Leonidas

A crew of five for eight guests is generous cover on a thirty-seven-metre yacht, and it sets the tone aboard Leonidas: full service without a crowded table. Marti Yat delivered her in 2018 and refitted her in 2022, and she lies ready to view in Bodrum today.

Build and provenance

Leonidas is a custom-built, 37-metre displacement motor yacht on a monohull, measuring 121 feet overall and 244 gross tonnes. Marti Yat delivered her in 2018, and she was refitted in 2022, a hull with recent work behind her rather than a boat sold as she was launched.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins, looked after by a crew of five, a ratio that leaves room for attentive service around a full guest list.

Performance and engineering

Two 1,925 hp Caterpillar C32 engines give Leonidas a 12.5-knot cruise and a 17.5-knot top speed, enough power to close distance between anchorages quickly rather than idle along at a walking pace. Her displacement monohull rides steady through that range instead of trimming onto a plane, a shape built for comfort over outright thrill.

On deck and at anchor

A balcony opens one of her decks straight to the sea air, and a hydraulic swim platform at the stern lowers guests to the water without a ladder to negotiate.

Where she lies and how to see her

Leonidas lies in Bodrum, Turkey. We set up the viewing and come along in person, and after an accepted offer the survey and sea trial come next, ahead of handover.
