Greece · Mediterranean Yachting Intelligence

Own the water.
Profit from it.

Greece is the fastest-growing arena in luxury yachting. For owners and investors, it is also the least understood. We publish the numbers, the structures and the playbook that brokers don't put in the brochure.

Three Paths

One yacht. Three ways to make it pay.

The right structure depends on how much you want to use the yacht and how much you want it to earn. The wrong one costs seven figures over a ownership cycle. The playbook walks each path end to end.

I

Private Ownership

  • Flag, registry, VAT importation
  • Holding company: Greece, Malta, Cyprus
  • Crew, compliance, ENFIA-type duties
II

Commercial Charter

  • Commercial licensing & MYBA terms
  • Pricing: high / medium / low season
  • APA, brokers, central agencies
III

Hybrid Ownership

  • Private use with tax-efficient chartering
  • Off-season revenue offsets 30–60% of running costs
  • The model most buyers get wrong
The Numbers

What it really costs. What it really earns.

A 30-metre yacht is a €6–10M asset with €600K–1M in annual running costs. Whether it becomes a liability or a performing asset is decided by decisions made before the purchase: structure, registry, base and charter program.

The Playbook includes full five-year P&L models, conservative to optimistic charter scenarios, and the tax treatment of each structure — the same models we would hand a family office.
