GHOST

GHOST — 16.16m Bavaria Sailing Yacht, Greece Sixteen metres of sail under the Greek sun, delivered by Bavaria Yachts in 2022. GHOST belongs to that increasingly rare category: a sailing yacht compact enough to slip into the small harbours of the Cyclades and the Ionian, yet configured to carry a full party of ten. The layout is unusually generous for the length. Five cabins accommodate ten guests: four cabins with a double bed, plus a single-bed cabin forward. Five bathrooms serve the interior — a ratio that matters more than any brochure adjective when a group of friends or two families are living aboard for a week. Under sail, a yacht of this size and vintage rewards those who actually want to sail: responsive, straightforward, close to the water. Days settle into their own rhythm — an early departure with the meltemi still soft, a lunch anchorage in a bay reachable only from the sea, an evening alongside in a fishing village where dinner is a two-minute walk from the transom. Greece is the cruising ground, and it suits her. The Saronic and Cyclades for island-hopping with short passages; the Ionian for calmer water and green coastlines. A yacht for guests who measure a charter by nights at anchor and miles logged, rather than by the size of the sun deck.
