Accommodations
The 31.62m SOUNION II bears the exterior profile of a classic Benetti and the interior of a modern superyacht.
This characterful motor yacht underwent an extensive refit in 2018 and a whole interior refit in 2023, she embodies all the timeless style of these canoe-sterned classics whilst offering charter guests all the comfort and amenities associated with the modern superyacht lifestyle.
SOUNION II offers accommodation for up to 10 guests in four cabins. The master stateroom is located on the upper deck and enjoys direct access to an aft exterior lounge, and there’s a second master suite positioned forward on the lower deck. A VIP double and a twin cabin, to aft on the lower deck, complete the arrangement. All the cabins are en suite and appointed in similar style.
Space has been optimised across SOUNION II's three decks and her bright, contemporary interior keeps things largely open plan and informal. Honey-coloured wood panelling runs throughout and this is partnered with crisp white upholstery and accented by playful bursts of turquoise.
With exterior lounges, extended sun pads and a stunning al fresco dining setup, the yacht feels more akin to a coastal hotel or luxury beach club and the vibrant ambience creates a naturally relaxed and social atmosphere.
Guests will love SOUNION II’s spacious sun deck where they can enjoy elevated views and unadulterated sunshine, and the choice of both interior and exterior dining spaces.
The carefully considered refit has given this yacht a new lease of life and she will delight guests of all ages and tastes. SOUNION II carries an impressive array of water toys that will keep the whole family smiling, including two Seabobs, stand-up paddleboards, water ski and wakeboard equipment, snorkelling sets and various inflatables.
SOUNION II cruises in comfort at 11.5 knots with stabilisers to smooth her motion, and her low fuel consumption makes her much more economical than other yachts of this age and style.
