MALIA is a 77.7-metre motor yacht delivered by the Greek shipyard Golden Yachts in 2023, designed by Studio Vafiadis with interiors by Massari Design. Her tri-deck axe bow, the first of its kind on a Golden Yachts build, extends the full-beam owner’s suite far forward on the main deck, while longitudinal full-height windows bathe the interiors in natural light throughout.
The interior showcases over 250 different surface finishes, exotic woods and precious stones, with sculptural illuminated waves overhead in the main and upper saloons and a custom Lasvit crystal chandelier cascading through the central staircase, lit by a glass-bottomed pool on the sun deck above. Two glass-bottomed pools feature in total, one on the main deck aft illuminating the beach club lounge below, the other lighting the heart of the staircase from the sun deck.
Accommodation spans eight suites for up to 12 guests, anchored by the full-beam owner’s suite finished in ebony and bronze with its own desk, seating area, vanity and walk-in wardrobe. The sea-level beach club houses a Finnish sauna, Turkish hammam and massage room, complemented by a sundeck gym, a pickleball court on the bow, and an extensive water toy collection including a Seabreacher submersible watercraft, one of the few available in the charter market. A glass elevator services every deck.

The exterior deck spaces of Malia are laid out for the full range of superyacht charter experiences. An expansive aft deck provides a natural gathering point for meals and aperitifs, while the upper deck and sun deck above deliver progressively more sweeping views across the water. At 77.7 metres, the yacht offers considerable deck area for a group of 12 guests, with lounging, dining and social areas distributed across multiple levels to ensure privacy and variety throughout the day. Whether anchored off an idyllic coastline or in a bustling marina, the outdoor decks of Malia create a superyacht experience that extends naturally from the interior to the sea.
Malia’s water sport and leisure inventory is curated to offer genuine variety across any charter itinerary. A selection of high-quality tenders enables seamless transport between yacht and shore, whether for a restaurant dinner, a market visit or a beach excursion. Beyond transport, jet skis, paddleboards, kayaks, snorkelling and diving equipment support time on and in the water, while towable toys and inflatable platforms make the yacht accessible to guests of all ages and inclinations. The crew’s expertise with the toy inventory ensures that every session is safe, enjoyable and as adventurous as guests choose to make it.
Charter itineraries aboard Malia span some of the world’s finest sailing grounds. Based in Caribbean and West Mediterranean, she is positioned to offer guests access to the most sought-after destinations in yachting: secluded coves accessible only by sea, historic port towns with exceptional dining, vibrant anchorages surrounded by like-minded yachts and genuinely remote coastlines where the only company is wildlife. The professional captain works with guests to construct an itinerary that balances activity and rest, discovery and relaxation, with the flexibility to adapt each day’s plan to the wind, the weather and the preferences of the group.
