DILARA | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

You will be guided by an energetic crew of 15 led by Captain Nikolaos “Nikos” Psallidas, who will give you a momentous charter experience on DILARA while exploring the best anchorages in the Cyclades, Greece. With over 20 years at sea, Captain Class A’, B’, and C’ qualifications, and advanced life-saving and fire-fighting training, Captain Nikos treats every approach to Mykonos, Paros, or a secret Cycladic cove as a finely planned maneuver that keeps comfort and safety in perfect balance. With the technical knowledge of First Officer Giorgos Kilismanis, Second Officer Christos Vlachos, and Chief Engineer Filippos Karras by his side, supported by Engineer Erison Chanterai, Bosun Stavros Bolletis, Deckhand Petros Boukis, and two additional deckhands, you can relax into the Aegean horizon knowing that navigation, engines, and deck operations are handled by a seasoned, tightly drilled team.

From the galley, Executive Chef Giorgos Sideris turns the Cyclades into a tasting journey, designing bespoke recipes that celebrate local fish, island vegetables, and Mediterranean flavors shaped by his experience at the highest culinary level. Alongside him, Sous Chef Ilias Vogianoglou brings fine-dining precision to every plate, whether it is a relaxed al fresco lunch after a swim or a multi-course dinner with the lights of a Cycladic village twinkling ashore. With the impeccable hospitality of Chief Steward Stelios Axiotakis, every minute is a pampering session, as he leads Stewardesses Amalia Nastou, Jelena Oganesian, and Joan Agno in choreographing service, table settings, and cabin touches that make your stay a true bliss against the backdrop of the Aegean.

All around you, the wider crew works in quiet harmony to keep life on DILARA effortlessly smooth as you hop between the islands. Giorgos and Christos share watch duties and route planning so that crossings line up with the best light and most sheltered waters, while Stavros, Petros, and the extra deckhands launch tenders, lay out water toys, and help you in and out of the sea with confident, friendly support. Below deck, Filippos and Erison maintain DILARA’s powerful heart with the discipline of career merchant mariners, while Stelios, Amalia, Jelena, and Joan keep interiors cool, crisp, and welcoming, so every return from exploring the Cyclades feels like stepping back into your own private Aegean residence.

Overview:
Picture yourself standing on the quay as the Benetti 59m luxury crewed motor yacht DILARA approaches, her sleek and modern silhouette commanding attention against the deep blue of the Greek sea. As you step aboard, you feel her strong engine hum beneath the decks, carrying you forward in a way that feels both powerful and effortless. Carefully designed spaces invite you to mingle with family and friends, linger over conversation, and find quiet corners to recharge, with amenities for recreation, social time, and deep relaxation at every turn.

The journey quickly unfolds on her expansive sundeck, where the panorama of picturesque ports and ancient temples around Athens becomes your living backdrop. You might choose to stretch out in the sunbathing area with a good book, or gather at the bar lounge where a bottle of Ouzo is opened as the city glows in the distance. The alfresco dining area and jacuzzi create a perfect environment for long, unhurried conversations while you take in the view from this elevated perch. On the sky deck, the elegant white buildings of Mykonos line the port in precise rows, providing a striking scene for a sumptuous meal outdoors before or after stepping ashore to experience the island’s effortless charm. At sea level, the swim platform invites you to pause with your feet in the water, feeling the sun on your skin before you slip into the inviting Greek waters.

As you move inside, DILARA’s spacious interior unfolds in a series of beautifully curated rooms that showcase modern and contemporary Italian styling. Large glass windows frame the views and draw sunlight deep into the yacht, creating a bright, uplifting ambiance that follows you throughout your journey. In the main saloon, a comfortable lounge flows into a generous dining area, highlighted by shimmering glass fixtures that subtly elevate dinners and celebrations. When the evening calls for music and a change of mood, the sky deck saloon becomes your social hub, with another lounge and bar area that feels tailor-made for after-parties and late-night gatherings. Moving between decks is effortless thanks to the elevator, which adds a layer of comfort and convenience that you will quickly come to appreciate.

When you are ready to retreat, DILARA’s accommodation welcomes you into a world of calm and comfort. Her premium cabins, all with private bathrooms, serve as your personal refuge for 8 days or more, giving you space to slow down and recharge after days filled with swimming, exploring, and entertaining. The master cabin is particularly inviting, with a king bed, long couch, and a dedicated office space where you can briefly reconnect with the outside world if needed. The plush en-suite bathroom, fitted to a 5-star standard and featuring a bathtub, is where you can unwind in complete privacy as the yacht gently moves beneath you.

Out at the edges of the archipelago, DILARA’s tender takes you even closer to the Cyclades’ hidden side, from tucked-away coves to small islands that do not appear on most itineraries. The region is a dream setting for anyone who loves water sports, ancient history, or authentic regional cuisine, often all in the same day. You might start with a morning of activity on the water, follow it with an afternoon among ruins or village streets, and finish with a dinner built around local specialties. Throughout, DILARA stands ready as your home base, a yacht perfectly positioned to help you gather unforgettable memories in Greece.
