Yachting in Greece
Think about the size and kind of the yacht, your preferred itinerary, your budget, the experience of the crew, the facilities, safety precautions, and your communication with the charter business when hiring a yacht and crew in the Greek Isles. Make sure the staff can deliver a customized and pleasurable service, set expectations, go over contracts, and arrange provisioning. We are not identifying the charter company we selected because we had a less than ideal experience with them. Though it was a lot of work to arrange the itinerary with the skipper as opposed to what we agreed with the charter business, we still had a fantastic trip.
