Charter destination
Athens, Greece
About this yacht
WIND OF FORTUNE is a beautifully preserved classic motor yacht built by the esteemed Italian shipyard CRN Ancona in 1981, with a comprehensive 2020 restoration that has renewed her systems and finishes while maintaining the timeless elegance of her original design. At 52.1 metres in length, she accommodates twelve charter guests across seven en-suite cabins—comprising two doubles and five twins—making her an exceptionally well-proportioned vessel for groups seeking both privacy and social space. The interiors were designed by the respected Merritt Knowles Design Group, who brought a sophisticated, classic aesthetic reminiscent of 1980s luxury to her accommodation and public areas.
The yacht's layout prioritizes guest comfort and entertainment. The main deck aft features a generous wet bar and U-shaped seating arrangement surrounding a raised table, with additional stern seating protected by all-weather covers ideal for evening gatherings. The foredeck offers an intimate bow lounge for quieter moments, while the expansive sundeck features a Jacuzzi forward surrounded by sunpads, shaded seating amidships with drinks tables on either side, and open deck space aft. A dedicated beach club and extended swim platform provide easy water access, supported by stabilizers at anchor that enhance onboard comfort during relaxed mooring.
The water sports program is comprehensive, with two jet skis, Seabobs, SUPs, kayaks, water skis for adults and children, wakeboards, and towed inflatables. A water slide extends directly from the deck for all-ages enjoyment. Additional amenities include a full gymnasium with ice bath facilities, a dedicated gaming room, formal dining areas suitable for silver-service presentation, and modern conveniences such as Wi-Fi and climate control throughout.
Based in Athens, WIND OF FORTUNE operates across the East and West Mediterranean, regularly cruising the Greek islands including the Cyclades, Dodecanese, and Ionian Islands, as well as the Turkish coast, Croatian waters, the Amalfi Coast and Sicily, the French Riviera, and the Spanish Balearics. She is equally suited to winter cruising in the Gulf region. A professional crew of eleven ensures seamless service throughout your voyage. The WIND OF FORTUNE charter offers an exceptional combination of classic styling, modern comfort, and genuine space for discerning guests seeking an authentic Mediterranean experience.
