The RHEA, which was launched in spring 2017, is, like its sister ship CHRONOS, one of the most beautiful large luxury sailing yachts in the world with its 1000 m² sail area and 54 m length.
“Your private yacht for a limited time!”
The name RHEA comes from Greek mythology and stands for the mother of Zeus and partner of his father Cronus.
It represents an ideal compromise between outstanding sailing characteristics, great stability and plenty of comfort and space below and on deck.
The crew of 10, consisting of captain, chef, engineer, deck crew and stewardesses & stewards, will make every effort to look after you with the utmost care and attention.
Sailing under the Dutch flag, she meets the latest safety requirements and is equipped with modern navigation and sailing technology – in the style of a classic staysail ketch. In addition to a spacious teak deck, she has a fully equipped bar, a saloon in the deckhouse and further seating and dining options on the aft deck.
Below deck, 13 air-conditioned, comfortable double cabins await you – all with their own bathroom.
In all deluxe cabins, the beds can be arranged as single, double or family beds. The following illustration is only an example.

Like her sister ship CHRONOS, RHEA was designed by the Turkish shipyard Ark Yacht in Bodrum and built to a design by Klaus Röder (Carpe Diem Yacht Design). The ship was built between 2016 and May 2017 and was christened on April 30, 2017 off the island of Delos, the center of the Cyclades.
Our first ship – and with her this special sailing concept was founded in 2007. With a length of 38 meters and a sail area of 556 m², KAIRÓS is about half the size of her two big sisters CHRONOS and RHEA.
