La Fenice Motor Yacht

A Seabob and a jet ski travel with La Fenice, an 88ft (27m) Azimut motor yacht from 2007 with a 2020 refit, so time in the water need not mean staying within a few strokes of the hull.

Where she cruises

Corfu is her home port and she cruises in Greece, at her busiest in July and August; Greece is the whole of her range.

Accommodation and crew

Five cabins sleep ten: a king, two queens and two twins, with a twin set on the main deck rather than below with the others. The master is a large room with fine detailing. A crew of three runs her, and twelve can be aboard for a day on the water, two more than she sleeps.

Comfort under way

La Fenice cruises at 24 knots and will run to 34, using 500 litres an hour, and stabilisers hold the roll down so the ride stays level for those aboard.

On deck

The jacuzzi on the sundeck puts warm water in the open air, apart from the sea she is anchored in.

Water toys

A paddleboard and snorkelling gear come with her as well, and the swim platform makes an easy step down to the sea rather than a drop from the deck.

Charter notes

La Fenice is a straightforward hire for a family or for two couples travelling together: ten sleep aboard, and the toys stowed with her give the group ways into the water without going ashore.
