ERA A | 1984

Best for: larger families or groups of friends, with multi-generational gatherings a close second.

Built in 1984 by Cantieri di Pisa in Italy, ERA A is a classic 31-metre motor yacht based in Athens and sailing the Greek islands with a full crew of six. What sets her apart is the depth of experience on board: Captain Paris Andrianos has skippered in the Caribbean, the Americas, and across the Mediterranean, and the whole team, from engineer Vasilis who keeps her in excellent condition, to stewardess Stephanie whose hotel and hospitality background shapes every interaction, is built around making guests feel genuinely looked after.

She sleeps up to 12 across five cabins: a master with a double bed and sofa option, a VIP queen suite, two twin suites, and a fifth twin with a Pullman berth, all with en suite bathrooms. On the water, a Yamaha-powered Zodiac tender, jet ski, Seabob, two canoes, a SUP, and snorkelling gear give active groups plenty to get into. With six crew to twelve guests, the ratio means attentive service throughout, making ERA A a strong match for groups who want the Greek islands done properly and without lifting a finger.
