WHITE KNIGHT

WHITE KNIGHT is a 40-metre planing motor yacht built by Maiora in 2008 and refitted in 2021, sailing under the Maltese flag. She represents the performance-oriented end of the Italian production sector — Maiora having built a reputation for combining aggressive speed capability with well-appointed interiors — and her recent refit signals a vessel maintained to a current operational standard.

She is well suited to active groups and social charters of up to twelve guests, accommodated across six cabins with a crew of seven ensuring a considered level of personal service. Her charter regions cover the Mediterranean broadly, with Greece and Mykonos among her listed destinations — both well matched to her planing hull, which allows her to cover inter-island distances efficiently and reach anchorages that slower displacement yachts might sacrifice time to reach. She is less well suited to extended blue-water passages or guests seeking the quiet, low-profile experience associated with displacement cruising; WHITE KNIGHT is, at her core, built for pace and activity.

Among yachts of comparable size, her maximum speed of 32 knots places her firmly in the performance category, and a range of over 1,100 nautical miles makes her one of the more capable in her class for regional cruising without frequent fuel stops. At-anchor and underway stabilisers represent a meaningful comfort feature, reducing fatigue on longer passages and improving the onboard experience at rest in open anchorages — something guests on exposed Greek island moorings will appreciate.

The onboard character is oriented around outdoor living and water access. A sun deck, deck jacuzzi, swimming platform, and sunpads create a layered exterior that suits groups who prefer to spend their time above deck and in the water rather than below. The water toy inventory is substantial for the size — twin jet-skis, Seabobs, wakeboard, water-skis, and paddleboards — positioning WHITE KNIGHT as a natural choice for charterers who expect activity to be built into the experience. A gym rounds out the amenity list for guests who prefer to maintain a routine underway.

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