ELENI | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

The Italian Riviera feels beautifully within reach aboard ELENI, where a dedicated crew of 13, with experienced rotational support, creates a charter experience built on safety, service, and quiet confidence. Captains Nicholas and Lane lead the team with warmth and capability, each bringing a different strength to the journey. Captain Nicholas carries a life shaped by the ocean, from his early days surfing and diving in Sydney to professional chapters across the Great Barrier Reef, the Arctic, the South Pacific, and the Mediterranean.

Captain Lane adds a grounded and highly experienced presence at the helm, having started his maritime career in the Whitsundays before becoming a captain in 2005. His love of fishing, wide-ranging cruising background, and engineering insight help create a charter that feels exciting without ever feeling uncertain, giving guests the comfort of knowing every detail is being considered. His adventurous yet steady approach adds confidence to every day on the water.

A strong operational team supports the experience throughout the yacht, with Chief Engineers Phil and David, First Officers Gavin and Guy, Second Officer Alex, Bosun Joe, Deckhands Ralph and Benj, and Engineer Simon working together to keep everything moving seamlessly. Their skill is felt in the ease of the day, from smooth passages and tender movements to safe deck operations and the quiet order that makes luxury feel natural.

Chef Sebastian brings the Italian Riviera to the table through a refined culinary approach shaped by 15 years of experience and time spent learning from world-renowned chefs. His passion for Mediterranean ingredients turns each dining experience into a highlight, while Chief Stewardess Zoe, Aimee, Nataliya, and Jade complete the atmosphere with attentive, thoughtful hospitality that lets guests feel cared for without ever being crowded.

7-Day Sample Motor Yacht Yacht Charter Itinerary in the Italian Riviera:
Leave the historic port of Genoa aboard the 50m CBI Navi motor yacht ELENI for a 7-day Italian Riviera yachting itinerary where old-world coastal beauty, blue horizons, and refined onboard living unfold at an unhurried pace. From the first view of Liguria’s dramatic shoreline, ELENI sets the tone for a charter filled with sunlit cruising, elegant harbor towns, scenic anchorages, and the quiet pleasure of seeing the Mediterranean from your own private world at sea.

Shape your days around the experiences that speak to you most, whether that means long hours under the sun, fresh coastal cuisine served with a sea breeze, time ashore in historic villages, or blue-water adventures that bring everyone closer to the water. The Boatbookings team will work closely with your crew to personalize each detail, allowing your itinerary to feel thoughtful, fluid, and beautifully aligned with the way you want to travel. With their trusted experience, every stop becomes more than a destination; it becomes part of a richer Mediterranean rhythm.

ELENI is also available throughout the year for charters in Sardinia, the Amalfi Coast, Sicily, and the French Riviera. During summer, she graces the East Mediterranean, ready to bring guests toward new horizons, fresh coastlines, and moments that linger long after the final sunset.

Overview:
ELENI brings a grand yet graceful presence to the Italian Riviera, with the CBI Navi 50m luxury yacht offering the kind of floating retreat that makes every coastline feel closer, richer, and more personal. Her sleek architecture, four decks of beautifully appointed spaces, and smooth cruising capability create a setting where guests can drift between social moments, quiet corners, and uninterrupted sea views with complete ease.

The sundeck becomes the place everyone naturally returns to, with Portofino and the open sea spreading out around you in brilliant layers of blue. A bar and lounge invite relaxed drinks and conversation, while the bronzing area and jacuzzi create the perfect rhythm of warmth, bubbles, and coastal breeze. Later in the day, the sky deck sets the stage for a thoughtfully prepared alfresco dinner as the sunset deepens, while morning brings a softer mood on the foredeck, where breakfast feels beautifully calm against the sea.

Indoors, ELENI balances polished design with a warm, natural atmosphere that feels made for longer stays at sea. Teak details and ambient lighting bring depth and comfort, while glass windows fill the saloon and shared spaces with daylight. Her suites offer ensuite bathrooms and refined finishes for restful privacy, while the master cabin stands out with a spacious bed, personal lounge, and dedicated workspace for guests who want a quiet place to read, reflect, or reset.

As the itinerary reaches La Spezia, the Italian Riviera reveals a more textured side through hillside villages, winding alleyways, and the charm of authentic coastal life. Evenings on board feel especially memorable here, with candlelit dining, a favorite aperitif, and dramatic cliffs glowing in the last light. Before the journey closes, guests can return to the water with the toys for a final round of diving and exploration along the coastline that shaped the entire escape.
