We represent and maintain the largest fleet of professionally crewed luxury yachts in Greece, having earned an impeccable reputation among charter brokers, yacht owners and repeated clients for having the highest standards of charter yachts with highly professional crews. We promote the yachts we offer for chartering to other reputable charter brokers on a daily basis with updates of their availability or new acquisitions by phone, fax or e-mail as well as updating constantly our website www.yachting-greece.com.

Charter Fleet Presentation:

Our charter fleet includes sailing and motor yachts. The motor yachts are chartered fully crewed at excellent charter prices and are subdivided to by size categories catering to owners and charter clients needs as follows: motor yachts under 75 feet, then motor yachts 75 to 90 feet, then motor yachts 91 to 120 feet, then motor yachts over 120 feet and finally mega yachts. All motor yachts have place of berth Greece with exceptions in the mega yacht category having only 4 with place of berth Greece, 1 in Turkey and the rest in South France Mediterranean.

And finally the sailing yachts which are offered as bare boat but clients can elect to hire with skipper.

Yachting-Greece charter services includes finding charters for your yacht, managing and maintaining the yacht's schedule of charters, maintaining and updating accurate information on our web site, and mass marketing to other charter brokers worldwide by mailing brochures, emails and faxes. With our yacht chartering service we can help you protect your investment, maximize charter income from it and remain the sole owner!
Our booking procedure is very simple and straight forward. In order to confirm a charter the broker must secure a signed charter contract from the client along with a deposit of 50% of the total charter fee. From the deposit, the broker will deduct the standard 15% commission and must forward the remaining 35% deposit to Yachting-Greece which will hold in a client escrow account until the time of the charter. The balance of the charter fee is due to Yachting-Greece 30 days prior to commencing the charter. The net deposit is paid to the owner on commencement of the charter and the balance upon completion of the charter.
In case the client cancels the charter, we follow the standard industry procedure which is that charter moneys are refunded to the client only if the charter dates are re-booked. If the charter dates are partially re-booked then the charter deposit is pro-rated and then refunded. If the charter dates are not re-booked the owner is paid the charter deposit less commissions. If the yacht cancels a charter or otherwise defaults on a charter, the commission on the canceled charter is considered an earned fee and is owed to the charter broker by the yacht as stated in the charter contract.
Our "Authority to charter contract” allows Yachting-Greece to act as charter agent for your yacht and to manage the charter calendar.
Regarding the chartering rate that should be placed for your yacht we have decades of experience in the chartering market and will be delighted to assist you in determining what is fitting.  
Should you need hiring of crew we can also assist you as we keep updated resumes of highly professional and experienced crew members because we know a good crew is the backbone of a successful charter.
