INSIGHTS from EXPERTS you MUST know before you charter a Yacht/Catamaran in Santorini and Mykonos.

OBSESION 120

The primary reason to charter Obsesion 120 is quite simple – 120 ft at this price is quite attractive. Definitely a choice if the group prefers more room with more social areas to spread out and enjoy a feeling of a higher class yacht.

The interiors match in the offer of space. The downside is the refit done in 2012. If you can live with that, the good news is that high season is 49,000 EUR/week – there is no increase from low season and it is impossible to find a yacht of these parameters at this price.

The photos don’t do the boat justice.

The upside is the crew – the super experienced captain George has profound knowledge of the Greek islands and touch for customer service.

Obsesion 120 is a great boat for a mature group that prefers more space and comfort at the expense of water activities and action, a client that appreciates her specifications of a yacht from a higher price range.
