RUBY — 27m Tecnomar for Charter in Athens Riviera
Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
RUBY is a sophisticated performance motor yacht built by Tecnomar in 2006 and recently undergone comprehensive refurbishment in 2023, combining Italian craftsmanship with contemporary styling. At 27 meters in length, this vessel offers the perfect balance between intimate luxury and spirited sea-keeping capability, with interior design by LUCA DINI Design & Architecture that creates an inviting and stylish onboard environment. Her distinctive character lies in her exceptional performance credentials—twin MTU engines deliver a maximum speed of 40 knots with a comfortable cruising speed of 28-30 knots, making her ideal for guests seeking to explore multiple destinations without sacrificing comfort.
The accommodation comprises four well-appointed cabins sleeping up to eight guests, including a full-beam master suite and VIP cabin alongside two twin cabins, thoughtfully arranged across the lower deck to maximize privacy and natural light. Topside, RUBY presents generous living spaces designed for relaxation and alfresco entertaining. The main deck features an aft-facing sunbed paired with forward-facing seating, a raised dining table, and additional alfresco seating, while a broad sunbed forward offers views across the bow. The lower deck swim platform provides easy beach access, with a shallow draft of just 1.5 meters allowing exploration of secluded anchorages throughout the Mediterranean.
Guest amenities reflect contemporary expectations: full air conditioning throughout, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a comprehensive collection of water toys including a tender, personal watercraft, Seabobs, SUPs, and snorkeling equipment. The yacht's versatility makes her equally suited to family holidays, small corporate groups, and couples seeking an active, exploration-focused experience. A professional crew of four manages all service details, allowing guests to focus on their vacation.
Based in Athens, RUBY operates throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, with particular strength in the Greek islands—the Cyclades, Dodecanese, Ionian Islands, and wider Greek cruising grounds. Whether seeking the bustling energy of Mykonos and Paros, the quieter charm of the Sporades, or the historic richness of Rhodes and Crete, RUBY charter clients benefit from superior speed and maneuverability that other vessels in this class cannot match. Weekly charter rates begin at €29,900, with seasonal variations reflecting regional demand.

What is included in the charter rate for RUBY?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 4, 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 RUBY before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter RUBY?+
RUBY charters from €29,000 per week in low season and €33,000 in high season — a difference of about 14% 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.
