FREEDOM

Built by Spertini Alalunga, one of Italy's long-standing yards, Freedom carries the quiet confidence that comes with genuine Italian construction. At 23.8 metres, she sits in that sweet spot where a yacht remains easy to handle among the Greek islands yet has real volume to give. A refit completed in 2021 keeps her presentation and systems current. Accommodation is arranged across four cabins on the lower deck for up to ten guests. Two of them are fitted with a double bed; the detailed configuration of the remaining two can be confirmed on request, which makes it straightforward to match the layout to your party — a family, two couples travelling together, or a group of friends. Above, the emphasis falls squarely on outdoor living. There is generous deck space to spread out across the day: breakfast in the shade while the anchorage still sleeps, long lunches under way between Cyclades harbours, evenings on deck once the light softens over the water. It is the kind of aft-deck rhythm the Aegean rewards. A crew of four looks after the yacht and her guests. Experienced and attentive without hovering, they handle the logistics — provisioning, itinerary adjustments as the meltemi dictates, service throughout the day — so the week unfolds without friction. Freedom is operated to international standards, and it shows in the consistency of that service. For those who like to be in the water rather than beside it, she carries a broad selection of water toys, enough to keep swimmers, skiers and first-timers occupied through an afternoon at anchor.
