SOMETHING COOL — 45.5m CRN Ancona for Charter in Athens Riviera
Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
SOMETHING COOL is a 45.5-metre classic motor yacht built by the esteemed CRN Ancona shipyard in 1981, combining timeless nautical design with contemporary comforts following a comprehensive 2023 refit. This solidly constructed vessel retains her elegant classic profile while offering thoroughly modernised onboard facilities—a compelling proposition for discerning charterers seeking character without compromise on amenities.
The yacht accommodates 12 guests across seven suites with impressive flexibility. The main deck features a master suite with queen bed and en-suite bathroom, while the notably creative "Fairytale" suite offers three single beds, ideal for mixed-group dynamics. The lower deck comprises a VIP suite with queen bed and bathtub, three twin cabins with single berths (one including a pullman and bathtub), and a double suite, each with en-suite facilities. A professional crew of ten, including captain and chef, manages day-to-day operations and tailors your itinerary to your preferences.
The 2023 refit brought substantial upgrades across systems and guest-facing areas. At-anchor and underway stabilisers ensure comfort whether moored or cruising, while full air conditioning and throughout WiFi cater to modern expectations. The onboard gym allows guests to maintain routines, and generous water-sports amenities—including two Sea-Doo Jet-Skis, two SEABOBs, paddleboards, kayaks, waterskis, and multiple towables—ensure active days on the water.
Twin Deutz 747 HP engines deliver a cruising speed of 12 knots with a maximum speed of 13 knots, offering efficient passage-making across Mediterranean and Caribbean waters. Her 7.56-metre beam provides satisfying interior volumes and stability underway.
SOMETHING COOL operates from Athens as her base port, positioning her ideally for Cycladic explorations and broader Mediterranean cruising. Her proven itineraries span the Greek islands, Croatia, Turkey, the South of France, Spain, and the Caribbean, with cruising grounds including the Red Sea and Middle East. The flexible cabin layout, comprehensive water-sports collection, and crew's dedication to personalised service transform each charter into a carefully crafted escape tailored to your desires. Available for weekly charter from EUR 84,000 to EUR 89,000, SOMETHING COOL represents exceptional value in the classic motor yacht segment.

What is included in the charter rate for SOMETHING COOL?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 10, 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 SOMETHING COOL before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter SOMETHING COOL?+
SOMETHING COOL charters from €84,000 per week in low season and €89,000 in high season — a difference of about 6% 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.
