Sail at your leisure in the Greece charter grounds this summer with the spectacular modern sailing yacht BLACK LION (ex.XNOI) from renowned Italian shipyard Perini Navi.

BLACK LION superyacht for charter

Captivate onlookers as you cruise between the Ionian Islands, exploring seaside villages and finding the hidden gems along the way. Superyacht BLACK LION is designed to make the most of life outdoors and has a designated sunbathing area aft of the cockpit, which itself offers a comfortable place to lounge and dine alfresco while taking in sweeping views of the location.

You don’t have to go far from the mainland to end up in scenic surroundings: The Saronic Islands close to Athens are well-known to sailing enthusiasts while all but unknown to the rest of the world. When you find the perfect anchorage, the fold-out transom becomes a beach club with a swim ladder for easy access in and out of the crystal clear sea. You can let off some steam with the water skis, wakeboard and inflatable towable ring from the selection of water toys on board. After, you can relax with lunch alfresco on the shores and wear off any indulgent treats with a nap in the sunshine.

Interiors

When you’re ready to leave the great outdoors, the climate-controlled interiors are a serene sanctuary where the group can still marvel at the views through the windows surrounding the main deck lounging and dining area. Steps lead down to the lower deck lounge which is a comfortable TV den to wind down at the end of a long day.

Deck

S/Y BLACK LION is perfectly sized for extended family or friends couples, and the accommodation sleeps up to 8 guests in 4 en-suite cabins: 1 Master suite and 3 twin cabins, two of which have a Pullman berth. Each cabin comes with TV entertainment, and all bathrooms have a sink, toilet and shower.

Great news from ‘Down Under’! A newly implemented air travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand means yacht owners and guests will now be able to enjoy the pristine waters of New Zealand once more. Yachts can access the remote Pacific country under existing sea border exemptions for vessels, and the yacht owners, plus friends and family, can now fly to join the yacht via the new travel bubble.

New Zealand’s capital city, Auckland

Cruising craft and superyachts departing from Australia can gain entry to New Zealand under an exemption for vessels with NZ$50,000 (approx. €30,000) in service or refit bookings. Owners’ family and friends who have an Australian passport, or alternatively have been allowed into Australia and spent 14 days post-isolation there, can fly to New Zealand through the Australian/New Zealand trans-Tasman bubble and join their vessel.

Incredible mountains and scenery

New Zealand is a highly desirable sailing and refit location, as well as one of the safest places in the world. With Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s Covid-19 response hailed as the gold standard, the country has not had any community transmission for months, and daily life is almost entirely back to normal. As well as safety, New Zealand also offers many benefits for superyacht charters, such as straight-forward entry rules, as well as incredible natural sights and local attractions to enjoy. Wander along golden beaches, explore the breathtaking scenery, and admire the native wildlife – there is so much to see in this remote oasis.

Beaches and blue waters

“We have been waiting over a year now and are very excited that yachts and their owners, leaving from Australia can come to New Zealand. It presents the opportunity for cruising and superyachts to enjoy New Zealand’s cruising grounds, and superyacht regattas; the New Zealand Millennium Cup and the various regattas planned for 2022 by the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron,” says CEO of the NZ Marine Industry Association, Peter Busfield.

So, why not make the most of the new travel bubble and make New Zealand your next must-see charter destination.
