Three luxury yachts—Just Marie III, Daiquiri, and Bliss—are showcased at the Mediterranean Yacht Show in Nafplio, Greece, with scenic sea and mountain backgrounds.

My Top 3 Yachts from the Mediterranean Yacht Show in Nafplio

I just got back from the Mediterranean Yacht Show in Nafplio, Greece, and honestly, this is one of my favorite parts of the year as a charter broker.

There’s a huge difference between looking at yacht photos online and actually stepping onboard, meeting the crew, seeing the layouts in person, and experiencing how a yacht really feels.

Some yachts are beautiful in photos but don’t feel comfortable in person. Others completely surprise you the second you step onboard.

This year there were a few yachts I genuinely couldn’t stop thinking about after leaving the show, but these three were my favorites: JUST MARIE III, BLISS, and DAIQUIRI.

JUST MARIE III

A large white yacht anchored on calm blue water near mountainous coastline, with a small tender boat floating beside it under a clear sky.

JUST MARIE III immediately stood out to me because she feels completely different from a traditional motor yacht.

This Sanlorenzo SX112 was originally built for Sanlorenzo himself, and you can tell every detail onboard was incredibly intentional. She feels modern and sophisticated without ever feeling cold or overly flashy.

At 34 meters, JUST MARIE III somehow manages to feel both sleek and incredibly livable at the same time. Honestly, parts of the yacht feel more like a luxury waterfront home than a yacht.

One of my favorite spaces onboard was the beach club. The foldout balconies open on both sides, creating this huge sea-level lounge area that completely transforms the yacht when anchored. It’s the kind of setup that makes you want to spend the entire day swimming, relaxing, and never leave the water.

The integrated gym in the beach club was another feature I loved because it feels functional without taking away from the relaxed atmosphere onboard.

Inside, the yacht is absolutely stunning. The interiors were designed by Piero Lissoni, and you can really feel that balance between minimalist Japanese inspiration and elegant Italian design throughout the yacht. The floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interior with natural light and create incredible ocean views from nearly every space onboard.

Modern yacht interior with white sofas, blue armchairs, decorative items, and large windows overlooking the sea and distant coastline under a clear sky.

Large outdoor lounge area on a yacht with white cushioned seating, small tables, and a marina with boats and waterfront buildings in the background.

JUST MARIE III accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 beautifully designed cabins, attended by a professional crew dedicated to creating a seamless charter experience.

This is the kind of yacht I’d recommend for guests who want:

Contemporary luxury
Strong indoor/outdoor living
Wellness-focused amenities
Modern minimalist design
A refined Mediterranean charter experience

Out of all the yachts I toured in Nafplio, JUST MARIE III was definitely one I kept thinking about long after I stepped off.

BLISS

BLISS is exactly what you hope a luxury superyacht should feel like the moment you step onboard.

Built in the Netherlands, she has that unmistakable Dutch yacht quality — sleek, solid, beautifully engineered, and incredibly refined without feeling overdone.

What impressed me most about BLISS was how balanced she feels. Some superyachts focus heavily on performance while others focus entirely on luxury. BLISS somehow delivers both exceptionally well.

She can reach speeds up to 25 knots, making her ideal for guests wanting to experience more destinations throughout the Mediterranean without spending all day underway. At the same time, her stabilization systems make the onboard experience feel smooth, quiet, and incredibly comfortable whether cruising or anchored.

Two lounge chairs and a coffee table are set on the wooden deck of a docked yacht, with open steps leading to the upper level and water visible in the background.

Modern dining room with a long set table, gray chairs, overhead mirrors, large Andy Warhol-style soup can posters, and decorative plants.

BLISS also completed a major 2025 refit with over $2.5 million invested into upgrades throughout the yacht, and honestly, she feels brand new. Everything onboard feels fresh, modern, and exceptionally well maintained.

One thing I always pay attention to at yacht shows is how well a yacht is cared for behind the scenes, and it’s very obvious the owner of BLISS is deeply committed to keeping her at an extremely high standard.

This superyacht is perfect for guests wanting:

Modern luxury
Fast cruising
Dutch build quality
Sporty design
Smooth performance
A yacht that feels fresh, updated, and incredibly well cared for

BLISS has that rare combination of performance, elegance, and comfort that’s honestly hard to pull off well.

DAIQUIRI

A modern white catamaran yacht with multiple decks floats on calm water under a clear sky, with sunlight reflecting off the sea.

DAIQUIRI was probably my favorite sailing catamaran from the show.

This 67ft Lagoon feels bright, open, and effortlessly comfortable in all the right ways. Everything onboard is designed to maximize space, views, and connection to the water, which is exactly what makes chartering through the Greek islands so special.

The second I stepped onboard, the atmosphere just felt easy and relaxed.

The main salon is filled with natural light and offers so much space to lounge, dine, or simply enjoy the views while sailing between islands. It feels sleek and modern without losing the laid-back feeling that makes catamaran charters so enjoyable.

The layout onboard works beautifully for both families and groups of friends, and the cabins all feel bright, comfortable, and connected to the sea.

A white catamaran yacht named Daiquiri is anchored near a coastline with hills and trees, featuring outdoor seating areas and sun loungers on its deck.

Combined with a great selection of water toys, DAIQUIRI feels stylish, fun, and incredibly comfortable without sacrificing luxury.

I could absolutely see DAIQUIRI being perfect for:

Families
Couples traveling together
First-time charter guests
Groups wanting relaxed luxury
Guests who love being in and around the water

She’s sleek, adventurous, and exactly the kind of yacht that makes island hopping through Greece unforgettable.

Why This Matters

One thing I always tell clients is that photos only tell part of the story.

Attending shows like MEDYS allows me to actually experience these yachts firsthand — the layouts, the crews, the atmosphere onboard, the quality of service, and the little details that truly make a charter experience exceptional.

That firsthand knowledge is what helps me match clients with the right yacht instead of simply sending a brochure.

If you’ve been thinking about a Mediterranean charter for 2026, now is honestly the perfect time to start planning. The best yachts and best summer weeks book much earlier than most people realize.

And after spending time onboard these yachts in Nafplio… I can already tell you these will be some of the standout yachts for the upcoming Mediterranean season.
