Vela

Vela is a 14.4-metre sailing yacht launched in 2023 and berthed at Yacht Club Mai, set up for three cabins and a maximum of six guests. She charters exclusively as a whole boat: cockpit, foredeck, saloon and all three cabins belong to one private group for the entire duration of the trip.

The 2023 build year is not a minor footnote. Interior finishes remain in outstanding condition, the navigation electronics meet current standards, and the onboard systems have yet to accumulate the wear that successive back-to-back charter seasons leave on older hulls. For guests who are genuinely evaluating modern performance sailing yachts rather than sorting by price alone, this detail narrows the field considerably.

At 14.4 metres, Vela delivers real liveaboard comfort on multi-day passages while drawing shallow enough to reach anchorages that larger hulls routinely bypass. Groups sailing from Yacht Club Mai can choose relaxed coastal day sails or plan a blue cruise of several days, with the route shaped by the wind and the collective mood on deck. When a popular bay fills up, a yacht of this size can relocate to a quieter spot in a short tack, a flexibility that diminishes sharply with increasing hull length.

Sailing Vela is an actively physical pleasure. The gradual heel as the mainsail fills, the responsive feedback of a well-trimmed rig, the quiet satisfaction of dropping anchor at the end of a full day under canvas: these moments matter to guests who are here to sail, not simply to be transported. Because the entire yacht is chartered privately, the pace belongs entirely to the group. Early departures, long lunches at anchor, an unplanned change of heading mid-afternoon: none of it requires negotiation.
