The Overview
Istros was originally built by Amsterdam Shipyard Ltd. G. de Vries Lentsch Jr. [now known to be Feadship] in 1954 and was one of the largest motoryachts built to date in the Netherlands at that time. A the time, the local press were most impressed with the outcome of a two-and-a-half-year project on behalf of the Greek shipping family Pappadakis. One journalist was awestruck by the violet-blue bathrooms, the advanced radar system and, most of all, by a white telephone which could be used to “call people anywhere in the world from wherever in the world the yacht may be.” Following the most comprehensive refit we have seen in the classic yachting sector, completed in 2020 by Feadship themselves, the 42 metre Istros is now, without doubt, the finest classic restoration on the waters, boasting the finish of arguably the greatest ship-yard in the world, Feadship.

The interiors onboard Istros are quite something, a totally immaculate and refreshing design, with a focus on allowing the exterior to flow through to create an immersive sense of your surroundings. The centrepiece of the interior is the salon, a very light decorative ambience that makes for a wonderous space in which you are able to relax with friends and family, amongst the finest finishes that can be found on any yacht, regardless of size. The quality, yet simplicity, of the interior is what makes this vessel so special, from the finest fabrics of the Italian textile firms to the hand-carved wood and the beautifully polished metals, everything about this yacht exudes the highest levels of craftsmanship. In terms of accommodation, you will find five guests staterooms, the master cabin is one of the finest you will find on any yacht, a beautiful main deck master, spanning the width of the superstructure with 180-degree views from the comfort of your bed. Down below, four further staterooms, all benefiting from en-suites, and styled in the timeless fashion carried elsewhere on the yacht, comprise a comfortable setting for all guests. Every room onboard Istros has great proportions that are comparable to that of a modern-day yacht of a similar size.

The exterior spaces onboard Istros are very diverse, on the main deck you will find a very spacious dining area sat amongst the curves of the swan stern, with plenty of space to entertain, or sit back and relax whilst enjoying your meal. Moving upstairs, you find a real masterpiece of the exterior design - a beautifully flowing, and vast area sits behind the pilothouse, comprising of a comfortable seating area in which you can unwind, or have a game of backgammon, whilst being served drinks from the bar that sits further forward, or head further back and enjoy soaking up the sun on the vast loungers, complete with shades should the Mediterranean sun be too sharp on such a day. Forward of the pilothouse, a walkway surrounds the bridge, enabling a captains view down the bow of the vessel. Atop of the pilothouse, a viewing deck, also used for storage of a selection of the toys, makes for the perfect place to have a 360-degree view of your surroundings, wonderful for overseeing your arrival into the likes of Portofino or St Tropez, with the wind your hair, a drink hand and your favourite cigar in the other.
Istros is truly one of the finest yachts in the world, not just amongst the classic fleet, and is finished to the absolute highest level. A short period onboard is truly addictive, and you’ll be sure to return for more.
