About this feature

What is George Yachts featured for?

George Yachts was featured in Forbes on 1 May 2026, in a piece by Forbes Contributor Jacques Ledbetter analyzing how ultra-high-net-worth wealth is repositioning across geography, passports, and portfolios in 2026. George P. Biniaris, Managing Broker of George Yachts, was quoted on the rapid shift of charter demand from Gulf, Red Sea, and UAE-based summer experiences toward Greek waters.

Why Greek waters specifically?

According to the Forbes piece, Greek waters have absorbed displaced charter demand for several reasons: operation entirely within EU and NATO waters, no elevated security advisories, and a mature crewed charter infrastructure regulated under MYBA standards. The article reports that peak-season availability in the 20-to-40-metre range has tightened materially compared to the same period in 2025.

Who else was featured in the article?

The Forbes piece included perspectives from Sotheby's (Caribbean real estate), Arton Capital (citizenship and residency), Cloud9 Concierge (Mykonos villas and yachts), Suite Sojourn (private villas), and Onirikos Milan (luxury travel). George Yachts was the sole yacht brokerage featured.
