MALIA

MALIA is a 77.70-metre custom steel displacement motor yacht built by Golden Yachts in 2023 and updated in 2024, designed throughout by Studio Vafiadis with interiors by Studio Vafiadis and Massari Design. She is among the larger charter yachts operating in the Mediterranean and Caribbean markets, registered in Malta and combining considerable range with a comprehensive onboard programme.

Accommodating 12 guests across eight cabins with a crew of twenty-two, MALIA operates at a crew-to-guest ratio that is exceptional even within the superyacht tier. This staffing level enables the kind of fluid, anticipatory service that long charters demand. She operates across the Mediterranean — Greece, Turkey, Italy, Corsica, Croatia, the Balearics, the French Riviera, and Monaco — as well as the Caribbean, including Antigua, St Barts, Saint Martin, and beyond. With 6,500 nautical miles of range and a cruising speed of 15 knots, transatlantic repositioning is well within her capability.

What sets MALIA apart is the breadth of her wellness and entertainment infrastructure: a hammam, sauna, spa, massage room, outdoor gym, convertible cinema, and a helipad. This is a vessel designed for guests who require the full amenity programme of a boutique hotel at sea. The at-anchor stabiliser system, beach club, and swimming pool extend her capability at anchor, while underwater lights and an exterior bar indicate a yacht designed for evening entertaining as well as daytime activity.

The water sports provision is extensive and current: Fliteboards, Seabobs, Seadoo jet skis, electric surfboard, pedal boards, kayaks, wakeboards, water skis, and an inflatable climbing wall. The tender garage accommodates multiple tenders, supporting independent guest movement around anchorages. MALIA is a yacht for those who want every option available.

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