HARMONY

Some yachts reveal their character the moment you take the wheel. Here, the helm sits centrally on the flybridge, and the sail plan has been drawn well aft — a configuration you feel immediately, in a hull that wants to come up towards the wind rather than fight you for it. The touch is gentle, forgiving, and sightlines stay clear ahead and out to either side, which matters as much when threading a crowded Cycladic anchorage as it does on a long reach in open water. That elevated, central steering position is also what makes this yacht such easy company under way. Guests gather around the helm rather than being sent below; the person steering stays part of the conversation. Below, six cabins accommodate twelve guests. Four are arranged with a double bed, and two further cabins each offer a single bed — a layout that works as readily for two or three families travelling together as for a group of friends who would rather not draw lots for the best cabin. Greece is the cruising ground, and it suits her. Short hops between islands, afternoons spent sailing properly rather than motoring from marina to marina, evenings at anchor within sight of a village that only fills up after sunset. The crew handle the rest — navigation, service, the daily rhythm of meals and shore trips — with the discretion that lets a charter feel less like a booking and more like time genuinely your own.
