ELENI returns to charter from a 2026 refit that has reset her almost completely. Delivered by CRN in 2011, the 60-metre still carries the Zuccon-drawn profile that made her generation of Italian displacement yachts so recognisable: a long sheer, a deep flare forward, a mast with genuine presence. Everything behind that profile has been rethought for the way people charter now, and the result is one of the more considered 60-metre propositions working the Mediterranean.
The defining move of the refit is light. Where a yacht of this vintage would once have been dark timber and heavy upholstery, ELENI is now pale oak, travertine and cream wool, with sculptural furniture that curves rather than lines up. Her main salon is arranged around two facing curved sofas and a stone-topped bar, a layout that turns a long room into a place people actually gather. Forward of it, the formal dining table seats twelve beneath a recessed oval deckhead, close enough to the galley for service to stay quiet.
Up a deck, the sky lounge is the room guests tend to claim. A single sweeping sofa runs the length of it, curtains soften the marina light, and the space opens aft to a shaded deck with a dining table and loose seating. A lift connects every deck, which matters more on a six-cabin yacht than the brochures usually admit.
Accommodation is where her volume shows. Twelve guests sleep in six cabins, and the full-beam master runs the width of the main deck with a private terrace folding out to one side, a vanity desk under the window line and a bathroom built around a rectangular whirlpool tub. Below, four doubles and a twin share the same restrained palette, each with its own ensuite, none of them treated as an afterthought.
Her top deck is the argument for chartering her in summer. The jacuzzi sits forward under the radar arch with sunpads wrapped around it, loungers run aft along the teak, and shade sails can be rigged across the whole area when the sun gets serious. An air-conditioned gym sits behind glass with a rower, a spin bike and a view. Right forward on the main deck, a second sun lounge takes the bow, with a curved settee and two enormous circular pads that stay private however busy the anchorage.
The toy inventory is unusually deep, and skewed towards families. Two Sea-Doo jet skis, four Seabobs, two Flite boards, a six-metre FunAir slide and a FunAir jellyfish pool, a Jobe trampoline, wakeboards, water skis for adults and children, two inflatable paddleboards, and twelve sets of masks and fins so nobody waits their turn. There is even an ice tub on board for cold-water therapy. Two seven-metre Castoldi jet tenders handle the running.
Zero-speed stabilisers keep her composed at anchor as well as underway, and a crew of fifteen runs her. She cruises at 14 knots with a maximum of 15.5, carries 984 gross tonnes of volume and a range of some 4,800 nautical miles, and splits her year between the western Mediterranean and the Adriatic and Greek islands. She is built for weeks away rather than weekends.
