George's Inside Info
“MELI sleeps twelve on 27.5 metres, which is the most efficient berth-to-rate ratio in this fleet by a distance. Families who have already priced a 33 metre for twelve people work out what she means within about ten seconds. She runs 54,000 to 63,000 euros per week.”
- George P. Biniaris, Managing Broker & IYBA Member
The Yacht in Detail
M/Y MELI is a 27.5 metre Ferretti 881 from 2009, refitted between 2023 and 2024, and she does something unusual: she sleeps twelve guests on 27 metres. Nothing else in this fleet takes twelve below 33 metres.
Twelve Guests, Five Crew
Five cabins for twelve guests, a crew of five, 146 gross tons. The refit gave her a contemporary custom interior, so the volume is not just present but usable.
Twenty-One Knots
She cruises at twenty-one and reaches twenty-nine, which for a boat carrying twelve people is a genuinely useful number. The near Cyclades open up from Athens without the passage eating the day.
The Week She Is Built For
Large groups on a considered budget. Twelve berths at this rate does not otherwise exist in Greek crewed charter, and families who have priced a 33 metre for the same headcount understand immediately what she is.
A Sample 7-Day Route
What a week aboard M/Y MELI can look like
Total: 311 NM
- Day 1· 48 NM
Athens (Alimos)→Kythnos (Kolona)
Two and a half hours at her cruising speed. Kythnos keeps its own hours and the anchorage at Kolona is the reason people come back.
- Day 2· 43 NM
Kythnos (Kolona)→Milos (Adamas)
The volcanic coast is white rock cut into the sea, and Kleftiko is only reachable from the water. Two hours on passage at 21 knots.
- Day 3· 51 NM
Milos (Adamas)→Santorini (the caldera)
Two and a half hours under way. Anchoring inside the caldera is a matter of finding the shelf, and the crew will have the spot picked.
- Day 4· 32 NM
Santorini (the caldera)→Amorgos (Katapola)
Amorgos is the eastern edge of the group and it feels like it, which is why people go. Reckon on ninety minutes from the last berth.
- Day 5· 43 NM
Amorgos (Katapola)→Mykonos (Ornos)
Two hours at her cruising speed. Anchor off Ornos rather than fighting for the new marina, and take the tender in for dinner.
- Day 6· 37 NM
Mykonos (Ornos)→Andros (Batsi)
The island has rivers and walking paths, which after four bare islands is a change. Just under two hours on passage at 21 knots.
- Day 7· 57 NM
Andros (Batsi)→Athens (Alimos)
Three hours under way. The run back up the coast, Athens on the bow, and the last night alongside.
Indicative only - every charter is shaped around your group, the wind, and the season.
