S/CAT Genny

The Yacht in Detail

Genny doesn’t just float; she presides. Built on the acclaimed Sunreef 80 platform, this 24-metre sailing catamaran feels less like a yacht and more like a private island that moves when you tell it to. In a Greek charter market crowded with options, Genny stands out not by shouting her specifications, but by the way she changes your sense of space, service, and time.

From the moment you step aboard, the first thing you notice is width. The beam of a Sunreef 80 is something you don’t fully understand until you’re standing in it. The salon doesn’t feel like a room on a boat; it feels like a luxury apartment that just happens to be framed by the Aegean. Panoramic windows pull the sea into every corner, contemporary furnishings invite you to stretch out and stay, and the light-soft, shifting, reflected off the water-reminds you that you’re surrounded by the very element you came here to experience.

Below, the master suite claims the full beam of the starboard hull. It’s not simply a cabin; it’s a private retreat. There’s space for a lounge area where mornings begin slowly, with coffee in hand and the horizon framed perfectly at the foot of the bed. Waking up here feels less like getting out of bed and more like stepping into a ritual: the first glimpse of blue, the quiet hum of the sea, the sense that the day is entirely yours to shape.

Genny carries up to ten guests in five cabins, but what truly defines life on board is the presence of six dedicated crew members. That crew-to-guest ratio is usually the domain of far more expensive motor yachts, and it shows in the rhythm of each day. Service is always there before you think to ask, yet never hovers. Towels appear the moment you emerge from the water. Your favorite drink finds its way to your hand just as the sun begins to dip. The captain knows when you want to chase the wind and when you’d rather drift.

The heart of Genny’s experience is the galley, and the soul is her chef. Menus are not just Mediterranean in name; they’re drawn from the very islands you visit. Tomatoes that still taste of the sun from a tiny Cycladic market, fish bought at dawn from a local fisherman, herbs clipped that morning-each port becomes part of your plate. Lunch might be a simple, perfect grilled catch eaten barefoot on deck; dinner could be a multi-course exploration of Greek flavors, paired with local wines and the sound of water against the hull.

Out on deck, Genny becomes a front-row seat to the Greek islands’ most dramatic scenes. At anchor in Santorini’s caldera, she feels like a private balcony suspended between volcanic cliffs and open sea. As the sky turns from gold to deep indigo, the lights of the island rise behind you while the water stays calm beneath your feet. Off Milos, she glides past sculpted volcanic shores and hidden coves, turning each swim stop into a small discovery-another bay, another shade of blue, another memory.

What makes Genny special isn’t just her size, her platform, or her design. It’s the way all of those elements come together to slow everything down. Days stretch out, not because you’re doing nothing, but because every moment feels fully occupied: a quiet sunrise on the foredeck, a long lunch shaded by the flybridge, a sail between islands where the only sounds are wind, water, and the soft creak of rigging.

By the time you step back onto the dock, Genny has done something subtle but profound: she has turned a charter into a story. Not a list of islands visited or miles sailed, but a collection of vivid, precise moments-waking to a horizon of blue, tasting the sea in your dinner, watching the caldera glow at dusk-that stay with you long after the voyage ends.
