ALENA

Alena — Power 67 · Greece Some yachts are built for the marina, others for the passage. Alena belongs to the second category. With twin engines of up to 480 horsepower each and a fuel capacity of 4,000 litres, she carries a range of 1,700 nautical miles — the kind of autonomy that turns a Greek itinerary into a genuine question of preference rather than logistics. The Cyclades one week, the Ionian the next, without the constant recalculation of bunkering stops. Her exterior lines are assertive, with generous curves and a volume distribution that gives her far more usable deck than her length suggests. That intelligence shows up immediately in the numbers: a 36 m² cockpit opening directly onto the interior saloon, and a 32 m² flybridge above — proportions that let a group of eight spread out instead of negotiating for space. Accommodation is arranged over four cabins for eight guests. The owner's cabin anchors the layout, joined by three further cabins each fitted with a double bed for two. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. Onboard life organises itself naturally around the water. The cockpit flows into the main living area and a spacious lobby, with dedicated sunbathing zones set apart from the social spaces — so the guest who wants quiet and the guest who wants company aren't competing for the same square metres. Forward, the bow lounge holds a jacuzzi, best appreciated once the anchor is down and the light starts to go long over the islands. The galley is equipped with a griddle, and it is worth noting who stands behind it: Alena's chef took third place in the Diamond Category at the 2024 EMMYS Chef Competition. That is a meaningful distinction in the Mediterranean charter fleet, and it tends to be felt at every meal rather than reserved for a single set-piece dinner. A crew of three runs the yacht — a proportion that works well at this size, attentive without ever feeling crowded. Enough hands to anticipate what you need, few enough that the yacht still feels like yours.
