Description

Christianna VIII measures 60 ft length overall, with a 17-foot beam and an 8-foot draft, giving her the proportions needed for steady passage-making. A 240-hp inboard provides reliable auxiliary power when the wind eases. Aboard, the equipment list includes a GPS chart plotter and autopilot for navigation, plus a bimini and sprayhood for cockpit shelter. Safety and utility gear is well covered too, with a liferaft, VHF, and a dinghy with outboard for getting ashore.

Athens, Alimos marina is the departure point for cruising the Greek islands, where itineraries are influenced by the meltemi winds and the layout of the surrounding archipelago. Charter operations are managed by Christianna Yachting, which handles the yacht from this Mediterranean base in Greece.
