MENANGIO X | 2025

Best for: groups of friends or couples seeking a high-end day or short-cruise experience out of Athens, with foodie groups a close second.

MENANGIO X is a brand-new 2025 Riva motor yacht stretching just over 28 metres, and the standout here is the galley: chef Elissavet Mytiliniou brings 17 years in luxury hospitality, trained at Le Monde Culinary School in Athens and a member of the Greek Academy of Executive Chefs, delivering refined Mediterranean cooking with serious depth across Greek, Cretan, Japanese, French, and Italian cuisines. That is not standard charter fare.

Up to eight guests are accommodated across a master suite on the main deck and four further staterooms below, all en suite, served by a crew of five including Captain Georgios Papandreou, a Hellenic Naval Academy graduate with a decade of professional experience in the Greek Islands and Mediterranean. The water toys are genuinely well-stocked: two Seabob F5S units, a Seabob F90, a Fliteboard, two SUPs, snorkelling and fishing gear, and a Williams Sportjet tender round out a platform built for active days on the water as much as for long, relaxed lunches at anchor.
