Thirty six metres is the size charter groups arrive at after a thirty felt tight and a forty felt like more yacht than the week required. At roughly one hundred and eighteen feet it carries a swim platform, a sun deck and a crew of six without becoming a berthing problem in Portofino or Bonifacio in August.
Ten motor yachts sit in this bracket and they come from very different benches. Benetti holds three with Quest R, ALLORA and Edesia, while Tansu, Mulder, ISA, Numarine, Sanlorenzo and Huzur Yat contribute one each, so no two layouts repeat. Eight of the ten run five cabins, Amore adds a sixth and Surfbird keeps four larger rooms. Capacity spans eight to twelve guests.
Weekly rates run from ninety five thousand euros to one hundred and sixty five thousand, with the median near one hundred and seven thousand and most of the fleet between ninety five and one hundred and twenty thousand. An advance provisioning allowance of roughly thirty percent covers fuel, food, berthing and drinks. Build year moves the number here far more than a metre of length does.
This is a coast hopping size rather than a passage making one. From Antibes a week reaches Saint Tropez, Porquerolles and southern Corsica without a night at sea, and from Naples the Amalfi coast sits inside an afternoon. Draft keeps the smaller Greek and Croatian harbours open through August. Send us your dates and we will show you what is free.
