MALIA Yacht Charter

Start with the headline hack: MALIA gives you two glass pools before you’ve even looked at the cabins – a glass‑edged infinity pool on the main deck and a glass‑bottomed jacuzzi on the sun deck. If your idea of “on the water” involves literally hovering over it in a hot tub, this is the correct 77.7m Golden Yachts build.

Not a villa, an ecosystem. A full beach‑club spa at sea level (sauna, hammam, massage room and lounge), an outdoor gym, helipad, elevator connecting the decks and a convertible cinema mean the boat runs like a small resort for up to 12 guests in 8 suites, including an oversized full‑beam owner’s stateroom with its own office and dressing area. Twenty‑two crew exist solely so you don’t have to think about logistics, only what to do next.

Then there’s the “toys got out of hand” section: multiple jet tenders, stand‑up Jet‑Skis, Fliteboards, Seabobs, wakeboards, kayaks, pedal boards, climbing walls, towables and a shark‑style Seabreacher submersible. Translation: if anyone on board manages to be bored, that’s a user error, not a yacht issue.

Why charter MALIA instead of the next white giant in your search results: she’s brand‑new (2023) with a 2024 refit, designed by Studio Vafiadis and Massari Design for serious indoor/outdoor living, has a 6,500nm range for long hauls, and is wired with stabilizers, Wi‑Fi, satcoms and full climate control. In practice, that means you sleep like you’re in a high‑end hotel, play like you’re in a waterpark, and move like you’re on a small, very well‑run ship.
