MY LIFE is a 27.4 metre Maiora, an Italian motor yacht from a yard known for warm, well built cruisers, delivered in 2007 and given a full refit in 2021. She is a classic flybridge motor yacht in the best sense: warm cherry timber inside, wide teak decks outside and a comfortable turn of speed, built for long, easy days along the coast. For a family or a group of friends who want to cruise the Amalfi Coast and the Bay of Naples in comfort, with eight guests across four cabins, she is a well judged and well kept size.
Her point of difference is how completely she uses her decks. A flybridge runs across the top of the yacht with seating, shade and space to spread out, the foredeck lays out as an open sun lounge with the water close on three sides, and the aft deck carries a dining table under shade a step from the swim platform. Between them the group can always find sun or shade, company or a quiet corner, through the long Mediterranean day.
Inside, the mood is warm and welcoming. The main salon is finished in cherry timber, a long pale sofa and low tables gathered under wide windows that keep the sea in view, and it opens straight out to the aft deck at anchor so the living space runs from inside to out. A dining table sits forward for the whole party, and the galley behind is bright and well fitted, a sign of how thoroughly she was prepared for looking after guests.
Accommodation is for eight guests in four cabins, all with their own bathrooms. The master is a wide double with a soft headboard and a sofa alongside, the further cabins run to a pair of doubles and a twin, all finished in the same warm cherry timber with portholes at the waterline. The layout suits two couples with children, or four friends sharing, with the twin taking children or friends and the master giving the lead couple real space of their own.
A crew of four run her, and the care shows in the everyday of a charter here. Meals appear on the shaded aft deck or up on the flybridge, the tender and water toys are launched the moment the anchor is down, and the smaller comforts are quietly taken care of. She is a yacht that has been maintained with real attention, and the ease of her crew turns a week aboard into something relaxed and personal rather than merely serviced.
Her home water is the Bay of Naples and the Amalfi Coast, and she is well matched to it. From Naples and Sorrento along to Capri, Positano and Amalfi the coast gives clear anchorages under dramatic cliffs and towns that come alive after dark, with the islands of the bay close at hand. With her warm classic interior, her wide shaded decks and a crew of four, MY LIFE offers a comfortable and sociable way to cruise one of the most beautiful coasts in Italy.
