ARCHSEA

ARCHSEA is a 31-metre custom wooden motor yacht built by HG Yachts in 2014 and operating under the Turkish flag. No exterior or interior designer is formally credited, which is consistent with the bespoke, craft-led nature of construction at Turkish yards building in wood. At 135 gross tonnes, she is a compact displacement vessel whose wooden hull places her in a distinct category from the fibreglass and steel yachts that dominate the sub-40-metre charter market. Her timber construction is an aesthetic and material choice with its own constituency.

She accommodates up to nine guests across five cabins, with a crew of five. Her charter operations are centred on Turkey, Greece, and the Aegean — Mykonos is listed specifically — making her well positioned for the Eastern Mediterranean coastal and island circuit that forms one of the most consistent charter markets in the region. ARCHSEA is suited to guests who are drawn to a classically-proportioned yacht with a measured, unhurried pace. She is not the right vessel for those expecting the performance, scale, or amenity depth of a modern GRP or steel build.

The character of ARCHSEA derives principally from her wooden construction, which produces a visual warmth and tactile quality that aluminium and GRP hulls cannot replicate. A displacement top speed of 16 knots is appropriate for the coastal itineraries she serves, and the combination of Aegean charter territory and a manageable five-cabin layout makes her operationally straightforward for a small, experienced crew.

On deck, ARCHSEA offers a jacuzzi, BBQ, outdoor bar, and swimming platform. Her water toy provision is modest but functional: paddleboard, water-skis, snorkelling equipment, and fishing gear. The emphasis here is on relaxed on-deck time and use of the surrounding sea rather than an intensive water sports programme. For the right guest — one seeking a charter yacht with character, in some of the most navigable cruising waters in the Mediterranean — this is a coherent offering.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
