S/Y Aizu

The Yacht in Detail

At 99 feet, Aizu is the kind of sailing yacht that makes people stop and stare. She belongs to a rare class of vessels - large enough to command a harbour, elegant enough to make the sea itself feel like a setting designed for her.

Built on the Marine 99 platform, she carries eight guests across four cabins with a crew of four, offering a sailing experience defined by scale and grace. Under canvas, the sensation is extraordinary: the rigging sings, the hull moves with a deep, confident rhythm, and the islands pass by in a slow, panoramic procession that no motor yacht can replicate.

At €33,000-€39,000 per week, Aizu represents remarkable value for a yacht of her stature. She is one of the largest sailing yachts available for charter in Greek waters, and for guests who dream of arriving under sail - really arriving, with canvas spread and the wind doing the work - she delivers something that few vessels in any fleet can match: the romance of scale.

Her story is written in two dates. Launched in 1989, when sailing yachts were still drawn with long overhangs and proper sheer, she was comprehensively refitted in 2023: electronics, navigation, safety systems, air conditioning and connectivity all brought into the present, while the character that only three decades of blue water can give a hull was left untouched.

Four en-suite staterooms host eight guests, and her generous beam opens deck space that modern performance yachts sacrifice. Evenings belong to the cockpit: dinner under the boom, the anchorage lights of Mykonos or Naxos in the distance, and that particular silence a sailing yacht keeps once the engine dies.

With a crew of four and rates of 33,000 to 39,000 euros per week, Aizu offers one of the largest sailing footprints in Greek charter for the price of a mid-size catamaran. For classic yacht enthusiasts and romantics, she is the way the Aegean was meant to be crossed.
