HELIOS

Helios is a 35.5-metre planing motor yacht built by Falcon Yachts in 2010, registered under the Greek flag and available for charter in Greek waters. Constructed with a GRP hull and rated at 198 gross tonnes, she represents a capable mid-sized motor yacht well-suited to the demands of the Aegean and Ionian seas. No refit is recorded in available documentation.

With accommodation for twelve guests across five cabins and a crew of six, Helios is well-matched to groups seeking an active, sociable charter experience in Greece — island-hopping parties, extended family groups, and friends travelling together will find the configuration works naturally for them. The crew-to-guest ratio, while not the most intensive in her class, is appropriate for the style of charter she supports. She is less suited to couples or small groups seeking an intimate, highly private atmosphere, or to charterers expecting the refined service levels associated with larger or more crewed vessels.

Helios is a planing hull, which sets her apart from the displacement and semi-displacement yachts that dominate much of the 35-metre class. At a cruise speed matching her maximum of 23 knots, she covers ground efficiently — a genuine advantage when navigating the spread of Greek islands, where the distance between anchorages can vary considerably. This speed capability makes her a practical choice for charterers who want range and flexibility within a single itinerary, rather than being anchored to one cruising ground. The GRP construction and stabilisers contribute to a comfortable passage in the moderate sea states typical of Aegean summer conditions.

Helios is oriented firmly around outdoor living and active water use. The sun deck and sunpads provide ample space for relaxing at anchor, while the swimming platform and outdoor bar create a natural social hub between swims. The water toy inventory is genuinely well-stocked for her size — a WaveRunner, wakeboard, kayaks, paddleboard, snorkelling gear, and fishing equipment give the charter a strongly recreational character. Tenders, crane, and the overall deck layout suggest a crew accustomed to managing an active programme on the water.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
