ALEGRIA

ALEGRIA — 24m Sanlorenzo, cruising Greece Sanlorenzo has built its reputation on a particular idea of restraint: yachts that feel solid, well-proportioned and quietly finished rather than showy. ALEGRIA, launched in 2007 and refitted in 2022, is a compact expression of that thinking — a 24-metre (78ft) motor yacht that reads as a private residence at sea rather than a large boat scaled down. Accommodation is arranged over four cabins for eight guests: an owner's cabin, a VIP cabin, and two further cabins fitted with twin beds. Each has its own en-suite bathroom, which on a yacht of this size is a genuine comfort rather than a given. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. Performance suits the Greek programme she runs. A 19.5-knot cruise with 27 knots available means the Cyclades open up in a way they don't on a slower displacement hull — breakfast at anchor off one island, lunch at the next, without the day being swallowed by the passage. A crew of four looks after four cabins, a ratio that translates into service felt rather than observed: the anchorage chosen before you ask, the tender ready when you reach the swim platform, meals timed to the rhythm of the day rather than a schedule.
