MYRA

MYRA is a 29-metre steel-hulled schooner, built by Ege Yat in Turkey in 2003 and refitted in 2022. She carries five sails on a traditional schooner rig, and the black-painted hull with gloss-varnished bulwarks and teak decks gives her the look of a yacht from another era. The steel construction provides a weight and solidity you can feel at anchor and under sail.

She sleeps twelve guests in six en-suite cabins: four doubles forward of the salon (two to port, two to starboard) and two twins aft. For a 29-metre sailing yacht, that's generous accommodation, and the 2022 refit brought the interiors up to date with fine wood panelling and teak-holly inlay floors throughout.

The raised deck house salon is the social centre, flooded with natural light through large ports and set up with formal dining for twelve on the port side and a lounge to starboard. On deck, the aft cockpit has alfresco dining and sun pads under a bimini, with more sun pads on the foredeck.

Toys include a wakeboard, two water skis, two SUPs, a kayak, snorkel gear, and fishing tackle, all supported by a 5.5-metre Zodiac tender. She cruises at 8 knots from her summer base in Athens, with the Cyclades, the Saronic Gulf, and the Peloponnese coast all within reach. A crew of six runs the boat.
