About
www.persefoniyacht.comThe Persefoni yacht is a 53.8-metre superyacht that embodies the rare balance between timeless design, proven engineering, and contemporary luxury. Built by the prestigious Mariotti Yachts in Genoa and launched in 2012, Persefoni represents one of the shipyard’s most celebrated builds — a vessel conceived for serious cruising while delivering an exceptional guest experience.
Constructed with a Lloyd’s-class steel hull and aluminium superstructure, Persefoni offers the robustness and reliability expected from a pedigree Northern Italian yard. Powered by twin Caterpillar engines, she reaches a top speed of 17 knots and cruises comfortably at 14 knots, with an impressive range of 5,000 nautical miles. This capability allows seamless exploration of the entire Mediterranean, with particular focus on the Greek islands, where she is based and operates extensively.
In 2023, Persefoni underwent a comprehensive refit under the supervision of Emperio Yachting Alliance, bringing her technical systems, guest areas, and onboard amenities fully in line with modern superyacht standards. Mechanical upgrades were carried out throughout, while interiors were refreshed with a refined, contemporary finish. Her zero-speed stabilisers ensure exceptional comfort both underway and at anchor — a critical advantage in the open and often exposed anchorages of the Aegean.
The yacht’s distinctive aesthetic is the work of Luca Dini Design & Architecture, whose approach emphasizes proportion, elegance, and the intelligent use of natural light. The result is an interior and exterior that remain strikingly relevant today — understated yet unmistakably Italian in character.
Persefoni accommodates up to 12 guests in six beautifully appointed staterooms, including a standout master suite featuring hydraulic balconies that extend directly over the water. These create an immersive connection with the surrounding seascape, offering a unique experience rarely found within this size category. Additional outdoor and interior spaces are designed for both relaxation and socialising, combining comfort with a sense of openness.
A professional crew of 13 delivers a consistently high standard of service, while the onboard culinary experience is elevated by a Michelin-trained chef who crafts menus inspired by the regions visited — particularly the rich and diverse gastronomy of Greece.
Today, Persefoni stands as a benchmark in the 50–55 metre class — a yacht that proves that with the right pedigree, investment, and management, excellence is not defined by age, but by execution.
