It takes just common sense to understand that each one of all these so-called “internet authorities” has a good reason to either GUIDE YOU to certain yacht charter owners-brokers-operators in Greece OR DISCOURAGE you from booking with someone you have judged as a good company to sail with in the Greek islands. Probably the best way to decide which company is best for you is to get references from people who have chartered with that company before. They will be able to tell you what they liked about a company, and more importantly, what was the general impression and what they did not like. In EASY SAILING we believe that most times is better let our clients speak for us. Many of our clients have agreed to provide information via email to people who wish to check EASY SAILING level of yachts and services. So, in full respect of EASY SAILING 's PRIVACY POLICY (http://www.easysailing.gr/legal-privacy.htm) we have taken their approval before passing you on their email addresses. We hope to do the same with you after you book and complete your holidays. Feel free to request the email address of people from your country or from people who departed from the charter base or rented the same type of yacht you are planning to sail. We will be happy to provide you with email address as you wish. As to the rest, here is our aspect when choosing a charter company: Be prepared to come by bigger and smaller charter companies:  from huge organisations with many bases and large fleets at every base (ex. Moorings, Sunsail, etc) to one man companies operating one boat. There are advantages in chartering from a larger company and good benefits from chartering with a smaller, more personal company. The main profit of chartering from a larger company is that they usually have newer boats and are more able to come and fix any equipment failures you may have. Smaller companies can often offer personal service, assist you with different issues, be more flexible with dates, base and much cheaper prices. Technical support during charter time is something you should examine before fixing your booking with a certain charter company. In Greece, a company should definitely be licensed by the GNTO (Greek National Tourism organisation), but apart from that no other bond should help you evaluate reliability and trustworthiness of a charter company.

As far as equipment is concerned all charter companies offer different items as standard so it is a good idea to check what is supplied. Do prices include yacht’s final cleaning? Transfer from the airport? Taxes? Do you get an outboard motor for the dinghy? Snorkel equipment? CD player? Bimini? What Year of built? Similarly it is a good idea to check what their policy is about ice, fresh water and fuel. Other things to bear in mind when choosing your company is what their payment and cancellation policies are and also if you think they will still be in business when you come to take your holiday. So, while taking everything in consideration you can request availability for the particular type or length of yacht you desire stating charter dates, charter base, and any other information that will help ( our company EASY SAILING too) quote the most appropriate yacht for your charter holidays in Greece and the Greek islands.
