Choosing the house

Which Are the Best Motor Yacht Charter Companies in Greece?

Every company has access to the same motor yachts. The test is what they do with your brief, your money and your week.

How to judge a motor yacht charter company

The fleet is not the test. The crewed motor yachts of Greece are owned privately and managed by their operators; every serious house can show you the same Benetti. The test is what happens after you write. Does the proposal arrive with the yacht's VAT rate and a worked APA, or with "plus expenses"? Does one person read your brief and call the owner, or does a reservations desk send a list? Is the person who quoted you the person on the quay in Alimos when you board, and the person who answers when the Meltemi changes the plan on Wednesday? Motor yachts raise the stakes on the arithmetic. A motor yacht's APA is 30 to 40 percent of the base; on a EUR 60,000 week that is EUR 18,000 to 24,000 of fuel, food, drink and berths, and a house that does not estimate it for your itinerary is leaving the largest line of your holiday to chance. The best company tells you the number before you decide, not after. A boutique house against a desk of fifty. A large agency has reach and a long list; a boutique house has one broker who knows which captain runs a quiet ship, which 33 metre yacht's fifth cabin is really a double, and which owner will hold a week for a serious party. That knowledge is the service, and it is what this house was built to sell. Who you are dealing with. George Yachts Brokerage House LLC is a United States company, registered in Wyoming, with its brokerage desk in Athens, a few minutes from the marinas the yachts leave from. It is a boutique house: one broker, George P. Biniaris, Founder and Managing Broker, a licensed sailing skipper with a powerboat licence valid to 25 metres, handles every file himself, from the first message to the quay on check-in day, and is reachable on WhatsApp at +1 786 798 8798. The house is listed as an IYBA Charter Active Member, writes every charter on the MYBA form of agreement, was featured in Forbes in May 2026, and holds a 5.0 rating on Google. The APA, the VAT at each yacht's certified rate and the gratuity are set out line by line in every proposal, so nothing arrives as a surprise.

When to choose the house for 2027

Before the yacht, not after; the house that reads your brief in October has first call on the owners' calendars for July. Peak weeks for July and August 2027 are being contracted now, in the autumn of 2026; the five and six cabin yachts go first. Nine to fourteen months ahead for a peak week, six to nine for June and late September, three to four for May and October. Booking early buys first choice of yacht and week rather than a discount.

George's insider notes

Ask for the IYBA listing and the contract form before you ask for a quote; the answer takes one minute.
A motor yacht proposal without an APA estimate for your route is incomplete; ask for one at 30 and at 40 percent.
Ask who meets you on the quay. "The local agent" is the gap in the service.
The crew matters more than the builder's name on a motor yacht; ask the broker which captains he would put his own family with.
