MYRA | 2003

Best for: groups of friends or families after a classic sailing experience, with multi-generational groups a close second.

Myra is a steel-hulled sailing schooner built by Ege Yat in 2003 and refitted in 2021/22, and her most distinctive quality is exactly what you see: gloss-varnished bulwarks, teak decks, and classic lines that make her look and feel like a proper sailing ship. She cruises Greek waters from Athens, and under full sail she is genuinely unhurried and atmospheric in a way that modern charter yachts simply are not.

She accommodates 12 guests across 6 en-suite cabins, four doubles forward and two twins aft, giving her the flexibility to suit a large family or a group of friends travelling together. The raised deckhouse salon is bright and airy, seating all 12 at two dining tables on the port side with a lounge area to starboard. Aft, a shaded al fresco deck adds another social space. Six crew, including a hostess, keep things running smoothly throughout. Water toys cover the basics: two SUPs, kayak, wakeboard, water skis, sea wings, snorkelling gear for eight, and a 5.5 m Zodiac tender.
