The Boatbookings Superyacht of the Week is the exceptional Golden Yachts 60m O’MADELEINE, available for your luxury charters across the Mediterranean this summer.

---

Delivered in 2025, O’MADELEINE is one of the most exciting additions to the Mediterranean charter market. Built by Golden Yachts, she combines striking contemporary lines with a light interior style. Accommodating up to 12 guests in 7 cabins for a 7-day splendor in the Cyclades Islands, she is ideal for larger groups seeking a brand-new yacht with serious social space, contemporary style, and outstanding service with a crew of 15 led by Captain Manos.

O’MADELEINE’s sundeck is one of her standout features, designed for a true indoor-outdoor lifestyle space with the stunning Greek Islands in the background. Panoramic sliding doors connect the air-conditioned gym to the open deck, while the custom plunge pool in the tranquil relaxation area, by day, is paired perfectly with the outdoor cinema by night for a cozy evening after sampling traditional cuisine from Greece’s phenomenal restaurants.

O’MADELEINE’s innovative beach club brings a private resort feel to your charter. Guests can relax and enjoy the spa and smoothie bar during the daytime, or transform the terrace into a private massage area with views of the Cyclades. With her generous selection of water toys and an expansive waterside setup, she is perfectly designed for guests who want wellness, comfort, and fun at anchor during a 7-day Western Cyclades itinerary.

The annual Mediterranean Yacht Show, or MEDYS, is an event where the season’s top yachts can display their excellent crews, indulgent menus, and refined layouts. Held in Nafplio, Greece, charter brokers from all over the world attend. This year, Boatbookings team member Ben visited the MEDYS and is excited to share the yachts that stood out the most!

Top Chef

Chef Dimitri curates bespoke menus aboard the Benetti Golden Bay 50m, JO I. His meals feature modern interpretations of Greek flavors, such as the classic Gemista in the form of an Arancini. After winning second place in the 2024 culinary competition, Dimitri is aiming for number one this year!

Top Interior Design

With an open-plan concept, foldable balconies, and sliding doors, the Sanlorenzo SD126, FATSA stood out to Ben as the yacht with the most thoughtful layout. The saloon boasts flawlessly designed Italian furniture, as does the sky lounge and master suite – Ben declares it the “most stylish master bathroom on the Greek Seas!”

Top Exterior Design

Showcasing the most phenomenal views of the Palamidi in Nafplio is the Mondomarine 50m, ZALIV III. Ben noted this superyacht as having the standout sundeck and exterior spaces at the MEDYS. During your Mediterranean yacht charter, you can sip champagne in her luxurious jacuzzi as your captain cruises between idyllic anchorages.

After an incredible week in Nafplio, Ben wants to emphasize his appreciation for the crew who go above and beyond for their guests. He is thrilled to step into the office next week and match you with the perfect yacht for your next charter in the Mediterranean.

Boatbookings shares insights into this week’s featured yacht.

Step aboard Lagoon 620, HUNTRESS in the British Virgin Islands and be immediately struck by how intentional every detail feels. The yacht’s design leans into a calm, modern aesthetic, punctuated by thoughtful green accents that bring a sense of freshness and connection to the surrounding seascape. Soft textiles, subtle botanical tones, and natural light work together to create an atmosphere that’s both elevated and inviting-never overdone, always harmonious. Whether you’re lounging inside or transitioning outdoors, the flow of the space feels effortless.

---

One of HUNTRESS’s standout features is her spacious flybridge, a true social hub with panoramic views that stretch endlessly across Virgin Gorda. It’s the perfect place to gather for sunset cocktails or unwind under the stars. Down below, al fresco dining takes center stage, offering guests the chance to savor beautifully prepared meals in the open air, with the gentle rhythm of the water as your backdrop. At the heart of the culinary experience is Chef Lida, whose training at Ashburton in the UK, brings a refined, globally inspired approach to every dish. Her menus are as thoughtful as the yacht’s design-fresh, vibrant, and tailored to each guest.

What truly sets HUNTRESS apart, though, is her stellar crew of three. This tight-knit team of three grew up in the same town in South Africa, and that shared history translates into an easy, natural chemistry onboard. Their communication is seamless, their energy contagious, and their attention to detail second to none. JD brings an adventurous spirit with a passion for watersports, always ready to get guests out on the water for a bit of adrenaline and fun. Meanwhile, Captain Chris, a certified dive master, takes pride in creating unforgettable scuba diving experiences, guiding guests through vibrant marine worlds with confidence and care. Together, they create an atmosphere that feels less like a charter and more like being welcomed aboard by old friends.
