In early 2015 I’ve established my own
company M BLUE YACHTS having previously
worked as retail broker and Yacht Fleet
Charter Manager.
The use of a yacht broker is essential, most
importantly the Client will benefit from the
safeguards that have been established by
the industry, be assured is represented by
an experienced professional that will service
in highest ethical and technical standards.
Client will make use of the broker’s technical
knowledge, charter destinations and be
advised on the best places to go. Participating
in the major yacht shows worldwide and
interviewing the crew members, I get a first-
hand account of what each one has to offer,
so that they can match this up to a specific
Client’s needs.Brokers are objective. They
want happy clients, and they want repeat
business.
I have procured from helicopters transfers
to ChateauPétrus wines, personal trainers,
restaurants bookings at a very last moment
Client’s request because the “concierge
service” is also a part of my job.
My success keys are the personal approach on
the Client’s yachting needs; regarding sale and
purchase, charter or management. I promise
great attention to detail, transparency and
altruism. Those important credits have made
my significant number of returning clientele.
Speaking of Yacht Sales, my most memorable
sale has been representing the buyer; I closed
a 46-metre new built Baglietto non long
ago. The buyer wanted to change the initial
interior to his personal taste and being able
to participate in a team of highly experienced
professionals on building a yacht is thrilling.
I have followed my father’s business of
over 35 years of experience in the industry
as yacht broker and yacht owner. Since
I remember myself we were sailing the
beautiful Greek islands during weekend
getaways and summer vacations. Later
on I have joined sailing regattas
crews, performing great results in the
competitions and gaining experience on
handling and maintaining a yacht to the
finest state.
Having sailed this great number of miles
into the Greek seas, working as a yacht
broker came naturally. My passion for
the sea and yachts together with the
enthusiasm of offering five-star services
