MARLA

Marla is a 50-metre displacement yacht built by Amels in 1999 and comprehensively refitted in 2020, sailing under the Greek flag. Amels has long been regarded as one of the Netherlands' most exacting custom builders, and Marla reflects that heritage through her steel hull and considered, seamanlike construction. The 2020 refit signals active investment in her condition — a meaningful indicator for charterers evaluating a yacht of her vintage.

As a charter yacht, Marla is well-matched to groups of up to 12 guests who value attentive, high crew-to-guest service — her crew of 12 matches guest capacity on a one-to-one basis, a ratio more commonly found on larger vessels and one that noticeably elevates the quality of service aboard. She is ideally suited to experienced charter guests seeking comfort and range across the Greek islands, and she operates exclusively in Greece. She is less suited to those seeking a shallow-draft vessel for tight anchorages or first-time charterers who may not fully leverage the structured service environment she provides.

At 603 gross tonnes on a displacement steel hull, Marla offers a solidity of passage that lighter GRP contemporaries in her size range cannot match. Her range of 5,500 nautical miles places her among the more capable long-range yachts in the 50-metre class — well in excess of what Greek island itineraries demand, which means she is never pressed at passage-making speeds and delivers a notably settled ride. Her active stabilisers further contribute to comfort underway.

Marla is oriented around a generous outdoor living experience, with a sun deck and deck jacuzzi providing elevated space for relaxing between anchorages. Her water sports inventory is extensive and well-structured for active groups — jet skis, Seabobs, windsurfers, wakeboards, and towables collectively suit guests who want variety on the water rather than a passive experience at anchor. The gym rounds out a practical wellness offering for longer charters. Crew service at this ratio leans toward the attentive and anticipatory, with little left to self-management.

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