Motor Yacht Taka is one of the most interesting yachts I saw at the Poros yacht show. Totally unique: Built in 1976, she has a classic 70s style—wood, tiles, retro color scheme, funky art, and a crew of 5 that’s been together forever. Captain Zafiris Mammis has been onboard 25 years, and it shows. Big plus: fully set up for mobility needs. Chairlift, proper tender, and real hands-on experience helping disabled guests. That makes a huge difference. Great for an older couple or anyone into vintage style and serious service.
TAKA Yacht Description
-
Stabilizers at anchor:
Helps guests sleep soundly by reducing motion, ensuring a restful night on board. -
Variety of inflatable towable tubes and bananas:
Fun for all ages, perfect for thrilling water activities and group entertainment. -
Full water sports gear including kayaks and paddleboards:
Great for exploring and enjoying calm waters together, ideal for family and friends.
Core headline: TAKA is a 30m classic Stephens motor yacht (1976, refit 2022) that runs with a **full 5‑person professional crew** for just **4 guest cabins**. Translation: serious, old‑school yacht, low guest count, high service ratio.
Why you stop scrolling here: Up to 9 guests sleep in 1 master, 2 twin cabins with Pullmans and 1 single, all with ensuite bathrooms. So families with kids, mixed‑age groups and friends who don’t all fit into couples can actually be accommodated without the usual “who gets the sofa” argument.
Hardware vs. humans: You get stabilisers at anchor, full air‑conditioning, Wi‑Fi and a proper multimedia setup, so it works as a floating office, family base or “pretend we’re off‑grid while still on email” platform. On deck, a 4.7m RIB plus a second dinghy handle the logistics while the toy locker covers the fun: paddleboard, 2‑person kayak, multiple towables (tube, banana, JOBE tribal), adult and kids’ water skis, plus fishing and snorkelling gear.
The quiet USP: the crew. Long‑standing captain (around a decade on TAKA), engineer aboard since 2007 and deckhand since 2004 means this isn’t a rotating cast learning the boat on your time. Add a chef with serious restaurant background and a steward trained in butler service and wine, and you get a **boutique‑hotel level team** focused on a very small guest manifest.
Who TAKA is really for: Charterers who want a **solid, proven classic hull with a recent refit**, lots of watersports, and a crew that’s effectively run the same boat together for years. Not the shiniest new toy on the site – but one of the safer bets if you care more about experience and service than about being able to say “brand‑new build” on Instagram.
Accommodation
m/y TAKA comfortably accommodates up to nine (9) guests in four well-appointed cabins. The main deck features a spacious Master Cabin and a Single Cabin, both with ensuite facilities, along with a day head that includes a shower and can serve as a secondary bathroom for the Master. The lower deck offers two Twin Cabins, each with a Pullman berth and private ensuite. Accessibility is a key highlight, with an extra-large gangway and a chair lift to the sundeck, making the yacht particularly well-suited for guests with reduced mobility. For added convenience, there is also a day head on the sundeck (no shower).What is the cabin arrangement of TAKA?

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like TAKA, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price (€8,875 - €14,200), making the charter cost €44,375 to €49,700. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
