ILLUSION 2

ILLUSION 2 is a 40-metre custom aluminium displacement motor yacht built by Lloyds Ships in 1991 and refit in 2023, with exterior design by Scaro Design and interiors by Oguz Develi. As an aluminium vessel of this vintage brought forward through a recent refit, she offers a combination of proven structural integrity and refreshed systems, delivered at a scale accessible to a wider range of charterers than larger vessels in her cruising grounds.

Accommodating up to 12 guests across six cabins with a crew of eight, ILLUSION 2 operates in Greece, Turkey, and the eastern Mediterranean — Mykonos among her established ports of call. She is well-matched to families or groups who want reliable coverage of the Aegean at a comfortable pace. At a cruising speed of 11 knots and a range of 3,500 nautical miles, she is configured for considered itinerary planning rather than rapid repositioning. Those prioritising speed or a very high crew-to-guest ratio will find alternatives better suited to those preferences.

Scaro Design's exterior and the Oguz Develi interior represent a coherent approach to a vessel that has been updated rather than rebuilt. The 2023 refit ensures that the fabric of the yacht meets the expectations a contemporary charter yacht market brings, while the aluminium hull maintains the weight and sea-keeping characteristics appropriate to Aegean conditions. Underwater lights extend the ambience into evenings at anchor.

On the water, ILLUSION 2 carries a broad toys programme: two jet skis, two Seabobs, ringos, paddleboards, water skis for adults and children, a wakeboard, kneeboard, canoe, windsup board, fishing equipment, and snorkelling gear. A deck Jacuzzi, gym, sun deck, exterior bar, and swimming platform provide the onboard leisure infrastructure. The crew of eight ensures attentive service across an active summer programme.

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