LIDIA: a quick Ferretti that pairs wakeboard afternoons with a Jacuzzi
LIDIA is a Ferretti motor yacht with a quick, sure stride, and she has been refitted. Speed shapes the way she travels. Passages between anchorages pass briskly, so more of each day goes to the water itself rather than to the journey towards it. Her crew look after the boat, the tender and the table, leaving guests free to decide only where to swim next. She lends herself to people who like their days active, with a Jacuzzi waiting once the activity is done.
With the anchor set, the Novurania tender sets the tempo of the afternoon. It tows the Wakeboard, the Tube and the Water Ski in turn, then runs guests ashore whenever someone wants a stroll on dry land. Those who prefer a gentler pace can take the Paddleboard across still water, put on the Snorkeling equipment to look along the rocks below, or set the Fishing rod over the stern and let the hour drift by. Everyone finds their own speed without the yacht needing to move at all.
Late in the day the Jacuzzi comes into its own: a warm soak after cool water and a good place to watch the light change. The BBQ then turns supper into an easy affair outdoors, perhaps featuring whatever the Fishing rod brought up, though no one is obliged to count on it. Inside, the salon offers shade and a quieter mood, with the Salon TV and Salon Stereo for those who want them, and Netflix on the satellite TV for a film once the plates are cleared.
WiFi internet keeps guests connected when they choose, and switching off is just as easy. Her cruising area is Greece, where her pace suits a coastline of scattered islands and sheltered bays: a quick hop after breakfast can reach a fresh anchorage well before lunch. Wherever the day leads, the rhythm aboard LIDIA holds steady: brisk on passage, playful at anchor and unhurried by evening, with a crew who keep each part of it running smoothly.
