AQUARIUS | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

A charter through the Cyclades, Greece aboard AQUARIUS begins with the steady presence of Captain Ali Göksoy, whose composed nature and strong leadership set the tone for life on board. Having joined the yacht before her launch, he understands AQUARIUS in exceptional detail and takes great pride in maintaining her to the highest standards while ensuring that every guest experience feels smooth and memorable. First Mate Emre Köse brings valuable experience from years cruising the Aegean coast and Greek islands, where his strengths in deck operations, safety management, and customer care have become an essential part of the yacht’s day-to-day rhythm. Chief Engineer Eray Eren completes this core operational team with his engineering background, technical precision, and long familiarity with AQUARIUS, helping everything run seamlessly from morning to night.

The culinary experience is in the hands of Chef Mustafa Ozdemir, whose energetic approach and internationally influenced cooking style make dining one of the highlights of the charter. His career has moved through restaurants, hotels, yachts, and overseas experience in South Africa, giving him an adaptable and well-rounded foundation that guests can taste in every course. With additional study in Asian cuisine, Argentine steak traditions, and French patisserie, Mustafa brings range and creativity to the galley while keeping each menu thoughtful and guest-focused. Against the beautiful setting of the Cyclades, his cuisine adds richness, comfort, and a strong sense of anticipation to each day on board.

Overseeing the interior is Chief Stewardess Sümeyra Karakaplan, who blends hospitality training, luxury customer care, and years on AQUARIUS into a style of service that feels confident and intuitive. She is joined by Stewardesses Vira Romandash and Yuliia Andreieva, each bringing a distinct strength to the guest experience. Vira’s background as a spa professional introduces a welcome sense of wellbeing through personalised treatments and attentive care, while Yuliia’s experience in VIP hospitality adds calm structure, flexibility, and dependable support throughout the charter. Together, these seven named crew members create an atmosphere aboard AQUARIUS that feels secure, polished, and wonderfully well-suited to the pleasures of the Cyclades.

Overview:
AQUARIUS seems made for Greece, her gleaming white profile looking right at home among sunlit ports, ancient coastlines, and the shifting blues of the Aegean. This Mengi Yay 45m luxury motor yacht pairs sleek modern design with a full collection of amenities that make each day on board feel open to possibility, whether the mood is sociable, leisurely, or adventurous. Her spaces are arranged to encourage easy movement between outdoor enjoyment and indoor comfort, giving every guest room to settle into their own pace. It is the sort of yacht that turns a well-planned charter into something that feels deeply personal from the first day onward.

On the expansive sundeck, the view alone can shape the mood, especially when the picturesque ports and ancient landmarks of Athens provide the perfect backdrop to an afternoon Ouzo and shared conversation. The journey continues toward Mykonos, where the island’s brilliant white architecture frames a gourmet alfresco meal before inviting you ashore to explore its atmospheric alleyways. Out on the foredeck, mornings feel especially rewarding, beginning with breakfast in the open air, a slow moment in the jacuzzi, or time spent on the cushioned loungers watching the sea stretch away in every direction. Each outdoor area brings a different mood, helping the day unfold naturally from one pleasure to the next.

The interior of AQUARIUS is equally inviting, with expansive contemporary spaces illuminated by panoramic glass windows and washed in soft natural light. This brightness gives every room a calm, radiant quality, creating an atmosphere that feels both spacious and soothing after hours spent outdoors. Her luxurious cabins, each with a private en-suite, offer guests comfort and privacy in equal measure, making longer itineraries feel as easy as a weekend away. Every evening ends in a setting designed to restore and refresh, readying you for the discoveries of the next day.

Ashore, the charm of Sifnos adds another rewarding dimension to the charter, especially for guests with an appetite for authentic food and local flavor. Elsewhere, the Cyclades provide all the contrast and beauty one could hope for, from turquoise waters and cliffside villages to endless reasons to stay active. AQUARIUS answers that energy with an exciting range of water toys that keep every anchorage lively and full of possibilities. The balance between scenic calm and playful movement is what makes this journey feel so complete.
