Billionaire Yacht Charter Greece

The bound list is short and precise. Clause 6(c) of the MYBA Charter Agreement states that "the Captain and Crew are bound at all times to keep all information related to this Charter, the OWNER, the CHARTERER, and all Guests as confidential and no information is to be disclosed to any third party without prior permission of the CHARTERER in writing." On a 50 metre yacht that is typically ten to fourteen people, and the clause covers all of them equally, from the captain to the deckhand who takes the tender in. The unbound list is longer: shore agents, provisioners, the marina, drivers, the fixed-base operator at the airport, and every private security contractor you did not hire through the contract. On a charter at this level the discretion work is mostly about how few of those people need to know anything at all, and it is done before you arrive rather than managed once you are aboard.

Partly, and it is worth understanding which part. AIS carriage is governed by SOLAS Chapter V, Regulation 19, which requires it on ships of 300 gross tonnage and upwards on international voyages and on all passenger ships whatever their size. Above roughly 40 metres you are usually inside that requirement, and once a yacht is fitted the system must stay in operation: the master may switch it off only if continual operation might compromise the safety or security of the vessel, and the silence has to be logged with its reason. Privacy is not one of the permitted reasons, so treat any offer to go dark as a warning about the broker rather than a feature. What is true and useful: the AIS signal carries the vessel, not the guest list. The yacht is identified by its own name and its owning company, and nothing in the transmission connects it to you. Where the exposure actually comes from is the quay, the flight, the restaurant booking and the social account of another guest, which is where the planning belongs.

Four things, all documentary, all answerable in a day. Show us Clause 6(c) in the contract you are proposing, so we can read the confidentiality wording ourselves rather than take a summary. Confirm what the crew have signed: an NDA is normally issued by the owner or the management company and is written into or annexed to the Seafarer Employment Agreement, which the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 governs, and under which the seafarer has the right to take advice before signing. Show the yacht's Greek charter licence, because a yacht without one cannot legally take you and no privacy arrangement survives a port inspection. And name the membership you claim, in a directory we can open. For our part: George Yachts Brokerage House LLC is a Wyoming company operating from Athens, an IYBA Charter Active Member listed in their public directory, holding no central agency mandate and owning no yacht in Greek waters, which is why the yacht proposed to you is chosen for your dates rather than for our inventory.

Discretion here is operational, not a brochure word. NDAs run at owner, broker and crew level as standard, with principal-specific NDAs on request. Shore reservations at marquee venues are made through the yacht without the principal's name entering any booking system. Close protection is available through partners and coordinated with the captain. And the conversation itself starts by introduction rather than web form. One broker holds the whole thread, which is itself the discretion: fewer hands, fewer copies, fewer names.

Phone or in-person, by introduction. We don't take first inquiries via web forms at this tier. If you're new to us, an introduction from an existing repeat client, family office, or partner brokerage opens the conversation. Otherwise the route is your private aviation broker or wealth manager.
