Yacht Description
Serious sailing platform. BARACUDA VALLETTA is a 164ft/50m Perini Navi sailing yacht built in 2009 and refit in 2024, set up to sleep 10 guests in five suites. If you want the real sailing-yacht feel without giving up modern comfort, she’s on-message.
Water access, upgraded. The standout is the transom door that opens into a big swim platform for sunbathing and easy swim sessions. Better: the hydraulically operated platform can be lowered below the waterline for less clambering, more swimming.
Minimalist, bright interiors. John Pawson’s contemporary interior keeps things clean and light, helped by expansive windows and an open-plan main deck layout. Calm. Not cluttered.
Toys for all ages. You have a 6.1m/20ft tender plus a full spread for on-the-water days: Jet-Skis, Seabob, wakeboard, water-skis (including adult), banana/towables, SUPs, snorkelling gear, and light fishing gear.

BARACUDA VALLETTA pairs adrenaline sailing with a strikingly clean Scandinavian-meets-Japanese interior — all white minimalism and sharp lines. Captain Evangelos and his long-serving crew (including a deckhand who moonlights on Irish music) make good on their promise to create memories: candlelit dinners with stargazing on the flybridge, live music nights, and dolphins riding the bow wake more often than not.

BARACUDA VALLETTA isn't restrained by the weather the way motor yachts are — she leaves port comfortably at 25 knots, more under sail, making it easy to reach the Cyclades' best spots. She cuts through waves like a knife, and her interior is a striking study in minimalist futurism, layered with subtle scent and sound. She turns heads the moment she arrives in port.
