GLAROS | 2006

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

GLAROS is a 40.5-metre Maiora motor yacht built in 2006, based in Athens and crewed by seven professionals, including a captain decorated by the Greek Ministry of Merchant Marine for a rescue at sea and a chef trained at the Hotel Grande Bretagne who has been cooking aboard since 2008. That depth of experience across the crew is the single most distinctive thing she offers.

She accommodates 12 guests across six cabins: a master and a VIP, each with a jacuzzi, two doubles, and two twins, all with ensuite facilities. The water toy inventory is genuinely extensive: two tenders, a 235hp three-seater jet ski, a Seabob, a five-metre FunAir slide, waterskis, wakeboard, monoski, banana, tubes, two SUPs, a Hobie pedal board, inflatable docks, snorkelling and fishing equipment, an electric bike, and an electric skateboard. Chef Ariel covers Mediterranean and Asian cuisines as well as pastry, making mealtimes aboard as much of a draw as the sea.
