MELI | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

Your journey through the BVI aboard MELI unfolds under the guidance of a 6-member crew led by Captain Dimitris Tsiknis, a knowledgeable leader with a lifelong passion for the sea and over ten years dedicated to this very yacht. His familiarity with her cruising routes, quiet anchorages, and guest-friendly rhythms allows each day to feel personally shaped rather than scheduled. With his warm manner and confident leadership, Captain Dimitris creates an atmosphere where guests can settle in, trust the journey, and look forward to what comes next. Supporting him are Chief Engineer Athanasios, whose steady expertise keeps every behind-the-scenes detail running smoothly, and deckhands Stylianos and George, who bring energy, safety, and easygoing assistance to water activities, tender rides, and time spent on deck.

Each day is enhanced by the culinary talents of Chef Nikos, whose flavorful creations reflect his years spent in world-class restaurants and luxury hotels. Picture relaxed lunches served after a swim in clear BVI waters, the scent of fresh ingredients drifting from the galley, and dinners plated with care as the sky deepens over the anchorage. His menus add color and flavor to your time aboard MELI, turning dining into one of the highlights of the charter. Inside, Chief Stewardess Olga brings charm and precision to every detail, from crisp table settings and attentive service to the small comforts that make the yacht feel welcoming, polished, and completely easy to enjoy.

Captain Dimitris and his crew of Athanasios, Nikos, Olga, Stylianos, and George work in perfect coordination to make your charter aboard MELI feel effortless. Their teamwork can be felt in the way towels appear after a swim, drinks arrive just as the sun begins to soften, and each activity flows naturally into the next. With safety, service, cuisine, and guest comfort handled with genuine care, every day on the water feels relaxed, lively, and beautifully looked after, giving you the freedom to enjoy the BVI at its most inviting.

Overview:
Cruising the Cyclades aboard the Ferretti 881 luxury motor yacht MELI is a treat for guests who appreciate refined spaces shaped by her extensive 2023 refit. Her upgraded interior draws the Aegean light deep into the yacht through redesigned windows, creating a bright, inviting atmosphere that changes with the sea outside. Soft oak tones, sleek leather details, and contemporary styling give each lounge and guest area a polished warmth, so every moment on board feels comfortable, stylish, and easy to enjoy.

At the aft deck, dinner transforms into an event as you gather around a beautifully set table while island silhouettes glow in the distance. The air carries that unmistakable Greek mix of sea breeze, warm stone, and coastal cooking, turning every evening into a scene worth lingering over. Her exterior decks reveal shifting panoramas of cliffside villages, open blue water, and sunlit harbors, while the swim platform makes it tempting to slip straight into refreshing Cyclades waters. Up on the flybridge, the Jacuzzi, spacious sun-pads, and breezy lounge areas create a lively hideaway for sun-soaked afternoons, sunset drinks, and conversations under the Aegean sky.

Inside MELI, the main saloon becomes a welcoming retreat where guests can unwind with books, board games, or movies. After a day of swimming, exploring, and cruising between islands, its calm interior offers a cool, sociable space to regroup before the next adventure. The cabins, all equipped with private en-suites, provide peaceful havens designed for slow mornings, restful nights, and the quiet pleasure of having your own comfortable space at sea.

With MELI guiding you from island to island, the Cyclades reveal a mosaic of experiences, from culinary discovery in seaside towns to exploring sacred sites and hidden shores. One day may bring a swim in clear water beneath honey-colored cliffs, the next a wander through whitewashed lanes or a long lunch beside a harbor alive with local character. Whether your itinerary leans toward adventure, culture, or pure relaxation, this yacht brings the comfort, personality, and easy rhythm that make a Greek getaway feel full of life.
