Pileas is a 2020 Sun Odyssey 490 based at D-Marin Marina Gouvia in Kerkyra, offering the perfect platform for exploring the Ionian islands of Greece. This 14-metre sailing yacht accommodates up to 12 guests across six cabins, making it ideal for extended family gatherings or groups of friends seeking a week of shared adventure on the water. The three onboard bathrooms ensure comfort for larger parties, while the modern design and well-appointed layout create a relaxed, sociable atmosphere that encourages both communal moments and private retreats.

A week aboard Pileas typically unfolds with leisurely mornings spent anchoring in crystalline coves, where the integrated snorkeling equipment invites you to explore underwater life between passages. The 80-horsepower engine and bow thruster provide confident handling in variable conditions, while the GPS chartplotter and autopilot allow you to navigate the archipelago with ease—leaving more time to simply be present. The bimini and sprayhood offer essential shade and weather protection, and the cockpit speakers set the mood as you drift between islands. Solar panels keep the refrigerator stocked with local produce and chilled wine, extending those long afternoons at anchor into sunset hours.

The Ionian cruising ground rewards exploration: emerald hillsides rise from quiet anchorages, traditional villages perch above sheltered bays, and family-run tavernas serve freshly caught fish metres from the water's edge. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a group with mixed experience, the yacht's modern systems and manageable size strike a balance between capability and comfort. Three nights might find you anchored off Paxos, two more exploring the quieter reaches around Antipaxos, with time reserved for the charming waterfront of Lakka or a final evening in a secluded bay where the only sound is water lapping against the hull and the clink of glasses beneath a star-filled sky.
