Dionea

There are yachts that echo luxury, and then there is DIONEA—a vessel that whispers of history, elegance, and a bygone glamour brought gracefully into the present. At 51.8 meters, this 1962 Italian beauty was born at the Cantiere Navale Felszegi shipyard in Muggia, originally as a high-society ferry, before being reborn in 2003 as a superyacht of singular charm by the Mariotti yard. She has sailed through time, not away from it—each refit, including her most recent in 2017, carefully preserving her soul while polishing every detail.

DIONEA is now a floating sanctuary in the West Mediterranean, offering an experience that feels at once cinematic and deeply personal. With room for 12 guests across six refined cabins—including a master suite perched on the wheel deck and a generous VIP forward—she welcomes families, friends, and discerning corporate travelers alike. She’s also a coveted choice for event charters, thanks to her timeless profile and artful interiors by Ivana Porfiri.

Life aboard moves to its own, unhurried rhythm. The decks—revived teak underfoot—invite long, sunlit lunches and moonlit dinners alfresco. Inside, the formal dining salon glows beneath a skylight, while a forward salon offers space to unwind in quiet elegance. For the actively inclined, there’s a tempting array of toys: WaveRunners, waterskis, inflatables, kayaks, even yoga and massage sessions on request.

Cruising at 12 knots, DIONEA isn’t in a rush—nor are her guests. This is a yacht for those who appreciate heritage with a touch of salt air, where every detail speaks not of excess, but of taste. A classic, yes—but never outdated. DIONEA is that rare thing: a storybook on water, still being written.
