Sy Meliti (Garcia 86)

Perfect for discerning sailors who want a proper sailing experience without sacrificing comfort: this 26-metre yacht suits small groups of 4 to 6 guests who appreciate genuine sailing, expertly handled by the professional crew, rather than pure motor-cruising. She's ideal if you're after an active sailing holiday with the polish of a luxury vessel.

Strong sailing credentials combined with her size make Sy Meliti genuinely versatile for Mediterranean exploration. At 26 metres, she's substantial enough to feel special yet nimble enough to access smaller anchorages and less-crowded spots that larger charter yachts can't reach.

Fair pricing for the class, at €61,600 per week, you're paying a premium for a proper sailing yacht with genuine quality, though that budget assumes you'll want a professional skipper included (verify this with Istion). There's no deposit required, which is refreshingly straightforward.

One thing to confirm: the listing doesn't detail exact cabin layouts or onboard amenities clearly. Before booking, ask Istion directly about whether a skipper is included in that weekly rate and get specifics on en-suite facilities, these details matter when flying long-haul to meet the boat.
