ST DAVID | 2008

Best for: groups of friends or couples seeking a high-spec motor yacht experience in Greek waters, with multi-generational families a close second.

ST DAVID is a 60-metre custom Benetti motor yacht, launched in 2008 and refitted in 2025, whose interior by Andrew Winch sets her apart: mosaic floors, sculptured rising and falling tables, detailed marquetry, and a floating staircase spanning three decks crowned by a skylight that looks into the base of the sun-deck pool. That staircase is the single image that stays with guests. She accommodates 12 in six staterooms, including a split-level master suite with panoramic views and its own lounge, a full-beam VIP, and four doubles that convert to twins. A crew of 15 means the ratio of attention to guests is exceptionally high.

On deck, an oversize jacuzzi pool and a circular dining table for twelve anchor the upper level, while a sheltered indoor-outdoor circular table one deck below keeps meals comfortable when the wind picks up. The toy list is serious: a 2023 Four Winns tender, two jet skis, three Seabob F9s, a Lift E-foil, an inflatable catamaran, an outdoor cinema, and a gym. Groups who want both genuine luxury and active days on the water will find ST DAVID hard to match in Athens and the Greek islands.
