Mamma Mia
- 39.8m | Maiora | 2008 (2022)
Year on year, the Italian yacht builder Canados has won industry awards in recognition of style and innovation, and stepping on board the 39.8 metre Mamma Mia, you instantly see why.
The interior has been carefully styled to create chic and contemporary living spaces with plenty of natural light, while stunning exterior design ensures maximum enjoyment above deck.
Fully refurbished in 2022, Mamma Mia more than lives up to the party credentials of her movie namesake.
Standout features include a high specification entertainment system with DVD/CD players and plasma screens in all cabins, two al fresco dining areas, a flybridge with sunpads, plush loungers, tables and a bar, and a superb collection of water toys.
Mamma Mia accommodates 12 guests in six beautiful cabins – a full beam master with panoramic views and a spa tub, three doubles and two twins.
The Captain
Having previously worked aboard the likes of Zurga, Blue Bay and Suncoco, to name a few, you'll be hard pressed to find a more experienced captain than Kostos Agapiou. Not only does he hold a Captain’s A’ Class Diploma from the Ministry of Mercantile Marine, he also holds Certificates in Life Saving & Fire Fighting Appliances, SSO, ECDIS, RO-RO Passenger, and a speedboat license.
Commencing his service at sea in 1982 - and working on cargo ships, chemical tankers and passenger ships until 2007 - he left to join motor yachts and hasn't looked back since.
He has extensive experience on some of the most exceptional yachts on the market and is an extremely attentive captain - sharing the owner’s passion for the sea, he brings a sense of calm and professionalism to everyone on board. Polite and happy with a wealth of knowledge to share, it's always a delight with Captain Kostos.
The Experience
Mamma Mia is the only yacht in her category to feature eight crew including three specialist service staff, ensuring unrivalled hospitality and personal attention for all guests on board.
Mamma Mia also excels in the range of waters toys on offer, including personal watercraft, SeaBobs, paddleboards and canoes, a water sofa, fishing gear and snorkelling equipment as well as water skis for children and adults. For excursions onshore, the electric scooters are a delightful way to explore coastal towns and villages.
By night, the fully integrated Bose sound system is sure to see you dancing like a queen and singing ‘thank you for the music’, or you can relax in the cosy salon for a movie night en famille.
“We strive to offer the service and warm hospitality quintessential to the philosophy of Greek life” says Captain Kyriakos. “I enjoy working with an exceptional group of people – professional and passionate, diligent and discreet – with the opportunity to showcase the Greek experience in all its wonder! The Aegean and Ionian are our playground, but my personal favourite is the Ionian Sea with calmer winds and heavenly crystal waters – Antipaxos, in particular, is an earthly paradise.”
The Cuisine
Chef Ioannis Seferiadis is a graduate of the famous Chef D’Oeuvre Culinary Institute in Greece with a true dedication to his craft. With over 20 years’ experience working in five star hotels and catering events at the presidential palace, his culinary design skills have also been commissioned at international exhibitions.
Fluent in English and mother tongue Greek, Chef Ioannis creates delicious dishes using the finest of locally sourced and sustainable ingredients and guest reviews of his exceptional cuisine are high praise indeed.
Describing the culinary experience on board Mamma Mia, Captain Kyriakos says, “When you have a first class chef that works with superior produce, particularly Greek products which are recognized the world over for their high quality, the end result – both nutritionally and in terms of presentation – can only be described as ‘thespesio’ (divinely delicious, in Greek!).”
A typical menu might begin with a mixed seasonal salad with grilled halloumi cheese, freshly caught scallops with cauliflower puree and anchovy foam, a main course of steamed clams with almond sabayon, ending with a mouthwatering strawberry pavlova.
