Incredible yacht, adrenaline sailing, very high-end Scandinavian meets Japanese interior design. White, minimalism, elegant and clean lines.
Much-loved Captain Evangelos, the crew has stayed with him for a long time.
And the crew is wonderful. The Deck hand Ramen is from Belfast and he also plays Irish music - he is just fantastic. “We are in the business of creating memories,” he says and explains how they do live music nights, candlelight dinners with stargazing on the flybridge, and titanic moments on the bow when the dolphins come to ride the bow wake - it happens often, he assures.
Great yacht for a sophisticated client
Is not restrained by weather as motor yachts
Can leave port comfortably with 25 knots, 30+ with sails if guests comfortable = almost guaranteed to reach desired itinerary in Cyclades
Cuts through waves like a knife at 12 knots
Interior is minimalistic futurism, accentuated by central minimalistic decoration with multisuensual overlay- smell, sound
Definitely gets attention arriving to port
BARACUDA VALLETTA Yacht Description
-
2 x SeaDoo Jet-Skis:
Fast, easy thrills and quick island hops when you want a break from sailing. -
Seabob:
Premium underwater seascooter fun for exploring coves, reefs, and swim stops together. -
Hydraulic swim platform:
Lowers below water level for simpler swim access and smoother tender boarding.
Serious sailing platform. BARACUDA VALLETTA is a 164ft/50m Perini Navi sailing yacht built in 2009 and refit in 2024, set up to sleep 10 guests in five suites. If you want the real sailing-yacht feel without giving up modern comfort, she’s on-message.
Water access, upgraded. The standout is the transom door that opens into a big swim platform for sunbathing and easy swim sessions. Better: the hydraulically operated platform can be lowered below the waterline for less clambering, more swimming.
Minimalist, bright interiors. John Pawson’s contemporary interior keeps things clean and light, helped by expansive windows and an open-plan main deck layout. Calm. Not cluttered.
Toys for all ages. You have a 6.1m/20ft tender plus a full spread for on-the-water days: Jet-Skis, Seabob, wakeboard, water-skis (including adult), banana/towables, SUPs, snorkelling gear, and light fishing gear.
