ALEXANDRA is a beautifully proportioned 50-metre motor yacht built by the prestigious Italian shipyard Benetti and delivered in 2002, the sixth launch in Benetti’s celebrated Golden Bay series and one of the most respected and sought-after charter yachts of her size, particularly in Greece. Comprehensively refitted over the years, most recently in 2023, she combines timeless Italian elegance with modern comfort. Her classic exterior lines are the work of the acclaimed naval architect Stefano Natucci, and have aged beautifully, with a distinctive blue hull, white superstructure and a gently raked bow, while her bright, spacious interior is by the internationally renowned British designer Terence Disdale, whose understated, quietly contemporary style feels composed, elegant and relaxed. Built on a full-displacement steel hull with an aluminium superstructure over three decks, she is a comfortable, sea-kindly cruiser fitted with stabilisers for smooth passages and settled nights at anchor, well suited to extended cruising across the Mediterranean. Her interior is defined by understated elegance and warmth, with light oak panelling in a scrubbed, open-grain, matt finish, burl oak surfaces with a lime-scrubbed texture and carpets in soft beige and off-white tones that harmonise throughout to create a natural, inviting and calming atmosphere. The main salon and formal dining areas are bright and welcoming, and a wonderful signature feature is a set of fold-down balconies that open out from the main deck to bring the sea even closer. Life on deck is a genuine highlight, with beautifully proportioned spaces for indoor and outdoor living. The spacious sundeck offers a blend of sun and shade with a jacuzzi spa pool, generous sunpads, a semi-circular settee, a shaded dining table and a bar with a barbecue, while the aft dining terrace can be opened up via fold-down balconies, and a generous swim platform and beach club make time on the water effortless. Accommodation is arranged for up to 12 guests in an impressive seven staterooms, an unusually generous layout for a yacht of her size. The full-width master suite is uniquely positioned aft on the upper deck, offering splendid exterior views through expansive glazing, a separate study, a king-size bed, a large en-suite bathroom and direct access to the upper aft deck. Two VIP suites are located forward on the main deck, each with a king-size bed and en-suite, while two double and two twin staterooms on the lower deck, all with en-suite facilities, complete flexible accommodation ideal for families, couples and groups of friends. A professional crew of 12 delivers warm, attentive and highly regarded service. Powered by twin MTU engines, ALEXANDRA cruises comfortably at around 14 knots with a top speed of some 16 to 18 knots. Cruising the Greek islands and the wider eastern Mediterranean, from Athens and Mykonos to the Cyclades, as well as the Adriatic coast of Croatia, she offers charter guests a wonderful combination of Benetti Golden Bay pedigree, timeless Disdale style, exceptional accommodation and outstanding, well-established crew service aboard one of the finest charter yachts in her class. With her proven charter reputation, spacious layout and outstanding hospitality, she remains a firm favourite for exploring the Aegean in comfort and style. Available for charter through Cecil Wright and Partners, ALEXANDRA is offered at rates from EUR 180,000 per week plus expenses.
