Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
SEAHORSE stands as a masterwork from the renowned Dutch shipyard Amels, representing the pinnacle of luxury motor yacht design and craftsmanship. Built in 1999 and comprehensively refitted in 2019, this 53-meter vessel won the International Superyacht Society Award for Best Power Interior in 2000, a testament to her exceptional design pedigree. Her interiors were conceived by the celebrated designer Terence Disdale, who shaped both the interior aesthetic and exterior profile, creating a yacht that seamlessly blends timeless elegance with contemporary comfort.
Accommodating up to twelve guests across six ensuite staterooms, SEAHORSE offers a flexible layout that adapts beautifully to families, groups of friends, and corporate parties alike. The master suite commands a full-beam presence, while two VIP cabins with double beds can be joined via an adjoining sliding door to form a grand suite. Additional twin staterooms and a semi-double cabin ensure privacy and comfort for all guests. The interiors showcase Terence Disdale's refined sensibility, characterized by soft textures, pale leathers, curated artwork, and iconic Giobagnara leather furnishings—creating an atmosphere of understated luxury throughout.
The entertainment spaces deserve particular mention. The main salon and formal dining area offer open views and elegant proportions, while the upper salon transforms into a sophisticated private cinema, ideal for intimate evening gatherings. Outdoors, the generously proportioned sundeck features a Jacuzzi, open-air gym, and abundant lounging areas, all anchored by an extended swim platform that facilitates seamless access to the water and an impressive array of water toys.
SEAHORSE combines graceful performance with versatile cruising capabilities. With a cruising speed of 12 knots and maximum speed of 14 knots, she maintains an impressive range of 6,800 nautical miles, enabling extended explorations throughout the Mediterranean and beyond. Zero-speed stabilizers ensure a smooth experience while anchored in the Greek and Turkish islands, her traditional operating grounds. Water enthusiasts will appreciate the available selection of jet skis, Seabobs, diving and snorkeling equipment, paddleboards, kayaks, and fishing gear—all maintained by a professional crew of thirteen.
Based in Athens, SEAHORSE is available for charter from €190,000 per week, offering an unparalleled Mediterranean experience that combines award-winning design, flexible accommodation, and the refined service standards expected of a true luxury vessel.

What is included in the charter rate for SEAHORSE?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 13, 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 SEAHORSE before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter SEAHORSE?+
SEAHORSE charters from €190,000 per week in low season and €250,000 in high season — a difference of about 32% 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.
