IRENE is a Ferretti motor yacht with the quiet confidence of Italian building: clean lines, sound materials and an arrangement that lets guests pass easily from the saloon to the open deck. She has been refitted and upgraded, so the comfort aboard is current while her character remains her own. Her cabins offer a private retreat at the end of the day. Her crew look after the running of the yacht, the meals and the small attentions, which leaves guests to decide only how each day should unfold.
Much of life aboard happens outside. Breakfast can be taken in the fresh air, the afternoon given over to reading or dozing in the sun, and dinner served on deck as the evening cools. After a day of swimming there is nothing to hurry towards. The deck becomes a place to linger well into the night, talking over a last glass beneath the stars while the yacht rests quietly at anchor.
The toys give each anchorage its variety. The Seabob draws a swimmer smoothly beneath the surface, while the waterskis bring a livelier hour on the water. A kayak and an inflatable paddle board offer a quieter way to follow the shoreline, and the Aquamarine Bluedrive Spower fin SUP motor lets the board cover more water with little effort. A single tube and a double tube suit younger guests, and snorkelling equipment is ready for anyone who wants to look below.
She cruises in Greece, where her crew can plan days around the next anchorage rather than the logistics of getting there. Her pace allows good distances between stops while still leaving time to swim, and the tender takes guests ashore for a walk, a meal or a quieter beach. However a charter is shaped, the arrangement holds: guests set the rhythm, and the crew see to everything else.
