PROJECT STEEL

PROJECT STEEL is a 34-metre steel-hulled displacement motor yacht built by Bugari in 1993 and sailing under the Greek flag. Refit in 2020, she carries her three decades of service with the credibility of a thoroughly refreshed working vessel — the kind of yacht that rewards closer inspection. Her displacement hull and 190 gross tonnes give her a solidity that lighter, more modern builds rarely match at this length.

With accommodation for 12 guests across five cabins and a crew of seven, PROJECT STEEL maintains a notably attentive crew-to-guest ratio that supports a more personalised charter experience. She operates exclusively in Greece, making her well suited to extended Aegean and Ionian itineraries where range and sea-keeping matter. She is best suited to groups seeking active, water-focused cruising — families, small social groups, and fishing or watersports enthusiasts in particular. She is less well suited to guests whose priorities are interior design aesthetics or the social cachet of a newer build.

What distinguishes PROJECT STEEL within her class is the combination of a steel displacement hull and a quoted range of 3,000 nautical miles — placing her among the longer-ranging vessels of her size. Stabilizers underway meaningfully reduce roll in open water passages, which is relevant on any serious Greek island circuit that ventures beyond the sheltered channels. This is a yacht built for passage-making as much as anchoring.

Onboard, the experience is oriented around outdoor living and water access. A deck jacuzzi and a well-stocked water sports inventory — jet skis, wakeboards, kayaks, paddleboards, fishing equipment, and towables among them — give active guests a full programme without leaving the vessel. The gym and air conditioning reflect a refit that addressed both comfort and activity. The 6.2-metre tender provides capable shore access across the anchorages that define Greek island cruising.

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