Description

XIPHIAS, meaning "swordfish" in Greek, is a timeless beauty that artfully blends heritage and elegance. Originally built in 1974 by Chantier de L'Estérel, this classic motor yacht has undergone a meticulous refit completed in 2023–2024, guided by renowned designer Apostolos Molindris. The result is a vessel that retains her cultural character and vintage charm while offering the modern luxuries and flawless condition expected of a high-end charter yacht. Revered as a true vessel of art, XIPHIAS is ideal for those seeking a one-of-a-kind experience aboard a yacht that is as sophisticated as it is soulful.

Offering the perfect platform for families and close groups of friends, XIPHIAS accommodates up to eight guests in four beautifully appointed cabins, each with its own en suite. Her full-beam master suite, located on the lower deck, offers privacy and refined comfort, while the VIP cabin on the upper deck, flooded with natural light and featuring a walk-in closet, brings a rare and elevated layout to a yacht of this size. Two additional twin cabins ensure a balanced and family-friendly configuration.
