Aresteas Sailing Yacht for Charter

Aresteas is a 167-foot Yildizlar motor-sailor, designed by Fuat Turan and refitted in 2026, with six cabins for twelve guests, 17,000 square feet of sail and a spa deck with a glass-bottom jacuzzi.

Yildizlar built Aresteas in 2017 on a laminated epoxy wood monohull to a design by Fuat Turan, and the yacht was refitted in 2026. The rig carries about 17,000 square feet of sail, enough to drive a 488 GT vessel well in a good breeze. Twin MTU engines of 1,205 horsepower each push her to 15 knots at full power and to a steady 12 knots at cruising pace. The beam of nearly 34 feet and the 15-foot draft give the yacht a settled, comfortable feel.

Six cabins have en suite bathrooms. The master suite takes the full beam forward on the main deck, with a walk-in closet, his-and-hers bathroom, a panoramic forward window and three skylights above the bed. Behind it, a cinema seats six. The lower deck holds two VIP suites, each with a mini lounge, and three guest cabins. The wellness facilities are extensive: a gym, a sauna with a Himalayan salt wall, a cold bucket shower, a massage room and a glass-bottom deck jacuzzi with changing lights.

A hydraulic swimming platform sits below sea level, and the water list covers a Seabob F5S, three Mares scuba sets, kayaks, paddleboards, a water slide, a trampoline, a sea pool with a jellyfish net and a kids’ pool. A Wattbike and fishing gear are aboard too. Two Zar tenders, of 150 and 50 horsepower, serve the shore, and the crew holds RYA certification.

Best For

Aresteas is a motor-sailor, so she suits sailing-minded guests who also want villa-sized space and spa facilities. Twelve guests, eleven RYA-certified crew and a cinema, gym and sauna make her a strong choice for a multigenerational group. Ask us how much of a week can be spent under sail.
