NATASSA is a fast Ferretti flybridge yacht that has been kept genuinely current, with a 2021 refit that brings a 2007 hull up to date for charter. At 24 metres she sits in a well judged part of the market: large enough for four cabins and eight guests, small enough to stay nimble and affordable, and quick enough to turn a long coast into a short hop. For a group exploring the Greek islands and the eastern Mediterranean, she offers the performance and the planning efficiency Ferretti built its name on, without the running costs of a larger yacht.
Her appeal starts with pace. Twin Caterpillar engines drive her to a top speed of thirty knots and a comfortable cruise of twenty four, backed by zero speed stabilisers that hold her steady at anchor as well as underway. That combination matters in the Aegean, where the distance between two good anchorages can be covered before lunch and the yacht stays level through an afternoon meltemi. Outside, the aft cockpit and the flybridge give guests their open air space, and a swim platform at the stern opens onto the water with a full suite of toys ready for the day. Time aboard is spent largely in the sun and the sea, with the yacht used to reach the next bay rather than to linger in a marina.
Inside, the main salon is warm and inviting, finished in rich timber with pale sofas and a formal dining area set against large windows. It is a single bright level that keeps the group together, with a well equipped galley supporting the crew of four. The styling is classic rather than minimalist, the kind of comfortable interior that wears well and suits a family as readily as a group of friends.
Accommodation is arranged across four cabins sleeping up to eight guests, each with its own ensuite. The master and a VIP offer full double beds and good natural light, while a further double and a twin give a broker room to place couples, children and friends sensibly across the yacht. The cabins sit on the lower deck where the motion is gentlest, finished in the same warm timber as the salon and laid with crisp linen. It is a layout built for a real group rather than a brochure one, and an easy one to fill.
Run by a crew of four, NATASSA cruises the Greek islands and the wider eastern Mediterranean through the summer, where her speed and stability play directly to the way the region is cruised. For a group that wants a quick, comfortable and well maintained yacht at a sensible price, she is a straightforward and rewarding choice, and one that leaves the budget for the parts of the trip that matter most.
What a 2021 refit buys on a yacht like this is not headlines but confidence: updated systems, fresh soft furnishings and a finish that looks after itself through a hard charter season. Paired with the zero speed stabilisers and the planing hull, it means a group can plan an ambitious week of island hopping and trust the yacht to keep up. For many charterers that reliability, at this price, is worth more than another metre of length or a newer transom.
