Inside SilverYachts' 85m Superyacht 'Wanderlust'

By Heather Collier

Following her delivery in October 2022, the Silverloft vessel was renamed from 'GlobalFast' to 'Wanderlust' and has now joined the charter fleet with Burgess.

Following in the footsteps of her sistership Bold, Wanderlust is the second iteration of the series; featuring naval architecture and striking exterior design penned by  Espen Øino , as well as an opulent interior designed by Vain Interiors.

It is clear that discretion was a huge priority during her construction, with privacy glazing implemented throughout; encircling the main deck and loft on the upper deck with an interactive ceiling. The winter garden also includes floor-to-ceiling glass that when opened reveals a large shaded terrace.

In terms of interior, her high-ceiling sky lounge forward includes a large screen where guests can watch and enjoy a spot of wildlife by taking in the mesmerising dolphin cam in the bow. With an 11-metre beam, Wanderlust also boasts a vast amount of space, perfect for plenty of sumptuous seating for entertainment and relaxation.

Built to create the vacation of a lifetime, she can host up to 12 overnight guests across eight contemporary staterooms. Her owner’s suite is located forward of the winter garden and includes an inviting double bed, as well as an ensuite bathroom and a private office.

Wanderlust has a 400 square-metre aft deck, with plenty of room for tenders up to 15-metres. Her sides also fold down to open up the views completely and create even more versatile space for entertainment, games or relaxation.

Guests can also indulge in a beautiful glass-fronted Jacuzzi and alfresco dining on her sundeck, combined with more open-air dining experiences with a bar and barbeque, and a huge sun lounge aft.

The main deck of the Wanderlust yacht includes an outdoor cinema, all fitted with sound, media and light systems for disco nights; the total entertainment package.

Zero speed stabilisers provide maximum comfort for those on board, while her efficient propulsion system allows for an impressive performance. She is equipped with twin MTU engines that provide her with a top speed of 23 knots, and her nautical range of 5,800 miles allows her to cruise for longer before refuelling.

Wanderlust is currently available for charter in 2023 with  Burgess  and will be cruising the West Mediterranean in the summer and Indian Ocean in the winter.

About WANDERLUST

85m superyacht

View all yachts for charter

WANDERLUST is a superb platform for scuba diving and snorkelling, tailor-made for avid lovers of the underwater world, so expect to find her cruising world-class dive locations like the Indian Ocean and South Pacific. Guests are guaranteed to enjoy bountiful, healthy reefs, abundant marine life and bucket-list pelagics.

In performance terms, her hydrodynamic efficiency and state-of-the-art propulsion system means she cruises easily at 17 knots and tops out at 23 knots. This expands your cruising range and dive-site options considerably while keeping fuel bills and emission down. Her zero speed stabilisers mean everyone on board enjoys a steady horizon.

One of the most remarkable features of this yacht and the widest part of it: The Loft. This is a winter garden space with floor-to-ceiling privacy glass that slides away to create a remarkable open-air shaded terrace.

It’s aft of the high-ceiling sky lounge with huge screen on which guests can enjoy sports, movie nights and highlights of the day's filmed adventures. The ceiling itself is a huge screen, like those in The Loft and the heli-hangar, that can display any image or video you want - you can even bring the Northern Lights inside should you wish.

Another signature is the 400sqm (4,300sqft) aft deck - the space is over 30m (100ft) long. This is where two of the yacht’s three tenders, a 7m (23ft) beachlander and an 8.3m (27.2ft) Explorer, are stowed. The third is a Windy SR52 chase tender capable of 45 knots.

The sides of the aft deck fold down to open up the views completely and create even more versatile space for entertainment, relaxation and games like basketball, table tennis or a golf driving range with fish-food balls.

Built to deliver the holiday of a lifetime for up to 12 guests in eight suites, she has everything an amazing charter yacht needs. The sun deck has a glass-fronted jacuzzi and an intimate, sheltered open-air dining space aft.

The upper deck offers more outdoor dining with a bar and BBQ for that chef’s table experience and a huge sun lounge aft. On the main deck there’s an outdoor cinema in the hangar, one of three on board, which is also fitted with sound, media and light systems for disco nights.

Her crew is dedicated to making every day on board amazing, with a particular flair for beach set-ups and watersports days. Zero speed stabilisers for comfort and a toy locker packed with Sea-Doos, SeaBobs, sailing dinghies, fliteboards, transparent kayaks, paddleboards and a host of tow toys, and you have an unbeatable package.

On board Golden Yachts' 85m superyacht O'Ptasia

O’Ptasia, the 85 metre former flagship from Golden Yachts, wows charterers with her quiet comfort and beautiful beach club

“She was booked for charter before even leaving the shed, just based off the renderings,” said Paris Dragnis of the 85-metre Golden Yachts O’Ptasia .

Standing on the quay at the yacht’s home marina in Athens, the chairman and founder of Golden Yachts gazed admiringly up at his new yacht. At 2,350GT, she was the largest boat to emerge from the Greek yard at the time (having now been eclipsed by the 95m O'Pari .) And she set a new standard among her Golden Yachts siblings for amenities and technical innovations to maximise guest comfort on board.

Golden Yachts’ business model is distinct from most yards'. Rather than building a yacht with a client in mind, or even on speculation hoping to lure the right owner, new yachts go directly into the charter market, managed by Golden Yachts’ sister company, the brokerage house Atalanta Golden Yachts. These spend at least a few years chartering before being put up for sale, with Dragnis also taking this time to use the boat himself – as a means to both enjoy his creation and gain insights on improvements for the following iterations.

In this sense, Dragnis very much wears the hat of owner during the build process, dreaming up the brief and working hand-in-hand with Italian designer Giorgio Vafiadis of Studio Vafiadis . Their first Golden Yachts project was 42-metre O’Pari , launched in 1997 by Intermarine but refitted by the nascent Greek yard in 2006. Studio Vafiadis masterminded the interior design of the refit.

“Yachting was my hobby and then it became my business,” said Dragnis. “And I still love it.” Before venturing into yacht building, his business was cargo ships and tankers. And in a former life, in his early 20s, Dragnis worked on boats himself. His business card still brandishes the title “Captain” and the crew refer to him as such when he’s on board. These days, though, he is quite content to leave the helm to O’Ptasia’s actual skipper, Nikos Demertzis, who said that the full-displacement yacht handles exceptionally well in rough seas.

From seafarer to shipping magnate to yacht owner, this varied maritime history has helped inform the construction process of Golden Yachts. The shipping background in particular has surely helped the engineering advancements found on O’Ptasia . Guest comfort was paramount to the brief, and as such additional sound dampening was required.

“My wish is to build a boat that when it’s running you hear nothing at all,” Dragnis said. The precise goal was to improve noise insulation by 35 per cent compared with O’Ptasia’s predecessor, O’Pari 3 . “I like the quietness of the upper saloon,” said Vafiadis, to this point.

Vafiadis, along with his son Stefano, styled O’Ptasia’s interior and exterior as well as configuring the layout. He has penned 11 out of Golden Yachts’ 13-strong fleet, creating a familial inheritance of flowing looks, soft lines and a style that endures. Balance, fluidity and light are all Vafiadis keywords.

“Looking at the profile, you can recognise a certain fluidity, like water moving in slow motion and then shaping well-balanced volumes,” he said. “It’s a continuation of a style in the Golden Yachts family. When you make a successful design for a brand, it’s normal to maintain such design concepts. We designed all of the Golden Yachts new builds having that same idea in mind.” In order to create an elegant exterior on a larger scale with O’Ptasia , Vafiadis played with the contrast between volumes and recesses, “by pulling the volumes out in opposition to the recesses absorbed by the dark”.

The tastes of Dragnis and Vafiadis are balanced inside. “I like light colours and Giorgio likes dark woods, so it’s always a matter of finding a compromise,” Dragnis said. Fittingly, the interior has a blend of dark woods paired with a light colour palette that is intended to evoke a sense of calm. There is a range of woods, from a porous lati to glossy ebony. “The inspiration for the interior was quiet, calm and relaxing,” said Vafiadis. “We kept the surfaces clean, and there isn’t a lot of clutter or accessories.”

The interior decor is modern, with clean, crisp lines and eye-catching details. Ebony cabinetry is inlaid with stainless-steel details. A rippled line in the cabinets breaks up the expanse of joinery in the saloon, drawing the eyes up and out to views beyond the picture-box windows. The main saloon is a grand space, one large open-plan room with two separate seating areas containing white leather sofas, black coffee tables and glass lamps. A dining area is set at the forward end of the saloon, and the ebony dining table is centred with backlit, honey-toned onyx.

Air-conditioning units, supplied by Dometic, are hidden in columns, and they are whisper-quiet, with air dispersed through the shelved ceilings. This not only hides the potential eyesore of vents but also creates dramatic height, especially in the main saloon – and the next yacht in build is slated to have ceilings that are 20 centimetres higher still. The upper deck saloon is a more casual place for lounging or watching films, with low-slung grey sofas, a bar and games table.

The guest cabins feature eucalyptus walls and grey joinery. The space is allocated well in the suites, and most cabins have walk-in wardrobes. Bathrooms have a Greek flavour: some are decorated in Pentelikon marble, which was used in the construction of the Parthenon in Athens (it is ideal for en suites as it doesn’t absorb water); other bathrooms feature a green marble found on the Aegean island of Tinos.

The plentiful cabins – she can accommodate up to 22 people – are numbered rather than named, which gives a bit of an impersonal impression. But this could be easily remedied by a new owner. Otherwise, Vafiadis manages to keep a yacht that’s built for holidaying from feeling like a cruise ship. “The key is to use warm colours and create interesting and dynamic spaces with a logical flow. It’s very important for guests to easily move around the yacht,” he said. “Merging interior and exterior spaces wherever possible also elevates the feeling of the yacht.” There are three entry points for guests, whether arriving by tender or helicopter on the touch-and-go helipad, and the general arrangement is well planned for ease of guest and crew flow.

The art on board O’Ptasia is a feast for the eyes. Pop art, mosaics and textured pieces that tempt you to touch them adorn the hallways and guest cabins, adding heaps of personality. The pièce de résistance is the light installation in the lift, a glowing purple triangle that beckons you into the dimly lit space and makes riding even one floor an experience.

There is a second lift on board that’s hidden from view, dedicated for crew use. Similarly, the magnificent staircase – a set of glowing onyx steps in a jet-black stairwell – is backed by a crew staircase on the opposite side. While the two staircases allow crew to move about with ease and without being seen by guests, this is intended for charter clients rather than for Dragnis himself. “The crew is like family – I like to see them move up in the ranks; it’s the shipping mentality in me,” he said.

Charter guests’ preferences inform many of the design decisions. For example, a twin cabin being placed next to the master suite helps those guests who want to have their children or a chosen assistant close at hand. “I learned from the chartering side of the business that people want a big swim platform and beach clubs with all the amenities,” said Dragnis. Here, O’Ptasia does not disappoint. The massive beach club boasts a curved bar, hammam, massage room, sauna and plenty of space for soaking up the sun before sliding into the water. For those who prefer freshwater, there is a pool set aft on the bridge deck. A dedicated gym also enjoys pride of place – and outstanding views – on this deck. Guests could work up a sweat before slipping into the pool moments later.

When it comes to building boats, Greeks are better known for their shipbuilding than their yacht-building. Greece doesn’t have a proven reputation for quality in this realm, something of which Dragnis is aware, and he is seeking to change that. Most Golden Yachts suppliers hail from afar, he said. The interiors are built in Italy, the lift is by a German company, electronics are from America. But he likes to employ Greek workers in the build, up to 400 when running at full capacity. “I want to support my own country and people,” said Dragnis. The yard runs two shifts so they can build yachts quickly. There is also a refit and repair division. This combination of global yachtbuilding expertise and quick-moving Greek labour allows the yard to keep costs down. “Our price is competitive, but we are not low-budget,” he said.

“If you’re not in a rush, you can sell it well to the right people,” said Dragnis. “We had three serious buyers for O’Ptasia before she was launched, but we already had charter bookings lined up.” The first charter clients who were able to enjoy O’Ptasia just after she was delivered in June 2018 reported back their delight, commenting on the beach club and styling. But the best feedback, Dragnis said, concerned comfort levels. “Some customers said that when they were on board, it was so quiet they didn’t even realise she was moving at all.”

Our favourite superyachts available to charter with Fraser Greece

With Greece being home to the world’s third highest concentration of owners with yachts above 40 metres, it’s no wonder why our Alto Partner, Fraser Yachts , are seeing such success in the region. According to the award winning charter brokerage team, Greece was the number one destination for charter clients in 2023.

Fraser first decided to open its first dedicated full-service office for clients in Athens in 2022. With its acquisition last year of the renowned Atalanta Golden Yachts (AGY), the company moved to larger premises this year with all teams now working under the brand Fraser Greece.

In this article we offer a look at some of the most exciting superyachts currently available to charter in Greece. We also offer our expertise on the best jet-to-yacht routes and cruising destinations. Don’t forget that as a Victor member you’ll earn double Alto points every time you book a yacht with Fraser through us – redeemable against the cost of a future Victor flight.

Fraser’s recommended destination:

Poliegos & Kimolos Islands – Fly to Athens and then charter a Victor helicopter to land on Kimolos island from Athens

85m superyacht

Kimolos is located in the southwest of the Cyclades islands, near the larger island of Milos. Both islands are part of the Aegean volcanic arc and are mainly composed of acidic volcanic rocks. This unique geological composition results in striking rock formations on Kimolos and its neighbouring island, Poliegos, creating breathtaking vistas and crystal-clear waters. 

These islands offer secluded retreats away from the bustling crowds. Furthermore, the volcanic activity in the region leads to the emergence of thermal springs in certain areas across the islands. Although Poliegos is uninhabited, it features a stunning landscape and is renowned for its pristine waters.

Fraser’s recommended destination: Delos and Mykonos – Fly directly into Mykonos airport (notoriously slot restricted during the summer) or fly to Athens and charter a helicopter to Mykonos

85m superyacht

Begin your journey at Delos, the ancient heart of the Cyclades, and explore the ruins of the Temple of Apollo and the Terrace of the Lions. Mykonos showcases its unique, vibrant, and lively character, along with its party-centric atmosphere. The island adheres to the traditional Cycladic architectural style, featuring small, whitewashed cubic buildings adorned with charming colorful details.
