Although Greece is famous for its hot and sunny summer, Greek winter can be extremely cold.Therefore there are a few precautions to try and minimize the risk presented by some freezing conditions.
- Ensure that hot water, heating and drinking systems are drained down
- Ensure that engines, and any other water cooled machinery is well prepared for the winter days according the recommendations of the manufacturer
- For inland waterways boats try to expel as much of the raw water from the cooling system as possible
- Ensure that upon re-launch all water systems are checked thoroughly for free flowing water and no leaks

For most sea lovers it is unaffordable to buy a yacht. The best solution is to try yacht charters to save a huge amount of money but also take advantage of the many benefits provided when renting a yacht. Some of the most important advantages are:
1. Savings
Apart from the cost of purchase, owning a yacht has very high maintenance costs. Unless you have a private dock of your own you need to pay for parking your boat to a local marina or shipyard. Also you have to make sure that the yacht itself is properly maintained, that the motor is in good sailing condition, there are no leaks etc. The cost of making sure that your yacht is ready to sail at any time can be of thousand euros annually. On the other hand, if you charter a yacht from a reputable company you can be sure that your boat will be in great condition and your cruise will offer the best traveling experience.
2. Flexibility
Another advantage when chartering a yacht instead of buying is that you can choose a different kind of boat each time you wish to go on a cruising trip. You can choose a small yacht if you are going fishing for the weekend with your friends, or you can choose a large yacht if you are going on a 3 week holiday with your family. You can be flexible regarding the amount of money you wish to spend, and also you can choose a crewed yacht in case you don’t have a sailing license.
You don’t have to own a yacht just to enjoy a luxurious cruise in the Greek Islands. Check out our yacht charter fleet for the best selections for the best cruising experience.

Safety on Yacht |
Alcohol and Boating
From the 1000 boating accidents involving people every year, nine out of ten of them are caused because of drinking alcohol. We know it is tough to ask you not to drink on a pleasure boat, but sometimes just a couple of beers are too many. According to statistics, when you’re drinking, you’re much more likely to fall overboard. Another bad thing is that alcohol also reduces the physical ability of your body to protect against cold water. Be careful, alert and act wise!!
Fire Onboard
One of the most distressful things that can happen to a yacht when in open water, is a fire onboard. Although no one wants to face a situation like this, we must admit that it does happen. So you must be ready and prepared to deal with such a case. First make sure you have fully charged fire extinguishers for the type and size of the yacht.
