The 31.6-Metre Classic Motor Yacht, Sounion II, Swaps Hands in a Central Agency Shift

A stunning embodiment of seafaring elegance, the 31.6-meter Sounion II has recently seen a fundamental change in its central agency. The motor yacht, known for its classic design sensibilities, is now listed under the aegis of the renowned Michel Chryssicopoulos at IYC. Constructed by Benetti in the pivotal year of 1969, the yacht boasts a sturdy amalgamation of steel and aluminium in its construction. Sounion II has been the subject of extensive refits in recent years, now featuring the stylings of the illustrious interior designer Anouska Hempel, who has instilled the vessel with a subtle Asian aesthetic.

A crew of six can feasibly be housed on the Sounion II, with quarters allocated specifically for this purpose. The yacht’s three decks are testament to adept space optimisation. Here, the saloon leads through to a longitudinal dining area featuring two rectangular tables which can merge to form a single extended dining surface.

Sounion II further possesses an al fresco dining option at the aft of its saloon, neatly shaded by the overhanging sundeck. With a comfortable seating area also located in the canoe stern, the yacht is perfect for casual cocktail parties or simply savouring the pleasure of being at sea. Stylistically, the yacht successfully marries atemporal charm with modern amenities. The ingenuity behind its design is a testament to the allure of the modern superyacht lifestyle.

The engine configuration is impressive, powered by a duo of refurbished 750hp Volvo diesels. Sounion II can achieve a cruising speed of 11.5 knots, topping out at a maximum speed of 13 knots. With substantial fuel capacity, the yacht boasts a range of 2,900 nautical miles at a consistent cruising speed of 11 knots. The Sounion II embodies a bygone era of seafaring glamour, taking its place as one of the most delightful classic yachts currently up for sale. It is currently berthed in Athens, Greece, calling prospective new owners to experience the thrill of life on the water.
