Archsea Motor Yacht

Fuel use of 75 litres an hour is the figure that frames Archsea, a 101ft (31m) motor yacht launched by HG Yachts in 2014 and refitted in 2022.

Comfort under way

Ten knots is her working speed and 12 her maximum, which keeps the move between anchorages an easy, low-effort business, and July and August are her busiest months.

On deck

The jacuzzi is out in the fresh air, warm water with nothing above it, and the swim platform turns a swim into a simple step down and an easy climb back. Air conditioning covers the interior and Wi-Fi reaches across the yacht, so nobody aboard has to be out of contact with home.

Water toys

Seven toys travel with Archsea: a jet ski for a rider who wants speed, water skis, an inflatable and a SUP board for paddling, with snorkelling gear and fishing tackle as well. A 13ft tender takes guests ashore.

Where she cruises

Bodrum is her home port, and her cruising takes in the shores of Turkey and Greece.

Accommodation and crew

Four cabins sleep 9 guests overnight, while by day she can have 12 aboard, so more people can join for a day on the water than stay the night. A crew of 6 runs her, the boat, the tender and the toys included.

Charter notes

Archsea suits a family or two couples travelling together, a party of up to 9 who want the coast at a calm pace rather than a fast one. Beyond the full week she can also be hired for three days, so a shorter trip out of Turkey is open to guests who cannot give a whole week to the water.
