QUANTUM

Oceanis 45 — Greece A well-proportioned cruising yacht built around a simple idea: that performance and comfort need not be traded against one another. Under sail she is easy to read and rewarding to helm; at anchor, she settles into the quiet rhythm the Greek islands do best. Below deck, four cabins each hold a double bed, sleeping two apiece, with a total capacity of ten guests. It is a layout that suits a group of friends or two families sharing a week between the Cyclades and the Saronic — everyone with their own space, no one relegated to a compromise. Her natural cruising ground is Greece, where short passages between islands make her sailing qualities more than a technical footnote: they are the reason the day unfolds the way you hoped. Morning swim off the stern, an afternoon crossing under canvas, dinner in a harbour reached without hurry. A straightforward, seaworthy yacht for those who want the sailing to be part of the holiday rather than a detail of it.
