What Are the Best Yacht Charter Companies for a Family-Friendly Sailing Trip in the Aegean Sea?

The catamaran, and why. A family sails on a catamaran: it sits flat at anchor, the nets at the bow are where the children live, the swim platform is a step from the water, and two hulls give the adults a side of their own. The 15 to 17 metre Lagoons and Balis on this list carry four or five cabins for eight to ten, and the 20 metre Fountaine Pajots add a chef and a crew of three. The crew, and the distances. A captain who has run a yacht with children aboard anchors at noon in a bay with sand under the keel, moves in the early morning while they sleep, and keeps the legs under three hours; a cook-hostess who has fed eight-year-olds knows what to buy in Poros. The Saronic has all of that from Athens without a Meltemi; the western Cyclades have it in June and September. What this house proposes. Two or three crewed catamarans whose crews it has placed families with, a Saronic or western Cyclades week drawn around calm bays and short legs, the base, the VAT rate, the APA estimate at a catamaran's 20 to 30 percent, and the gratuity range, in writing, within twenty-four hours, from the broker who meets the family on the quay. 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.
