SAMELI

SAMELI is a Balance 750 sailing catamaran, built by Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing in Cape Town for Balance Catamarans as Hull No. 1 of the series. Designed for offshore performance and long-range cruising, she was launched in 2016 and refitted in 2023. She is now based year-round in Athens, operating the Cyclades in summer and the Saronic Islands in winter.

Designed on a 10.5-metre beam, she offers exceptional volume, with the saloon and cockpit flowing together into one continuous living space that enhances both comfort and social living. The interior is open-plan, featuring a generous dining area, contemporary finishes, and teak detailing in the heads. SAMELI accommodates up to 10 guests in five en-suite double cabins, supported by a professional crew of four, including a captain and chef.

Under sail, she is efficient and capable of reaching speeds of up to 15 knots in strong conditions. Under power, twin diesel engines deliver a comfortable 10-knot cruising speed, ensuring reliable passage-making when winds drop across the Meltemi corridor.

A 5.20-metre RIB tender with an 80 HP Yamaha outboard handles guest transfers and watersport towing. The onboard selection includes a Seabob, stand-up paddleboard, kayak, wakeboard, adult water skis, kneeboard, towable tube, and fishing equipment, all launched directly from the swim platform.

Outdoor living centers around the aft deck, where a BBQ setup supports long lunches at anchor in locations such as Polyaigos or Despotiko. A sun awning shades the foredeck, providing a relaxed retreat during calm, windless afternoons at sea.
