Why the contract is in euros, and how to think in dollars anyway

The owners are paid in euros. The crewed yachts of Greece belong to European owners and their rate cards are in euros; the MYBA agreement, the VAT invoice and the APA account are in euros; the captain buys diesel in euros. A dollar price is a translation, and an honest one says which day it was made. This page uses the European Central Bank reference rate of 6 October 2026 and says so; the proposal from this house uses the rate of the day it is written and says that too. What moves and what does not. The euro figure is fixed by the contract. The dollar cost of the deposit is set on the day the wire goes; the dollar cost of the balance on the day it goes, forty-five days before boarding; the difference between the two is the exchange rate's, not the owner's or the broker's. A party that wants certainty buys euros when the proposal is accepted; a party that does not simply watches the rate. The United States company. George Yachts Brokerage House LLC is registered in Wyoming, which means a United States counterparty and a United States address for the paperwork, with the brokerage desk in Athens and the broker on the quay. The proposal arrives with the euros and the dollars side by side, so the number you decide on is the number you understand. 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 decide for 2027, in dollars

The rate moves; the yacht's calendar moves faster. 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 proposal in euros and dollars with the rate and its date; a dollar figure without a date is a guess.
The deposit and the balance are wired on different days at different rates; budget the balance at a little above today's rate.
The gratuity can be given in dollars; the crew will not mind the currency.
Compare Greece against the Caribbean on the all-in week, not the base; the VAT and the APA differ by sea.
