MAGIX

MAGIX cruises Greece and Turkey, and she is built for the kind of charter where the interior is really just somewhere to sleep. Dining is set up alfresco on both the main and upper decks, so lunch and dinner are taken in the open air with the Greek islands drifting past — a simple arrangement, but one that shapes the whole rhythm of a week aboard. Accommodation is arranged over five cabins for ten guests: an owner's cabin, a VIP cabin, a further cabin with a double bed, and two cabins with twin beds. The two principal cabins are generous enough that neither feels like the lesser choice — a useful detail when two couples are chartering together. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. The sun deck is where the yacht comes into its own. A freestanding bar anchors the space, with a jacuzzi alongside, sun loungers and relaxed seating, and room for casual dining. It works as easily for a long afternoon at anchor as for drinks once the light softens. A refit was completed in 2012. Service is in the hands of a professional crew, discreet and attentive, who know these cruising grounds and how to pace a charter around them.
