Built by Italcraft in 2009 and comprehensively refitted in 2024 under the eye of Galeazzi Design, ELEVEN I is a 28-metre planing motor yacht that trades the displacement comfort of larger vessels for raw speed and an open-air lifestyle perfectly suited to Greek island hopping. Twin MTU engines push her to a maximum of 46 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 25 knots, giving her the pace to cover multiple islands in a single day and still be anchored in a sheltered bay well before sunset.
Her exterior layout is built around three distinct social zones. The aft deck centres on a teak dining table that seats the full complement of nine guests beneath a fixed hardtop, with steps leading down to a swim platform fitted with a Williams Jet tender, two Seabob F5 units, a kayak, a ski and a selection of inflatable water toys for all ages. Amidships, the foredeck offers a broad sunpad that doubles as a lounging platform under a retractable bimini, and a second dining area forward of the windscreen provides a quieter alternative for lunch with a sweeping view over the bow.
Inside, the open-plan main salon brings lounge and dining together in a single bright volume. Oversized hull windows line both sides of the cabin, flooding the space with natural light even when the yacht is at anchor. Deep sofas port side face a low entertainment unit, while the starboard dining table seats eight beneath flush LED panels. The 2024 refit replaced the original upholstery, cabinetry and lighting with warmer tones and textured fabrics, giving the interior a contemporary feel without stripping away the clean Italcraft design language.
Below decks, four staterooms accommodate up to nine guests in genuine comfort. The full-beam master cabin sits amidships, fitted with a king-size bed, a walk-in wardrobe and a stone-and-glass en-suite bathroom. Natural light enters through hull windows at the waterline, and individual climate control lets guests set their own temperature. Forward, the VIP stateroom mirrors the master layout with a king bed beneath an overhead hatch that doubles as a skylight. Two twin cabins complete the accommodation, one of which includes a Pullman berth for a ninth guest, and each has its own en-suite shower room and portlight ventilation.
A crew of five manages every aspect of the charter from navigation and engineering to galley service and water-sports instruction. Stabilisers fitted during the 2024 refit keep the ride smooth both underway and at anchor, and the shallow draught of just over one metre allows ELEVEN I to nose into coves and anchorages that deeper-hulled yachts must pass by.
Available from EUR 42,000 per week in the summer low season and up to EUR 45,000 at peak, ELEVEN I charters exclusively in Greece, covering the Cyclades, the Saronic Gulf, the Ionian Islands and the Dodecanese. Her combination of genuine planing speed, open-deck living and a crew-to-guest ratio that approaches one to one makes her an outstanding choice for families and friend groups who want to pack as much of the Aegean into a single week as the weather will allow.
