SKIPPER 42

SKIPPER 42 — Mykonos, Greece A 12-metre (42ft) motor yacht built for the way Mykonos is actually cruised: fast hops to Delos, Rhenia and the south-coast beaches, back in time for dinner ashore. Speed is the point here. She cruises at 35 knots and tops out at 55, which turns the crossings between islands into a matter of minutes rather than a commitment for the day. For day charters she takes up to 10 guests with two crew aboard — enough hands to keep the tender work, the swim stops and the service running smoothly without anyone feeling crowded. Below, a single cabin with a double bed and en-suite facilities allows two guests to stay aboard overnight, looked after by one crew member. It is a compact, purposeful layout rather than a full liveaboard arrangement, and it suits the way she is best used: long days on the water, short nights at anchor. For anyone whose priority is covering ground in the Cyclades — several beaches in one afternoon, a private crossing to Delos, a sunset at a bay you choose yourself — she is a straightforward, well-crewed answer.
