The Ionian Islands are one of the most sought-after destinations in the Mediterranean for luxury yacht charters. Colorful towns, private beaches, and emerald waters are an inviting paradise for guests. Not to mention, the food, wine, history, and architecture in this part of the world are extraordinary.
EKKA Yachts, a yachting consultancy company based in the Mediterranean, created an exciting itinerary so guests can enjoy island hopping across the Ionian Sea and its archipelago. Opportunities to visit hidden beaches in Paxos, discover ancient castles in Corfu, and waterski in private coves in Meganissi ensure an unforgettable holiday. And the ideal yacht to cruise in the Ionian? NIRVANA, a 23-meter Sanlorenzo SX76 that will be based on the island of Lefkas right in the middle of the gorgeous archipelago. She happens to be one of the youngest yachts in the Greek charter fleet and here’s what makes her special:
Sanlorenzo has been building high-quality motor yachts since 1958. The Italian shipyard pushes boundaries in design and technology to produce some of the most exceptional yachts on the water. NIRVANA is a new 2021 Sanlorenzo SX76 that balances a large volume with the unmistakable characteristics of the brand. At 23.75 meters long, NIRVANA offers a smooth and silent ride cruising comfortably at 16 knots. She has stabilizers at anchor that ensure maximum comfort.
NIRVANA was built to entertain guests. The full-beam beach club is one of the largest in its size category, with extra room to lounge in the sun, dance under the stars, or dive into the cool sea. A hydraulic swim platform sinks into the water, making it easy to launch a variety of water toys.
The sundeck can be arranged for alfresco dining for up to 8 guests; it’s covered with a hardtop that offers shade and air conditioning during warm days in the Ionian. Electric panels in the hardtop and sliding glass windows open for guests who want to enjoy the sea breeze. NIRVANA is outfitted with mobile-controlled audio and TV systems, with independent sound systems in each area of the yacht. Guests can hit play from their phones to turn up the fun on the water.
For a quiet escape, the bow of this SX76 is a private outdoor spot, complete with sun pads and cushions for uninterrupted sunbathing.
NIRVANA makes the most of onboard living areas as she boasts the highest volume in her size category. The inviting interior is designed with contemporary decor and modern amenities. Full-length windows flank the main deck salon offering natural light in a stylish setting. A forward galley provides 360-degree views of the water as guests take a break for a snack or cup of coffee.
This Sanlorenzo yacht charter can accommodate 8 guests across 4 comfortable cabins. The master cabin is equipped with a king-size bed, walk-in closet, vanity/desk, and ensuite facilities. The VIP cabin and two twin cabins also feature ensuite facilities. The cabins are spread across the lower deck, making it an ideal layout for families.
Cannonball into the emerald Ionion waters. The crew will assist guests with the toys to ensure a safe and adventurous yacht charter. NIRVANA comes with an iAQUA, standup paddleboard, inflatable sofa, snorkeling gear for kids and adults, 2 Hobie Mirage Eclipse, and 2 Flite E-foil boards (upon request). An Axopar 37 Cross Cabin -Brabus Line, can support wakeboarding and waterskiing for adults, while the SX76 hydraulic swim platform is the perfect spot for kids to dip into the water safely.
ΝIRVANA is available for charter in the Ionian starting at €47,000 during low season and €55,000 during high season. For bookings contact your charter broker.
