LUCKY CLOVER

Set up for twelve-guest group charters out of Athens, with the Cyclades on the menu and Santorini on request. LUCKY CLOVER is a Lagoon 52 sailing catamaran from 2016, based at Marina Nea Peramos and working the Cyclades programme for the full season.

The layout is the six-cabin, twelve-guest configuration in a 52-foot footprint. Two forward queens sit in their own VIP arrangement, three doubles spread across the aft and mid-starboard sections, and a sixth cabin runs as twin bunks for children or extra crew of the booking. Every cabin is en-suite, every cabin is air-conditioned, and the crew has separate quarters forward. The layout suits family-plus-friends or two-family bookings that want privacy for each room.

A captain, chef, and deckhand-steward run the boat. A 300-litre-per-hour water maker, dual Onan generators at 19.5 and 11 kVA, full air conditioning, and onboard WiFi keep the systems running through a week with twelve aboard. The hydraulic gangway and the dishwasher take some of the strain off the crew during the long Greek summer charter days.

The water sports kit covers the full Greek-summer brief: three paddleboards, a two-person kayak, a wakeboard, water skis, snorkel gear, fishing gear, and a stash of beach games for the children in the group. A 3.9-metre Highfield aluminium tender with a Yamaha 60HP handles shore runs and toy duty.
