PANAKEIA

PANAKEIA is a 45.50-metre steel displacement yacht built by Astondoa in 2008 and comprehensively refitted in 2025, registered in Greece. Interior design by Cristiano Gatto Design contributes a considered aesthetic to a hull and platform originally engineered by Astondoa for long-range cruising. At 496 gross tonnes on a steel displacement hull, she carries the mass and range associated with serious passage-making rather than coastal day-tripping.

With capacity for 10 guests across five cabins and a crew of nine, PANAKEIA maintains a crew ratio that supports thorough, attentive service throughout a charter. Her regional spread — France, French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, Corsica, Sardinia, Monaco, and Italy — makes her well suited to guests planning extended western Mediterranean itineraries. Those seeking a high-speed performance yacht or a vessel for exploring the eastern Mediterranean would find her range of 4,500 nautical miles more than adequate, though her cruising pace of 12 knots reflects her displacement character.

The 2025 refit is a material point of distinction: it places PANAKEIA among the more recently updated steel displacement yachts of her size in charter, addressing the concern that older hulls of this class can accumulate deferred maintenance. The Astondoa platform is built for extended offshore passages, and at-anchor stabilizers reduce motion in exposed anchorages — a practical consideration across Corsican and Sardinian west-facing bays.

The onboard inventory is substantial: a beach club, deck jacuzzi, elevator, exterior bar, jacuzzi, sun deck with sunpads, and BBQ constitute the principal amenity spaces. Water sports provision is extensive — two jet-skis, three e-foilboards, four sea-scooters, kayaks, paddleboards, water-skis, climbing wall, and fishing and snorkelling equipment. The beach club and elevator are amenities that distinguish a yacht charter of this size class from smaller vessels.

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