Transcript — ARKTOS: A Tour of a Custom-Built Greek Sailing Yacht
It was built in 2004 here in Greece, custom-made, about 118 feet sailing yacht with two engines. Welcome in.
Here we are on the backside. You can see a big table and two canapes. When the weather is good, we serve here lunch or dinner.
You can see the saloon, which is pretty comfortable, that you can afford a lot of people. We have a mini bar here. Very spacious. So here is a mini bar, and on the walls, you can see some sketches from the boat.
On this boat, you have 24/7 service. We serve cocktails, we serve different kinds of drinks.
Along with a television, acoustic system, you can see here some amusement: CDs, DVDs, books, table games.
Also, on the front side of the boat, you can have this bar from wood.
Come with me.
So here we are. Here we have a kitchen, captain's deck, the second part of the saloon with a big table.
This boat affords 12 people for weekly cruises. We have five cabins, five cabins for 11 guests, and one more guest that can be a kid. And daily cruises are for 49 people.
The boat was on the exposition of traditional Greek yachts, and you can find a certificate out there in 2006 in Poros.
This boat belongs to a Greek family who is in the yachting business, in shipping, over 70 years, and it was built for their own needs, but now on they charter it. Everything you see is special. You cannot find a second boat like that. Leather wood, books about Greece, which is a private collection.
Cabins are downstairs.
So the name of the boat, ARKTOS, from Greek, means an animal bear, and also there is a galaxy. So there are five stars and five rooms. Every room has a name according to the star.
In every cabin, you can find television, mini bar, connection to the crew and to the captain.
We have seven people crew on this yacht. We speak together six languages: English, Greek, Italian, French, Arabic, and Russian. We hope to cover any requests, so anytime whatever guest wants, we are here to provide most comfort.
Here is our bathroom.
All the project was made by a Greek designer for maximum comfort and nice basics.
Here we are. This is the cabin with two single beds. You can see television out here, wardrobe, bathroom. We care a lot about children, kids, so we have special beds for kids that are hidden for protection. And we try to be eco-friendly; some details are from the bamboo.
Here you can see the laundry room. We provide laundry on board, or if our fabrics need special care, we give it offshore.
This is a three single beds cabin. Kids love it, absolutely. And again, television, mini bar. This cabin is pretty high, very spacious.
This is a schooner yacht. It's a kind of sailing yacht, one of the best constructions for sailing. This boat is based in Athens, Greece, and sails mostly Mediterranean, Greece, Turkey. And cruising speed is 11 knots, and on sails only, it can be around seven knots.
Here we are. It's two cabins, absolutely the same, mirrored VIP cabins.
Also, in case of any allergies, we have two kinds of pillows.
I think this is the most important information. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us anytime. Thank you, thank you very much, and hope to see you on board.
