One of the fastest 50-metre yachts in the industry, with the range to reach quieter corners of Greece other boats simply can't — think the Sporades or the Dodecanese, far beyond the usual Mykonos-Santorini circuit. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior with light, and two master cabins give real flexibility for groups. A standout: wind-glass around the sundeck for comfortable anchoring, even on breezy days. The crew is exceptional, and the captain knows every secret spot.

Stepping into LA PELLEGRINA 1's saloon is an immediate wow — open, light, and beautifully designed, with a striking mural of Catherine the Great wearing the pearl the yacht is named for. Her efficient, military-grade hull carries her up to 28 knots in comfort. The master cabin is grandiose with its own private aft deck, and the top deck's glass sliding doors create a smart, wind-sheltered lounge. Ask about her captain's favorite secluded corners of the Dodecanese and southern Peloponnese.
