VESPER — 40m Alloy Yachts for Charter in Greece
About this yacht
VESPER is a 40-meter motor yacht built by New Zealand's acclaimed Alloy Yachts in 2009 and refreshed with a comprehensive 2022 refit, combining proven seaworthiness with contemporary luxury. Her interior styling by the renowned Donald Starkey Design creates a sophisticated and harmonious living environment that has earned industry recognition. She accommodates up to 12 guests across five thoughtfully appointed cabins—comprising one master suite, two double cabins, and two twin cabins—with flexibility to sleep ten overnight, making her equally suited to intimate family voyages or small corporate retreats.
The yacht's design prioritizes both comfort and capability. Her 2,400-nautical-mile range opens access to extended Mediterranean cruising and beyond, while her aluminum hull construction provides the strength and efficiency expected of Alloy Yachts' engineering pedigree. The main deck flows seamlessly from an inviting lounge and dining area to an aft deck that converts effortlessly between dining and cocktail configurations, perfect for entertaining. The sun deck features a Jacuzzi, bar, and BBQ facilities, while a foredeck lounge and hammock swing offer alternative spaces for relaxation and al fresco dining.
A 12.5-meter Novamarine chase tender enables extended exploration of secluded anchorages and coastal villages, supported by a professional crew of eight dedicated to delivering exceptional service. The yacht's recent updates ensure modern comfort and reliability throughout the charter experience, from the spacious master suite with dedicated office and walk-in wardrobe to each guest cabin's private en suite facilities.
VESPER charter availability reflects strong demand from discerning charterers seeking a well-maintained, versatile platform for Mediterranean exploration and beyond. Her combination of proven Alloy Yachts construction, award-winning interior design, impressive range, and comprehensive on-deck amenities positions her as an outstanding choice for those seeking refined cruising without compromise. Her weekly rate ranges from €126,000 to €142,000, commensurate with her capabilities and the quality of charter experience she delivers.

Who built VESPER and what are her specs?+

What is included in the charter rate for VESPER?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 8, 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 VESPER before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter VESPER?+
VESPER charters from €126,000 per week in low season and €142,000 in high season — a difference of about 13% 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.
