O'RION

O'Rion is a 41-metre displacement motor yacht built by Italian yard Siar Moschini in 2003 and refitted in 2017, sailing under the Greek flag. She carries 294 gross tonnes on a GRP hull and represents a well-established mid-size platform in the Eastern Mediterranean fleet — a segment where her refit places her among the more recently updated examples of her generation.

Designed around a crew-to-guest ratio of eight to twelve, O'Rion is well suited to families, social groups, and those seeking a structured cruising programme through the Greek islands. Her six cabins accommodate guests without the sense of overcrowding that can affect smaller hulls pressed into similar configurations. She is not, however, a natural fit for large event groups expecting resort-scale facilities, nor for guests whose primary interest is extended offshore passages — her 800-nautical-mile range, while adequate for Aegean and Ionian itineraries, keeps her firmly within regional waters.

What distinguishes O'Rion within her class is the displacement hull form, which prioritises a smooth and stable passage over outright speed. Cruising at 15 knots, she covers ground efficiently without the fatigue that higher-performance planing yachts can introduce on longer legs between islands. The 2017 refit signals a meaningful investment in her operational condition, suggesting systems and interiors consistent with contemporary charter expectations rather than the wear typical of an unrenovated vessel of her age.

As a charter yacht, O'Rion is oriented strongly toward outdoor and water-based living. The deck Jacuzzi and steam room provide recovery options after active days, while the water toys roster — including a Yamaha WaveRunner, windsurfers, water-skis, and snorkelling equipment — reflects a considered approach to active itineraries. Two tenders extend range from anchorage, and the crew of eight is well positioned to deliver attentive, unhurried service throughout a Greek islands programme.

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