Rare Diamond brings a welcome shot of colour to the Greek islands. This 32 metre Sanlorenzo, built in 2011 and fully refitted in 2022, trades the usual muted palette for something brighter and more playful: crisp interiors lit by vibrant bursts of teal and pattern, a mood that feels relaxed and contemporary rather than formal. For a party of up to eleven, she is a sociable, easy going yacht with the quality of build that the Sanlorenzo name carries.
The 2022 refit is felt everywhere. Her main deck opens into a bright, open plan salon and dining space, the sofas and armchairs in pale fabrics lifted by turquoise accents and framed by large windows that keep the sea close. It is a single, flowing social volume rather than a series of closed rooms, which suits the way charter groups actually live aboard, moving easily between a drink in the lounge and a meal at the table. Artwork and considered detailing give the space personality without clutter.
Outside, Rare Diamond makes the most of her length. The upper deck carries a shaded lounge and a dining table, a comfortable spot to gather out of the midday sun, while the bow sun pads offer a quieter, more private perch for sunbathing at anchor. Aft, a covered deck lounge opens straight onto the view, and the large swimming platform turns the sea into an extension of the living space.
Accommodation is arranged across five staterooms sleeping eleven. The master suite is calm and bright, with two VIP suites and two twin staterooms, one with a Pullman berth, giving families and groups of friends a genuinely flexible layout. Each cabin carries its own splash of colour over a clean, contemporary base, and each has an en suite.
Life aboard follows the islands. Rare Diamond cruises at a brisk 22 knots and tops out near 28, so a morning passage can reach a far anchorage in time for lunch, and the afternoons belong to the water: Seabobs and paddleboards off the platform, a swim in a clear Cycladic bay, a late lunch in the shade. Her crew of six keep the days running smoothly, warm and attentive without ever intruding on the easy mood the yacht sets.
Her scale is part of the appeal too. At 32 metres with five cabins, she is big enough to carry eleven guests and a full complement of toys yet small enough to slip into the quieter coves that larger yachts cannot reach, and nimble enough to move between them without fuss. For families who want a yacht that feels substantial but never unwieldy, she sits in a genuinely useful spot.
What makes Rare Diamond stand out is personality. Many yachts in her size and class play it safe with neutral interiors; she does not, and the result is a charter that feels fresh, bright and a little joyful. The 2022 refit means her finishes are current and her systems sound, and the open plan main deck gives her more sociable space than her length suggests.
For a lively, light hearted charter through the Aegean and the Saronic Gulf, Rare Diamond is a distinctive choice. She combines Sanlorenzo build quality with a refreshed, colourful interior and a sensible, flexible layout, and she charters from 80,000 EUR per week.
