About this yacht
SALTY is a 23.85-meter Alalunga motor yacht that exemplifies the refined elegance expected from this distinguished Italian builder. Delivered in 2006 and recently completed a comprehensive 2025 refit, she emerges in exceptional condition, offering discerning charter guests a contemporary yet relaxed onboard experience perfectly suited to both family groups and small parties seeking sophisticated Mediterranean cruising.
Built to Alalunga's exacting standards, SALTY accommodates ten guests across four versatile cabins, including a well-appointed master suite, a VIP cabin, and two additional guest cabins. The flexible layout ensures thoughtful comfort throughout, with each stateroom featuring modern entertainment systems and serene décor. Her 5.8-meter beam maximizes interior volume for this size category, creating an impression of generous space while maintaining the agility and efficiency of a true explorer-class motor yacht.
The heart of SALTY is her contemporary main salon, which flows seamlessly into the dining area, creating an inviting social hub ideal for both intimate meals and relaxed evenings at anchor. Light-filled lounges and finishes throughout reflect the recent refit's modern aesthetic, while her cruising speed of 21 knots and maximum speed of 26 knots provide excellent range across the East Mediterranean. Powered by twin Caterpillar engines producing 1,670 horsepower each, she delivers the reliable performance and fuel efficiency Alalunga yachts are known for.
For active guests, SALTY carries an impressive complement of water toys: a 4-meter Zodiac tender with 50 hp engine, a 2024 Seadoo Spark jet ski, Seabob underwater scooter, inflatable platforms, multiple paddleboards, kayak, water skis, wakeboard, and complete snorkeling equipment. Teak decks, a flybridge, bathing platform, and comprehensive navigation systems including radar and dual GPS plotters round out her well-considered specifications.
Operating from Athens, SALTY offers excellent positioning for exploring Greece's iconic cruising grounds—the Ionian Islands, Cyclades, Dodecanese, and broader East Mediterranean—with her professional crew of four delivering attentive, personalized service refined through repeat-charter relationships. Weekly charter rates begin at €30,000, making her an exceptional value for a recently refitted Alalunga of this caliber. SALTY charter promises the effortless blend of contemporary comfort, proven seaworthiness, and Mediterranean authenticity that discerning clients expect from a boutique charter experience.

What is included in the charter rate for SALTY?+
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 SALTY before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter SALTY?+
SALTY charters from €30,000 per week in low season and €35,000 in high season — a difference of about 17% 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.
