S/CAT Above & Beyond

The Yacht in Detail

There are yachts you charter for the vessel. And then there are yachts you charter for the table.

Above & Beyond is unapologetically the latter.

On paper, she’s already impressive: a Sunreef 80 with a wide, confident stance on the water, expansive deck spaces, and a contemporary interior that feels more like a floating villa than a traditional yacht. But those details, while beautiful, are not what guests remember most.

What defines Above & Beyond is the quiet alchemy happening in her galley.

Chef Savvas is the yacht’s true signature. Holding 1st Place Platinum at MEDYS 2022 and 1st Place Diamond at EMMYS 2023, he’s not simply a “good yacht chef” — he’s operating at a level that rivals the finest restaurants in the Greek islands. These awards are not ceremonial nods from within the industry; they are hard-won acknowledgements that the cuisine on board is exceptional even by land-based standards.

Meals on Above & Beyond are not just scheduled breaks in the day; they are the rhythm around which the experience unfolds. Mornings might begin with just-baked pastries, local honey, and fruit that still tastes of the sun. Lunch could be a refined take on a seaside taverna: line-caught fish, grilled simply and finished with wild herbs and Cretan olive oil, or a deconstructed Greek salad that feels both familiar and entirely new. Dinner becomes theatre — multi-course menus where each plate is rooted in Greek tradition but elevated in technique and presentation.

Everything is anchored in place: ingredients sourced from nearby markets, fishermen, and small producers on the very islands you’re exploring. The result is a rare coherence between what you see from the deck and what arrives at the table. You’re not just cruising through the Aegean; you’re tasting it.

With space for eight guests across four cabins, Above & Beyond maintains an intimate scale. A crew of five to six supports that intimacy with a guest-to-crew ratio that allows for genuinely personalized service. The atmosphere on board is polished yet relaxed — attentive without hovering, professional without formality. Glasses refill before you notice they’re low, preferences are remembered, and the service adapts to the mood of the day, whether that’s a long, lazy lunch in the shade or a candlelit tasting menu under the stars.

Design-conscious travelers will appreciate the clean lines, generous volumes, and the way indoor and outdoor spaces flow into one another. Food enthusiasts will find a level of culinary ambition rarely seen at sea, especially within the Greek charter market. And for anyone who believes that the table is the heart of any journey, Above & Beyond offers something quietly extraordinary: a yacht where the most memorable destination might just be dinner.

In a sea of capable, comfortable charter yachts, Above & Beyond stands apart. She is not only a way to see the Greek islands — she is a way to experience them, course by course.
