SAMELI — 23m for Charter in Athens Riviera

SAMELI represents a rare fusion of high-performance sailing capabilities and luxury accommodation, making her an exceptional choice for discerning charter clients seeking both speed and comfort in the East Mediterranean. Built in 2016 by Balance/Two Oceans Marine and comprehensively refitted in 2023, this 23-meter catamaran stands apart as one of the fastest vessels in her class, engineered to deliver outstanding sailing performance that distinguishes her from conventional motor yachts of comparable size.

The yacht's design pedigree is noteworthy: her exterior was conceived by award-winning catamaran designer Anton Du Toit, while her 2023 interior refresh introduced a serene, minimalist aesthetic by renowned yacht designer Apostolos Angelopoulos. This thoughtful redesign balances ultra-lightweight construction with sophisticated finishes, creating an environment that feels both contemporary and welcoming. The distinctive sea-level panoramic windows flood the interior with natural light and provide unobstructed views of the surrounding seascape—a hallmark of her catamaran design.

Performance is SAMELI's defining characteristic. Her ultra-lightweight engineering and optimized sail plan enable her to achieve average speeds of 12 to 15 knots under sail with the code zero deployed, with documented speeds reaching 25 knots in favorable conditions. This translates to a genuinely dynamic cruising experience for those who value both the romance of sailing and the practical advantages of speed. Under power, she maintains comfortable 10-knot cruising speeds, offering flexibility across varying sea conditions.

Accommodating up to ten guests across five double cabins, SAMELI caters to families and multi-couple charters with ease. A professional crew of four attends to all onboard needs, ensuring seamless service throughout your voyage. Built with only the finest materials throughout, the yacht combines minimalist design sensibilities with genuine luxury—evident in every carefully considered detail from furnishings to galley provisions.

Based in Athens, SAMELI operates throughout Greece and the broader East Mediterranean, offering year-round charter opportunities. Whether exploring the Cyclades, cruising the Ionian Islands, or venturing further afield, this vessel delivers the dual promise of exhilarating sailing performance and refined onboard living. SAMELI charter experiences begin at €49,000 per week, positioning her as a compelling option for those prioritizing both performance capability and luxurious comfort.
