STEPHANIE

Silent overnight running on solar power and a lithium battery bank, with full air conditioning and no generator noise after the last sundowner. STEPHANIE is a Fountaine Pajot Alegria 67 sailing catamaran, delivered new in 2024 and based year-round at Marina Nea Peramos on the Saronic coast, set up for Cyclades programmes and Saronic Gulf cruising under Greek flag.

She measures 20 metres on a shallow 1.70-metre draft, with twin diesel engines pushing her to a 9.5-knot cruise and 11 knots flat out. Four cabins sleep eight guests: a queen master, plus three further doubles, all en-suite. A crew of four runs the boat under Captain Giannis Gargalos, who holds GMDSS, motorboat, and skipper licences and works alongside Chef Artemis Liaskou, Stewardess Dimitra Karousou, and Deckhand Dimitris Siotas.

The boat carries an onboard water-maker that produces fresh water from seawater, which means the itinerary is not tied to port stops for tank refills. From Nea Peramos the Cyclades sit within a comfortable week's cruising, with the Saronic Gulf islands closer at hand for shorter passages.

The toy programme includes two Seabobs, paddleboards, a kayak, a wakeboard, water skis for adults and children, a kneeboard, an inflatable tube, and snorkel kit. A Yamaha 70-horsepower tender tows the watersports. The flybridge carries a small gym kit (elliptical, TRX, weights, yoga mats), and the salon and aft deck connect for indoor-outdoor dining for the full guest count. Starlink wifi keeps the boat connected.
