ILLUSION 2 Lloyds Ship

Built in 1991 by Lloyds Ship — a name known for solidly built, classic motor yachts — Illusion yacht is a 40-metre charter yacht offering a timeless base for exploring the Aegean and the Dodecanese.

Accommodation: 6 Staterooms for 12 Guests

Illusion yacht offers 6 staterooms for 12 overnight guests, giving her a strong layout for families, couples, and private groups exploring the Aegean. Her 40 metre length and 9 metre beam create a broad, settled feel on board, with enough room for guests to enjoy time together without losing their own quiet corners.

The Illusion yacht brings together classic yacht character and a refreshed charter standard. The six-cabin plan works well for a full group, especially on longer routes between Kos, the Dodecanese islands, Bodrum, and Marmaris. Each day can hold a different pace, from early swims and island visits to relaxed evenings on deck, and the accommodation supports that rhythm with comfort after full days at sea.

Onboard Amenities & Entertainment

The Illusion yacht has three decks designed around open-air living, which suits her Aegean charter area especially well. The flybridge is one of her most appealing spaces, with a jacuzzi and seating area where guests can enjoy wide views across the water. It is the kind of spot that works from morning to night, whether the yacht is leaving Kos, anchored off Kalymnos, or arriving near Bodrum at sunset.

Her outdoor areas give guests space for sun, shade, dining, and easy conversation. Her original Lloyds Ship build keeps a sense of substance and seaworthy comfort. With a cruising speed of 11 knots and a top speed of 15 knots, Illusion 2 suits island-hopping days where the journey feels as enjoyable as the arrival.

Charter Illusion 2 Yacht: Destinations & Sample Itinerary

Illusion yacht begins her Aegean journey in Kos, where guests can settle in and enjoy the island’s mix of beaches, cafés, and ancient sites. The first day is perfect for a gentle introduction: a swim in the turquoise waters near Kos Town, followed by lunch on deck while the crew prepares for the adventure ahead.

A short sail leads to Kalymnos, renowned for its sponge diving history and rugged coastline. The yacht can anchor in a quiet cove, allowing guests to explore by tender, try paddleboarding, or take a leisurely hike along the shore. This first full day blends active exploration with moments of calm onboard.

Next, the Illusion yacht can head north to Leros and Patmos. Patmos offers spiritual and cultural depth, including the UNESCO-listed Monastery of Saint John the Theologian and the Cave of the Apocalypse. Guests can spend the morning ashore walking the quaint streets, then return to the yacht for an afternoon of swimming or watersports in the surrounding bays.

Further east, Symi presents a picturesque harbour lined with pastel-coloured houses. Guests can enjoy local seafood ashore, take a tender ride to hidden coves, or simply relax on deck with panoramic views of the Dodecanese. The yacht’s flybridge and Jacuzzi ensure ample space for relaxation throughout the day.

The route can conclude in Bodrum, where a mix of history and marina life provides a lively finale. Guests may stroll through the castle and local markets or enjoy a sunset cocktail on deck as the city lights come alive. Illusion’s combination of spacious decks, water toys, and expert crew allows the group to experience both the serenity of hidden bays and the energy of iconic ports, creating a varied and immersive Aegean charter.
