PHANTOM

Phantom Spook 62 — Anchor the Moment At 18.5 metres, the Phantom Spook 62 belongs to that useful category of yacht: substantial enough to feel like a proper day-and-night platform, compact enough to slip into the small Cycladic harbours where the bigger boats have to stay offshore. Her hull is built for open water rather than flat-calm posing, and it shows in the way she handles a Meltemi-fed chop. Twin Volvo Penta D8 diesels deliver a combined 1,200 hp, giving a 24-knot cruise and 26 knots at the top end. In practice, that means Mykonos to Delos before the crowds, or a genuine island-to-island itinerary rather than a single anchorage held all week. With roughly 2,000 litres of fuel and 2,500 litres of fresh water aboard, she has the legs for longer passages as well as the short escape. Below, two en-suite cabins accommodate up to six guests: the owner's cabin, plus a second cabin with a double bed. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. The salon is generously proportioned for a yacht of this size, with a modern galley alongside — the kind of layout that works as easily for a long lunch at anchor as for a night aboard. The Burmese teak decking is the detail that tells you where the money went. It is a traditional choice, hard-wearing and quietly handsome, and it ages better than any synthetic alternative. Deck areas are expansive for the length, with room to spread out fore and aft, and the navigation package is fully up to date. Her crew handles the seamanship, the provisioning and the routing, leaving guests to decide little more than where to swim next. Available for charter in the Aegean and the wider Mediterranean, with the Greek Islands as her natural cruising ground.
