TAKA

TAKA is a 30-metre aluminium-hulled motor yacht built by Stephens in 1976 and significantly refitted in 2022, bringing her systems and interior up to a contemporary standard while preserving the structural integrity of a vessel constructed when long-term build quality was the prevailing expectation. Her aluminium construction is a meaningful distinction at this size, offering a strength-to-weight ratio that translates directly into responsive handling and a hull that ages with considerably more resilience than fibreglass alternatives of the same era.

As a charter yacht operating across the Mediterranean — with a particular focus on Greece and the Mykonos circuit — TAKA is well suited to small groups of up to seven guests who value attentive crew service over sheer volume of space. With four cabins and five crew aboard, the staff-to-guest ratio is notably generous, which tends to define the quality of the experience more than square footage alone. She is not the right choice for families with very young children seeking a large, enclosed play environment, nor for groups requiring the social scale of a 40-plus-metre vessel.

What distinguishes TAKA from contemporaries in her size class is the combination of a proven offshore hull with a 2022 refit — a pairing that gives prospective charterers a degree of confidence that newer, lighter builds sometimes cannot match. Her cruise speed of 14 knots with a top end of 22 knots provides practical flexibility across the Greek island itineraries where harbour-to-harbour passages are rarely extended. At-anchor stabilisers are a considered addition for this region, where beam-on swells can make overnight anchorages uncomfortable on vessels without them.

Onboard, TAKA is oriented around active water engagement rather than passive relaxation alone. Her water sports inventory is comprehensive for a 30-metre vessel — covering everything from water-skiing and fishing to snorkelling and towable inflatables — making her particularly well suited to guests who expect the sea itself to be part of the programme. Sunpads and air conditioning serve those moments between activity, and the inclusion of wheelchair accessibility broadens her suitability to a wider range of guests meaningfully.

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