WHY — 30m Posillipo for Charter in Athens Riviera
Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
Motor yacht WHY represents an exceptional choice for WHY charter in the Eastern Mediterranean. This 30.2-metre Posillipo flybridge yacht, built in 2005 and benefitting from a comprehensive refit in 2023, combines elegant Italian craftsmanship with practical cruising capability. Her distinctive champagne-coloured hull provides immediate visual distinction, complemented by a clean white superstructure and thoughtfully designed deck layout that prioritizes guest comfort and al fresco entertainment.
The interior styling by acclaimed Italian designer Michela Reverberi creates an inviting environment across four ensuite guest cabins—comprising two double cabins and two convertible cabins—accommodating up to ten guests with a professional crew of six. Each cabin is appointed with careful attention to comfort and convenience, while generous communal spaces ensure guests rarely feel confined. Air conditioning throughout and comprehensive WiFi connectivity maintain modern comforts while exploring remote anchorages.
WHY's exterior spaces exemplify her appeal for extended cruising. The sun deck provides generous sun pad lounging, while the flybridge features a retractable bimini shade and elegant curved dining setting that adapts to Mediterranean weather. The main deck aft offers alternative outdoor dining with flexible seating arrangements, and integrated steps lead directly to the swim platform—the gateway to water-based pursuits. The yacht carries a 4.2-metre tender, jet ski, and Seabobs, ensuring guests enjoy both tender explorations and active water sports.
Powered by twin MTU 16V 91 2000HP engines, WHY achieves a cruising speed of 22 knots with maximum speed of 27 knots, enabling efficient transit between the Greek islands while maintaining excellent fuel economy. Her moderate beam and modest draught provide flexibility in accessing smaller ports and anchorages throughout the Cyclades, Dodecanese, and Ionian Islands—regions where her size offers the perfect balance between spacious accommodation and accessibility.
Based in Athens, WHY operates throughout Greece and the broader Eastern Mediterranean, making her ideally positioned for classic Aegean itineraries. Whether you seek to anchor in secluded Cycladic bays, explore the historical islands of the Dodecanese, or navigate the emerald waters around Skiathos and Rhodes, this Posillipo yacht delivers the ideal platform for refined Mediterranean cruising. Her recent refit ensures modern systems and finishes meet the expectations of discerning charterers, while her proven design and construction promise reliability throughout your voyage.

What is included in the charter rate for WHY?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 6, 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 WHY before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter WHY?+
WHY charters from €54,000 per week in low season and €59,000 in high season — a difference of about 9% 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.
