When you think of yachting in the Mediterranean, the Greek Islands are one of the first things you think of.

The stuff dreams are made of, with many a fine sailor trying their luck in the winds and waters of the modern day Atlantis.

Poseidon himself could not have done a better job etching

I must share the tale of an extraordinary odyssey that unfolded on the azure canvas of the Aegean – the enchanting Santorini seen from the deck of a my yacht.

As my boat gracefully cuts through the cerulean waves, pushed gently by the Mistral, the ancient Greek gods whisper in my ears: you are one of the chosen.

The sea breeze carries whispers of ancient tales, the gentle fluff of the sails harmonizes with the lapping of waves, and the aroma of saltwater mingles with the promise of adventure.

Santorini, viewed from the deck, is not just seen; it's felt, heard, and smelled in every breath.

I basked in a symphony of hues during the nightly spectacle that is the Santorini sunset.

The sky transforms into a canvas, ablaze with the warm tones of gold, coral, and lavender.

From my top deck I saw the sun's descent into the Aegean, casting an ethereal glow upon the iconic white-washed buildings clinging to the cliffs.

A moment suspended in my mind, a masterpiece painted by nature.

Santorini's charm extends beyond its famous sunsets and clear blue water.

Navigate the yacht to secluded coves and hidden gems unreachable by land.

Dive into the crystal-clear waters, explore sea caves, and let the allure of untouched beauty capture your soul.

My boat becomes a vessel of discovery and freedom, unveiling Santorini's secrets one hidden bay at a time.

She was my private portal to Santorini's diverse landscapes.

Savoring the flavors of Santorini from anchor in her picturesque harbors and dining under the stars at waterfront tavernas. Indulging in the island's gastronomic delights felt almost scandalous and forbidden.

From freshly caught seafood to locally made wines, every meal echoed the millennia of Santorini's rich culinary heritage.

In the embrace of Santorini's charm, a chartered yacht transcends ordinary travel.

It's not just a journey; it's an immersion into a world where time slows, and every moment is a testament to the island's timeless allure.

To experience Santorini from your own boat is to embark on a voyage that etches itself into the fabric of your memories, creating a once-in-a-lifetime tale to be shared for generations.

Bon Voyage Young Odysseus

Huge question for you all:

What’s your favorite kind of catamaran?

Sail ⛵️
Power 🛥️

Power cats are more popular in the Mediterranean as many people like to go slower and sit in luxurious areas such as St. Tropez and be part of the bourgeoisie.

This is a bit of our fancy.

But…

In the British Virgin Islands sailing cats seem to be more popular. They offer better stability and comfort for longer open water crossings.

So tell me, which one is your yacht?

The theraputic springs of Kurtaliotis, Rethymnon.

This is a special watering hole known to locals as a place to rejuvenate and recharge.

The secret is it is acce by yacht.

To see how you can get to this sacred spring see the comments 🔱

What’s better than a state of the art electric catamaran luxury yacht?

A luxury cat in your own private harbor in the BVI.

This is a special yacht that is not quite launched.

It is designed by the famous artist Zaha Hadid and meant to inspire a new generation of energy saving and sustainable yachts.

I can’t wait to see her in person.

If you want to book a visit, send a DM and I’ll see what I can do.

This one is truly exclusive, and a 1 of 1 yacht build.

I just did something I never thought was possible.

Ever since I was a young man in the cold and rainy north looking through Condé Nast travel magazines and wondering what the warm tropics were like.

I would see gorgeous photos of luxurious yachts full of beautiful people anchored on pristine beaches.

And it was magical.

Who were these beautiful people? Where were these picture perfect beaches with clear blue water?

What was it like to have dinner on a yacht while watching the sunset over a stunning tropical sea?

And fate, it turns out, was a helpful player.

Actually it was a simple finance trick that turned the tides.

Because I have a lot of friends who have the same dream and goals, I had an idea.

An idea that removed the biggest barrier to a dream British Virgin Islands vacation:

Fracking the cost.

What I mean by this is changing the math to our favor.

The total cost of the yacht was $10000, but that’s not what I paid.

Because I brought a total of 8 good friends on the yacht.

So instead of paying a whopping 10k for the trip, it only cost $1250.

Which was the magic I needed to make the dream a reality and book the trip.

So for 1/8 the retail cost I was able to go on the yacht of my dreams and as a bonus shared it with people I care about.

And our memories will last a lifetime.

So now I am the one that can tell others about the magic of the BVI.

And this is truly priceless. 🏝️

Man cannot walk on water.

But for 100m he can sure come close. 🛥️

The Luxury Yacht Vacation special is the 87m beauty christened Ace.

This is a ship even Ace Ventura would have a hard time filling up with all his lovable pets.

Her striking exterior lines and classically styled interior showcase the talents of renowned designer Andrew Winch.

With a substantial volume of 2,732GT she has an impressive array of lifestyle spaces and features.

Built with uncompromising quality, ACE’s exquisitely designed interior has an atmosphere of traditional elegance created through the use of opulent contemporary and classic furniture, fabrics and lighting with a rich, creamy colour scheme. Her unusual layout includes an owner’s suite on the bridge deck with a full beam cabin, sitting room, office and access to private balconies on both sides.

Four further and very spacious guest cabins are located on the main deck, accessed via a large sweeping staircase.

Inside and out ACE has ample communal guest areas, including a stunning top deck with shaded seating and lounging areas, and a centrally located air-conditioned tea room for those looking for a refuge from the midday sun.

The upper deck also has both a relaxed lounge and bar area leading to a large al fresco dining and lounge area aft, and a formal lounge area with formal dining located forward.

Leisure facilities include a large pool on the top deck and a stunning beach club area on the lower deck, with whirlpool bath and plunge pool located adjacent to a large spa with sauna and hammam.

I talk with a lot of folk out on the water… and some of them have some tall tales.

None so much as this fella, but the story is too good not to share.

And maybe he can teach the young whipper snappers a thing or two:

So there I was, a grizzled old man with a heart as weary as a worn-out saddle, setting sail on a catamaran yacht out of Croatia.

I reckon I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking for, but I knew I had to find it. Something deep down inside told me that the answers I sought were out there, somewhere beyond the horizon.

As the wind kissed my weathered face and the salty scent of the sea filled my nostrils, I felt a flicker of excitement, mingled with a healthy dose of apprehension.

It was like stepping into the unknown, a leap of faith into a vast, uncharted territory.

But hey, what did I have to lose?

The crystal blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea stretched out before me, endless and mysterious. It was like staring into the eyes of a beautiful woman, simultaneously alluring and terrifying.

And just like that, I set sail into the great expanse, with nothing but the wind as my guide.

Days turned into nights, and nights into days.

The rhythm of the waves became my lullaby, and the stars, my companions. The solitude was both haunting and liberating, as if the sea herself was whispering secrets only I could hear.

And then, my friend, something remarkable happened.

Somewhere amidst the dancing waves and the shimmering horizon, I found myself. Not the hardened old man you see before you, but the spirit of a young boy, full of wonder and dreams.

It was as if the sea had washed away the layers of bitterness and regret that had accumulated over the years.

I rediscovered the joy of simple things—a sunrise painting the sky in hues of gold, the laughter of dolphins as they danced alongside the yacht, the thrill of catching a fish with my own two hands.

The weight of the world lifted off my shoulders, and for the first time in ages, I felt alive.

I found a new reason to live, my friend, a reason as vast and boundless as the ocean itself. It was the realization that life is meant to be lived, not just endured.

That there's magic in every breath we take, if only we're willing to open our eyes and see it.

And so, as I sailed back to the shores of Croatia, my heart brimming with a newfound zest for life, I couldn't help but thank the sea for being my silent mentor, my steadfast confidante.

It had taken a voyage across those azure waters to remind me that the true journey lies within ourselves, and that sometimes, the answers we seek are right there, waiting to be discovered.

So young fellas, that's my tale.

A tale of an old man who set sail on a catamaran yacht and found far more than he ever imagined.

Life has a funny way of surprising us, don't it?

Now, tell me, my friend, what's your story?

Honestly, no one needs to vacation at 33 knots, but hot damn who DOESN’T want to
skip over waves at speedboat speeds in a mega yacht?

This is your chance shoot your shot before this speedster flys away into the Mistral, never to be available again.
