BUNKER is a 40 metre CRN, delivered in 2005 by the Ancona yard and given a full refit in 2025, and she pairs two things that do not always sit together: the warm, classic feel of an Italian yacht of her generation and a bold, genuinely modern art collection that runs right through her. The result is a yacht with real character. Where many charter yachts of her size play it safe, BUNKER commits to a look, and the 2025 refit means she carries it off fresh throughout rather than showing the wear a hull of twenty years can gather.
She is also quick. A top end of 22 knots is a lot of pace for a 40 metre with this much volume, and it changes how a week works. Islands that would be a half day apart come within an easy morning, so a group can chase the quiet anchorage, the lively town or the better weather rather than settling for whatever is closest. That speed, matched to a raised pilothouse hull that lies steady once the anchor is down, makes her well suited to the long distances and the island hopping of a Greek cruising season.
Twelve guests sleep in five cabins. The owner takes a wide master in warm mahogany, a large bed below a striking photographic headboard with a seating area, good light and a private bathroom. The layout runs on through VIP doubles and twins below, each with an ensuite, several able to take a Pullman berth so the yacht flexes between couples, children or a mix of the two. A crew of eight runs her from service areas kept clear of the accommodation, so the guest spaces stay calm and private through the week.
The interior is the heart of her appeal. The main salon carries soft white seating framed by warm mahogany joinery and large windows, and the contemporary art, from pop pieces to sculpture, gives the classic timber a sharp, current edge. A glass topped dining table seats the whole group forward under the same ceiling, and a softer upper salon by the stair gives the group a quieter second room. The refit brought the systems and the finishes up to date without touching the character of the joinery, which is exactly the balance an owner hopes for.
Outside, she layers her deck space the way a yacht of real volume can. A sea pool and sun pads sit on the open sun deck high above the water, the aft decks carry shaded dining and lounge seating close to the swim platform, and the foredeck stays private for anyone who wants to be away from the group. A tender and a spread of watersports gear come with the yacht, launched off the stern for a day in the sea, and the layout keeps twelve guests spread comfortably across the decks without ever feeling on top of one another.
Her home water is Greece and the wider Mediterranean, where she cruises year round. The Cyclades and the Ionian run in long chains of clear, close anchorages, the towns come alive in the evening, and her speed makes the crossings between them easy. With her warm interior, her modern art, her quick hull and her five flexible cabins, BUNKER suits a family or a group of friends who want an active week on one of the finest coasts in the world, on a yacht with a genuine point of view.
