The Story of Petsas I
"Petsas I" was originally built in 1938 by the legendary Camper & Nicholsons yard and named "Donna Bella". She served in the Second World War as a spy ship, loaded with cameras and other secret equipment.
This remarkable yacht was extensively rebuilt in 1986 at Piraeus Psaros Shipyard, then refurbished and refitted with new engines in 2002 at Alpha Marine. Outfitted specifically for charter, this classic yacht boasts an elegant and luxurious interior with colourful fabrics that beautifully complement the walnut wood featuring throughout.
"Petsas I" accommodates up to 10 guests in 5 air-conditioned cabins: one double master and four twins, each with its own ensuite bathroom finished in corian and teak. Guests can enjoy sun and sea throughout the day—actively or relaxed—using "Petsas I's" sports equipment, sunbathing on the private sun deck, enjoying breakfast, lunch, or romantic candlelight dinners on the shaded aft deck, or taking an evening swim in a secluded bay under the starlit sky.
