EMMYS 2025: The 5 Yachts I Can’t Stop Thinking About

This April, I had the incredible pleasure of attending the EMMYS Yacht Show in the picturesque port town of Poros, Greece — and what a week it was! From the moment I arrived, the energy was absolutely contagious. The event was filled with elegance, excitement, and that unique atmosphere found only in the yachting world.

It’s moments like these that remind us why we do what we do — and why choosing the right yacht and crew makes all the difference. If a Greek charter is on your horizon, now’s the time to start planning!

As a yacht charter broker, there's truly nothing more valuable than stepping on board the yachts we represent, getting to know the crew, and experiencing the atmosphere firsthand. The EMMYS isn’t just a yacht show — it’s a full immersion into the charter lifestyle. Being there reminded me of just how important this personal experience is when recommending yachts to clients. No brochure or spec sheet can compare to experiencing a yacht in person and sensing its unique character.

One of the highlights for me was connecting with the incredible crews. Their warmth, professionalism, and passion for what they do were unforgettable. Each team welcomed us like guests, and the culinary experiences onboard were truly top-tier. From freshly caught seafood to exquisitely crafted Greek dishes, it was a delicious reminder of how integral great food is to the charter experience.

What made this experience even more special was the opportunity to visit some of the nearby islands. I had the great pleasure of exploring Kea, Cape Sounio, Serifos, and Kythnos — and I was lucky enough to do so aboard the stunning power catamaran Crazy Horse. The trip itself was magical, but what made it truly unforgettable was the incredible crew. Their kindness, warmth, and attentiveness made a lasting impression on me. They created a welcoming atmosphere that turned a beautiful itinerary into a deeply personal experience. It’s safe to say that the Crazy Horse crew has found a permanent place in my heart.

Exploring the Greek isles aboard Crazy Horse was pure magic — but it was the crew’s warmth, care, and heart that turned the journey into something truly unforgettable.

Greece is, without a doubt, one of my favorite countries. The combination of stunning landscapes, deep history, warm-hearted people, and — of course — the incredible food make it a dream destination. Getting to explore it by yacht, while doing what I love, is something I’ll never take for granted.

After touring dozens of incredible yachts at the EMMYS 2025, a few truly stole my heart. Whether it was their standout design, exceptional crew, cozy yet luxurious vibe, or just that unexplainable feeling you get when you step onboard — these five yachts left a lasting impression. Each one offers something unique and unforgettable, and I can’t wait to share them with you.

Here are the five yachts I haven’t stopped thinking about since Poros — my top yacht charter picks from Greece:

S/Y GENNY

S/Y Genny, a standout at the EMMYS, impressed with her elegance, exceptional Italian crew, and the full five-star charter experience.

S/Y Genny, a stunning Sunreef 80, was one of the yachts that completely captured my heart at the EMMYS. With her sleek design, spacious layout, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow, she’s built for both luxurious Greek island cruising and long-range adventures.

Her bow lounge is a dream — cozy, shaded, and perfect for soaking in the views. The entire layout feels open, elegant, and effortlessly comfortable.

What truly sets Genny apart, though, is her all-Italian crew — by far my favorite of the show. Not because I live in Italy (though it did feel like home), but because they were genuinely exceptional: warm, professional, fun, and full of heart.

With her sleek design, open layout, shaded bow lounge, and gourmet cuisine, Genny is built for luxurious, unforgettable cruising.

I didn’t have dinner onboard, but I was lucky enough to sample a few dishes from Chef Mattia, their incredibly talented Venetian chef. The flavors were creative, refined, and absolutely delicious — a clear glimpse into the five-star culinary experience guests can expect.

Genny is more than just a beautiful yacht — she offers the full charter experience, making her an easy favorite from the show.

S/Y ABOVE & BEYOND

Above & Beyond stole the spotlight at EMMYS 2025 with its award-winning cuisine, impeccable crew, and refined boutique-hotel atmosphere at sea.

One of my absolute favorites at EMMYS 2025, Above & Beyond is a stunning Sunreef 80 that truly delivers on every level. With over 340 m² of living space, she offers sleek design, total comfort, and thoughtful touches throughout — from the panoramic saloon to the flybridge with a Jacuzzi, barbecue, and sunbeds.

The crew? Absolutely five-star — attentive, kind, and deeply professional. And Chef Savvas? Truly exceptional. I couldn't stop eating! His dishes were flavorful, creative, and beautifully presented — and it’s no surprise he's won multiple awards, including 1st place in Tablescaping and 2nd in the Diamond Category at EMMYS 2024 and EMMYS 2025.

With 340 m² of stylish living space, a Jacuzzi on the flybridge, and fully equipped en-suite cabins, she’s designed for luxury, comfort, and remarkable experiences.

Each of the four en-suite cabins is equipped with a Bluetooth sound system, charger, safe, slippers, luxury toiletries, daily cleaning, and fresh linens every two days — everything you’d expect from a floating boutique hotel. There’s also plenty of storage and top-tier water toys for all ages.

Above & Beyond is elegance, comfort, and fun all wrapped into one unforgettable yacht. A true standout.

S/Y ACE OF HEARTS

Ace of Hearts captured hearts at the show with its welcoming crew, heartfelt energy, and the kind of personal touches that make you feel instantly at home.

Fully refitted in 2025, Ace of Hearts is a beautifully maintained Lagoon 52 that blends comfort, style, and smooth sailing in one elegant package. She’s perfect for large families or groups, accommodating up to 12 guests across five double cabins and one bunk-bed cabin — all bright, modern, and welcoming.

The crew? One of my absolute favorites from the show. So warm, kind, and genuinely lovely — the kind of people who make you feel at home the moment you step aboard (and honestly, you just want to hug them!). Their energy and attention to detail create an atmosphere that’s both relaxed and unforgettable.

Fully refitted in 2025, this Lagoon 52 offers sun-filled interiors, spacious decks, and comfort for up to 12 guests — perfect for relaxed group getaways.

And then there’s Chef Anna, who completely won me over with her cooking. I still think about the pain au chocolat I tasted on board — perfectly flaky, buttery, and hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. Just one of the many thoughtful, homemade touches that made the experience feel so personal.

With generous deck areas, a bright, sun-filled interior, and a recent full refit keeping everything in top condition, Ace of Hearts is a feel-good yacht through and through — a hidden gem and one of the most heartfelt experiences I had at the show.

S/Y HYDRUS

Hydrus offers a calm, elegant escape with a fun, easygoing crew — perfect for families or groups seeking a relaxed yet refined Greek island experience.

Named after the Greek primordial god of fresh water, Hydrus is a 2023 Lagoon 55 that beautifully combines meaning, mood, and modern design. From the moment you step aboard, there's a distinct flow of calm and elegance — from the soothing interiors to the open-air social spaces, she offers a truly serene escape on the water.

She features five en-suite cabins (four doubles and one convertible twin), all spacious, bright, and thoughtfully designed with soft lighting and a refined, tranquil color palette. Every corner of the yacht — from the serene saloon to the upper and lower deck dining and lounging areas — invites relaxation and connection.

With soothing interiors, spacious en-suite cabins, and open-air lounging across multiple decks, this 2023 Lagoon 55 is designed for effortless comfort and ambiance.

I’d say this is a great crew for younger or party-leaning groups — relaxed, fun, and easygoing, all while maintaining excellent service. They’re also very welcoming to families and know how to create a balanced, enjoyable onboard vibe.

Although I didn’t dine onboard this year, I did have lunch on Hydrus during last year’s show — and I still remember how incredible the food was. The chef is truly amazing, and their ability to adapt to different dietary needs and preferences makes the dining experience even more impressive.

Hydrus is sleek, inviting, and effortlessly comfortable — a wonderful choice for families, friends, or anyone looking to experience the Greek islands with a touch of elegance and warmth.

S/Y POSEIRA

With a graceful debut in 2025, Poseira impresses with her serene elegance, warm professional crew, and effortlessly refined charter experience in Greece.

Brand new for 2025, Poseira is a stunning Lagoon 55 that radiates elegance and light. From the moment you step onboard, you’re surrounded by soft, serene tones that reflect the color of the sea — creating a calm, inviting atmosphere throughout.

The yacht is beautifully designed, offering all the space and comfort you’d expect from a top-tier Lagoon, with a layout that’s perfect for both relaxing and socializing.

Bathed in soft sea-toned hues, this brand-new Lagoon 55 offers spacious comfort, tranquil design, and the perfect setting for both relaxation and easygoing social moments.

What truly makes Poseira shine, though, is her crew. Led by a highly experienced captain and supported by a fantastic team, the service is warm, professional, and effortlessly smooth. Whether you're exploring hidden coves or enjoying slow mornings on deck, you're in excellent hands.

A fresh, luxurious addition to the Greek charter scene — Poseira makes a graceful entrance into the Greek charter scene.
