TIMBUKTU — 42m Baglietto for Charter in Athens Riviera

TIMBUKTU is a sophisticated 42-meter Baglietto motor yacht, originally delivered in 2009 and comprehensively refitted in 2021, that exemplifies Italian craftsmanship combined with internationally acclaimed contemporary design. Her interior was conceived by the renowned John Bannenberg studio, whose award-winning approach to superyacht design establishes a benchmark in functional elegance and spatial intelligence. The naval architecture by Francesco Paszkowski delivers a well-proportioned semi-displacement hull that balances comfort at cruising speed with exceptional performance—she maintains an impressive 15 to 16 knots while cruising, yet achieves 23 knots at maximum speed, ensuring efficient transits between Mediterranean destinations without sacrificing the relaxed pace that defines luxury vacationing.

Accommodating up to 11 guests overnight across five splendid staterooms—including a full-beam master suite on the main deck, two additional double cabins, two twin cabins, and one convertible cabin—TIMBUKTU offers versatility for families, couples, or small groups seeking privacy and comfort. Her 8.5-meter beam creates generous interior volumes that feel spacious rather than cramped, a hallmark of intelligent Bannenberg design philosophy. The yacht features multiple indoor and outdoor entertaining areas: a skylounge bar, numerous dining possibilities, and expansive deck areas including a sundeck with Jacuzzi, all thoughtfully appointed with contemporary furnishings and modern amenities including WiFi, stabilizers at anchor and underway, and a fully equipped gymnasium.

The permanent crew of nine—including an accomplished chef—maintains TIMBUKTU to exacting standards and brings an excellent charter reputation born of meticulous attention to guest experience. An impressive collection of water toys enhances active relaxation: twin Seadoo jet skis, Seabob electric underwater scooters, hover boards, paddle boards, snorkeling equipment with compressor, and a custom 10.5-meter Scorpion tender capable of accommodating all guests, enabling exploration of remote anchorages and secluded coves throughout the Mediterranean.

Based in Athens, TIMBUKTU operates seamlessly throughout both the West and East Mediterranean, from the Greek islands and Turkey through Croatia to the French Riviera and Italian coasts. Her shallow draft and responsive handling make her equally suited to well-established yachting destinations and hidden archipelagos. A TIMBUKTU charter offers the rare combination of design pedigree, meticulous maintenance, and professional crew expertise—the foundation of an unforgettable Mediterranean escape at rates from €139,000 to €159,000 per week depending on season.
