PIOLA | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

There is a special kind of ease that comes from exploring the Cyclades aboard PIOLA, and much of that comes down to her experienced crew of 5 led by Captain Kostas Zogkas. With more than 20 years in the yachting industry and a trusted history with the owner, he combines strong navigation, sound judgment, and thoughtful leadership to deliver a charter that feels smooth from the first welcome to the final farewell. Backed by Engineer Sotiris Efthimiou, Bosun Andrew Deligiannis, and Chief Stewardess Yiota Papavasilopoulou, he ensures that every guest can settle in and enjoy the beauty of Greece without a single worry.

At the heart of the onboard experience is Chef Nikos Kalemanis, whose cuisine brings flavor, finesse, and a sense of occasion to every day at sea. His decade-plus career in high-end restaurants and luxury hospitality, together with his Le Monde Culinary School training, allows him to create menus that feel both elegant and personal. As PIOLA glides through the Cyclades, guests can look forward to beautifully prepared dishes inspired by Mediterranean and international influences, all served with the kind of care that turns dining into one of the highlights of the charter.

Throughout your stay, Chief Stewardess Yiota Papavasilopoulou adds comfort and polish with an instinctive understanding of guest care and an eye for detail that makes a real difference. Her Silver Service, bartending, and barista training bring extra refinement to the onboard atmosphere, whether she is setting the table for lunch or serving evening drinks after a day ashore. Alongside her, Andrew supports every outdoor activity with his deck knowledge and Speedboat Operator Licence, while Sotiris brings calm assurance behind the scenes with his engineering expertise and practical seamanship, helping PIOLA deliver a secure and beautifully run Cyclades escape.

Overview:
PIOLA arrives with a presence that feels fresh, athletic, and unmistakably Sanlorenzo, making the Sanlorenzo SL102 Asymmetric luxury crewed motor yacht a standout choice for exploring Greece in style. Her exterior lines are sleek, modern, and sporty, giving her a strong personality that suits the energy of the Cyclades perfectly. Backed by a 20-knot engine, she offers the thrill of swift movement across the water without giving up the comfort and refinement expected of a high-end charter. Every area on board has been arranged to support the way guests really want to spend their time, from laid-back lounging to lively social moments and restorative downtime between island stops.

Morning light, sea views, and the scent of salt in the air define life on deck, especially on PIOLA’s expansive sundeck, where the views over picturesque ports and ancient temples in Athens make even the quietest moments feel cinematic. This is where stories are shared over a chilled bottle of Ouzo and where the city slowly gives way to open-water anticipation. Later, the port of Mykonos delivers a scene full of character, with its ivory architecture creating a memorable backdrop for an alfresco feast before you head ashore to enjoy the island’s relaxed charm. The foredeck lounging area brings its own ritual, inviting you to begin the day with a satisfying breakfast, stretch out on cushioned sun beds, and watch the horizon unfold in front of you.

Step inside and the atmosphere shifts into something calm, airy, and beautifully detailed, with PIOLA’s spacious interior showcasing a seamless mix of modern and contemporary Italian design. The extensive glass windows draw in generous natural light, giving the interior spaces a radiant quality that feels uplifting from morning through evening. There is a sense of ease in the way everything flows, allowing guests to move effortlessly between social spaces and quieter corners. Her premium cabins, each with a private bathroom, offer a deeply comfortable base for charters of eight days or longer, creating the perfect environment to rest well and prepare for another day packed with adventure.

For those who want to see a different side of the Cyclades, hopping on the tender to visit Sifnos is a pleasure in itself. Known as a haven for foodies and culinary aficionados, the island rewards every visit with local flavor, authenticity, and a pace that feels delightfully unhurried.
