BUBBLY is built for speed most charter yachts her size don’t bother with. Twin MTU engines push her aluminium hull to 26 knots flat out, with a comfortable 20-knot cruise, fast enough to treat the Greek islands as a real itinerary rather than a single anchorage revisited all week.
Admiral Yachts built her in 2004 and a refit completing in 2026 has brought the interior current: CNL Liguri’s exterior lines stay lean and fast-looking at anchor, while Yankee Delta Studio’s interior favours pale wood, soft grey upholstery and uncluttered surfaces over anything that reads as dated. At 219 GT on a 32-metre platform she carries her volume efficiently, nothing about the layout feels squeezed for a yacht built to move quickly through the water.
Five staterooms mix doubles, twins and convertible berths, sleeping 10 guests with a crew of six on hand. The owner’s cabin runs full-width with its own sitting nook and desk; a second guest suite is panelled in dark wood with its own flatscreen; and one twin cabin is set up plainly for children, teddy bear included, a small detail that says more about who this yacht is built for than any brochure copy could.
On deck, the layout keeps things social rather than formal. A teak bar with stools sits forward of an oval dining table under the radar arch, both shaded and both usable at once without guests getting in each other’s way. Below, the salon runs lounge into dining in a single open room, anchored by a wraparound sofa on each side and a dining table that seats the full charter party without feeling like a separate formal space.
What BUBBLY does not try to be is a scaled-down superyacht. Her range, 606 nautical miles, is built for island-hopping close to home rather than ocean crossings, and her charter rate reflects that focus rather than an attempt to compete with much larger yachts on volume. She operates out of Greece year-round, cruising the same islands in winter as in summer, which makes her a genuine option for an off-season charter most 32-metre yachts don’t offer.
For a group that wants speed between anchorages, a family-friendly cabin plan, and a genuinely Greek season rather than a single Mediterranean summer window, BUBBLY is built around exactly that brief, quick, comfortable, and based where she cruises rather than repositioned in from somewhere else. Guests who charter her more than once tend to book the same week each year, drawn back by how little fuss the whole week involves compared with a much larger yacht carrying the same size of group.
Stabilizers at anchor and underway keep the ride settled whether the yacht is running between islands or sitting at a mooring for the evening, a detail that matters more on a fast planing hull than it does on a slower displacement yacht. Combined with the shallow 2.7-metre draft, it opens up smaller harbours and closer anchorages that larger charter yachts in the same fleet simply cannot reach, which is very much the point on a Greek-islands itinerary built around variety rather than a single marquee anchorage.
