2002 #1 HULL CUSTOM

The motorsailer Thalassa is a distinguished 36-meter luxury charter vessel, designed in the traditional Eastern Mediterranean style and celebrated for her graceful lines, masterful craftsmanship, and enduring maritime character. Originally launched as Bahriyeli A in Bozburun near Marmaris, Turkey—a region world-renowned for high-quality wooden yacht construction—she served as the model for three sister ships, one of which continues to operate successfully out of Kos today.

Thalassa began her charter career in 2006, offering memorable cycling and sailing journeys through the Dodecanese Islands and along the full length of the Turkish coastline. After more than a decade of strong charter performance, she was transferred to Greece in 2019 and officially registered under the Greek flag of Piraeus as Thalassa.

Between 2020 and 2025, the vessel underwent an extensive, multi-year reconstruction that elevated her to an exceptional standard. This investment period included a complete renewal of her rigging, the installation of new masts, new booms, new winches and entirely new running lines, as well as the addition of five brand-new sails. Her electrical systems were significantly upgraded with new batteries, and many structural and interior elements were modernized to enhance comfort, reliability, and safety. These improvements allow Thalassa to shine in full splendor while meeting the expectations of today’s charter market.

Currently, Thalassa operates with remarkable success, consistently securing around twenty weeks of charter each year. For the 2026 season, she already holds a guaranteed contract for twenty-two weeks of charter, representing an impressive income of approximately €800,000.  An agreement that can be transferred directly to the new owner. This makes her not only a stunning vessel but also an exceptional investment opportunity.

Built from premium mahogany and iroko wood, Thalassa embodies the strength and beauty of traditional shipbuilding. Her spacious layout includes ten comfortable guest cabins and ample deck areas that offer guests an authentic and unforgettable experience at sea. With her unique character, proven performance, and extensive recent upgrades, Thalassa stands out as one of the most attractive classic motorsailers available on the Mediterranean charter market.
