M FIVE

M FIVE cruises Greece, and the itinerary tells you a lot about her: secluded beaches, lagoons that only reveal themselves once you've slowed down and come in close. She is built for that unhurried kind of day rather than for making an entrance. A refit completed in 2024 keeps her presentation current. The aft deck is the natural centre of life on board — generous, open, with steps leading down to a submersible swim platform that turns the sea into an extension of the yacht rather than something you climb into. Several al fresco dining areas are spread across the decks, each able to be shaded when the Aegean sun sits high, so lunch can move with the hour instead of being fixed to one table. Below, four staterooms accommodate up to eight guests: an owner's cabin, a VIP cabin and two further cabins with double beds. The layout has been thought through for privacy as much as comfort, which matters on a yacht where two couples or a family are sharing the same week. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. A professional crew of three looks after the yacht and her guests — small enough to know your preferences by the second morning, experienced enough to keep the days running without ever seeming to manage them.
