M/Y PAREAKI II

M/Y PAREAKI II — Italian Power, Greek Soul

M/Y Pareaki II is where Italian yachtbuilding discipline meets the unhurried rhythm of Greek island life. She is a Maiora 126, 39 meters of clean, confident lines and quietly intelligent design — the kind of yacht that doesn’t shout for attention, but earns it the moment you step aboard.

This is the sweet spot of yachting. Large enough to feel like a true private world — with salons you can actually live in, decks that invite you to linger, and a real sense of privacy between guest areas and crew — yet agile enough to slip into the harbors and anchorages that the bigger white palaces on the horizon can only admire from a distance.

The Maiora Philosophy, Perfectly Realized

Maiora has always understood that real luxury is about proportion, not excess. Pareaki II is a textbook expression of that idea.

Her generous beam gives her a volume that surprises everyone who knows her length. Step inside and you notice it immediately:

• Corridors that feel wider than they should.
• A main salon that doesn’t just seat a group, but invites them to spread out — some with a book, some with a drink, some just watching the islands slide by.
• A master suite that feels less like a cabin and more like a boutique hotel room that happens to drift from bay to bay.

The 2023 refit didn’t try to reinvent her; it respected what made her special and brought everything quietly up to date. New soft furnishings that feel fresh but not flashy. Teak decks that glow in the late afternoon sun. Updated electronics that disappear into the background until you need them.

You feel it when you walk aboard: this is a yacht that has been cared for, invested in, and prepared for guests who notice the small things — the way a door closes softly, the way the lighting flatters the room at night, the way every space seems to have a purpose.

A Home for Twelve at Sea

Pareaki II is designed around 12 guests in 5 staterooms, each with its own en-suite. It’s a layout that understands how people actually travel:

• Families who want the kids close, but not on top of them.
• Groups of friends who want privacy at night and shared spaces by day.
• Multi-generational trips where grandparents can retreat to quiet while the younger crowd is still laughing on deck.

Every cabin is its own little sanctuary, but the yacht’s real magic is in the spaces between them — the breakfast table where plans for the day are made, the shaded aft deck where lunch stretches into the afternoon, the sundeck where no one is in a hurry to go anywhere at all.

A crew of 8 keeps everything running with that rare balance of professionalism and warmth. Service feels anticipatory, never intrusive. Towels appear before you realize you’re wet. Your favorite drink finds you in the right glass at the right time. The toys are in the water before anyone has to ask.

And then there’s the captain — someone who doesn’t just know the Aegean, but understands how to read it. The sheltered coves when the meltemi picks up. The quiet bays where you’ll wake to nothing but the sound of water against the hull. The waterfront tavernas where the owner comes out to greet the crew by name, and the grilled fish tastes better because you know you were meant to find this place.

Built for the Aegean, Tuned to Its Rhythm

Pareaki II feels particularly at home in the Cyclades. She was built for the kind of days that define a Greek summer:

• The run from Mykonos to Paros, when the sea is a deep, impossible blue and the breeze keeps the decks perfectly cool.
