Frequently asked
About this charter type
Can I pay in USD or only EUR?
Yacht charter contracts are in EUR (Greek VAT) but US clients can wire USD with auto-conversion. AmEx Centurion / Chase Reserve cards waive FX fees on payments.
Do I need EU travel documents?
US passports allow 90-day visa-free Schengen entry. No advance visa needed for Greek charter.
What about flight logistics?
Direct JFK-Athens flights (Delta, United, American) take 9-10 hours. EWR-Athens routes via Frankfurt/Heathrow common. We can coordinate same-day yacht boarding for arrivals before 14:00.
