PERSEFONI I

PERSEFONI I is a 53.8-metre displacement yacht built by Admiral Yachts in Italy in 2012, sailing under the Maltese flag and brought to current standard following a refit in 2021. Her steel hull and displacement form reflect Admiral's background in serious bluewater construction — a builder better known for structural integrity than aesthetic fashion, which suits a yacht of this scale well. At 928 gross tonnes, she carries meaningful volume for her length, translating to interior proportions that are generous rather than squeezed.

As a charter yacht, PERSEFONI I is well-configured for groups of up to 12 guests across six cabins, supported by a crew of 13 — a ratio that places her firmly in the attentive-service tier. She operates primarily in Greek waters, making her a natural candidate for Aegean and Ionian itineraries. She is best suited to families, friend groups, and multi-generational parties who value a combination of structured crew service and active water use. She is not ideally suited to couples seeking a boutique, intimate vessel, nor to guests primarily interested in passage-making or offshore cruising.

Among displacement yachts in the 50-metre range, PERSEFONI I stands out for her range. With a quoted 5,000 nautical miles at cruise, she sits toward the upper end of capability within her class — a figure that, in the Greek context, is rarely tested but signals strong engineering margins and fuel efficiency that supports extended cruising without the logistical pressure of frequent refuelling. Her at-anchor stabilisers are a meaningful comfort feature, reducing roll in exposed anchorages across the islands where swell can catch vessels in otherwise protected-looking bays.

Onboard, PERSEFONI I is oriented strongly around outdoor living and water access. The beach club and swimming platform create a natural interface between yacht and sea, while the sun deck, outdoor bar, and jacuzzi establish a social rhythm suited to long days at anchor. The water toy inventory is substantive — two WaveRunners, a pair of SEABOBs, a hoverboard, kayaks, wakeboards, and fishing equipment — covering a broad range of activity levels and ages without requiring guests to bring anything aboard. The overall character is active and sociable rather than formal or contemplative.

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