Arabella Motor Yacht

A pair of Volvo engines drive Arabella, and she burns 140 litres of fuel an hour at work. The 45ft (14m) Ferretti motor yacht dates from 2005 and was refitted in 2020.

On deck

The flybridge is large, an open-air deck where the group can sit together above the water, and there is a sundeck for lying out. A bathing platform turns swimming into a matter of stepping off the boat rather than climbing down to it.

Water toys

A stand-up paddleboard, water skis and snorkelling equipment travel with her: something to cross a bay under muscle power, something to be towed along behind, and masks for swimming over shallow ground.

Where she cruises

Her home port is Mykonos, and she cruises Greece, with July and August the height of her season.

Accommodation and crew

Three cabins sleep six: a double, a cabin with two single beds and a cabin with bunks, sharing two bathrooms. For a day on the water she can take twelve, and a crew of two looks after both the boat and the guests aboard.

Comfort under way

She cruises at 26 knots with 32 in reserve, so a bay further along the coast is no great undertaking.

Charter notes

Arabella suits a family or a group of friends hiring a small crewed boat in Greece, with air conditioning to keep the cabins cool and Wi-Fi aboard for those who need to stay in touch.
