The next installment of Below Deck Mediterranean has all the makings of a Greek epic.
Bravo just announced the ninth season of the hit reality series will take place in the azure waters off the coast of Athens, Greece, with the cast returning to the glamorous 180-foot Mustique for more drama. According to the TV network, Captain Sandy and her team will face “fresh and formidable challenges,” including eccentric guests, mechanical issues, and medical emergencies. You can expect plenty of “boatmances,” too. Mustique will again serve as a beautiful backdrop for the season.
Delivered by U.S. yard Trinity Yachts in 2006, the vessel is getting a little long in the tooth but underwent a substantial refit last year. The white hull was painted sky blue, the operational systems were upgraded, and the interior was revamped. The vessel’s name was also changed to Purpose this past January.
Large enough to accommodate both guests and reality TV stars, Purpose is equipped with six generous cabins, including an owner’s suite, a VIP, three doubles, and a twin. In addition, the yacht features a sprawling main salon with a baby grand piano, a formal dining room, and an upper deck lounge. The living quarters evoke the Golden Age of yachting, with dark wood paneling contrasting light upholstery.
Heading outside, the sundeck is home to a Jacuzzi, sun loungers, and a bar perfect for cocktail hour. The crew can also set up an alfresco gym or an open-air cinema outside if you desire. As you might expect, Purpose also comes with a full arsenal of water toys and tenders, including a 32-foot Intrepid, wave runners, kayaks, paddleboards, and more. She also sports an inflatable pool, a 30-foot waterslide, and a beach club pontoon that will be particularly fun in the Med.
Purpose is no slouch, either. The cruiser has a top speed of 15 knots and a range of 4,000 nautical miles. The best part? You can cruise the seas on Purpose just like the cast Below Deck. The yacht will be available for charter this summer via Hill Robinson from €270,000 per week. You can book her during various stages of her world tour in the Red Sea, Mediterranean, Scandinavia, Greenland, and Canada, among other locations.
