BROOKLYN

Brooklyn is a 37-metre displacement motor yacht built by Akdeniz Shipyard in 1997 and most recently refit in 2025 — a significant investment that positions her well among the older generation of Mediterranean-built timber-composite vessels. Registered under the Greek flag, her wood and GRP composite construction reflects a traditional approach to yacht building that was characteristic of quality Aegean shipyards in that era, combining structural warmth with practical durability. She carries 320 gross tonnes and operates with a displacement hull that prioritises stability and comfort over outright speed.

As a charter yacht available across Greece, Brooklyn is best suited to small, sociable groups of up to ten guests who are after an unhurried passage through the Greek islands in the company of a five-person crew — a ratio that allows for attentive, personal service. She is not ideally suited to families with very young children, guests requiring extensive onboard sport or high-speed activity, or those prioritising long-range bluewater passages; her 1,000-nautical-mile range is appropriate for regional island-hopping rather than extended ocean crossings.

What distinguishes Brooklyn within her class is the 2025 refit, which marks a meaningful refresh of a vessel approaching her third decade. Among Greek-flagged motor yachts of similar vintage and size, a recent refit of this scope signals serious owner commitment to operational standards. Her displacement hull delivers predictable, settled motion in the often unpredictable Aegean chop, and her underway and at-anchor stabilisers extend that comfort further — a practical advantage during longer transits or nights at anchor in exposed bays.

Life aboard Brooklyn is oriented around relaxed communal experience rather than high-octane activity. The jacuzzi and sauna give the vessel a wellness dimension that complements leisurely island itineraries, while jet skis and water skis provide enough variety to satisfy guests who want occasional bursts of activity between anchorages. Wi-Fi connectivity and air conditioning are well-suited to the demands of the Eastern Mediterranean season, and her three-person crew support structure extends to a 3.2-metre tender for shore access. The overall character is one of quiet, confident comfort — traditional in spirit, refreshed in execution.

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