Yacht management in the Ionian
Your yacht, kept ready and earning its keep.
We look after privately owned yachts at Gouvia Marina, Corfu: maintenance, berthing, compliance and insurance. Put her into our charter fleet and the season's income pays the running costs, while you keep your own weeks aboard.

What our owners say
“Potis has run my boat for five years. Last season she earned €20,000 with all expenses taken care of, and in three years she has had new sails, a new bimini and sprayhood, and a rebuilt transom.”
Owner, Oceanis 45
“He takes good care of her and sorts out any charter damage as smoothly as possible. I don't have to deal with any of it, and I still get a seaworthy, safe yacht.”
Owner, Oceanis 40
“My boat is kept in perfect shape and I save on her expenses. I still use her for three weeks a year, and can skipper her myself with a crew I choose.”
Investor, owner of a Sun Odyssey 449 and a Sun Odyssey 479
Owner questions
The answers owners ask for first
Straight answers before you pick up the phone. Anything not here, ask the assistant or the team.
Call +44 7458 164 178How are you paid?
A share of what she earns, not a fixed fee. Our management fee is 35% of the season's gross charter income, plus VAT at 24%. We issue a VAT invoice for it, so you can set it against the yacht's expenses. If she earns less, we earn less.
How many weeks can I use her myself?
6 to 8 owner weeks a season, in April–May and October, booked in advance. You can sail her yourself or bring a skipper and crew you choose. Want a week in the high season instead? You can book it by paying our management fee on that week, plus VAT at half the standard rate (12%).
Who pays if a charter guest damages her?
Every charter guest leaves a refundable security deposit, and the yacht is insured for charter. Damage is claimed from the deposit or the insurance, and we arrange and oversee the repair. You don't have to deal with the guest or the yard.
Who insures her?
We arrange charter insurance through Pantaenius, with EIS as the alternative. Cover is in place before her first charter.
Where is she kept, and who pays the berth?
At Gouvia Marina, Corfu, alongside the rest of the fleet. The berth is paid by the owner.
How long is the agreement, and how do I leave?
At least three seasons; the exact term depends on her build year. After that it renews each season. To take her out of charter, give us written notice by 31 August for the following season, before next year's bookings open.
How do I see what she earns and costs?
In your owner login: every booking, the income and each expense as the season goes, plus an end-of-season report.
Is your yacht a fit for our fleet?
Answer a few quick questions and we'll tell you whether she suits charter, needs a few things sorted, or is better under management only.
