VEVEKOS is a 24 metre Tecnomar from 2009, a fast and sleek Italian motor yacht that pairs real pace with a bright, contemporary interior for a relaxed week in the South of France and the wider Mediterranean. She looks after six guests across three cabins with a crew of three, and her appeal is the way she covers ground: a quick planing hull with a serious turn of speed, so a busy itinerary of bays and harbours becomes easy and more of the week is spent swimming, exploring and settling into quiet anchorages. For a couple or a small group of friends who want a stylish, well kept yacht with the legs to roam, she is a confident and comfortable choice.
Her point of difference is that Tecnomar character: low, sporting lines and a light filled interior that feels far larger than her length. She runs fast and rides cleanly, so the long hops between harbours become short and simple, and at rest she drops into a cove with the ease of a yacht built for leisure. An attentive crew of three keeps the days running smoothly, from the first coffee on deck to a late dinner ashore or aboard, and the result is a yacht that feels lively and quick when the schedule asks and calm and comfortable once the evening draws in, intimate and personal from the first morning to the last.
Life in the open air spreads across her decks. The foredeck carries a private run of sun pads with a low table, a calm place to lie back in the sun with an open view over the water, while the side decks run clean and wide to the bow and the bathing platform at the stern opens the yacht to the sea for swimming and the tender and toys. In the warm months the open deck is the sociable heart of the yacht, a natural gathering point for a long afternoon and for drinks as the light drops over the bay, with clear water always a step away and the coast slipping past as she moves between anchorages.
Inside, the mood is bright, crisp and contemporary, finished in soft white with pale upholstery and large windows that keep the sea in view from every seat. The main salon is a comfortable, open living space with a sculptural curved sofa and a low table, a calm and sociable lounge that opens to the light, while a dining area close at hand with a glass table seats the whole party beneath soft overhead light. Forward and a little apart, the raised helm carries the controls and a further seat with a commanding view ahead, a characterful space that recalls the yacht’s sporting roots. The clean white finish and the generous glass give the interior an airy, modern feel from end to end.
Accommodation is arranged over three cabins for six guests, set below the main deck where the motion is gentlest. The master stateroom takes a generous, private position with a wide bed, soft furnishings and its own bathroom, bright with natural light, while a double guest cabin, quiet and comfortable with its own facilities, looks after the rest of the party and a further cabin completes the plan. It is an intimate, flexible layout built for a couple or a small group of friends, each cabin finished to the same crisp, modern standard. Fast, stylish and attentively crewed, VEVEKOS is a relaxed and genuinely enjoyable way to charter the South of France and the Mediterranean with good friends kept close.
