About this yacht
Vesta is a stunning 2023 Azimut Grande 27M motor yacht representing the pinnacle of contemporary Italian yacht design and craftsmanship. At 26.78 metres in length with a generous beam of 6.59 metres, she delivers the perfect balance of sophisticated styling, spacious entertaining areas, and refined comfort for discerning charter guests.
The yacht's distinctive exterior, conceived by naval architect Stefano Righini, showcases bold angles and an exceptional arrangement of windows that create visual drama while flooding her interiors with natural light. Her vast flybridge is one of her most compelling features—a true outdoor sanctuary featuring comfortable seating, an al fresco dining area with a dedicated wetbar, and a retractable hardtop roof that provides flexibility between sun and shade. Sun loungers positioned aft offer the ideal vantage point for watching Mediterranean sunsets.
Interior spaces were designed by the acclaimed Salvagni Architetti studio and reflect a commitment to both elegance and practicality. The layout includes a full-beam master suite on the main deck with a private dressing room, two additional VIP cabins, and two twin cabins, accommodating ten guests across five suites. Every cabin has been thoughtfully appointed to ensure maximum comfort during extended cruising.
Powered by twin MAN V12 engines producing 1900 horsepower each, Vesta achieves a cruising speed of 21 knots with a maximum speed of 28 knots, allowing guests to cover meaningful distances while maintaining fuel efficiency. Both at-anchor and underway stabilisers provide exceptional comfort in varied sea conditions, while comprehensive air conditioning and complimentary WiFi ensure guests remain connected and comfortable throughout their voyage.
The yacht is exceptionally well-equipped for an active charter programme, featuring an impressive collection of water toys for both relaxation and adventure. Whether anchoring in the crystalline bays of the Cyclades, exploring the Greek islands from her Athens base, or discovering hidden coves throughout the Western Mediterranean, Vesta provides an unparalleled platform for unforgettable luxury cruising. A professional crew of four stands ready to deliver personalised service and expert local knowledge, ensuring every aspect of your charter is tailored to your preferences.
Vesta charter rates begin at €75,000 per week, with availability commencing from 2026.

What is included in the charter rate for Vesta?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 4, 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 Vesta before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter Vesta?+
Vesta charters from €75,000 per week in low season and €85,000 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.
