FLORI

There is a version of the Mediterranean that only shows itself at this size and this standard, and FLORI was built to move through it — a 29-metre Sanlorenzo SD96, designed inside and out by Zuccon International Project and Patricia Urquiola.

The Urquiola interior is the quiet giveaway. Natural oak, linen, soft tactile surfaces, a palette you’d expect in a Mallorca villa rather than a yacht of this bracket. Four en-suite cabins, all of them properly rooms: a full-beam master on the main deck with a bathroom more spa than head, a VIP forward, two double guest cabins aft. Nobody draws the short straw.

Days run at whatever tempo the guests want. The toy box opens into a Williams DieselJet, three Seabob F5s, two Sea-Doo Spark jetskis, towables, floating platforms, paddleboards and snorkelling kit — enough firepower for a group that wants the water all day, enough restraint for a couple who mostly want the sundeck bar, a book, and the right playlist. Scorpios one night; a cove off Paxos and dinner on board the next.

A crew of six who know the coast run the week with the lightness that only comes from being genuinely good at it — the sort of service that makes every decision feel like the guests thought of it first. FLORI is not chasing the 40-metre tier and doesn’t need to. She is the boat the other boats ask about.
