So, in full respect of EASY SAILING ‘s PRIVACY POLICY (http://www.easysailing.gr/legal-privacy.htm) it is is our aspect when choosing a charter company: Be prepared to come by bigger and smaller charter companies, from huge organizations with many bases and large fleets at every base (ex. Moorings, Sunsail, Dream Yacht worldwide, 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 company providing personalized service. The main profit of chartering from a larger company is that they usually have newer boats and they are able to respond more quickly to equipment failures you may have. Smaller companies can often offer a more personal service, advice, guidance and assist you with different issues, can be be flexible with dates, bases, and man yof them offer lower prices. Technical support during the charter time is something you should examine before fixing your booking with amy given charter company. In Greece, a company should definitely posesss a charter license for each and every sailing yacht in its fleet, but apart from that, no other bond or accredation will help you evaluate reliability and trustworthiness of a charter company.

Transfer from the airport? Taxes? Do you get an outboard motor for the dinghy? Free or extra cost ? Snorkel equipment ? USB or smartphone connection? Wi-Fi? What Year of built? Similarly, it is a good idea to check what the charter operator’s policy is about marina fees, fresh water, and fuel. Other things to bear in mind when choosing your company is what their payment and cancellation policies are, and checking the small leeters print on the contract before payment should not be forgotten. 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.
