M/S Good Life

Good Life is a 39 m custom-built sailing yacht for up to 10 guests in five cabins, available for yacht charter from Rhodes, Greece, with a jacuzzi on deck and a professional crew of six. Built in 2021 with a wood and epoxy hull, she pairs wide, generous deck spaces with the comfort of a fine hotel: a flybridge, a dining area on deck, sun mattresses for every guest and air-conditioned cabins, each with its own en-suite shower and WC.
The water toys are a feature in themselves, from jet ski and Seabobs to wakeboard and water skis. The captain, chef and crew shape each day around your wishes, from a long lunch at anchor to a swim stop in a quiet bay. Good Life suits groups of friends in their late twenties to forties who want an active, sociable week on the water.

Based in Rhodes, Good Life is well placed for the Dodecanese, where Symi, Tilos, Nisyros and Chalki lie within short crossings of the island. She cruises at 10 knots, reaches a maximum of 12 knots and has a range of up to 1,000 nautical miles at 8 knots from her 6,500 litre fuel tanks. On board, the saloon and every cabin have a TV, DVD player and music system, an internet connection keeps everyone in touch, and underwater lights add atmosphere once the sun goes down. It is a yacht for people who like to spend the day outdoors and the evening around a shared table.

Life Aboard M/S Good Life

Good Life is built for time outdoors. The aft deck has a generous lounging area with cushions and a large dining table, and the flybridge gives a second place to sit above the water. The jacuzzi on deck is where many evenings end, and there are sun mattresses for every guest and a deck shower to rinse off after a swim.

Indoors, the saloon has a second dining area, so dinner can move inside if the group prefers a quieter table. Meals come from a fully equipped separate galley with an ice maker. Card games and backgammon are on board for slow afternoons, an iPod connection lets the group play its own music, and a watermaker, satellite connection and VHF radio take care of the practical side of life at anchor. The whole yacht, from saloon to cabins, is air-conditioned.

Cabins and Accommodation

Five cabins sleep up to ten guests: a master cabin, two VIP cabins and two double cabins. The mix works well for couples and friends travelling together, because every cabin has its own en-suite shower and WC, a TV and DVD player, and air conditioning.

• Master cabin: one, with en-suite shower and WC.
• VIP cabins: two, each with an en-suite shower and WC.
• Double cabins: two, each with an en-suite shower and WC.

Crew and Service

A professional crew of six looks after the yacht: captain, chef, sailor, two stewards or stewardesses and a housekeeper. The meals, the housekeeping and the daily activities are their responsibility, and they have separate quarters and bathrooms, apart from the guests.

The chef works in the galley on menus inspired by Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, served on deck or in the saloon. The captain plans each day around the weather and the group’s interests, whether that is a quiet cove for swimming, a harbour taverna or an afternoon with the water toys.

Water Toys and Leisure

The toy list is long and aimed at an active group. A tender with a 100 hp outboard engine handles shore runs and towed rides. On the water, guests can use a jet ski, two Seabobs, stand-up paddle boards, a canoe and kayaks, plus water skis, a wakeboard, kneeboards, a ringo and a banana. Snorkelling and fishing equipment are on board for quieter moments. Between sessions in the water, the music system, the flybridge and the jacuzzi keep the pace relaxed.

Who Is Good Life Ideal For?

Young Groups on a Blue Voyage

With a jet ski, Seabobs, a wakeboard and a deck jacuzzi, Good Life suits friends in their late twenties, thirties and forties who want a week that is active by day and sociable at night. Five cabins give every couple or friend their own space, while the flybridge and the dining areas give the group places to gather.

Friends’ Getaways and Celebrations

Birthdays, reunions and pre-wedding weeks work well when the group has a whole yacht to itself. Dining on deck, an evening in the jacuzzi and a crew who look after the details make shared moments easy to enjoy.

Corporate Retreats and Small Teams

Ten guests, five en-suite cabins and an internet connection make Good Life a workable base for a small team or incentive trip. Swim stops, water sports and shared meals give colleagues time together away from the office.

Yacht Charter from Rhodes: Cruising Areas and Suggested Routes

Good Life is based in Rhodes, Greece, and a sample week could follow a loop through the southern Dodecanese. From Rhodes the yacht can call at Symi, where pastel mansions climb the hillside above the harbour, then at quiet Tilos and the volcanic crater on Nisyros. Chalki and uninhabited Alimia, with its sheltered turquoise bays, round off the week before the return to Rhodes. Routes are flexible and can be tailored to your wishes – our charter team will help you plan the itinerary. The Rhodes charter region page shows more of the cruising area and the yachts based there.
