachts in 2017 and recently refitted in 2023, representing an exceptional choice for large group charters and exclusive events throughout the Mediterranean and Caribbean. This magnificent staysail ketch embodies the perfect balance between outstanding sailing performance, stability, and spacious comfort—qualities that define the Ark Yachts pedigree and make RHEA charter an increasingly sought-after experience for discerning charterers.

Designed as a sistership to the equally acclaimed CHRONOS, RHEA accommodates up to 26 overnight guests across 13 thoughtfully appointed double cabins, each with individually adjustable air-conditioning and ensuite bathrooms. The yacht's interior spaces maximize both comfort and sociability, featuring a raised deckhouse salon with floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows that flood the dining and seating areas with natural light. Additional alfresco dining and relaxation spaces on the aft deck, combined with a fully equipped bar and spacious teak decks totaling approximately 1,000 square meters of sail area, create abundant opportunities for guests to unwind in style.

With a crew of ten—including captain, chef, engineer, deck crew, and stewardesses—RHEA delivers attentive, professional service throughout your charter. Powered by Volvo 600 hp engines and equipped with three generators, the yacht cruises at 11 knots with a maximum speed of 15 knots, offering excellent seakeeping characteristics and modern navigation technology throughout. Her 2023 refit ensured all systems meet current safety and comfort standards, while the classic design philosophy preserves the elegance and sailing character that distinguishes Ark yachts from contemporary competitors.

RHEA operates primarily from Santorin as her base port, with established cruising grounds throughout the Greek islands, Mediterranean, and Caribbean. This makes her ideally suited for immersive explorations of the Cyclades, Ionian waters, or Caribbean island-hopping itineraries. Whether hosting a large family reunion, corporate gathering, or intimate group of friends seeking to explore multiple destinations under sail, RHEA charter delivers an unforgettable experience combining classical sailing aesthetics, generous accommodation, and the personalized service synonymous with Divas Yachts.
