BRAND STORY — Atalanta Golden Yachts —
ALONG WITH ALL THE exciting mythologies and the Olympic
Games, Greece is also famous for its maritime history. One of the
country’s most experienced luxury chartering companies, Atalanta
Golden Yachts offers a wide range of services for yachting enthusiasts
including chartering of crewed yachts, sales and yacht management.
A decade of experience ensures its pioneer position in the yachting
market in Greece, which is evident in its large fleet of yachts for charter
and sale. Customers can expect a range of spots famous among tourists
and hidden gems in the country for charter, including a 7-day Cyclades
Islands tour that goes from Athens through Syros and Santorini, a
5-day journey of Ionian Islands to cities like Nafpaktos and Kefalonia.
The 10-day tour of the Saronic Gulf Islands and East Peloponnese goes
through Hydra, Kyparisi, Nafplio, Spetses and so on. Atalanta Golden
Yachts also offers other destinations for charter in other parts of the world.
The company can also give advice and suggestions on how to
choose a suitable destination and provide a tailor-made itinerary for
many travellers. Reachable for 24 hours a day, the heart-warming
team also organise birthday parties, special anniversaries, religious
functions and celebrations.
The sales fleet of Atalanta Golden Yachts features three motoryachts

offers full-on services including condition survey report, evaluation,
listing in international websites, participation in yacht shows, financing

The fast emergence of the dealership can be attributed to its solid
foundations and dynamic vision. The head office is in Athens. The
company has an experienced team of more than 40 professionals
including charter and sales brokers, naval architects, port Captains and
chief engineers.
The operation department handles mooring, provisioning, agency
services, marine insurance and travel arrangements that are all in
