S/Y MELITI | 2004

Best for: couples and small groups of friends, with a foodie-led trio of couples a close second.

S/Y MELITI is a 2004 Garcia sailing yacht operating out of Athens, and her standout feature is a four-person crew that punches well above the boat's size: a captain with 23 years in luxury yachting, a deckhand engineer with deep mechanical expertise, a stewardess, and a chef who took first place in the MEDYS Chef Competition 2025. On a three-cabin yacht carrying up to six guests, that level of crew attention is genuinely rare.

The three cabins, one master and two VIP kings, suit two to three couples travelling together. In the water, MELITI carries a Seabob, sea scooter, inflatable SUPs, a towable tube, snorkelling gear, and a Novurania tender with a 25HP Yamaha, so active days are well covered. Evenings come back to George's cooking, grounded in Greek identity and refined through organic, sous vide, and pastry technique. For guests who want sailing done properly, crew who anticipate rather than react, and food that is the genuine highlight of the trip, MELITI delivers it in a compact, well-run package across the Greek islands.
